Isolated Severe Storms Possible in the South Tuesday (FORECAST)

December 6,2016
Strong to severe thunderstorms may rumble through parts of the Southeast during the first half of Tuesday.
Warm, unstable air will not be abundant for a widespread threat of severe storms, so we do not expect an outbreak. But, we could still see some damaging wind gusts and possibly a tornado on Tuesday. The thunderstorms are developing ahead of a surface low-pressure system that is tracking northeastward through the South to start this week.
