Discussion              

A strong cold front will move across the Deep South at mid-week and the result here will be showers and thunderstorms on Wednesday night and some of the storms can reach severe levels. Winds will become a big factor on Wednesday gusting past 40 mph ahead of the front and damaging wind gusts are possible with any thunderstorm late tomorrow or tomorrow night. Multiple jet streaks will be nearby later tomorrow enhancing the chance for those potential damaging wind gusts. Cooler air will follow the passage of the front for the latter days of the work week.
