Rain Moving In… Tuesday Update 12:30pm

Good Tuesday afternoon! As of 12:30pm, we’re watching a large batch of rain and thunderstorms move into west Alabama from east and central Mississippi. Numerous flash flood warnings have been issued back in Mississippi with this complex, but most models agree and radar trends show the heavy batch of storms weakening as they move into Alabama this afternoon. Rain totals will generally range from 1/2 an inch to 2 inches across our state, with the higher totals along and west of HWY 43. Have the rain gear handy this afternoon and evening. It sure looks like a mess for the drive home from work and school…

Expect periods of rain to start this afternoon and continue for the rest of the afternoon and evening. Rain will become heavy at times in some areas, especially in west Alabama. As the upper air trough axis moves east of the area Wednesday morning, the best chance of rain will move east with it. Expect rain to decrease in coverage Wednesday morning, with a few peaks of sunshine late in the day.
