Overall Update

Had to post that last report quickly since the storm over eastern Shelby and western Talladega is very dangerous...

Elsewhere...

Besides the Shelby/Talladega storm, things have calmed a bit. Storms extend from eastern Shelby through Talladega into Clay County and then wrap back up into Randolph County at this hour.

An area of moderate rain covers much of eastern Calhoun, Cherokee and Cleburne Counties.

Lighter showers are over parts of Jefferson and St. Clair Counties.

Storms are picking up in intensity over Northwest Alabama. They are over parts of Marion, Franklin and Colbert Counties.

Expanding our view, things have calmed considerably over the Southeast. Storms are still occurring over western Tennessee near Memphis, back into Arkansas.

Our weak front is stationary over northern Tennessee this evening. It will continue to spark storms tomorrow, as well as possibly a few more overnight tonight. One other factor tomorrow will be all these outflow boundaries lying across the countryside. Each one a little miniature cold front for storm development tomorrow.

If you are around a storm, remember lightning kills...also watch out for torrential rains that can blind you while you are driving. The stronger storms could contain some damaging winds....
