Discussion...
Outflow boundary moving from northeast to southwest across the
eastern half of central Alabama helped continue some showers and
thunderstorms. Since about 6 PM...the coverage and intensity of
the storms have been decreasing. No more heavy rain is expected
in the areas that experienced the flooding earlier in the
weekend...and the Flash Flood Watch was allowed to expire at 7 PM.
There's 3 or 4 active cells remaining...all near the US-280
corridor. Expect that the decreasing trend will continue through
the midnight hour. After that time...conditions will be mostly
cloudy and perhaps foggy here and there...but the rain should be
done. Will have updated forecasts out soon.

06z taf discussion.
Mainly VFR conditions expected through 09z before low ceilings may
begin to form. Confidence is low in such development but ceilings and
visible dipping to IFR levels are possible as weak and moist southerly
flow continues. Improving conditions are expected during the
daylight hours Monday but there is some potential for ceilings to
linger longer than indicated.
