Central Alabama Storms

Over North Alabama, drier air spread in this afternoon and pretty much eliminated any shower activity.

However, big-time downpours are occurring across Central Alabama early this evening. Some of the heaviest rain was over Greene County in West/Central Alabama. It is pouring rain over South Bibb County from Brent and Centreville southward and that very heavy rain is spreading down into Perry County. It is also pouring rain NE of the Montgomery area and that is approaching Montgomery. Movement is slowly toward the south. Good amounts of lightning are also in those storms, especially across Bibb County where numerous strikes were occurring in the vicinity of Centreville and Brent. No recent lightning strikes from Birmingham northward to the Tennessee Valley.

At 6:00 p.m., the dew point was as low as 63 at the NWS Forecast Office at UAH in Huntsville and 64 at Meridianville. That feels much better than the dew point in the 70s we have endured for so long.

Early this afternoon, a nearly stationary thunderstorm dumped 2.50 inches of rain in the Fultondale area in North Jefferson County.

Further south in Alabama, there were also a lot of showers over the SW part of the state and offshore.
