Alabama at 10:15 am–Flash Flood Watch

Not a large number of showers and storms at this hour.

Way down in South Alabama there was a lone thunderstorm looking lonely all by itself near Greenville in Butler County.

Up in the NW corner of Alabama some action:

* NWS Huntsville posted a Significant Weather Alert for Lauderdale and Colbert County until 11 am. The reason was a line of strong thunderstorms six miles west of Tuscumbia moving east at 20. Small hail, frequent cloud-to-ground lightning and heavy downpours are featured. (Remember, “lightning is frighting.”) There could also be some localized flooding of roadways. These communities will be affected:

Sheffield
Muscle Shoals
Zip City
Spring Valley
LaGrange

Elsewhere, a few mostly light showers across North Central Alabama. Movement is toward the ESE.
