The storm system that affected Alabama on Saturday and Sunday shattered rainfall records in the state.

The National Weather Service said several Alabama cities broke daily rainfall records for April 6.

The slow-moving storm system had plenty of time to deposit heavy rainfall from north Alabama to south Alabama, especially on Sunday, as well as severe storms and at least three tornadoes (that number could climb as more storm surveys are conducted.)

The rain caused flash flooding across the state.

Particularly hard-hit was the Mobile area, where residents were encouraged on Sunday to stay home while widespread flooding was ongoing.

Mobile got the most of the bigger cities, a whopping 6.51 inches, which decisively broke the record of 3.65 inches for April 6, which had stood since 1918.

Here is a look at other rainfall records from Sunday:

• Anniston: 2.93 inches, breaking the record of 2.47 inches from 1997.
• Birmingham: 3.05 inches, breaking the record of 2.47 inches from 2014.
• Montgomery: 3.56 inches, breaking the record of 3.26 inches from 1964. 
• Tuscaloosa: 3.33 inches, breaking the record of 2.71 inches from 2005.

Flood watches remained in effect today for the eastern part of Alabama, which the weather service said could get an additional 1 to 2 inches.

The Alabama counties in green remain under flood watches on Monday:

Drier weather is expected to return on Tuesday, and no more rain is expected in the state until Thursday night or Friday.
