That cluster of very strong thunderstorms in Shelby County has now moved down into the SW part of the county. They continue toward the Southwest.

Consider this:

* In Helena, Brian Peters measured 1.39 inches of rain in less than 45 minutes and the temperature cooled to 69.9. That is three degrees below our forecast low for tonight.

* Stephanie Honeycutt, a 3340 Skywatcher in Alabaster reports 0.84 in Alabaster and still pouring.

* In the Maylene section of Alabaster, David Black reports o.28 as of 4:30 pm with heavy rain falling.

* James Spann reports 0.41 so far at the 3340 Studios in Riverchase.

Just a few drops in Columbiana. Not even enough to wash the dust off the windshield!
