yeah - i think we have the chance for borderline historic flooding when the main line gets here. the grounds here are very saturated - gonna be a lot of trees/lines down tonight

Northeast AL may end up in a similar situation as what is over Bham lifts their way, then the line moves through. They just had extensive Flash Flood Warnings expire, but may end up with more within the hour.

The one good thing is instability is going to be very limited over Birmingham tonight because of all the rain today and eventual lack of daytime heating. Surface based convection already appears to be shut down, the sounding from Birmingham tonight should confirm. That doesn't help with the frontal based rain though. That's not going to get cleared out until the line moves through.
The pine belt in southern Mississippi looks primed to take a punch as the line progresses. Current obs show party cloudy skies with temps getting into the 80s and juicy 70+ dews. Shear isn't rocking that hard, but will have stronger winds from aloft to pull down the farther north toward I20 you go.
Northshore too has this high CAPE brewing, but a little cloudier and farther from the upper disturbance should make the severe impacts a little less widespread I'd think.

The line does not seem as bad as it moves through west Alabama, particularly the northern part of the line.
