Probably just a banana spider: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trichonephila_clavipes

Here's one from 2006 in Central Florida: https://www.flickr.com/photos/bobisbob/299200141/in/datepost...

I remember seeing a large number of "yellow garden spiders" around Alabama during the 2007 timeframe. I guess they only get up to about an inch long, I remember that my teenage self thought they were much larger...
