AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BIRMINGHAM AL
319 AM CST TUE NOV 30 2010

.UPDATE...MESOSCALE UPDATE.

&&

.DISCUSSION...

AS OF 830Z...THE SEVERE WEATHER SETUP REMAINS IN PLACE FOR MOST OF
CENTRAL ALABAMA THIS MORNING...AS WE ARE CONTINUING TO SEE CYCLES
FROM QLCS LINES TO DISCRETE SUPERCELLS ACROSS WESTERN ALABAMA.
SURFACE ANALYSIS INDICATES THAT A SECONDARY WARM FRONT WITH
DEWPOINTS APPROACHING 70 DEGREES RUNS FROM MERIDIAN MS EASTWARD TO
DEMOPOLIS...SOUTH SOUTHEASTWARD TO THE FLORIDA PANHANDLE. THE WARM
FRONT WILL CONTINUE TO SLOWLY MOVE NORTHWARD THROUGH THE EARLY
MORNING HOURS...AND WE WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR AREAS BEHIND THE
WARM FRONT FOR MORE INDIVIDUAL SUPERCELLS TO FORM. LOOKING AT THE
SPECIAL 6Z SOUNDING...CAPE VALUES ARE LOW...BUT SHEAR VALUES
REMAIN HIGH...WITH 0-3 KM SRH VALUES OVER 500...AND 0-6 KM BULK
SHEAR VALUES WELL OVER 50 KNOTS. THE LIFTING FROM THE FRONT ALONE
AND THE STRONG SHEAR WILL BE ENOUGH TO MAXIMIZE EVEN THE LOW CAPE
ENVIRONMENT THAT IS CURRENTLY OVER CENTRAL ALABAMA...AND THE
THREAT WILL CONTINUE ACROSS THE STATE INTO THE MORNING
HOURS...CONTINUING TO THE EAST DURING THE EARLY AFTERNOON HOURS. THE
MAIN THREATS AT THIS TIME CONTINUE TO BE STRONG DAMAGING WINDS UP
TO 70 MPH AND ISOLATED TORNADOES ACROSS THE CENTRAL PORTION OF THE
STATE...WITH A HIGHER CHANCE OF TORNADOES ACROSS THE WEST AND
SOUTHWEST IN THE MOST UNSTABLE REGION BEHIND THE WARM FRONT. THE
THREAT WILL ALSO EXIST FOR TRAINING SUPERCELLS TO MOVE OVER THE
SAME GENERAL LOCATIONS MORE THAN ONCE ACROSS THOSE AREAS.

ONCE THE FRONT CLEARS THE AREA TODAY...WE WILL EXPECT COLDER
TEMPERATURES FOR WEDNESDAY...BUT NOTHING TOO UNSEASONABLE.
TEMPERATURES WILL REMAIN IN THE UPPER 50S TO LOWER 60S FOR HIGHS
THROUGH THE WEEKEND...WITH A CHANCE OF SHOWERS COMING INTO THE
PICTURE FOR SATURDAY AND SUNDAY WITH AN APPROACHING SHORTWAVE.

.AVIATION...06Z TAF DISCUSSION.

IFR/MVFR CEILINGS THROUGH TOMORROW AS DEEP MOISTURE LIFTS NORTHWARD
FROM THE GULF AHEAD OF ADVANCING STRONG STORM SYSTEM. SOME
INTERMITTENT SHOWERS FOR THE NEXT COUPLE OF HOURS THEN HEAVIER
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL ENTER INTO WEST CENTRAL ALABAMA AND
APPROACH TCL. THE COLD FRONT IS EXPECTED TO REACH WESTERN ALABAMA
AROUND 11Z AND PUSH EAST OF MGM/TOI AROUND MID AFTERNOON. SOME 00Z
GUIDANCE NOW SHOWS LINGERING HEAVY RAINFALL NEAR TOI THROUGH
ROUGHLY 03Z.

WINDS WILL SHIFT FROM SOUTHEASTERLY TO SOUTHERLY OVER THE NEXT FEW
HOURS AT 10 TO 12 KTS WITH SOME GUSTS OF 20 KTS POSSIBLE
OVERNIGHT. WINDS BECOMING NORTHWEST AT 10 KTS AFTER FROPA.

NOTICE...KEET TAF WILL HAVE (AMD LTD TO VIS WIND AND WX) AMENDED
TO THE END OF THE FORECAST THROUGH THE END OF 2010. THE CEILOMETER
DATA WILL BE GOING THROUGH NUMEROUS TESTS AND MONITORED FOR
ACCURACY.
