| Episode Narrative | An upper level closed low moved across Missouri during the day on March 23. Several shortwaves moving around the base of the trough, traversed across central Alabama. The shortwaves created enough lift to sustain a line of convection that moved through portions of central Alabama during the morning and afternoon hours. Heavy rainfall led to flooding in some areas, and there was one tornado that moved through Pike County. |
| Event Narrative | Several hours of heavy rainfall resulted in 2 to 4 inches of rain falling across the eastern portions of St. Clair County. This led to several roads being closed due to flash flooding. |
