(12Z TAFS)
Issued at 646 AM CDT Sat May 18 2024

The ongoing numerous to widespread showers and thunderstorms, mainly concentrated southeast of I-65, will decrease in coverage throughout the day, but linger through much of the evening hours.
IFR to LIFR conditions will accompany the stronger storms along with strong gusty winds, heavy rainfall reducing visibilities, and frequent lightning. VFR to MVFR conditions are expected outside of the convection northwest of I-65. Patchy fog is expected to develop late tonight with widespread visibility ranging from 1 to 3 miles, but localized dense fog is possible across portions of south central Alabama and the western Florida Panhandle. /22
