Severe Thunderstorm watch still out there until 7 for much of East Central and SE Alabama including areas as far north as Tuscaloosa and Birmingham.
However, the storms have avoided and stayed south of Jefferson County all afternoon.
At 4:15, the main band of thunderstorms extended from the Pickens-Green County line over on the west side of my favorite state...eastward along the Tuscaloosa-Hale County line...then across Bibb, Chilton and the SE corner of Shelby County. Thunderstorms over east Alabama, in Tallapoosa and Chambers County now much weaker.
The boomers were moving generally east but the whole line was sliding off to the ESE further away from Birmingham.
Reports from 33/40 Skywatchers:
0.24 rainfall in Northport
0.40 (estimated) at Lake Tuscaloosa Dam
1.37 at Jemison (Chilton County)
BLACK CREEK IN A TEMPORARY DESERT
33/40 Weather Watcher Vic Bell has been amazed how the rain avoids him--just like it does Kim Langston in Winfield. Vic reports only 0.28 in recent showers and a mere 5.92 for the last three months. That is less than two inches per month, less than one-half normal. Black Creek is in NE Etowah County, NE of Gadsden.

Nice to see Bonnie Jackson in Upstate New York posting in the comment section of the blog. She is also an E-forecast subscriber. A Frost Advisory is posted for that area tonight!
