.DISCUSSION...

SATELLITE AND RADAR IMAGERY HAVE SEVERAL BOUNDARIES ROTATING
SOUTHEASTWARD TOWARD AND THROUGH CENTRAL ALABAMA. A FEW SHOWERS
WERE APPARENT IN CENTRAL TENNESSEE EARLIER...BUT MEAN RELATIVE
HUMIDITY IS TOO LOW HERE TO PRODUCE ANY SHOWERS...AND NOT MUCH IN
CLOUD COVER. MADE SOME ADJUSTMENTS TO THE TEMP TRENDS THIS EVENING
AND RAISED LOWS BY A DEGREE HERE AND THERE. WINDS SHOULD BECOME
BREEZY BEHIND THE STRONG COLD SHOT BEHIND THE FRONT JUST NOW
ENTERING FAR NORTHWEST AREAS. UPDATES ALREADY OUT.

.AVIATION...
06Z TAF DISCUSSION.

FIRST COLD FRONT IS ALMOST THRU CENTRAL ALABAMA AND ALL CLOUD
COVER ASSOCIATED WITH IT HAS EXITED INTO GA. SECONDARY FRONTAL
BOUNDARY IS APPROACHING TCL AND WILL CONTINUE TO TRACK SE
OVERNIGHT. THERE MOST LIKELY WILL NOT BE ANY CIGS ASSOCIATED WITH
THIS FRONT JUST MAYBE A FEW CLOUDS AROUND 4-6K FT. THERE IS A
STRATUS DECK IN CENTRAL TN THAT WILL ROTATE SE ACROSS NE AL
TONIGHT THAT COULD PERHAPS CLIP ANB BUT CONFIDENCE IS JUST NOT HIGH
ENOUGH TO MENTION MORE THAN SCT AT THIS TIME. A FEW GUSTS OF 15-18
KTS OUT OF THE NW WILL BE POSSIBLE BEHIND THE SECOND FRONTAL
BOUNDARY. LOOK FOR CONTINUED NW WINDS ON SATURDAY OF 9-12 KTS WITH
SOME GUSTS UP TO 20 KTS POSSIBLE.

NOTE...THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WILL BEGIN ISSUING SEASONAL
TERMINAL FORECASTS FOR THE TALLADEGA MUNICIPAL AIRPORT (KASN) IN
TALLADEGA...ALABAMA. THE FORECAST WILL BEGIN OCTOBER 5TH AT 00Z
AND LAST THROUGH AT LEAST THE 23RD OF OCTOBER.
