SOME OF THE THUNDERSTORMS COULD MIX THESE WINDS DOWN AND THEREFORE WILL KEEP THE SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS IN THE HWO FOR THIS EVENING.

THERE IS A NARROW LINE OF FAIRLY STRONG CONVECTION ACROSS WESTERN ALABAMA PUSHING EAST AROUND 45 KTS. AS THIS CONVECTION CONTINUES TO ADVANCE EASTWARD SOME WEAKENING IS EXPECTED. HOWEVER TAF SITES IN THE ATLANTA AREA...KATL...KRYY... KFTY...KPDK...WILL SEE MVFR CEILINGS AND VISIBILITIES MOVING IN WITH THE LINE OF CONVECTION AFTER 02Z.
