Late Night Storms

A 45 minute power failure put a little crimp in my late night forecasting tonight.

My Sony Vaio laptop failed last week and will not get repaired until Wednesday, so I am working on a spare Dell for now. But I have none of my regular celluar modem service since the cards will not fit in the proprietary slots of the Dell.

Anyway, my 11:15 update was wasted since I couldn't post it.

Now...at 12:20...a line of thunderstorms is moving southeastward across Central Alabama. It is not a continuous line. One concentration is over Cherokee County.

The second concentration is near Birmingham. It extends from south of Irondale to near Helena. A large thunderstorm extends west of Helena and Alabaster. The line picks up from McCalla back to the southwest over Sumter and Hale Counties.

The activity is moving SE at 20 mph.

No warnings are in effect, but the storms are associated with lots of dangerous lightning and torrential rains.

They will continue through the overnight ahead of a slow moving cold front.

That late night storm dropped 0.68" on me, giving me 0.78" for the day, plus another 0.03" just after midnight. Yipee!!!!!!!!!! :)

I don't know how much we got in Huffman, because I didnt even know it rained overnight until I got up this morning. My grass and my flowers are thankful for it.... for sure.
