Heavy Rain and Storms Continue

It has been a very active weather day across Alabama. Little to no severe weather has occurred, but tremendous amounts of rain have been falling with the ongoing convection. Numerous reports of flash flooding in areas that have seen the rain. Birmingham set a daily rainfall record at over 3 inches for the day, and it is still falling at the airport. Flash flood warning remains in effect for Jefferson and Tuscaloosa Counties for a few more hours.

All this activity continues to slowly push to south and east. Heavy rain is still falling across the Birmingham Metro. The more intense storms currently are over Tallapoosa and Chambers Counties on the eastern side of the state. West and along Interstate 65, storms are causing frequent lightning, some small hail, gusty winds and torrential downpours from Calera, and Clanton west to Marion,Greensboro, Demopolis and Livingston.

Flash flooding is the main and serious concern for the rest of the evening. Not expecting severe weather, but flooding rain will continue to fall. Numerous roads have been reported as impassible across the state, and make sure you do not drive through a flooded roadway. TURN AROUND, DON’T DROWN.
