The episode as NWS HUN wrote it up.
Scattered to numerous thunderstorms developed during the afternoon and lingered into the evening hours before dissipating rapidly by around sunset. Intense short term rainfall occurred with a few of the storms. A storm in Colbert County produced 2 to 4 inches of rain in an hour or less producing flash flooding in Tuscumbia and Sheffield.
