AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TALLAHASSEE FL
920 PM EST Mon Feb 13 2012

.UPDATE...An area of light to occasionally moderate rain is
pushing east across south central Alabama this evening. This
activity is developing ahead of an approaching shortwave and weak
area of low pressure. Synoptic forcing is expect to weaken
overnight as isentropic lift diminishes. However, showers will
still move into the region after midnight, with the highest rain
chances across SE Alabama through sunrise.

Temperature forecast is tricky overnight with the dry low-level
airmass still in place. Clear skies this evening have allow
temperatures to drop into the upper 30s and lower 40s, with the
coldest temperatures over the eastern zones. Temperatures may
continue to drop for another couple of hours before the clouds
begin to roll in. Once this happens, temperatures should become
steady or slowly rise through the remainder of the night. Will
adjust min temperatures down a few degrees over the eastern zones
with the next update.

&&

.AVIATION (through 00z Wednesday)...CIGS will gradually lower
through the overnight hours from west to east as an area of low
clouds and rain moves into the region. MVFR conditions are
expected for much of the day on Tuesday with scattered rain
showers.

&&

.MARINE...Most of the high-res guidance brings an area of 20 knot
winds into the offshore western legs by sunrise. Will follow this
guidance and raise a Small Craft Advisory for the offshore western
leg through Tuesday afternoon. Otherwise, current forecast is in
good shape this evening, with no other significant changes
planned.
