Storms Forming

Thunderstorms are starting to form across North and Central Alabama this afternoon, thanks to a very warm and moist atmosphere and a weak eastern wedge over the eastern part of the state.

Some of the most formidable storms early on are over St. Clair County just east of Birmingham.

Storms that do form this afternoon will feature torrential rains and lots of lightning.  There will also be a chance of strong gusty winds.  Be alert as storms form or move into your area and go inside until they pass.

It was up to 95F at the Birmingham Airport. The mercury at Tuscaloosa had fallen back to 88F, thanks to nearby showers.
