Last Report of the Night

The leftover line of showers this morning continues to plod steadily eastward after mostly behaving overnight.

It extends from near Rome, Georgia to Anniston to Rockford to west of Montgomery and Greenville to near Mobile.

The sold rain and some thunder represented the front end of an about 125 mile wide area of showers. The back edge is now out of Lamar, Marion, Franklin, Colbert and Lauderdale Counties.

The only lightning I can find is in northern Elmore and Coosa Counties, around the Rockford area.

There are no severe thunderstorm warnings anywhere in the country. The last one was for a storm over northwestern Georgia north of Rome. There was a storm that prompted a severe thunderstorm warning from Huntsville for Cullman, Marshall and Jackson Counties just after 1:30, but only a couple of reports of trees being knocked down have been received from Marshall, Limestone and Colbert Counties. There were a few reports of tree damage around Moore County, Tennessee near Lynchburg.

Only three reports of tornadoes from the past 24 hours. On a day that had a large moderate risk area, we will take that!

The cold front is now well east of I-59. It’s down to 49F at Muscle Shoals, and 57F at Birmingham. It’s 73F in Montgomery.

The rain should be east of Birmingham by 9 a.m. It will continue to diminish through the afternoon over eastern Alabama, but may take until 3 p.m. to completely clear eastern sections.

We should see some clearing from the west as much drier air moves in behind the front. Highs will struggle to reach the lower 60s, with upper 50s common in western sections.

Lows tonight will drop into the upper 30s over western sections, with readings near 40F elsewhere.

Saturday will be sunny and cool, with highs in the 60s. 70s should return on Sunday.

James will be along with the full discussion and video shortly.
