valid 271200z - 281200z
...no severe thunderstorm areas forecast...
...summary...
general thunderstorms are likely over parts of the southeast on
friday. severe thunderstorms are not currently forecast.
...synopsis...
a shortwave trough will move from the southern plains toward the
northern gulf of america on friday, with cooling aloft overspreading
much of the southeast. at the surface, a prominent ridge will extend
from the mid atlantic across the tn and into the lower ms valley,
with a cold front roughly from sc into la.
near this front, rain and a few thunderstorms are likely to be
ongoing from southern la/ms/al/ga into northern fl friday morning.
while clouds and precipitation may hamper heating, at least a few
hundred j/kg mlcape appears likely given lower 60s f dewpoints and a
plume of low-level theta-e extending out of the northern gulf and
across the fl panhandle/southern al/southern ga.
given questionable destabilization and relatively weak boundary
layer winds, potential for isolated strong/severe storms are not
currently depicted.
