Still Watching the Radar

Heavy rain, frequent lightning, and gusty winds continue to impact area across Central Alabama this morning. We are watching a few areas carefully as there are still strong storms ongoing. One area we are keeping a close eye on is a line of storms across Tuscaloosa County. It is moving off to the northeast and will be heading into the Birmingham Metro over the next hour.

At this time, all storms remain below severe limits, but there is still a threat for severe weather the next few hours. Much of Central Alabama remains under a tornado watch until 3 AM. Until the front passes through, we are going to have to keep a close eye on these storms.

We will also be keeping watch on rainfall rates. Some reports of water standing on local roadways. If conditions do not improve, we could see some flood warnings needed later this morning. The storms will last a few more hours until a frontal boundary sweeps this activity out of the area.
