The severe threat is really winding down this evening as convective inhibition begins to take over on the coastal areas where some convection is still present.  Only one tornado warning is currently in effect on the coastal South Carolina counties of Beaufort and Jasper.  The atmosphere is beginning to decouple as the air at the surface is cooler than aloft where warm air advection is still present.  Expect some heavy rainfall along the coast this evening before the surface cold front finally moves off the coast later tonight into the early morning hours tomorrow. 

As this severe threat passes….the pattern well remain pretty benign through the weekend.  Cooler than normal conditions will be in place across the southland with some threat of a frost by early Saturday morning.  Temperatures across the great state of Alabama will be in the 70′s with abundant sunshine.  The upper 80 degree heat will at least be out of the picture for the short term.  More rainfall is possibly by mid to late week as another decaying frontal system is progged to wash out over the area. 

Hope you enjoy the start to what looks to be a quiet TGIF and weekend!
