AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BIRMINGHAM AL
744 PM CST THU FEB 24 2011

.UPDATE...MESOSCALE DISCUSSION.

&&

.MESOSCALE DISCUSSION...

FORECAST UPDATED TO INCREASE SURFACE WINDS/WIND GUSTS AND TO ADD
SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WORDING TO THE ZONES.

WITH THE LINE OF THUNDERSTORMS ONLY A COUPLE OF HOURS AWAY...AND THE
00Z UPPER AIR RUNS COMPLETE...WANTED TO TAKE A LOOK AT THE LATEST
MESOSCALE FEATURES THAT ARE...OR ARE NOT...DEVELOPING ACROSS CENTRAL
ALABAMA.

AS WE HAVE TALKED ABOUT FOR THE LAST COUPLE OF DAYS...SHEAR IS
LIKELY NOT GOING TO BE A PROBLEM.  ALREADY WE ARE SEEING AN INCREASE
IN THE 0-6KM BULK SHEAR PROFILES TO 55-70KTS FOR POINTS ALONG AND
NORTH OF INTERSTATE 20.  WITH SURFACE DEW POINTS IN THE UPPER 50S TO
RIGHT AROUND 60 FOR EVERYONE...THOSE SHEAR BULK SHEAR PROFILES
SHOULD BE ENOUGH TO SUSTAIN SOLID UPDRAFTS TO KEEP THUNDERSTORM
DEVELOPMENT GOING THROUGH THE EVENING HOURS.

THERMODYNAMICALLY...ONE OF THE OTHER FACTORS THAT WILL HELP CONTINUE
DEVELOPMENT AND GET US CLOSER TO EXPERIENCE SEVERE WIND GUSTS AS
THIS LINE MOVES THROUGH THE AREA IS THE INCREASE IN MID-LEVEL LAPSE
RATES OVER THE LAST 3-6 HOURS ACROSS NORTHWEST PORTIONS OF THE
STATE.

BUT AS SEVERE WEATHER GOES...WE TRY TO LOOK FOR THE FACTORS THAT
COULD LIMIT POTENTIAL SEVERE WEATHER AS WELL...AND THERE ARE A
COUPLE.  ONE OF THE BIGGEST LIMITING FACTORS IS SEEN IN UPPER AIR
SOUNDINGS AROUND ALMOST ALL OF THE SOUTHEAST THIS EVENING.  A FAIRLY
DECENT TEMPERATURE INVERSION STARTING AT 700MB COULD HAMPER ANY
STRONG UPDRAFTS THAT ARE INITIATED.  JAN AND BMX ARE SHOWING THE
MOST PREVALENT ONES...AND THIS IS LIKELY WHY WE HAVE NOT SEEN ANY
SIGNIFICANT WARM SECTOR DEVELOPMENT AHEAD OF THIS LINE OF
THUNDERSTORMS THUS FAR.  THAT BEING SAID...AFTER LOOKING OVER THE
LAPS SOUNDINGS FROM 00Z...THEY ARE SHOWING THIS CAPPING INVERSION
OVER ALABAMA AND NORTHEAST MISSISSIPPI...BUT FURTHER ANALYSIS SHOWS
AN EVENTUAL EROSION OF THIS CAP JUST AHEAD OF THE CURRENT LINE OF
THUNDERSTORMS.  THIS TREND OF CAP EROSION WILL LIKELY CONTINUE AS
THE MAIN LINE CLOSES IN ON CENTRAL ALABAMA...BUT THE QUESTION WILL
ENOUGH OF THE CAP ERODE TO BE SIGNIFICANT IN THE WAY OF CONTINUED
SIGNIFICANT THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT.

ALL OF THAT BEING SAID...WITH A 40-45KTS 850 JET ALREADY DEVELOPING
AND A 115-125KT UPPER LEVEL JET ASSISTING IN LARGE SCALE ASCENT
OVERHEAD...THE LACK OF SURFACE BASED INSTABILITY WILL LIKELY BE
OVERCOME TO THE POINT OF ALLOWING UPDRAFTS TO BE SUSTAINED LONG
ENOUGH FOR PORTIONS OF CENTRAL ALABAMA...ESPECIALLY POINTS ALONG AND
NORTH OF INTERSTATE 59...TO EXPERIENCE SOME SEVERE WEATHER THIS
EVENING. DAMAGING WIND GUSTS WITH THE SQUALL LINE AS IT MOVES
THROUGH THE STATE WILL LIKELY BE THE MAIN THREAT. THERE WILL ALSO
BE A VERY ISOLATED TORNADO THREAT AS THE LINE MOVES THROUGH...AS
0-1KM SRH VALUES REMAIN IN THE 350-500 M^2/S^2 RANGE.

TIMING IS ALSO SOMETHING THAT IT LOOKS LIKE WE ARE GOING TO HAVE TO
ADJUST SLIGHTLY AS THE LINE LOOKS TO BE RUNNING ABOUT 2 HOURS FASTER
THAN THE MODELS HAD IT MOVING INTO CENTRAL ALABAMA. A 10 PM ARRIVAL
INTO OUR NORTHWEST COUNTIES OF MARION AND LAMAR...WITH AN APPROXIMATE
ARRIVAL TIME OF 1-2AM INTO THE GREATER BIRMINGHAM METRO AREA.

