AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BIRMINGHAM AL
646 AM CST WED JAN 30 2013

.UPDATE...
MESOSCALE UPDATE.

&&

.DISCUSSION...

WHAT WAS LEFT OF THE SQUALL LINE/QLCS HAS NOW BECOME VERY BROKEN
IN APPEARANCE...AND CELLS ARE FORMING OUT AHEAD OF THE LINE. LIGHTNING
HAS REALLY INCREASED WITH AN INTENSIFYING LINE OF STORMS ACROSS
SOUTHEASTERN MISSISSIPPI...AND SURFACE MESOANLYSIS HAS REVEALED
THAT A WEAK AREA OF LOW PRESSURE HAS NOW BEGUN TO FORM NEAR
HATTIESBURG MISSISSIPPI. THIS WILL BECOME VERY PROBLEMATIC
THROUGH THE MORNING HOURS FOR OUR SOUTHERN SECTIONS OF THE
CWA...WHERE 68+ DEWPOINTS ARE BEGINNING TO GET ADVECTED NORTHWARD.
DEWPOINTS OF 66 HAVE BEEN ADVECTED AS FAR NORTH AS WINSTON AND
CULLMAN COUNTY. FRESH OFF THE PRESS...THE 12Z KBMX SOUNDING
MODIFIED FOR THE CURRENT SURFACE CONDITIONS REVEALS OVER 1000 J/KG
OF CAPE WITH A VERY WEAK CAP ABOUT TO BE BROKEN...WHICH WILL MEAN
THE LIKELIHOOD FOR TORNADIC DEVELOPMENT WILL CONTINUE OUT AHEAD OF
THE BROKEN LINE OF SHOWERS AND STORMS. THE ADDITION OF THE WEAK
AREA OF LOW PRESSURE ACROSS SOUTHERN MISSISSIPPI WILL NO DOUBT
CONTINUE TO INCREASE SHEAR ACROSS THE AREA AS WELL. SO THE FIRST
THREAT THAT WE WILL SEE IN THE NEXT COUPLE OF HOURS...WILL BE THE
ROTATING CELLS OUT AHEAD OF THE LINE AND WITHIN THE OLD QLCS
STRETCHING NORTHEASTWARD FROM SUMTER COUNTY NORTHEAST TO CULLMAN
COUNTY. BASED ON RADAR TRENDS...THE BEST DAMAGING STRAIGHT LINE
WIND THREAT LOOKS TO BE MATERIALIZING ACROSS SOUTHEASTERN
MISSISSIPPI...AND THAT LINE OF STORMS WILL MOVE ACROSS THE
SOUTHERN PORTIONS OF OUR CWA THROUGH THE MORNING HOURS. ALSO...THE
DAMAGING WIND THREAT WILL STILL BE POSSIBLE IN ANY STORM THAT IS
CAPABLE OF MIXING DOWN THE EXTREMELY STRONG WINDS ALOFT.

.AVIATION...
12Z TAF DISCUSSION.

MVFR CIGS ARE PREVAILING FOR MOST LOCATIONS...AND HAVE DECIDED TO GO
WITH PREVAILING MVFR FOR ALL TERMINALS THROUGH THE PERIOD IN THE
NEAR TERM. AS HEAVIER RAINFALL PASSES OVER ANY TERMINAL
LOCATION...CIGS AND VIS COULD SUDDENLY DROP AT ANY TIME. WITH CELLS
DEVELOPING OUT AHEAD OF THE SQUALL LINE...HAVE ADDED IN VCTS FOR
KBHM AND KEET THROUGH THE NEAR TERM. WINDS WILL REMAIN VERY GUSTY
THROUGH THE MORNING WITH GUSTS UP TO 30 KNOTS POSSIBLE FROM THE
SOUTH.

AS FAR AS THE TIMING OF THE SQUALL LINE...THE LINE ITSELF IS
BECOMING MORE BROKEN THAN IT WAS EARLIER THIS MORNING...BUT HAVE
STILL TRIED TO TIME THE ARRIVAL OF STRONGER WINDS AND SQUALLS AT
KTCL...KBHM...AND KEET. IF THE LINE BECOMES MORE BROKEN...WILL AMEND
BASED ON A WESTERLY WIND SHIFT THROUGH THE MORNING INSTEAD OF A
SQUALL...WITH TSRA CONTINUED TO BE MENTIONED.

DUE TO SO MANY FORECAST CHALLENGES WITHIN THE FIRST 12 HOURS OF THE
PERIOD...DID NOT SPEND MUCH TIME ON THE SECOND HALF OF THE PERIOD.
AS A HEADS UP...WINDS WILL SHIFT TO THE W/SW BEHIND THE LINE OF
STORMS BUT WILL REMAIN GUSTY.
