Rain is becoming extensive over a large part of Alabama--especially in NW Alabama.
The big wet weather system is moving toward the ENE and also expanding down into Central Alabama. At 10:45 am, the heaviest rain was:
* Over Franklin County
* Marion County
* Winston County
* Heaviest of all, however, was over North Central Mississippi
Already, 1.50 inches of rain has fallen near Winfield--a few miles from the Marion-Fayette County line. Reported by Kim Langston, the 3340 SkyWatcher for that area. Kim is probably dancing in the rain because she has missed so much rain in the last several months. In fact, we now call that area the Langston Desert.
Some rain late this morning had spread across North Alabama almost to the Georgia border and it was spreading into the Birmingham Metro area.
Check out this rainfall amount from North Central Mississippi:
5.24 inches at Winona.
That is an actual measurement--not a radar estimate. It was an overnight amount. Actually, radar estimates indicated considerably higher amounts over parts of North Mississippi. Winona is almost exactly half way across North Central Mississippi at the junction of good ole U.S. 82 and I-55. Been through there many times enroute and returning from western trips.
A COOL NORTH ALABAMA MORNING
It was only 68 degrees at 10 am at Muscle Shoals and Huntsville with steady moderate rain. Tuscaloosa was reporting 72 with moderate rain.
This is going to be a significant wet weather system affecting a wide area.
TROPICS
None of the tropical action is a threat to the USA at this time, so please check this link for worlds of information on Florence, Gordon, and TD No. 8 which may become Helene:
