Here’s a 72 Hour Rainfall accumulation from 7am Friday morning through 7am this morning.  3 to 5 inches fell on average in many places, with the highest total on our scope in Chilton County at over 7 inches.

Good morning! Rainfall since Thursday night has been relentless. For instance, as of 3AM : Montgomery (MGM) has had 4.00.  East Montgomery 5.19”.  (1.44” since Midnight). You may have had more at your house. A Flood Advisory continues.  Guess what?  Rain and thunderstorms are likely today an there may even be some leftover showers and storms on Tuesday. Dry weather returns, finally Wednesday. It will turn hotter.  We’ll be 90 or above on Thursday and Friday.   Here’s my brief video forecast discussion.

TODAY:  Flood Watch in effect.  Flood Advisory until 8AM.   Expect periods of showers and storms today and tonight.  A few stronger storms are possible.    High near 80.  South wind 5 to 10 mph. Low tonight 60.   

Hang on.  We’re wet at times through Tuesday, but there are drier days soon.

Once again, SPC is highlighting a Level 1, Marginal Severe Risk for the eastern counties of Alabama.
