.SHORT TERM...

(This afternoon through Tuesday)
Issued at 246 PM EDT Mon May 27 2024

The main line of thunderstorms has moved out of the area, leaving a
boundary stretching from Heard County over through Bibb County. A
couple storms continue to move along this boundary, occasionally
spinning up as they ingests vorticity and MUCAPE of around 2000
J/Kg. This storm is likely to remain at or near severe levels
through the next few hours.

A few storms are possible north of the boundary this afternoon as
the larger mid level trough and sfc cold front pushed through. These
storms will be isolated in nature although a storm becoming strong
cannot be ruled out. Storms along and south of the boundary will be
more scattered in nature. These southern storms also have a greater
potential to become strong to even severe given the atmosphere has
not quite been worked over just yet.

With current cloud coverage, temperatures continue to
most models. CAMs overall struggled with this system, however the
HRRR seems to be doing the best of all of them.

The good news is that once this system moves through, conditions
clear and dry out. Winds will be light but noticeable tomorrow and
highs will reach back into the mid-80s.

slightly cooler temps for the middle to the end of the week. Temps
Wed through Fri will see highs mainly in the lower to middle 80s.
