The line of showers that is in the I-59 Corridor has finally produced lightning!

A single stroke was observed in Blount County a short while ago and there were a couple in Jackson County in Northeast Alabama.

The line extends from Albertville and Boaz to west of Oneonta to west of Birmingham to east of Tuscaloosa to near Demopolis.

It has gradually intensified as it has pushed east but it is still a long way from producing severe weather.

CAPE values (the measure of instability) have increased in advance of the line, like the HRRR predicted, hence the slight intensification.

The wind shear over the showers/storms is decreasing however, as the source lifts out to the east.

All of the showers and storms should be in Georgia beafore 11 p.m.
