AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BIRMINGHAM AL
1205 PM CDT SUN AUG 7 2005

.UPDATE...
JUST FINISHED UPDATING THE ZONES AND GRIDS TO DO SOME MINOR
ADJUSTMENTS...MOSTLY DO DROP THE MORNING WORDING AND TO ADJUST
TEMPS. CLOUDS WILL PROBABLY KEEP TEMPS DOWN A FEW DEGREES THAN
PREVIOUSLY THOUGHT. SHOWERS AND A FEW THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE
TO DEVELOP AND INCREASE IN COVERAGE DURING THE AFTERNOON. I THINK
THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY WILL BE MINOR OVER EAST OF INTERSTATE 65 DUE TO
A MORE STABLE AIRMASS OVER THE AREA.

ONE THING TO NOTE IS THAT THE DRY AND COLD AIRMASS ALOFT HAS MOVED
OUT OF ALABAMA THEREFORE DECREASING OUR CHANCES FOR STRONG
THUNDERSTORMS. OUR EXTREME NORTHWEST ZONES...MARION...LAMAR...
FAYETTE...AND WINSTON COUNTIES...WILL PROBABLY RECEIVE MORE
THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY THAN THE REST OF THE FORECAST AREA THOUGH DUE
TO THE FACT THAT THE CLOUD COVER DOES NOT SEEM TO BE AS DENSE.
HENCE...TEMPERATURES WILL RISE AND CREATE SOME INSTABILITY.

THAT IS ALL FOR NOW. MAIN AFTERNOON DISCUSSION WILL BE OUT LATER.

.BMX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
