AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BIRMINGHAM AL
948 AM CST SUN MAR 27 2005

.UPDATE...

THE MAIN REASON FOR THE UPDATE IS FOR TORNADO WATCH 97 FOR THE
SOUTHEAST COUNTIES.

AT 15Z MSAS ANALYZED THE SURFACE LOW AROUND TUSCALOOSA.  THE COLD
FRONT EXTENDED WESTWARD AND IT WAS EAST OF MERIDIAN AND WEST
OF MOBILE.  THIS FRONT WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE EASTWARD TODAY.

THE WARM FRONT IS SOMEWHERE AROUND CALERA TO NORTH OF ALEX CITY.
THIS PUTS THE SOUTHEAST FORECAST AREA IN THE DANGEROUS WARM
SECTOR.  STORMS ARE BEGINNING TO FIRE IN THE WARM AREA AND EXPECT
THIS TREND TO CONTINUE THROUGH THE MORNING HOURS.

THE BEST GUESS WOULD BE FOR THE WARM SECTOR TO LIFT NORTHWARD
AS THE COLD FRONT PUSHES EASTWARD.  THIS WILL MOVE THE SEVERE
THREAT NORTH THROUGH THE DAY.
