.DISCUSSION...

TEMPERATURES WARMING UP TO AROUND 80 AT 11 AM. CLOUD COVER HAS
SLOWED THE WARM UP FOR MANY AREAS AND SOME ADJUSTMENTS WERE MADE
TO THE HOURLIES. HIGHS WELL INTO THE 80S THIS AFTERNOON...MAYBE
AN ISOLATED 90 IN THE SOUTHWEST.

NOTHING ON RADAR THUS FAR BUT SOME HIGHER CLOUD TOPS IN GEORGIA
ARE PART OF AN OLD BOUNDARY THAT COULD HELP INITIATE SOME ISOLATED
TO SCATTERED SHOWERS IN SOUTHEAST ALABAMA LATER THIS AFTERNOON.
ADJUSTED POPS SLIGHTLY UPWARDS FOR THE SOUTHEAST COUNTIES. UPDATES
ARE OUT.
