Nearly 100% of the state getting rain. Good amounts already. Heaviest rain at 8:30 was over about the west 1/3 of the state.
A BREAK IN THE RAIN
The rear end of the big rain shield is moving east rather quickly. Places near the Mississippi border should get a break from the extensive rain before 10 this morning, and the Birmingham area will get a break in a couple of hours.
There will still be some redevelopment before a cold front arrives this afternoon. The front was near the Louisiana-Texas border.
It now looks like the 4 inch rainfall amounts projected from yesterday were too high.
Some late rainfall amounts in Alabama so far:
0.89 in West Trussville
0.77 in Northport
0.75 at Shelby County Airport (NWS)
0.93 at Anniston Airport
1.06 in Evergreen
0.64 at Montgomery
0.75 at Tuscaloosa
0.89 in Pinson
0.81 in Selma
0.76 in Greystone Cove (North Shelby)
0.56 at Helena
1.14 in Gadsden
0.41 in Alabaster
1.33 near where Jefferson-St. Clair and Blount counties join.
Please can down for additional information, including the Tornado Watch for Extreme SW Alabama. It looks like severe weather today will be a South Alabama event.

Starting off the morning here in Ocean Springs MS, once again, stormy. Severe thunderstorms looming to the west near Gulfport. Thought I'd be getting away from the tornadoes and severe weather when I moved from north Alabama!
