8:15PM Check On Our Weather Situation
As we have reached dusk across Central Alabama, shower and storm activity is starting to dissipate quickly. We still have one hefty thunderstorm out there over parts of Tuscaloosa, Pickens, Greene, and Hale counties, that is producing torrential rainfall and dangerous cloud-to-ground lightning. Wind gusts up to 40 MPH and pea size hail could be possible as well with this storm. This is the strongest storm on the radar at this point, and it’s moving to the west at 20 MPH.
A Flash Flood Warning continues in effect for much of Cullman County until 9:30 PM, but the good news is that nearly all of the shower activity has moved out of the county and dissipated somewhat.
There are other showers and storms out there, but none are strong at this point. If you see lightning and/or hear thunder with any of these storms, please use common sense and seek shelter. Apparently, two people in Alabama have been struck by lightning today. No word as of yet on the extent of their injuries.
