Severe Weather Across Southeast Feb 27 - Mar 1
This is a direct cut and paste from Open Roads Radio (sister site to FRF)(link in my sig)
Guys there is a lot of stuff in here to sift though, however if you live in the Southeastern most parts of the US it may well be worth the read. Skywarn Network "chatter" here has been high for 24 hours already about this system and that's pretty unusual. Recomend plenty of radio batteries and other emergency supplies. Check with your local Skywarn and NWS nets and have a listen in on the ARES state nets.
I don't think this is going to be a good camping weekend.

HAIL...DAMAGING WINDS AND LOCALLY HEAVY RAIN. IT APPEARS THAT AREAS
NEAR AND NORTH OF INTERSTATE 20 WILL HAVE THE BEST ENVIRONMENT FOR
THE THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT...BUT AREAS SOUTH TO NEAR MONTGOMERY MAY
SEE AN INCREASED CHANCE DURING THE EVENING AND OVERNIGHT HOURS AS THE
FRONT SAGS SOUTHWARD. ANY SUPERCELLS THAT DEVELOP JUST AHEAD OF THE

HIGHWAY 80 WILL HAVE THE BEST ENVIRONMENT FOR THE THUNDERSTORM
DEVELOPMENT. AN INCREASED THREAT NORTHWARD WILL BE SOLELY
DEPENDANT ON THE POSITION OF THE COLD FRONT.
ON FRIDAY AND SATURDAY...THE SLOW MOVEMENT OF THE COLD FRONT AND THE
LIKELIHOOD THAT AREAS WILL BE IMPACTED BY MULTIPLE THUNDERSTORMS WILL
RESULT IN THE POTENTIAL FOR LOCALIZED FLOODING...ESPECIALLY ALONG AND
NORTH OF INTERSTATE 20.
BREEZY CONDITIONS ARE POSSIBLE BOTH AHEAD AND BEHIND THE COLD FRONT.
THESE CONDITIONS MAY MATERIALIZE FRIDAY...SATURDAY...AND SUNDAY. A
FEW WIND GUSTS OF 25 MPH ARE POSSIBLE.

...SIGNIFICANT SEVERE WEATHER EPISODE POSSIBLE ON SATURDAY AND
SATURDAY NIGHT ACROSS THE REGION...
THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR SOUTHEAST ALABAMA...
SOUTHWEST AND SOUTH CENTRAL GEORGIA...AND THE FLORIDA BIG BEND
AND PANHANDLE...AND ADJACENT COASTAL WATERS.
.DAY ONE...TODAY AND TONIGHT...
SOUTHEASTERLY WINDS WILL BRING IN WARMER TEMPERATURES AND AN
INCREASINGLY MOIST AIRMASS TODAY AS TEMPERATURES WARM INTO THE LOW

FOR STRONGER RIP CURRENTS ALONG THE FLORIDA PANHANDLE AND BIG BEND
BEACHES. AS A RESULT...THERE IS A MODERATE RISK FOR RIP CURRENTS
TODAY ALONG THESE BEACHES.
.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY...
A STRONG LATE WINTER STORM SYSTEM WILL BEGIN TO TAKE SHAPE ACROSS
THE SOUTHEAST ON FRIDAY AFTERNOON AS AN AREA OF LOW PRESSURE
DEVELOPS AT THE SURFACE ACROSS CENTRAL MISSISSIPPI. THIS SYSTEM
WILL INITIALLY REMAIN NEARLY STATIONARY ACROSS CENTRAL MISSISSIPPI
AND ALABAMA...BUT MOVE QUICKLY SOUTHWARD ON SATURDAY AFTERNOON AS
AN UNUSUALLY STRONG UPPER LEVEL LOW MOVES INTO THE LOWER
MISSISSIPPI RIVER VALLEY. INITIALLY...ISOLATED AND SCATTERED
STORMS WILL FORM WELL AHEAD OF THE COLD FRONT AND BE CAPABLE OF
PRODUCING LARGE HAIL AND ISOLATED TORNADOES SATURDAY AFTERNOON. BY
THE EVENING...A STRONG SQUALL LINE WILL MOVE INTO THE REGION RIGHT
ALONG THE COLD FRONT AND BRING THE POTENTIAL FOR DESTRUCTIVE
STRAIGHT LINE WINDS...HAIL AND TORNADOES.
WHILE THERE STILL REMAINS SOME UNCERTAINTY WITH REGARD TO THE
EVOLUTION OF THIS STORM SYSTEM...CONFIDENCE IS INCREASING THAT A
SIGNIFICANT SEVERE WEATHER EPISODE MAY OCCUR ON SATURDAY AFTERNOON
AND SATURDAY NIGHT ACROSS OUR REGION.
AS THIS COLD FRONT MOVES THROUGH THE REGION...A VERY COLD AIRMASS
WILL MOVE IN FROM THE NORTHWEST. A FEW MODELS SUGGEST THAT THE AIRMASS
MAY BRIEFLY BECOME COLD ENOUGH TO SUPPORT NON-ACCUMULATING FROZEN
PRECIPITATION SUNDAY MORNING...GENERALLY ALONG AND NORTH OF A LINE
FROM DOTHAN TO ALBANY.
