SHOWERS TO CONTINUE OVER NEXT FEW HOURS… Lightning output continues to decrease with the showers and thunderstorms currently moving eastward across Alabama. At the moment, heavy rain is falling in the band of showers near Camden, Pine Hill, Thomasville, Grove Hill, Jackson, Wagerville, and Fruitdale. This line of showers and thunderstorms will continue to move east and likely continue to weaken. Rain will end by daybreak or shortly thereafter across the region. The overall severe weather risk is now very, very low.
My next update will be posted by 7:15AM. Have a good morning!

THUNDERSTORMS NEAR MILLRY & THOMASVILLE… Heavy rain and a few embedded thunderstorms continue to push eastward across Clarke and Washington counties in west Alabama. Lightning and thunder continue intermittently in some of the stronger storms that are happening. It’s important to note that despite the “loud and proud” nature of some of these storms, there are currently NO warnings in effect.
SEVERE WEATHEE RISK VERY LOW… The risk of any given spot having any severe weather issues across our local area is now very low. The tornado risk is not zero, but it’s very close to zero.
I’ll keep monitoring radar trends over the next little bit. Storms will likely continue to weaken in the next few hours!

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.

Latest convective outlook (7:20PM update) from SPC suggests that a few more strong to severe storms may be possibly primarily over central Alabama in the next few hours. No doubt that the overall risk is now starting to be lower though. Good news! pic.twitter.com/jXmSHdA5AY
