Latest Mesoscale Discussion from the SPC has parts of Alabama, Georgia, and South Carolina being considered of an upgrade to a possible high risk for the remainder of this afternoon and into the evening hours tonight, due to rich moisture-filled air and strong buoyancy extending into these areas. For the state of Alabama, it will likely be for east and southeastern parts of Central Alabama.
