Threat of Severe Storms Continue for the Extreme Southeastern Portions of Central Alabama

The latest Mesoscale Discussion from the SPC mentions that a threat of severe storms continue over the southeastern parts of Central Alabama for a little while longer. Here is the text from the HWO:

SUMMARY…
An isolated severe threat continues early this morning, including the potential for a tornado.

DISCUSSION…
Convection has weakened across western GA over the past couple of hours, as it has generally outpaced the low-level moisture return and moved into an increasingly more stable environment. Farther south, strong storms are ongoing across parts of the FL Panhandle into southeastern AL. A wind gust of 48 kt (55 mph) was recently reported at KPRN in south-central AL. VWPs from KEOX and KEVX ahead of the broken line show decent veering/strengthening of the wind profile with height through mid levels. With 250+ m2/s2 of effective SRH present across the warm sector, a tornado remains a possibility with any storm that can remain surface based. Strong/gusty outflow winds may also occur with the more linear convection in the western FL Panhandle and south-central AL. The overall severe threat will probably remain fairly isolated through the early morning hours, as the best large-scale forcing for ascent associated with an upper trough/low over the lower/mid MS Valley remains displaced to the north of the central Gulf Coast.
