Some Rainfall Numbers So Far
As I noted yesterday, Central Alabama has become drier as the year wears on after a somewhat wettish start in January. So the broad area of rain and showers coming as a result of a weak upper disturbance and an abundance of tropical moisture is a very welcome sight for most. Here’s a quick rundown on some rainfall observations through the morning hours.
Most of the rain going on around 10 am was in a band that stretched from Nashville through Huntsville, Birmingham, and Montgomery to the vicinity of Pensacola and Fort Walton on the Gulf Coast.
Some observed rainfall from this morning through about 9 am. These represent storm totals so far since rain began yesterday.
| Station | Rainfall |
| Helena | 0.44″ |
| Birmingham | 0.49″ |
| Calera | 0.31″ |
| Cullman | 0.45″ |
| Decatur | 0.55″ |
| Gadsden | 0.03″ |
| Meridian, MS | 0.38″ |
| Montgomery | 0.25″ |
| Mobile | 6.85″ |
| Tuscaloosa | 0.22″ |
| Haleyville | 0.91″ |
| Albertville | 0.16″ |
| Trussville (Skycam) | 0.59″ |
| Birmingham (Skycam) | 0.36″ |
| Trussville (Skycam) | 0.59″ |
| Tuscaloosa (Skycam) | 0.30″ |
| Jasper (Skycam) | 0.42″ |
| Fayette (Skycam) | 0.42″ |
Current radar trends suggest that the bulk of the rain has cleared the Alabama counties along the Mississippi-Alabama line. Individual showers and patches of rain were moving northward with a slow drift to the whole rain area slightly eastward. No rain yet in places like Auburn, Anniston, Dothan, and Mt. Cheaha.
