A line of storms with an associated tornado watch is moving through southern Alabama and part of the Florida Panhandle this morning. There will be a damaging wind and isolated tornado risk as this line moves east through the morning. Once this line passes and daytime heating begins more storms will begin to form behind it from the Florida Panhandle up through Alabama and Tennessee. It is these storms that pose the greatest severe risk with the threat lasting through the afternoon and possibly after nightfall. Individual storms that form in clear air will have the greatest chance of becoming severe. The SPC has focused on an area in the Panhandle and across the FL/AL and FL/GA borders as having the greatest risk but they have a quite large slight risk region (yellow) surrounding this. Tornadoes, damaging winds, and hail are all possible. Later this evening a cold front will sweep all of this out of here. Again, don't take the simulated radar as an exact forecast, but you can see the storm development that occurs after the line passes this morning.
The severe weather threat for Friday that I mentioned yesterday looks like it will stay to our west now. Any severe threat for Saturday looks to be minimal at this time. Stay safe and have a good day.
