A Short-Term Tornado Threat Over The Extreme Southeastern Parts Of Central Alabama

This is the text from the latest

SUMMARY…
A tornado threat continues across the southern half of the Tornado Watch area. At this time a new watch does not appear warranted downstream into Georgia, but one may be needed later this evening.

DISCUSSION…
Convective outflow boundary remains draped across southern GA, arcing into southeast AL over Crenshaw County. The leading-edge of long-lived MCS that tracked across central MS/AL has progressed to near the GA border where it is decidedly elevated as it progresses atop cool and stable boundary layer. However, the southern-most extent of this MCS trails to near the old outflow boundary over Crenshaw County, but this updraft will likely become elevated soon unless it turns markedly southeast along the wind shift. In the short term, the primary tornado threat with this activity will be along the southern flank of the MCS where the inflow region remains near-surface based.
