Alabama Quick Look at 2:20pm

In the heat and humidity that is covering Alabama like a wet blanket, scattered thunderstorms were developing over extreme north and NW this afternoon. The strongest storms were over NW Alabama over Colbert and Franklin Counties. Plenty of lightning with these and also heavy rain.

Because the storms are moving SE at a mere 5 mph, they have time to dump heavy rain on the communities in their path.

NWS/Huntsville posted a Significant Weather Advisory for those two counties. That is short of a severe thunderstorm warning.

Other storms were located near Decatur and north of Ft. Payne.

…..95 Huntsville, heat index 102.
