   ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PORTIONS
   OF THE SOUTHEAST...

   ...SUMMARY...
   Thunderstorms are expected from the Lower Mississippi Valley
   northeastward into the Mid-Atlantic, with a marginal risk for a few
   strong to possibly severe storms across a portion of the Southeast.
   A few thunderstorms might also occur over portions of the east Texas
   vicinity.

   ...Synopsis...
   Large-scale upper troughing is forecast to be maintain over the U.S.
   this period.  While weak short-wave energy over the Southeast shifts
   northeastward toward the mid-Atlantic region and a second trough
   exits the Plains and crosses the Midwest/Ohio Valley, the overall
   larger-scale troughing will be maintained as additional short-wave
   disturbances dig southward across the West.

   At the surface, low pressure is forecast to move quickly
   northeastward across the Appalachians, as a cold front shifts
   east/southeast across the mountains and the Southeast states -- and
   will be the primary feature associated with the main zone of
   convective interest this forecast.

   ...Parts of southeast Mississippi east to portions of western
   Georgia...
   Showers and sporadic/embedded thunderstorms will likely be ongoing
   at the start of the period, in conjunction with short-wave troughing
   crossing the central Gulf Coast region.  With the overnight
   convection expected to further dilute the already meager inland
   instability, severe risk lingering into the start of the period
   should remain minimal/isolated -- and probably confined to portions
   of the Florida Panhandle.

   As the short-wave trough shifts northeastward toward the
   mid-Atlantic, weak mid-level height rises and some weakening of the
   low-level flow, suggests risk for stronger storms should remain
   minimal.  As the cold front shifts southeastward through the
   afternoon, a few attempts at frontal convective redevelopment may
   occur.  However, meager instability expected should hinder
   convective potential/severe risk.  As such, will maintain only
   marginal risk centered over the southern Alabama area.
