Storms To The North, Showers Lingering
All warnings have been allowed to expire and things are winding down. The strongest storms remain from Gadsden down to Anniston and Ranburne
The rest of the heavier thunderstorm activity has moved north of our area and into the Tennessee Valley. There are some lingering light showers across parts of Alabama.
As the storms came though central Alabama, there were many reports of down trees and power lines. Gusty winds associated with the thunderstorm outflow were the cause for the widespread wind damage.
Some areas in Blount County have received enough rain to warrant an Areal Flood Advisory. The rain that has fallen has been very beneficial to parts of the state that are very dry. The same weather pattern looks to remain in place the next several days, and if you did not receive rain today, there is a good chance of picking up some in the coming days.
