Posted: Sunday was a gloomy, wet, and stormy day across central and south Alabama. Radar estimates suggest several inches of rain fell across much of our area through late Sunday evening. Plus, rain and storms continue Sunday night, especially near and east of I-65. That may lead to not only ponding on roads, but also localized flash flooding. Otherwise, the sky remains cloudy overnight with lows in the upper 50s.
