Morning in Alabama–7:30 Report

At 7:30 this morning a north/south line (or is it south/north) of moderate to heavy showers about 30 miles wide extended from about Huntsville to Birmingham to Montgomery and then southeastward to near Troy. Movement is eastward.

If you had seen this line between midnight and about 4 am, you would have headed to the storm cellar! (or is storm pit?) This is all that is left.

Bottom line, we did not get to finish morning drive (or is rush hour?) completely dry. But this is not too bad.

No rain at all over NW and West Central Alabama–places like Florence, Hamilton, Jasper. Even Lamar County where a Flash Flood Warning was in effect in the predawn hours, not enjoying a break.

That does not mean we will not get some more showers today. We will this afternoon but not very many.

Unfortunately, another surge of showers and thunderstorms Friday, fewer on Saturday, and few, if any Sunday and Monday.

Will post some 24 hour rain totals a bit later this morning. Overall, it is a pleasant day across droughtless Alabama!

I sure feel for all tha folks that had flood damage to property yesterday. It was a major flash-flood event.
