Area forecast discussion, May 6, 6:44 AM CDT, 2 hours 54 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BIRMINGHAM AL 644 AM CDT WED MAY 6 2009 .UPDATE...FOR 12Z AVIATION. && .DISCUSSION... ONCE AGAIN...BUSY WITH WEATHER...SO I WILL BE BRIEF. ANOTHER DAY...SAME FORECAST...AS YET ANOTHER VORT MAX AND JET MAX ENTER NORTHWEST ALABAMA THIS MORNING AND WILL FOCUS STORMS...THE STRONGEST THIS AFTERNOON...MAINLY ACROSS THE NORTHERN HALF OF THE CWA BY EARLY AFTERNOON. THESE STORMS...STRONG WITH A GOOD MIX OF SEVERE WILL LINGER INTO THE EVENING AND OVERNIGHT AS THE FOCUSING MECHANISM DRIFTS FURTHER SOUTH THROUGH THE LATE AFTERNOON AND EVENING HOURS. LOOK FOR MUCH OF THE SAME AS THE PREVIOUS OVERNIGHT PERIODS...FOR THE SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TO LAST WELL INTO THE OVERNIGHT PERIOD. INTO THURSDAY...WE WILL ONCE AGAIN DEAL WITH ACTIVE WEATHER...AS WEDNESDAYS SLOW MOVING BOUNDARY WILL ONCE AGAIN TRIGGER MAINLY AFTERNOON STORMS ACROSS THE SOUTHERN TWO-THIRDS OF THE CWA. ISOLATED SEVERE WEATHER WILL ONCE AGAIN BE IN THE CARDS AS SHEAR VECTORS AND LAPSE RATES REMAIN RATHER LARGE...AGAIN THOUGH...THINKING THE BEST CHANCES WILL LIKELY BEGIN TO MOVE FURTHER SOUTH AS THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING PROGRESSES. WE WILL HOPEFULLY BEGIN SEEING OUR FIRST BREAK IN THE ACTION BY LATE THURSDAY...ESPECIALLY INTO THE OVERNIGHT PERIOD ON FRIDAY MORNING. FRIDAY AFTERNOON AND INTO THE WEEKEND...WE MAY CATCH A BIT OF A REST AS THE AFTERNOON SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS SEEM TO BE A BIT MORE ON THE DISORGANIZED SIDE...ESPECIALLY IN TERMS OF SEVERE WEATHER. HOWEVER...EXPECT TO SEE ISOLATED TO SCATTERED DEVELOPMENT EACH DAY...MAINLY NORTH OF INTERSTATE 20. BEYOND THE WEEKEND...IT LOOKS LIKE ANOTHER SAGGING FRONT WILL MOVE ACROSS THE STATE...SO GET READY FOR ANOTHER FEW DAYS OF STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS POSSIBLE THROUGH THE END OF THE PERIOD. I DONT SEE A LOT OF UPPER LEVEL DYNAMIC SUPPORT FOR ORGANIZED SEVERE OUTBREAK TYPE WEATHER...BUT CERTAINLY ANY VORT OR JET MAX WILL BRING THE ISOLATED TO SCATTERED SEVERE THREAT ONCE AGAIN TO CENTRAL ALABAMA...TYPICAL MONTH OF MAY PATTERN. && .AVIATION...12Z TAF DISCUSSION. CHALLENGE TODAY IS TIMING THE SQUALL APPROACHING FROM MISSISSIPPI. AMENDMENTS MAY BE NEEDED BASED ON INCREASE OR DECREASE IN SPEED. IFR CONDITIONS EXPECTED WITHIN LINE. PRE-SQUALL LINE CONDITIONS WILL BE MVFR. SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE LIKELY TO CONTINUE THROUGH THE EARLY EVENING. && .BMX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... FLASH FLOOD WATCH FOR MARION-WINSTON-LAMAR-FAYETTE-WALKER-BLOUNT- ETOWAH AND CHEROKEE UNTIL 12 PM. && 17/88
