AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BIRMINGHAM AL
638 PM CDT SAT MAR 23 2013

.UPDATE...
FOR AVIATION

&&

.DISCUSSION...

STORM SYSTEM WHICH WILL BRING SEVERE STORMS AND POSSIBLY TORNADOES
TO CENTRAL ALABAMA TONIGHT IS TAKING SHAPE TO OUR WEST. A SURFACE
LOW IS DEVELOPING ALONG THE WESTERN LOUISIANA GULF COAST AS A TROUGH
MOVES INTO THE SOUTHERN PLAINS. WARM FRONT REMAINS DRAPED ACROSS THE
NORTHERN GULF COAST THIS AFTERNOON...WELL TO OUR SOUTH. MOST OF THE
ACTIVITY THIS AFTERNOON AS BEEN CONFINED TO THE FLORIDA PANHANDLE
AND ALABAMA COASTAL COUNTIES...CLOSER TO THE WARM FRONT AS IT INCHES
NORTHWARD. A COUPLE LINES OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS HAVE
DEVELOPED AND PUSHED NORTHWARD. THIS ACTIVITY WILL BE ELEVATED AS IT
RIDES OVER A STABLE AIRMASS AT THE SURFACE...BUT STILL POSES A RISK
OF LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING WINDS.

THE SURFACE LOW TO OUR WEST WILL DEEPEN AND QUICKLY SHIFT EASTWARD
TONIGHT AS THE TROUGH SWINGS INTO THE LOWER MISSISSIPPI RIVER VALLEY
AND TAKES ON A NEGATIVE TILT. EXPECT TO SEE THUNDERSTORMS DEVELOP
WELL TO OUR WEST AND PUSH INTO CENTRAL ALABAMA THIS EVENING. AS THE
SURFACE LOW NEARS THE MISSISSIPPI STATE LINE...THE WARM FRONT TO OUR
SOUTH IS EXPECTED TO LIFT NORTHWARD...ALTHOUGH JUST HOW FAR REMAINS
UNCERTAIN. MODELS INDICATE A QUICK SURGE OF LOW LEVEL MOISTURE
NORTHWARD BEFORE MIDNIGHT IN THE SOUTHWEST AS THE SURFACE LOW AND
ASSOCIATED DRY LINE PUSH INTO THE AREA. THIS INCREASE IN LOW LEVEL
INSTABILITY...COUPLED WITH ENHANCED WIND FLOW FROM THE STRENGTHENING
STORM SYSTEM AND UPPER LEVEL JET STRUCTURE...WOULD SUPPORT A TORNADO
THREAT...ALONG WITH DAMAGING WINDS AND LARGE HAIL. THIS THREAT AREA
SHIFTS ACROSS SOUTHERN COUNTIES AFTER MIDNIGHT. FURTHER NORTH...IF
STORMS REMAIN ORGANIZED...DAMAGING WINDS AND LARGE HAIL WILL BE
POSSIBLE. DO NOT EXPECT TO MAKE ANY LARGE CHANGES TO THE HWO THREAT
AREAS AT THIS TIME.

MOST OF THE ACTIVITY WILL BE EAST OF CENTRAL ALABAMA BY SUNRISE.
MAIN UPPER LEVEL TROUGH CROSSES THE AREA TOMORROW...AS THE SURFACE
LOW TRACKS NORTHEASTWARD INTO EASTERN KENTUCKY. THIS WILL DRAG THE
ACTUAL COLD FRONT THROUGH THE AREA DURING THE DAY. MODELS SHOWING
QUITE A BIT OF INSTABILITY AHEAD OF THE FRONT...ALTHOUGH PROFILES
DRY OUT RATHER QUICKLY. EXPECT CLOUD COVER TO HANG AROUND TOMORROW
LONGER THAN MODEL GUIDANCE INDICATES...SO THOSE LOW LEVEL
INSTABILITIES MIGHT NOT BE REALIZED. NEVERTHELESS...FORCING
ASSOCIATED WITH THE UPPER TROUGH WILL BE ENOUGH TO KICK OFF A FEW
THUNDERSTORMS. GIVEN THE UNCERTAINTY ASSOCIATED WITH CLOUD COVER AND
MOISTURE AVAILABILITY WILL NOT ADD A MENTION OF LARGE HAIL IN
THE HWO FOR TOMORROW.

14

.LONG TERM...SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY.

BY SUNDAY EVENING THE COLD FRONT AND ALL PRECIP SHOULD BE EXITING
EAST CENTRAL ALABAMA. SOME VERY LIGHT WRAP AROUND PRECIP APPEARS
POSSIBLE BOTH MONDAY AND TUESDAY AFTERNOONS AS THE UPPER LOW BECOMES
MORE STRETCHED OVER THE SOUTHEAST. GIVEN THE VERY LIGHT QPF AMOUNTS
MOSTLY REMAINING OVER NORTHERN ALABAMA... LEFT POPS 10 PERCENT OR
LESS FOR BOTH DAYS. A FREEZE LOOKS POSSIBLE FOR BOTH TUESDAY AND
WEDNESDAY MORNINGS... WITH THE BETTER CHANCE OF SOME MID TO UPPER
20S ACROSS NORTH CENTRAL ALABAMA WEDNESDAY MORNING.

AN BROAD AREA OF SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE WILL MAINTAIN ITSELF OVER THE
EASTERN CONUS THROUGH THE SECOND HALF OF THE UPCOMING WEEK... WHICH
WILL ALLOW TEMPS TO INCREASE SOME EACH DAY FROM WEDNESDAY THROUGH
FRIDAY. A SLIGHT CHANCE OF RAIN SHOWERS RETURNS FRIDAY AND SATURDAY
AS LOW LEVEL MOISTURE BEGINS TO RETURN ACROSS THE SOUTHEAST AND THE
SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE MOVES OFF THE EAST COAST.

77/GLEASON

&&

.AVIATION...
00Z TAF DISCUSSION

MVFR CEILINGS CURRENTLY COVER THE TAF SITES. SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS HAVE DEVELOPED ACROSS SOUTHERN ALABAMA AHEAD OF AN
ADVANCING WARM FRONT. KTOI HAS ALREADY EXPERIENCED THUNDERSTORM
ACTIVITY AND EXPECT THUNDERSTORMS  WILL CONTINUE TO PUSH
NORTHWARD THROUGHOUT THE OVERNIGHT HOURS. CEILINGS SHOULD DROP
DOWN TO IFR AS THE WARM FRONT PUSHES NORTHWARD WITH VISIBILITIES
DROPPING DOWN TO IFR IN THE HEAVIER DOWNPOURS. MANY UPDATES AND
AMENDMENTS WILL LIKELY BE NEEDED TONIGHT TO REFINE TIMING AND
EVOLUTION OF THE ADVANCING WARM FRONT. THE COLD FRONT FURTHER TO
THE WEST WILL MOVE THROUGH THE AREA EARLY TOMORROW MORNING WITH
WINDS BECOMING MORE WESTERLY. THE PRESSURE GRADIENT WILL TIGHTEN
BEHIND THE FRONT AND WINDS WILL BECOME GUSTY AFTER 17Z TOMORROW.
