AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BIRMINGHAM AL
605 AM CST TUE JAN 6 2009

.SHORT TERM...TODAY AND TONIGHT.

QUASI-STATIONARY FRONT LOCATED CLOSE TO INTERSTATE 20 HAS NOT MOVED
MUCH OVERNIGHT WITH A SOLID AREA OF RAIN NORTH OF I-20. EVEN THOUGH
RAINFALL HAS BEEN STEADY ALL NIGHT ACROSS NORTH ALABAMA...AMOUNTS
HAVE NOT BEEN TOO EXCESSIVE WITH MAXIMUM RADAR ESTIMATED TOTALS
SINCE 6 PM MONDAY BETWEEN 1.5 AND 2.5 INCHES IN A STRIPE FROM
SULLIGENT IN CENTRAL LAMAR COUNTY...EXTENDING NORTHEAST TO JASPER
AND BLOUNTSVILLE. WITH AREAS NORTH OF I-20 EXPECTED TO REMAIN ON THE
COOL SIDE OF BOUNDARY THROUGH TODAY...CURRENT FLASH FLOOD WATCH IN
GOOD SHAPE ALTHOUGH IT MAY NEED TO BE EXTENDED INTO THE EVENING
HOURS. AN ADDITIONAL 2 TO 4 INCHES OF RAINFALL POSSIBLE IN AND NEAR
FLASH FLOOD WATCH AREA.

NOT MUCH CHANGE IN THE PREVIOUS THINKING REGARDING TIMING OR SEVERE
POTENTIAL. I THINK THE PRIMARY MESO-SCALE FEATURE THAT MAY
INFLUENCE AMOUNT OF SEVERE STORMS THIS AFTERNOON IS SURFACE WAVE
FORECAST TO DEVELOP ALONG SURFACE FRONT. LATEST MODELS RUNS SUGGEST
SURFACE LOW MAY BE FORMING SOONER AND FARTHER NORTH...WHICH WOULD
DECREASE LOW LEVEL CONVERGENCE IN WARM SECTOR. MODELS ALSO SHOWING
MAXIMUM QPF STAYING ON COOL SIDE OF ADVANCING COLD FRONT...WITH
MINIMAL CONVECTIVE QPF ALONG BOUNDARY. THIS MAY BE DUE TO THE FACT
THAT LARGE SCALE FORCING IS LOCATED A LITTLE TOO FAR UPSTREAM FROM
SURFACE INSTABILITY. 06Z NAM MODEL DOES HOWEVER BRING FORCING CLOSER
TO INSTABILITY AXIS BY 21Z TODAY. ONE SEVERE WEATHER PARAMETER THAT
IS NOT IN DOUBT IS EXPECTED WIND SHEAR. LOW LEVEL JET OF 55 KNOTS
WILL FORM IN WARM SECTOR THIS AFTERNOON WITH FAVORABLE HODOGRAPHS
FOR ROTATING SUPERCELLS. WARM SECTOR TEMPERATURES WILL WARM INTO THE
LOWER 70S WITH DEWPOINTS IN THE MID 60S. THIS WILL PRODUCE CAPES
NEAR 1000 J/KG.

NAM MODEL IS ALSO SHOWING A LULL IN THE CONVECTIVE ACTIVITY EARLY
THIS EVENING AS VERTICAL FORCING WEAKENS. A SECOND WAVE OF FORCING
THEN DEVELOPS AND APPROACHES SURFACE FRONT BY 06Z. THUS...IT IS
BECOMING INCREASING LIKELY THAT CONVECTIVE LINE COULD INTENSIFY
ACROSS SOUTHEAST ALABAMA BETWEEN 9 PM AND MIDNIGHT.

.LONG TERM...WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY.

LOOKS LIKE ANOTHER SHORT WAVE WILL PASS THROUGH ON WEDNESDAY...THE
FINAL KICK TO CLEAR US OUT. A FEW SHOWERS ARE EXPECTED DURING THE
DAY. WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT IS A TEMPERATURE
FORECAST AND USED A BLEND OF GUIDANCE...THICKNESS AND GENEROUS
TWEAKING TO GET AVERAGE TO SLIGHTLY ABOVE AVERAGE TEMPERATURES.

HIGH PRESSURE WILL SHIFT OFF THE EAST COAST FRIDAY NIGHT WITH
MODEST RETURN FLOW AHEAD OF ANOTHER COLD FRONT WHICH IS SCHEDULED
TO ARRIVE ON SATURDAY. A FEW SCATTERED SHOWERS WILL BE POSSIBLE
FROM LATE SATURDAY MORNING THROUGH THE EARLY EVENING. THE AIRMASS
BEHIND THIS FRONT SHOULD BE COOL ENOUGH TO KEEP US AT OR SLIGHTLY
BELOW CLIMATOLOGICAL AVERAGE THROUGH MONDAY.

SOME UNCERTAINTIES WITH PRECIPITATION CHANCES AT THE END OF THE
PERIOD. THE GFS CONTINUES ADVERTISING A LOW COMING OUT OF THE
WESTERN GULF BRINGING US ANOTHER GOOD ROUND OF RAIN...OR SOMETHING
WINTRY...ON TUESDAY...WHILE THE ECMWF KEEPS US DRY. ENSEMBLES TEND
TO FAVOR THE ECMWF HERE.

.AVIATION...12Z TAF DISCUSSION.

A WARM FRONT EXTENDS ALONG THE I-20 CORRIDOR. NORTH OF THE
FRONT...SHOWERS WILL PERSIST THROUGH 18Z. THIS WILL MAINLY IMPACT
BHM. IFR CIGS HAVE COME AND GONE AT SEVERAL SITES OVERNIGHT. IFR

VSBYS ARE VFR EXCEPT IN RAIN AREAS ALONG AND NORTH OF WARM FRONT
WHERE VSBYS ARE MVFR. INCLUDED LLWS FOR SITES BHM AND TCL WHICH ARE

LOW CONFIDENCE IN FORECAST BEYOND 18Z AS THUNDERSTORMS INCREASE OVER
WEST ALABAMA AND SURFACE FRONT MOVES INTO REGION. SOUTHERLY FLOW
WILL INCREASE TO NEAR 50 KNOTS AT 2000 FEET AGL AS LOW LEVEL JET
SETS UP OVER AREA. BY 21Z EXPECT DETERIORATING CONDITIONS AT
BHM...TCL...AND EET AS FRONT MOVES INTO AREA FROM THE WEST.
WIDESPREAD SHOWERS AND TSTMS WILL CREATE WIDE FLUCTUATIONS IN CIGS
AND VSBYS...BUT GENERAL TREND WILL BE FOR CIGS LOWERING TO IFR IN
POST FRONTAL COOLER AIR MASS.

SEVERE STORMS ALSO POSSIBLE THIS AFTERNOON FOR AREAS SOUTH OF I-20
WITH WIND GUSTS TO 50 KNOTS. A SQUALL LINE WILL LIKELY DEVELOP LATER
