The widespread rain continues to retreat eastward in Alabama. Most areas west of Ft. Payne to Clanton to Thomasville are now getting very little rain. Cooler air will be flowing into the state from the west and there could still be some scattered light rain and drizzle over the north, where the steady rain has already ended.
At 1:40, the heaviest rain in the state was east and south of Montgomery and extending into South-Central Alabama.

Earlier today in South Mississippi, a possible tornado touched down SW of Purvis. Numerous trees are down in the area. Trees were also uprooted in a number of other locations in South Mississippi and an 18-wheeler was flipped over by high winds three miles south of Kokomo.
