Morning Weather Update

Here is your morning update on the squall line/tornado outbreak at the moment. Despite what seemed like a pretty good chance that there would be a moderate risk for severe storms, the 7:00 AM Storm Prediction Center Convective Outlook still maintains a slight risk for Alabama, Georgia, far southern Mississippi, the Florida Panhandle, eastern parts of Kentucky, Tennessee, and Ohio, the Carolinas, Virginia, West Virginia, Maryland, Delaware, and southern Pennsylvania.

As you can see by the tornado threat indicator (sorry if it's hard to see very well), there is a 10% chance of a tornado in central and east-central Alabama, as well as far western Georgia, including the city of Atlanta.
As of right now, there have been 4 preliminary tornado reports across yesterday's moderate risk area, and a total of about 300 wind reports.

CURRENT SEVERE STORM ALERTS

Tornado Watches currently exist for much of the slight risk area for today.
Tornado Warnings for Marion, Bledsoe, and Sequatchie Counties in southeastern Tennessee
Tornado Warnings for Central Fulton, Douglas, Southwestern Cobb, and Southeastern Paulding Counties in Georgia. This includes the city of Atlanta.

If any more updates are made this morning, it will likely be between 10:00-11:00 AM CST.
