Heavy thunderstorms continue pushing eastward across the area early this morning.

The strongest storms extend along I-59 from Gadsden to Trussville, then bowing out to the east across eastern St. Clair entering Talladega County. This bowing segment has the highest chance to produce damaging wind gusts. No reports of serious damage were received from the greater Birmingham Metro from these storms, but they are capable of producing winds of 45 mph which can break tree limbs and do minor damage.

The storms extend from the bow back through Shelby County to near Montevallo into Chilton County near Jemison. They extend southwest from there.

Other strong storms extend from western Bibb County across much of Hale County.

A large area of light to moderate rain extends behind the main thunderstorm activity.

This morning’s thunderstorm activity has outrun its upper level support and should slowly weaken. The front is still well back to the west, extending from Little Rock to Shreveport. More storms will form this afternoon ahead of the front, but it will be over southeastern parts of the area, along and south of I-85.