&&

AVIATION...00Z TAF DISCUSSION.

THE SQUALL LINE ASSOCIATED WITH THE APPROACHING FRONTAL SYSTEM IS
CURRENTLY LOCATED ACROSS E AR SWRD INTO N LA AND WILL CONTINUE TO
SLIDE EWD THRU THE EVNG. THIS LINE SHOULD REACH NW PORTIONS OF THE
CWA AROUND MIDNIGHT. HAVE ADJUSTED TIMING OF THE LINE SLIGHTLY FOR
EACH TERMINAL...BUT NO MAJOR CHANGES HAVE BEEN MADE AS OF YET.
BETTER TIMING WILL BE KNOWN AS THE LINE APPROACHES THE STATE...SO
EXPECT ADDITIONAL CHANGES TO SQUALL LINE ARRIVAL/DEPARTURE TIMES
WITH THE NEXT ISSUANCE. AT THIS TIME...BELIEVE THE ACTIVITY WILL
TRACK EWD ACROSS THE AREA AND EXIT THE SE SITES AROUND 12Z. VIS AND
CIGS WILL LIKELY DROP TO LIFR AND IFR...RESPECTIVELY...AS THE SQUALL
LINE MOVES ACROSS THE AREA. A TIGHT PRESSURE GRADIENT WILL KEEP
SOUTHERLY WINDS GUSTING UP TO 25 KTS THRU THE EVNG AND INTO THE
OVERNIGHT PERIOD. GUSTS UP TO 40 OR 50 KTS ARE POSSIBLE ALONG THE
LEADING EDGE OF THE SQUALL LINE...BUT SHOULD BE BRIEF IN NATURE.

WINDS WILL SHIFT TO WNW BEHIND THE FRONT...AND MODELS SHOW MVFR CIGS
PERSISTING FOR SEVERAL HRS IN THE WAKE OF THE BOUNDARY AS WELL.
SKIES SHOULD BEGIN TO CLEAR FROM W TO E FRI AFTN.

NOTICE...KEET TAF WILL HAVE (AMD LTD TO VIS WIND AND WX) AMENDED TO
THE END OF THE FORECAST THROUGH THE END OF THE 2010/2011 WINTER
SEASON. THE CEILOMETER DATA WILL BE GOING THROUGH NUMEROUS TESTS AND
MONITORED FOR ACCURACY.

19

HYDROLOGY...

THE WEATHER SYSTEM MOVING THROUGH TONIGHT SHOULD BE A FAIRLY QUICK
HITTING ONE...WITH THE STRONGEST STORMS LASTING JUST A COUPLE
HOURS AT MOST. DUE TO THE SPEED OF MOVEMENT...QPF APPEARS TO
REMAIN WELL BELOW FLOOD GUIDANCE LEVELS. ALTHOUGH NORMAL POOR
DRAINAGE AND QUICK RESPONSE LOCATIONS COULD SEE SOME HIGH
WATER...NO WIDESPREAD FLOODING CONCERNS ARE EXPECTED IN CENTRAL
ALABAMA AT THIS TIME.

/61/

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 520 PM CST THU FEB 24 2011/

DISCUSSION...

WELL...CONDITIONS ACROSS CENTRAL ALABAMA ARE CURRENTLY A BIT MORE
MOIST THAN PREVIOUS COMPUTER MODELS HAD PREDICTED. SURFACE DEW
POINTS IN THE WESTERN 2/3 OF THE AREA ARE WITHIN 2 DEGREES (EITHER
SIDE) OF 60F...WHICH IS ANYWHERE FROM 7 TO 10 DEGREES HIGHER THAN
THE 12Z MAVMOS HAD PREDICTED FOR THIS TIME FRAME. UPPER 50S TO
LOWER 60S DEWPOINTS GO TO THE WEST ALL THE WAY BACK TO THE DRY
LINE...WHICH IS CURRENTLY BETWEEN DFW AND TYLER TEXAS. THE
DEEPENING SURFACE LOW PASSING TO OUR NORTH WILL CONTINUE TO
PROVIDE SOUTH TO SOUTHWEST WINDS THIS EVENING...SO I WOULD EXPECT
TEMPERATURES AND DEW POINTS TO NOT MAKE A LOT OF BIG MOVEMENTS
UNTIL COLD FRONTAL PASSAGE OVERNIGHT. THAT MAKES THINGS POTENTIALLY
MORE UNSTABLE DURING THE TIME THAT SURFACE AND MID LEVEL FORCING
MAXES OUT. AS A RESULT...I'M NOW A BIT MORE CONCERNED WITH THE
POTENTIAL FOR SEVERE STORMS IN OUR AREA LATER TONIGHT...AND
MESOSCALE DEVELOPMENTS WILL NEED TO BE WATCHED CLOSELY DURING THE
EVENING HOURS.

