AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION

546 AM CST TUE NOV 16 2010

.UPDATE...AVIATION DISCUSSION.

&&

.DISCUSSION...

RAIN AND ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE MORNING
HOURS...AS THE MAIN UPPER TROUGH AND SURFACE LOW BEGIN TO SWING
THROUGH THE AREA. THE SURFACE LOW WILL BE NEAR NORTHWESTERN
ALABAMA BY SUNRISE AND THEN QUICKLY EXIT OUT OF THE AREA BY THE
EARLY AFTERNOON. RAINFALL WILL BE MOST WIDESPREAD FROM NOW THROUGH
ROUGHLY 9 AM.

CURRENTLY WATCHING A DRY SLOT WORKING INTO THE SOUTHWESTERN COUNTIES
WITH A LINE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE GULF COAST. THIS
LINE IS CUTTING OFF THE BULK OF THE RAIN AND EVEN THE SEVERE THREAT
RIGHT NOW ACROSS THE AREA. ALTHOUGH AS THE UPPER LOW AND SURFACE
SWING CLOSER TO THE AREA...THERE WILL STILL BE A POSSIBILITY FOR
SOME SEVERE WEATHER...ALTHOUGH CHANCES REMAIN SLIM. AT THIS TIME
THIS AREA STILL REMAINS ACROSS THE SOUTH.

ONCE THE SYSTEM CLEARS OUT BY TONIGHT...TEMPERATURES WILL COOL OFF
QUITE A BIT. THE ONLY CAVEAT TO THIS WOULD BE THE CLOUD COVER THAT
SHOULD REDEVELOP WITH THE WRAP AROUND MOISTURE THAT WILL BE PRESENT.

PAST THIS SYSTEM...DRIER CONDITIONS WILL BE ONCE AGAIN
APPEAR...ALONG WITH COOL MORNINGS. TEMPERATURES WILL SLOWLY MODIFY
EACH DAY AS THE WEEKEND APPROACHES. THE NEXT SYSTEM WILL IMPACT THE
AREA BY THE VERY END OF THE PERIOD. EVEN THIS ACTIVITY WOULD BE
ISOLATED AS IT WOULD BE AHEAD OF THE NEXT COLD FRONT THAT MAY MOVE
THROUGH BY THE END OF THE WEEK.

&&

.AVIATION...12Z TAF DISCUSSION.

IFR TO MVFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED TO CONTINUE ACROSS ALL TAF SITES
AT LEAST THROUGH THE NEXT 12 HOURS. EXPECT FOR CEILINGS TO BOUNCE
AROUND BETWEEN THESE TWO CATEGORIES DURING THIS TIME PERIOD.
VISIBILITIES WILL ALSO DO THE SAME...ESPECIALLY DURING PERIODS OF
HEAVY RAIN.

RAIN WILL BEGIN TO EXIT THE AREA STARTING AT AROUND 18Z FROM WEST TO
EAST. WINDS WILL BECOME GUSTY DURING THE LATE MORNING AND AFTERNOON
HOURS. CEILINGS WILL REMAIN AT IN THE MVFR RANGE DURING THE
AFTERNOON AND QUITE POSSIBLE GOING BACK DOWN INTO IFR AFTER 00Z.
FLIGHT CONDITIONS COULD BEGIN TO IMPROVE AFTER 06Z AS CLOUDS BEGIN
TO LIFT.

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.
