FLOOD WATCH CONTINUES THROUGH FRIDAY EVENING...
CURRENT RADAR LOOP SHOWS 3 DISTINCT LINES OF SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS MOVING INTO AND ACROSS THE AREA. CURRENTLY THERE ARE
NO SEVERE STORMS EMBEDDED IN THESE LINES BUT THE POTENTIAL IS STILL
THERE. INSTABILITIES ARE NOT THAT GREAT THIS MORNING BUT SHEAR
VALUES ARE STILL FAIRLY HIGH. THIS IS FAIRLY EVIDENT AS EVERY TIME
ONE OF THE STRONGER STORMS MOVES OVER AN OBSERVING SITE...WINDS
START BLOWING IN THE 10-15KT RANGE WITH GUST TO 22KT. MODELS
CONTINUE TO STAY IN GOOD AGREEMENT THROUGH THE SHORT TERM. AS THE
COLD FRONT APPROACHES THE TENNESSEE VALLEY TODAY...INSTABILITY WILL
INCREASE AGAIN ALONG WITH SHEAR AND WE WILL SEE ANOTHER ROUND OF
THUNDER WITH A CONTINUED RISK OF SEVERE STORMS. THIS RISK OF SEVERE
TODAY IS LESS THAN YESTERDAY BUT THE INGREDIENTS ARE STILL IN PLACE
FOR AND ISOLATED SEVERE STORM OR TWO. THE BEST PLACE FOR SEVERE
STORMS WILL BE MAINLY ACROSS NORTH GA TODAY AND FRIDAY. WITH THE
RAIN CONTINUING ACROSS THE STATE ANOTHER 1 TO 3 INCHES IS EXPECTED
TO FALL OVER ALREADY SATURATED SOILS. WITH GUSTY WINDS IT WILL NOT
TAKE MUCH TO KNOCK TREES OVER AND CAUSE SOME DAMAGE.

SOMEWHAT UNSTABLE AIR MASS WITH BEST POPS MAINLY NORTH. SURFACE
LOW MOVING NORTHEAST FROM THE WESTERN GULF INTO THE MS VALLEY
SHOULD PUSH THE FRONT INTO THE STATE BY TUESDAY. GFS AND ECMWF
HAVE SOME DIFFERENCES BY THIS TIME WITH THE GFS FASTER WITH THE
FROPA AND DRYING. ECMWF WANTS TO LAG THE FRONT AND DEVELOP ANOTHER
WAVE ON IT FOR TUESDAY INTO WEDNESDAY. HAVE KEPT POPS ACROSS THE
FORECAST AREA FOR WEDNESDAY BUT ONLY SLIGHT CHANCE NORTHWEST
