I'm meteorologist, Elizabeth Gardner. We're looking at a level one risk for severe storms for the rest of the day today. Closer to lunchtime, we may see a wave that comes through that could bring us a few showers or thunderstorms. Our severe weather threat at this point would be fairly low potential for some wind damage, possibly. Um, and of course, that's down from a level two and of course, our weather alert day for today has been canceled. There is still some ongoing severe weather across parts of the deep south of Georgia, Mississippi, Alabama. You can see there in red. Those are tornado watches and, uh, some severe thunderstorm warnings there in yellow that continue to crop up, but all of that looks to stay to our south and west. It doesn't look like we'll see much of a risk for severe storms for the rest of the day, but it is likely to be breezy. We'll see winds out of the southwest gusting 25 to 30 MPH. And as we roll through future cast, you can see closer to lunchtime, a quick shower, maybe an isolated thunderstorm that should be out of here. By early afternoon, maybe a few breaks in the clouds, but we may not see a whole lot of sunshine still for the most part, if you're headed to the games game tonight, hopefully that's going to be a good one. only a tiny chance of a shower at that point game time, temperatures will be around 80 degrees and it does look like tailgating would be fine for the most part future cast. As we get through the day tomorrow, we'll see an increasing chance for showers and thunderstorms, especially mid to late afternoon. That's when the cold front comes through. That cold front's been producing a lot of severe weather. It looks like our chances for storms may be a little better tomorrow than today. And there is a lot, one risk in our southern counties for tomorrow. Mid eighties this afternoon. Definitely a toasty and sticky day. We're sitting steamy right now, but over the weekend, we're going to see that dropping off to much lower. So we get rid of the humidity. We'll see much more pleasant temperatures highs in the seventies, Saturday and Sunday. It looks like an absolutely gorgeous Mother's Day weekend. And again, our chance for rain tapering off through the rest of the day today, but a chance of scattered storms in the afternoon and evening for tomorrow.
