Radar Calming Down

If you had a chance to see the radar a couple of hours ago, it looked a little like the measles with lots of small showers and few large clusters of showers here and there. But just after 8:30 pm, showers are dying down and the radar looks clearer with just a couple of showers continuing in Central Alabama. Temperatures across Central Alabama were mainly in the middle 70s expected to bottom out in the upper 60s.

Such is not the case in the Central Plains states where Kansas, Nebraska, and parts of Texas and Oklahoma were experiencing a number of thunderstorms which had prompted warnings in those locations. Warnings in effect at 8:40 pm were primarily severe thunderstorm warnings and there had been 72 damaging wind reports along with 29 large hail reports and 11 tornado reports according to the Storm Prediction Center. One of the hail reports was of 2.5 inch hail 11 miles north of Alliance, NE, in Box Butte County. Much of the hail reported today was around one inch.
