Th northern edge of the rain made it all the way to far southern portions of central Alabama.

We do not expect any severe weather here, but a substantial threat of severe storms exists west of Alabama across Mississippi, western Tennessee, Arkansas and Louisiana.Scattered showers continue through mid morning or so Sunday behind the cold front.Expect a high Sunday in the upper 60s to lower 70s with some afternoon sun and a gusty 10 to 20 mile per hour breeze. WARMER START, STORMS LATE NEXT WEEKThe historic peak of tornado season in Alabama occurs in mid-to-late April. According to the National Weather Service in Birmingham, the official tornado count this year is now 52 for the whole state. That's roughly a normal year's worth of tornadoes in just the first four months of the year.Next week starts with no weather worries, but the weather pattern starts to make a shift to a stormy look by the end of the week and next weekend.Monday and Tuesday look a little cooler than average: highs in the 60s and 70s, lows in the 40s.We warm up significantly on Wednesday and Thursday ahead of a storm system that could bring a threat of severe weather to Alabama and nearby states Friday into Saturday. There is much to be learned about next week's weather changes, so for now, just be aware that some more rough weather may be out there in the next 7-10 days. It is, after all, "that time of year."
