Hit-or-miss soakers will prowl the warm, sticky South

Most will not see them, but those who do may get a thorough dousing from thepop-up thunderstorms that will dot the South on Tuesday.Sticky warmth spread from the south Atlantic Seaboard to the lower and middleMississippi Valley will breed widely separated thunderstorms, mostly during theafternoons and early evenings.

Any such storm could shed a quick inch of rain within an hour or less--easilyenough to spoil an outdoor barbecue, a jog or a round of golf.

Atlanta, Birmingham, Memphis and Nashville will number among the cities proneto a cloudburst on little warning.

Much of the South will stay quite warm and sticky, and thus subject tohit-or-miss thunderstorms, again on Wednesday.
