BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (WBRC) - A frontal boundary pushed rain across our area this morning and into the early afternoon. Fortunately, this system is moving through before temperatures have a chance to climb too high, or we’d likely be dealing with a more active round of storms. As it stands now, we’re expecting scattered showers to continue through the afternoon, with a few isolated thunderstorms developing later on.
