The most widespread rain in the state was over the northern third at mid afternoon, especially from Walker, Cullman and Blount Counties northward.
Doppler radar estimates show as much as 1.70 inches of rain so far today over parts of North Fayette and South Marion Counties. The heaviest rain at mid afternoon, was from Winston and Cullman Counties northward through Morgan, Madison and Limestone Counties.
The 33/40 skycam at Hamilton indicated 1.48 inches of rain by 3:00. A line of moderate to heavy showers extended southward from Fayette through West Tuscaloosa County to near Eutaw and Livingston. The atmosphere has become more unstable in that area and the dew point has climbed to the mid 70s in Demopolis. We will watch that closely.
A Severe Thunderstorm Watch continues until 7:00 p.m. for SW Alabama from about Clarke County southward and also three counties in the NW Florida Panhandle. Scroll down to see a complete list.
