'Unsettled' Weather To Continue In Alabama: Spann

BIRMINGHAM, AL — Thunderstorms Monday night and Tuesday morning in the Birmingham metro caused flooding, power outages and downed trees, prompting a flash flood watch issued by the National Weather Service in Birmingham.

The watch is in effect until 10 p.m. Tuesday.

Although the heavy storms are done, meteorologist James Spann said to expect more "unsettled" weather Tuesday and into Wednesday.

"A layer of deep moisture remains over Alabama this morning, and with a broad upper trough nearby, we expect occasional showers and thunderstorms to continue through midweek," Spann said. "There will be some good breaks in the rain and you might see the sun at times, but when showers and storms do form they will be very efficient rain producers in this kind of air mass."

Flooding became a problem in Hoover and Vestavia Hills Monday around 5 p.m., with remnants of the storms still evident Tuesday morning.

"For Friday, we expect a mix of sun and clouds with scattered to numerous showers and thunderstorms, especially during the afternoon and evening," Spann said. "Friday’s high will be in the upper 80s."
