LATE MORNING UPDATE

The leading edge of a line of showers and thunderstorms was located at 11:15 am from Gadsden to Pell City and Lake Logan Martin down to east of Marion in Perry County. Moving steadily eastward and producing lightning and locally heavy rain but not much wind so far.

Although the line of storms has passed well east of Tuscaloosa and Birmingham, it is still raining behind the line as far west as the Mississippi border. In fact, moderate to heavy rain now over Pickens and West Tuscaloosa County.

As of 11 am, Birmingham Airport had received 0.48 of an inch of rain but no real strong winds.

The line of showers and storms will reach Anniston, Talladega, Slyacauga and Rockford soon.

What do we look for next?

A cold front has entered West Mississippi and the front has already passed Greenville and Memphis. We will watch for possible redevelopment along and ahead of the front as it progresses eastward.

J. B. I really appreciate the updates you are posting. It really keeps us up-to-date and I know when to get out and when to stay put here at work. Keep up the good work. We all appreciate it out here when we have to go out and make some deliveries.

Thanks a bunch!
