At 9:40 this morning, a line of showers and thunderstorms was progressing eastward through West Alabama. The leading edge of the line extended from Livingston and Eutaw to east of Tuscaloosa into West Jefferson County.
They produced about 1/3 inch of rain at Tuscaloosa Airport so far but wind gusts only to about 25 mph. These storms are not severe but they will produce lightning and brief heavy rain.
The storms should be in the Birmingham area by 10 o'clock and also moving into Hale and Bibb County.
The Storm Prediction Center maintains a slight risk of severe weather today for about the south 2/3 of Alabama from about Birmingham southward. However, the atmosphere is still relatively stable across North Central Alabama so the better chance of anything severe may be more to the south.
Regardless, we will watch and wait.

It was cool to watch it go from bright and sunny to dark and stormy... all in a matter of minutes.
