Central Alabama is getting some kidney beans on radar (12:00-12:15 pm Central Time) with occasional weak rotation. I had been watching the dry slot in Mississippi, which still may go in spite of warm mid-levels. However, Alabama also has stiff low level winds, esp right off the ground. Bama has lower CAPE but skies are trying to break up a bit just east of the line. Looks like some low 80s temps have made it into east-central Alabama.

Latest GFS runs wicked track for a strong cane at the end of the run, smacks the lesser's then right sides PR then runs up the entire length of the Bahamas before slamming into the Treasure Coast area of Florida.....then it tracks inland up Florida into GA with flooding rains.....never fear though we are talking 200+ to the Lesser's and 300+ for the US hit so its just fantasy at this point.
