.DISCUSSION...
A BUSY TIME FOR EASTERN PORTIONS OF THIS PART OF THE TENNESSEE
VALLEY TODAY. STRONG CONVECTION CONTINUES OVER OUR SE COUNTY WARNING
AREA WITH NEW TORNADO WATCH #210 IN EFFECT FOR CULLMAN...MARSHALL...
MORGAN...AND DEKALB COUNTIES UNTIL 9 PM CDT.

UNSEASONABLY WARM TEMPS AND MUGGY CONDITIONS CONTINUED ACROSS THE
TENN VALLEY...WITH 3 PM TEMPS NOW RANGING FROM A RAIN COOLED 70 AT
FT PAYNE...TO THE LOWER 90S ELSEWHERE. THE CONVECTIVE COMPLEX THAT
PASSED TO THE NORTH OF THIS REGION EARLIER TODAY HAS LEFT AN OUTFLOW
BOUNDARY PRESENT FROM NORTH OF TUPELO AROUND VINEMONT AND SOUTH OF
ROME GEORGIA. DESPITE THE WARM TEMPS AND MOSTLY SUNNY SKIES OUT
WEST...A LAYER OF SLIGHTLY WARMER TEMPS ALOFT HAS KEPT THIS AREA
FROM GOING CONVECTIVE THUS FAR. BUT FURTHER EAST NEAR STRONGER
CONVECTION AND FRESHER BOUNDARIES...STRONG TO SEVERE T-STORMS
CONTINUED FROM EAST OF VINEMONT TO THE ATLANTA AREA.

FOR THE SHORT TERM...A WNW FLOW ALOFT AND A GENERAL SOUTHWARD
MOVEMENT OF THE CONVERGENCE AXIS AND BOUNDARY SHOULD HELP SEVERE
CONVECTION MOVE SOUTH OF OUR AREA OVER NE ALABAMA BY THE EARLY
EVENING. THUS HAVE GONE WITH A SLIGHT CHANCE OF PRECIP FOR THE WEST

THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND...WHETHER CONVECTION WILL DEVELOP OVERNIGHT
AND MOVE EASTWARD TOWARD THE VALLEY. THIS WILL SET THE STAGE ON WHAT

MOVE ACROSS THE REGION DURING EARLY SAT...WITH A SLIGHT DRYING TREND
IN STORE FOR PART OF THE WEEKEND. AFTER A BREAK RAIN WISE LATE SAT
