THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR SOUTHEAST ALABAMA...
SOUTHWEST AND SOUTH CENTRAL GEORGIA...AND THE FLORIDA BIG BEND
AND PANHANDLE...AND ADJACENT COASTAL WATERS.

...THEE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS INTO TONIGHT...
MAINLY FOR THE FLORIDA BIG BEND AND ADJACENT GA COUNTIES...

...A FLOOD WATCH CONTINUES FOR THE ENTIRE FORECAST AREA...

.DAY ONE...TODAY AND TONIGHT...
THE HEAVY RAIN AND THUNDERSTORM THREAT WILL CONTINUE THIS MORNING AS
AN UPPER DISTURBANCE EXITS EAST...TAPER OFF THIS AFTERNOON FROM WEST
TO EAST AND INCREASE AGAIN TONIGHT AS YET ANOTHER DISTURBANCE MOVES
EAST ACROSS THE REGION. THE BEST CHANCE FOR STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS
AND HEAVY RAIN WILL BE ACROSS NORTH FLORIDA AND THE ADJACENT WATERS.
STORMS ARE CAPABLE OF PRODUCING HAIL AND DAMAGING WINDS AND A
TORNADO CAN NOT BE RULED OUT. ALTHOUGH RAIN TOTALS SO FAR HAVE
BEEN NEGLIGIBLE...ADDITIONAL BOUTS OF HEAVY RAIN THROUGH FRIDAY
CAN PRODUCE SOME FLOODING SO THE FLOOD WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY...
A COLD FRONT WILL MOVE EAST ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA ON FRIDAY
AND COMBINE WITH AN UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE TO GENERATE SHOWERS
AND THUNDERSTORMS. THEY WILL DECREASE FROM WEST TO EAST AND WE
CANNOT DISCOUNT ANOTHER BOUT OF STRONG TO POSSIBLY SEVERE STORMS.
THIS COULD GENERATE LOCAL HEAVY RAINS AND CAUSE RIVERS TO RISE
INTO THE UPCOMING WEEKEND OR NEXT WEEK. DRIER AND COOLER
CONDITIONS ARE ON TAP FOR THE UPCOMING WEEKEND AND EARLY PORTION
OF NEXT WEEK. DESPITE THE COOLER CONDITIONS...WE ARE NOT EXPECTING
ANY SUB-FREEZING TEMPERATURES AT THIS TIME.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...
SPOTTER ACTIVATION MAY BE NEEDED TODAY AND TONIGHT. PLEASE
MONITOR FOR WATCHES OR WARNINGS.
