HOSPITAL FOR FURTHER TREATMENT AND WE’RE ALSO LEARNING MORE ABOUT SOME SCHOOL CLOSURES IN INDIANA TODAY. THEY WERE ORIGINALLY ON A TWO HOUR DELAY DUE TO THE WEATHER, BUT THAT HAS NOW BEEN CHANGED AS WE LOOK TOWARD ANOTHER IMPACT DAY HERE IN CENTRAL ALABAMA. METEOROLOGIST ADRIAN CASTELLANO IS IN THE STUDIO WITH ME RIGHT NOW. ADRIAN, WHAT CAN WE EXPECT THE REST OF TODAY? YEAH, RAIN CARLISLE OUT THERE THIS MORNING. WELL, WE’RE NOT EXPECTING ANY THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY, AT LEAST WIDESPREAD ACROSS CENTRAL ALABAMA LIKE WE HAD YESTERDAY, ESPECIALLY DURING THE EVENING HOURS. THERE CERTAINLY ARE SOME POCKETS OF HEAVIER RAIN AND A FEW THUNDERSTORMS OUT ON THE �������� 13 LIVE DOPPLER RIGHT NOW. IT’S JUST A GOOD OLD FASHIONED SOAKING HERE ACROSS THE BIRMINGHAM METRO, STRETCHING ACROSS 459 NOW TOWARD CHELSEA, VINCENT AND SHELBY COUNTIES. NO THUNDER, NO LIGHTNING AND ANY OF THIS ACTIVITY AND CERTAINLY NO SEVERE WEATHER. NOW, THERE ARE A FEW THUNDERSTORMS, SOME LIGHTNING STRIKES HERE, A LITTLE BIT OF THUNDER IN TUSCALOOSA COUNTY. THESE SMALL STORMS MOVING BACK TOWARD THE CITY OF TUSCALOOSA. SOME HEAVIER DOWNPOURS EMBEDDED IN THAT ACTIVITY. ALSO FARTHER UP TO THE NORTH IS MORE ISOLATED TO SCATTERED IN NATURE. BUT A FEW OF THOSE HEAVIER SHOWERS DEVELOPING NEAR HAMILTON, NEAR WINFIELD, THOSE ALSO PUSHING DOWN TO THE SOUTH AND EAST. WE CAN EXPECT MORE SCATTERED ACTIVITY AS WE MOVE THROUGH THE AFTERNOON HOURS AND MAYBE AN UPTICK IN RAIN CHANCES ONCE AGAIN LATER ON TONIGHT. WE’LL TAKE A LOOK AT THAT FORECAST HEADING INTO THE WEEKEND. COMING UP IN A FEW MINUTES, CARLA. ALL RIGHT. THANKS, ADRIENNE. WE ALSO HAVE SOME TRAFFIC DELAYS THAT WERE KEEPING YOU UP TO DATE ON AND TRUSSVILLE THE TRAFFIC LIGHTS AT CHALKVILLE MOUNTAIN ROAD AT I-59 ARE OUT THERE EXPECTING MAJOR DELAYS. ALL DAY LONG. WELL, THIS WEEK, STORMS HAVE REALLY PACKED A PUNCH EARLIER THIS WEEK, A MAN WAS KILLED BY LIGHTNING IN NORTH ALABAMA. AND LAST NIGHT, A PERSON IN SHELBY COUNTY WAS HIT. ACCORDING TO THE ROCKY RIDGE FIRE DEPARTMENT. THIS HAPPENED LAST NIGHT AT THE VERANDAS APARTMENT ON CHESTNUT RIDGE LANE. THEY SAY THE PERSON REPORTED INJURIES AFTER LIGHTNING HIT A BUILDING. AND CHECK THIS OUT. THIS IS SOME FOOTAGE OF SOME OF THE LIGHTNING THAT WE SAW OVERNIGHT IN TRUSSVILLE AS WELL. IT WAS A CONTINUOUS STRAND OF
