At 7:30am, a large rain mass continues to fall across much of Alabama and Mississippi. Rain cooled air will keep the northern half of Alabama stable today. The greatest chance of a severe storm will be south of Moundville and Centreville. The risk is not zero but much lower to the north. An isolated tornado or damaging wind gust will be possible between 2pm and midnight. Again, the better chance will be across southern Alabama where the air will be more unstable.