ALL SIGNS CONTINUE TO POINT TO A SHORT REST PERIOD IN BETWEEN
SYSTEMS FRIDAY NIGHT INTO SUNDAY MORNING.

CURRENTLY HAVE FAIRLY HIGH CONFIDENCE THAT THERE WILL BE A SEVERE
WEATHER/TORNADO THREAT SOME TIME BETWEEN LATE SUNDAY AND MONDAY
EVENING...AS THE NEXT UPPER LEVEL SHORTWAVE TROUGH LIFTS
NORTHEASTWARD ACROSS THE TN/OH VALLEYS AND DRAGS A SURFACE FRONT
THROUGH THE SOUTHEASTERN STATES. THE UNCERTAINTY WITH THIS SYSTEM
REMAINS WITH THE TIMING. ECMWF REMAINS THE SLOWEST...DELAYING THE
FRONTAL PASSAGE UNTIL AROUND NOON MONDAY. GFS AND GEM ARE 6 TO 8
HOURS QUICKER...AND ALSO FARTHER NORTH WITH THE MOVEMENT OF THE
PARENT SURFACE LOW. MY GUT TELLS ME TO GO WITH THE SLOWEST MODEL
(LOCAL RULE OF THUMB STATES THAT THE SLOWEST MODEL IS USUALLY
STILL TOO FAST)...WHICH WOULD BE THE ECMWF. BUT WITH THE
OPERATIONAL GFS AND GEM...NOT TO MENTION ENSEMBLE SUPPORT...THERE
IS JUST THAT LITTLE BIT OF UNCERTAINTY. HOPEFULLY THINGS WILL
SHAKE OUT AND COME INTO BETTER AGREEMENT ON THE TIMING...SO THAT
WE CAN THEN CONCENTRATE MORE ON THE MESOSCALE DETAILS THAT WOULD
DETERMINE THE STRENGTH AND MODE OF THE THREAT.

ONCE THAT SECOND SYSTEM GETS THROUGH HERE CONDITIONS APPEAR TO
RETURN TO A ZONAL FLOW DOMINATED PATTERN...WITH DRY AND SEASONABLE
WEATHER.

810 PM CST THU FEB 24 2011

THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR THE COUNTIES SERVED BY THE
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE OFFICE IN BIRMINGHAM.

.DAY ONE...TONIGHT.

STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ARE POSSIBLE ACROSS CENTRAL ALABAMA
BEGINNING AT 10 PM AND CONTINUING THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT HOURS.
DAMAGING WINDS...LARGE HAIL...AND ISOLATED TORNADOES ARE POSSIBLE
NEAR AND NORTH OF A LINE FROM LIVINGSTON TO TUSCALOOSA TO BIRMINGHAM
BETWEEN 10 PM AND 2 AM. THE THREAT WILL THEN SHIFT TO STRAIGHT LINE
WINDS AND LARGE HAIL FOR AREAS GENERALLY NORTH OF A LINE FROM SELMA
TO PRATTVILLE TO ROCKFORD TO HEFLIN. THIS ACTIVITY IS MAINLY EXPECTED
BETWEEN 2 AM AND 5 AM.

BREEZY CONDITIONS ARE ALSO EXPECTED THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT HOURS.
SUSTAINED WINDS BETWEEN 10 AND 20 MPH WITH A FEW GUSTS TO 30 MPH ARE
POSSIBLE. WINDS WILL BE STRONGEST JUST AHEAD OF THE THUNDERSTORMS.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY.

A WEAKENING AREA OF THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE ACROSS SOUTHEAST PORTIONS
OF CENTRAL ALABAMA FRIDAY MORNING. ALTHOUGH A FEW STRONG WIND GUSTS
ARE POSSIBLE...THE ACTIVITY IS EXPECTED TO REMAIN BELOW SEVERE
LIMITS.

ANOTHER STORM SYSTEM IS EXPECTED TO AFFECT CENTRAL ALABAMA SUNDAY
NIGHT INTO MONDAY. DAMAGING WINDS...HAIL...AND ISOLATED TORNADOES
WILL BE POSSIBLE ACROSS THE ENTIRE AREA. THERE IS THE POTENTIAL THAT
THIS SYSTEM COULD BE STRONGER AND THUS HAVE A HIGHER THREAT OF
SEVERE WEATHER THAN THE FIRST SYSTEM. TIMING DIFFERENCES LEAD TO
LESSER CONFIDENCE AT THIS TIME. THIS SYSTEM WILL ALSO PRODUCE BREEZY
CONDITIONS WITH GUSTS TO 30 MPH POSSIBLE.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

ACTIVATION OF STORM SPOTTERS AND EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT WILL BECOME
NECESSARY TONIGHT AND POSSIBLY AGAIN ON MONDAY. DUE TO THE
ATMOSPHERIC SHEAR AVAILABLE...A TORNADO WATCH IS LIKELY FOR PARTS
OF CENTRAL ALABAMA TONIGHT.
