Rain Pushing into Central Alabama at Late Morning

The persistent upper air disturbance located over the Lower Mississippi River Valley was producing another huge rain shield covering a large part of South Alabama as you can see in the radar image here.

The moderate to heavy rain was pushing steadily northward toward Central Alabama and promises to produce a wet afternoon for most of the area. The rain area stretched back into the Gulf of Mexico from Destin area westward to west of New Orleans. A number of flash flood warnings have been issued this morning for parishes in Southeast Louisiana.

Montgomery has picked up about a half an inch of rain this morning while Mobile has recorded another 2 inches this morning.

The rain is expected to continue moving northward spreading over Central Alabama during the noon hour and bringing rain to nearly everyone. Looks like a great afternoon to stay inside and curl up with a good book.

The rain and clouds were helping to keep temperatures down with temperatures just before 11 am running in the middle 70s – a nice byproduct of the clouds and rain which makes for a somewhat coolish June day.

Still looks like the upper air disturbance will remain in our vicinity for the next 24 to 36 hours promising a good soaking through Monday. Come Tuesday and Wednesday we should see some reduction in shower coverage and perhaps see drying by the latter part of the week.
