Heavy Rain and Gusty Winds at Times Tonight
Some more intense showers and storms are moving from Tuscaloosa towards Birmingham. Gusty winds are the main threat with this line of convection. We are seeing some heavy rain accompany this line of convection as well.
As this line passed through Tuscaloosa, winds increased to the upper 20s with higher gusts. Highest gust recorded at the Tuscaloosa Airport was 37 mph. This thin line is heading towards the east and will be impacting the Birmingham Metro within the hour, then will be heading out Intestate 20 corridor towards Anniston.
We have even seen a few reports of ice pellets or graupel mixing in with some of the heavier downpours. Once again, no storms are severe and we are not expecting severe weather overnight. Just some gusty winds and a heavy, soaking rain.
