RAIN & STORMS IN WEST ALABAMA… The front of the broken area of showers and thunderstorms is entering Monroe and Mobile counties as of 9:54PM from the west. As expected, these storms are well under severe limits. Lightning output has been near zero other than a few strikes observed in the last hour in Wayne County, Mississippi. There could be a brief stronger storm over the next few hours, but the better atmospheric dynamics are clearly lifting away to our northeast. This is good news as this will serve to limit severe storm formation.
Showers will keep moving eastward over the next few hours. I will keep monitoring radar trends and bring you the latest in the RedZone Weather app.
Showers are starting in Choctaw and Washington counties in west Alabama… Showers and a few thunderstorms happening near New Orleans and in southeast MS will move toward SW Alabama over next 2 hours. Very, very low-end risk of severe weather locally west of I-65 overnight. pic.twitter.com/sUnPXiLPlC
