The storms over eastern Jefferson County are intensifying right now, with tops of the thunderstorms over 50,000 feet.

Heavy rain is falling from near the Airport to Irondale and Grants Mill Road down to Highway 119.

There is a tremendous amount of precipitation currently being held aloft over northeastern Jefferson County which could produce strong downburst winds when the storms collapse. Lots of torrential rain and lightning as well.

An areal flood advisory was issued for parts of St. Clair County, where rainfall has been heavy.

Other strong storms are over northern Walker, Blount and Cleburne Counties.

Be alert if you are driving in thunderstorm areas and be inside when lightning is happening near you.
