Stormy Afternoon: 5/29/10
May 29th, 2010 | 
Author: Numerous storms are already underway this morning and will continue into the afternoon. Some heavy rainfall has already occurred this morning across portions of southern Talladega County. Here are the latest 1 hour totals as of 11am.
We expect more of this throughout the afternoon and evening as SPC has upgraded portions of our area to a slight risk. We will update this single posting through the afternoon as conditions warrant. We may also trek out in the field locally for a little footage if any flooding or severe storm warrants.
12:45 Update
SPC has pulled the trigger on the watch box. The watch runs from Aliceville to Clanton to Valley and will go into effect until 7pm. Some severe storms are already in progress across Montgomery and Pike counties. More warnings are expected into the afternoon hours.
1pm Update
Nice storm down around Auburn where a severe thunderstorm warning has been issued for Lee and Chambers Counties. This storm shows 1″ hail potential and alot of lightning as our lightning tracker count is pretty high within the last 15 minutes on this cell.
2:15PM Update
Flooding is now becoming a big issue across portions of the state. Radar estimates 6-9″ in some locations…..and is likely over done….but the 4″ totals are quite realistic and could be causing some flash flooding issues in a very short period of time. Lee, Calhoun, and Cleburne counties are experiencing these right now as flood warnings have been required this hour.
