As of 8:43 am, the line of stronger to severe storms stretches from Gadsden to Sylacauga to Selma. Severe Thunderstorm Warnings are in effect for the portion of the line that is showing a bow stretching from Talladega down to Sylacauga and to Jemison. The rest of the line in Central Alabama has remained behaved at this point.

The rain has already come to an end for locations in the western half of the area along and north of the I-20/59 corridor and the remainder of the day should remain dry. We have a few more hours to watch this line of storms until it exits the area this afternoon.
