.DISCUSSION...
Good Morning Alex...The forecast for Friday is at the current time
a lower confidence one.  Its currently just beyond the short range
models but what the trend is suggesting is a complex of storms moving
eastward out of AL early on Friday toward the state...but the trend and our thinking is
that the main area of storms will focus more along the Gulf coast
like we`ve seen in the past, putting our area in more of a broad
general rain shield.  But, that scenario is not a certainty and there
could be more storms around if that doesn`t happen.  We are expecting an upper level system to
approach the region Friday which will mostly likely trigger some type of inclement
weather, but there are still many other variables in play which raise
the uncertainty.  Winds don`t appear to be much of a problem at current
time unless there`s more thunderstorms around, i.e. out of the south 8mph gusting to 15mph.
We are currently running 70-80 pct  chances and model guidance is actually
slightly higher than that but we brought it down a tad due to those uncertainties.
