This is the radar data from the Hammond, LA (New Orleans) radar showing quite a bit of rain moving toward south Alabama and northwest Florida from the northern Gulf. This will spread over the region in the hours ahead.
Local radars (Mobile, Eglin AFB, Ft. Rucker) remain down. https://t.co/2of8ALuyXd

Deep, tropical moisture is moving into the region from the Gulf. We’re “flying blind,” to a degree, this evening, as all 3 local NEXRAD radars remain down.
Fortunately, we have high-res GOES satellite imagery like this (attached).
Rain will spread inland overnight. https://t.co/xBT45rRzXx

Showers continue to move north near Creola, Bay Minette, Atmore, Jay, Century, Flomaton, Dixonville, Laurel Hill, and Lockhart.
Not expecting widespread severe weather overnight.
This is the view from the Montgomery, AL radar as local radars remain OUT this evening. https://t.co/EjEpclKgQO

Still using radar from Montgomery – so this isn’t a good low-level sample. Rain is more intense than what you see here.
Rain & storms are moving north in Pensacola, Gulf Breeze, Beulah, Loxley, Gateswood, Spanish Fort, and Seminole. https://t.co/8LHapoHu1o

Heavier showers and storms are moving into Pensacola and Gulf Breeze from the south. Doesn’t look like much on this radar vantage point – all the way from Montgomery as the radars locally remain down. https://t.co/sl9nCOu3Fi

Using the Montgomery, AL and Jackson, MS radars to analyze rain & storms as all 3 local radars remain down. I’m told technicians are working on the problem.
Rain continues near Mobile, Semmes, Millry, Chatom, Oaky Streak, Greenville, Troy, Bon Secour, and Bayou La Batre this https://t.co/OQXx5HKvgC
