How It Looks Tonight

At 10 tonight, a line of strong thunderstorms was across Central Arkansas down into Louisiana and moving eastward. Some of the storms were severe. A Severe Thunderstorm Watch is in effect for North Louisiana and SE Arkansas until 2 AM.

The Storm Prediction Center (SPC) has discontinued the "Moderate Risk." area that covered NE Texas, North Louisiana, the southern third of Arkansas and Extreme West Mississippi (around Greenville) and replaced it with a "slight risk."

The slight risk continues as far east as the NW corner of Alabama valid through 6 AM Tuesday. Slight risk extends eastward into other parts of Alabama for tomorrow.

For Central Alabama, still looks like the worst weather will be in the predawn hours and through Tuesday morning. Flash flooding will also be a problem. A Flash Flood Warning is in effect until 1 AM for Franklin, Lauderdale, Limestone, Madison, Colbert and Lawrence Counties in Extreme North Alabama. Already, 2 to 3 inches of rain has fallen. The NWS, Huntsville, advises that numerous roads in those counties were under water tonight.
