SUMMARY…A broken line of storms continues moving southeastward across central Alabama/Georgia. Strong wind gusts are the main threat although hail is possible.
DISCUSSION…An upper-level shortwave trough is providing ascent aloft helping to sustain a line of storms across central Alabama/Georgia. Convective temperatures are being breached and outflow along the leading edge of storms is helping to develop storms as the line moves southeastward. This QLCS should continue southeastward as it moves through a moderate buoyancy/weak shear environment (MLCAPE of 2000-2500 J/kg; effective bulk shear 20-25 knots per mesoanalysis). Mesoanalysis and RAP soundings show steeper low-level lapse rates (7+ C/km) and DCAPE > 1000 J/kg along/ahead of the QLCS indicating the potential for strong wind gusts and possibly severe wind. The QLCS should continue into the evening with some weakening after sunset. A watch issuance is unlikely given the anticipated isolated severe threat.
