AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BIRMINGHAM AL
630 AM CST SUN FEB 17 2008

.UPDATE...AVIATION DISCUSSION.

&&

.SHORT TERM...TODAY THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT.

A RATHER COMPLEX WEATHER EVENT UNFOLDING ACROSS THE DEEP SOUTH THIS
MORNING. A LINE OF THUNDERSTORMS CONTINUES TO SHIFT EASTWARD ACROSS
MISSISSIPPI. THE LINE IS ABOUT 3 HOURS AHEAD OF MODEL PREDICTIONS
...SO SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS SHOULD MOVE INTO WEST ALABAMA AROUND
6 AM. SURFACE FLOW IS VEERING TO A MORE SOUTHERLY DIRECTION ACROSS
CENTRAL ALABAMA...AND DEWPOINTS ARE RISING AS WELL. STILL EXPECTING
60+ DEWPOINTS FROM I-20 SOUTHWARD BY THE AFTERNOON. DIFFICULT PART
OF FORECAST IS DETERMINING EVOLUTION OF SQUALL LINE. WILL THE LINE
CURRENTLY MOVING ACROSS MISSISSIPPI BE THE PRIMARY SEVERE WEATHER
MAKER OR WILL ANOTHER LINE DEVELOP THIS AFTERNOON AHEAD OF COLD
FRONT. 00Z NAM MODEL WAS GOING WITH THE LATER SCENARIO...BUT 06Z NAM
NOT SHOWING MUCH DEVELOPMENT AT ALL ALONG COLD FRONT.

REGARDLESS OF HOW IT UNFOLDS...BEST CHANCE FOR SEVERE STORMS WILL BE
ACROSS SOUTHERN COUNTIES WHERE HIGHER LOW LEVEL MOISTURE WILL EXIST.
HELICITY AND EHI VALUES SUPPORT THE DEVELOPMENT OF TORNADOES SOUTH
OF LINE FROM DEMOPOLIS...TO CLANTON...TO WEDOWEE....GENERALLY
ANYTIME AFTER 12 NOON. SEVERE THREAT WILL LINGER ACROSS SOUTHEAST
COUNTIES THRU THE EARLY EVENING AS BOUNDARY BECOMES ORIENTED IN A
SOUTHWEST TO NORTHEAST DIRECTION. DISCRETE SUPERCELLS MAY ALSO
COME INTO PLAY ACROSS SOUTHERN COUNTIES AS LOW LEVEL MOISTURE
INCREASES AND SURFACE TEMPERATURES WARM INTO THE UPPER 60S TO LOWER
70S.

MODELS HAVE SLOWED DOWN ARRIVAL OF COLDER AIR TONIGHT..AND
TEMPERATURES RAISED CONSIDERABLY DURING THE EVENING HOURS. THERE
WILL BE SOME WRAP AROUND LOW CLOUDS...MAINLY ACROSS NORTH ALABAMA.
THERE MAY BE A FEW SHOWERS OR THUNDERSTORMS ALONG COLD FRONT...BUT
MOST OF THE CONVECTION WILL BE ACROSS THE TENNESSEE VALLEY REGION OF
ALABAMA AND EXTENDING NORTHWARD INTO TENNESSEE.

COLD AIR ADVECTION WILL CONTINUE MONDAY THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT. SOME
LOW CLOUDS MAY STILL BE AROUND IN THE MORNING...BUT PARTLY CLOUDY
SKIES WILL PREVAIL IN THE AFTERNOON.

GRADIENT WINDS ARE NEAR 50 KNOTS SEVERAL THOUSAND FEET OFF THE
SURFACE...AND A LAKE WIND ADVISORY WILL BE ISSUED FOR TODAY FOR ALL
COUNTIES. THE ADVISORY MAY BE UPGRADED IF HIGHER WINDS MIX DOWNWARD.

58/ROSE

.LONG TERM...TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY.

DRY WEATHER EXPECTED EARLY ON AS HIGH PRESSURE REMAINS IN PLACE. THIS
HIGH PRESSURE THOUGH IS EXPECTED TO QUICKLY EXIT THE AREA BY
WEDNESDAY. MOISTURE WILL QUICKLY RETURN ALONG WITH A MORE ACTIVE
UPPER LEVEL PATTERN BY THURSDAY AND CONTINUE THROUGH THE WEEKEND.
A FEW UPPER LEVEL SHORT WAVES AND POSSIBLY A TROF OR TWO WILL RIDE
ALONG THIS UPPER FLOW WHICH WILL HELP KEEP OUR RAIN CHANCES UP
THROUGH THE END OF THE FORECAST PERIOD.

LONG RANGE MODELS CONTINUE TO SLIGHTLY CHANGE WITH THE INTENSITY
OF EACH SYSTEM. BOTH GFS AND ECMWF KEEP THE AREA UNSTABLE FROM
THURSDAY THROUGH THE WEEKEND. THE GFS BY FAR CONTINUES TO SHOW A
MUCH STRONGER SYSTEM FOR FRIDAY. THE ECMWF ALSO SUPPORTS THIS
SOLUTION ALTHOUGH DYNAMICS ARE NOT NEARLY AS STRONG. ONE THING TO
NOTE IS THAT THE GFS IS SHOWING SOME VERY IMPRESSIVE CAPE VALUES
FOR THIS TIME OF THE YEAR. FOR THE LOWER HALF OF CENTRAL
ALABAMA...CAPE VALUES RANGE FROM 1500 TO 2000 WITH LIS IN THE -2
TO -4 RANGE. SOMETHING TO KEEP AN EYE OUT FOR NOW.

AFTER A COOL START...TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED TO BOUNCE BACK TO
WELL ABOVE NORMAL WITH NO SIGNIFICANT COOL DOWN IN SIGHT.

10/ARM

&&

.AVIATION...12Z TAF DISCUSSION.

LOW CLOUDS WITH BASES AROUND 1500 FEET HAVE SPREAD ACROSS ALL OF
CENTRAL ALABAMA AT START OF TAF PERIOD. A LARGE AREA OF RAIN WITH
EMBEDDED THUNDERSTORMS HAS MOVED INTO WEST ALABAMA AND WILL REACH
KTCL BY 14Z...AND KEET/KBHM/KMGM BY 16Z. VSBYS WILL LIKELY REMAIN
ABOVE 3 MILES WITH THIS FIRST WAVE OF RAIN. STRONGER STORMS WILL
REMAIN OUTSIDE OF TAF SITES THRU 18Z. ADDITIONAL STORMS SHOULD
DEVELOP THIS AFTERNOON AS INSTABILITY INCREASES. IT IS DIFFICULT TO
DETERMINE WHERE LINE REDEVELOPMENT WILL OCCUR...BUT MOST LIKELY
JUST EAST OF CURRENT RAIN SHIELD.

CLOUDS BASES WILL LIKELY RISE THIS MORNING TO AROUND 3500 FEET BY
18Z. A COLD FRONT WILL ENTER WEST ALABAMA AROUND 02Z AND MOVE SLOWLY
ACROSS THE STATE. THERE SHOULD BE A BREAK IN THE CLOUDS IN DRY SLOT
AHEAD OF SURFACE FRONT...BUT POST-FRONTAL CLOUDS WITH BASES AROUND
3500 FEET WILL SPREAD SOUTHWARD INTO CENTRAL ALABAMA AFTER 02Z.

PLENTY OF WIND SHEAR TODAY DUE TO STRONG PRESSURE GRADIENT.
SUSTAINED SOUTH WINDS OF 15-20 KNOTS WITH GUSTS TO 30 KNOTS WILL
WEAKEN AFTER 23Z.
