MONTGOMERY, Alabama — A large and widespread mass of rain is moving across the southern two thirds of Alabama this Wednesday evening, April 29, 2026, and for once the headline is not about danger it is about relief. The radar at 6:34 PM CDT shows heavy precipitation covering a massive footprint from Tuscaloosa and Birmingham in the north down through Montgomery, Mobile, and Dothan, with embedded thunderstorms within the broader rain mass. Severe storm risk is low and there are no active warnings anywhere in Alabama as of 6:35 PM. This is simply a parched state finally getting a drink.
