Interesting Morning Radar

We note the developing thunderstorms over West-Central Alabama, and showers over the northern third of the state as well. Look for showers and storms to slowly increase as the day rolls along.

Also, note the two rings… one near Gee’s Bend and the Alabama River in Wilcox County, and another one on the Sumter/Pickens County line near the Tombigbee River. Those are “bird roost rings”… at night, birds rest/nest in and around the lakes. Just before sunrise, there is often a coordinated lift off and dispersion of the birds out into the surrounding fields for feeding during the day.
