Three More Counties Cleared
The NWS has cleared Walker, Greene and Sumter Counties from the tornado watch.
The watch continues until 10 a.m. for the narrow strip of counties outlined in purple.
The line of rain and some thunder continues to push eastward. The heaviest rain is just entering the Birmingham Metro area at this time. The line is progressing, so the heaviest rain will last about 20 minutes with a general rain for about an hour behind it.
The line moving a little faster now unfortunately means the rain won’t last as long as we had hoped. Still, you could pick up one half inch of rain pretty quickly with up to an inch in the general rainfall.
Flash flood warnings continue for Cullman, Marshall, Madison, Morgan, DeKalb and Jackson Counties. A large part of North Alabama north of I-59 picked up 1-5 inches overnight with the heaviest rain over the northwestern quarter of the state.
