TEMPERATURES WARMING UP TO AROUND 80 AT 11 AM. CLOUD COVER HAS

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.
