AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BIRMINGHAM AL
321 AM CDT MON MAR 29 2010

.DISCUSSION...

FOR A GOOD PART OF THE DAY...ESPECIALLY THIS MORNING WE WILL
CONTINUE TO HAVE TO DEAL WITH THE REMNANT UPPER LOW THAT IS TAKING
ITS TIME PUSHING FURTHER EAST. THAT WILL TRANSLATE INTO A GOOD MIX
OF CLOUDS AND SOME SUN AS WE GO INTO THE AFTERNOON HOURS. LEFT THE
NORTHERN HALF OF THE FORECAST AREA WITH DRIZZLE AND SPRINKLES
THROUGH THE MORNING AS THESE LOW CLOUDS PUSH ACROSS THE AREA. THAT
WILL ALSO KEEP TEMPS SEVERAL DEGREES BELOW NORMAL FOR THIS TIME OF
THE YEAR. IT WILL ALSO BE RATHER GUSTY TODAY AS NORTHWEST WINDS
SETTLE IN BEHIND THE FRONT. HAVE INCLUDED THE ENTIRE AREA INTO A
LOW-END WIND ADVISORY FOR THIS AFTERNOON.

ASIDE FROM TUESDAY...WHERE NORTHWEST FLOW WILL CONTINUE TO
DOMINATE...THE WEATHER PATTERN IS VERY QUIET AS LARGE SCALE
RIDGING WILL SETUP ACROSS MUCH OF THE EASTERN HALF OF THE CONUS.
THIS WILL MEAN PLENTY OF SUNSHINE AND TEMPERATURES THAT WILL
CONTINUALLY WARM AS WE PROGRESS THROUGH THE WORK WEEK. BY MID TO
LATE WEEK TEMPS WILL LIKELY BE 5 TO MAYBE EVEN 10 DEGREES ABOVE
NORMAL AS MARCH ENDS AND WE MOVE INTO APRIL. HAVE ELECTED TO KEEP
UPPER 70S AND LOWER 80S AS A SUBTLE RETURN FLOW GETS ESTABLISHED
LATE WEEK.

OUR NEXT WEATHER MAKER WILL BE ON OUR DOORSTEP BY NEXT WEEKEND AS
A PROGRESSIVE OPEN WAVE BEGINS TO CUT OFF AS IT MOVES ACROSS THE
SOUTHERN PLAINS AND MS VALLEY AREAS. EXPECT ANOTHER COLD FRONT TO
PUSH THROUGH THE SOUTHEAST BY SUNDAY...BRINGING WITH IT ANOTHER
ROUND OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS.

17/KLAWS

&&

.AVIATION...06Z TAF DISCUSSION.

CLOUDS CONTINUE TO STROLL IN FROM THE NORTHWEST THIS MORNING. EXPECT
CEILINGS TO REMAIN AT LEAST IN THE MVFR RANGE. SOME SITES ACROSS
NORTHERN MISSISSIPPI ARE REPORTING CEILINGS BELOW 1000 FT. THIS
COULD AFFECT SOME OF OUR SITES...BUT BEING THAT IT'S SPORADIC
ENOUGH...DECIDED NOT TO INCLUDED IT IN A PREVAILING GROUP AT THIS
TIME. CONDITIONS SHOULD BEGIN TO IMPROVE SLOWLY AFTER 14Z.

AFTER SUNRISE...EXPECT FOR WINDS TO BECOME QUITE GUSTY.
