They are increasing in number.

At 9:20, the storms extended from the Florence-Cherokee area of Extreme NW Alabama southward to Lamar and Fayette County. Strongest storms:

* NW Fayette County (these were in Lamar County earlier)
* Along Winston-Marion County line
* West Colbert County

Moving NE

Western Winston and NW Walker County will be getting some heavy rain between now an 10 PM.

An interesting message from Amy, one of our blog readers in Lamar County:

Just a quick comment on the storm that came through Lamar County earlier. I live in the Pine Springs Area north of Sulligent and the lightning was unreal, but the rain was much needed. We are still hearing lots of thunder and present and still seeing some lightning.

The tropical wave at 30W has exploded with Diurnal Convection in the past hour...Also notice the wave to the North seems to be blocking dry air coming off coast of Africa:
