.SHORT TERM...REST OF THE AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT

SURFACE RIDGE OVER THE WESTERN ATLANTIC CONTINUES TO EVER SO
SLIGHTLY MOVE EASTWARD. THAT HAS ALLOWED MORE IN THE WAY OF SHOWERS
AND STORMS TO PUSH INTO NORTHWESTERN CENTRAL ALABAMA COUNTIES THIS
AFTERNOON. SURFACE FRONT IS LOCATED GENERALLY ALONG THE I-55
CORRIDOR IN WEST MISSISSIPPI. LATEST RADAR TRENDS ARE SHOWING THAT
THE LINE OF STORMS THAT HAS MOVED INTO FAYETTE, WALKER, AND WINSTON
COUNTIES IS STARTING TO SLOW ITS EASTWARD PROGRESSION AND IS MOVING
MORE TOWARD THE NORTHEAST. WE EXPECT THAT TREND TO CONTINUE
THROUGHOUT THE EVENING AND OVERNIGHT HOURS TONIGHT, WITH A VERY SLOW
EASTWARD PROGRESSION OF THE MAIN RAIN MASS IN MISSISSIPPI. THE
FARTHER SOUTH YOU GET FROM I-20 THE BETTER CHANCE THAT YOU'LL BE
COMPLETELY DRY THROUGH MIDNIGHT TONIGHT. THERE ARE SOME INDICATIONS
THAT ADDITIONAL SHOWERS AND A FEW STORMS WILL DEVELOP AFTER
MIDNIGHT, AND HAVE INCREASED POPS A BIT FURTHER ALONG THE I-65
CORRIDOR AFTER MIDNIGHT TONIGHT INTO THE CHANCE POP RANGE.

THE OTHER BIG STORIES FROM TODAY HAVE BEEN THE STRONG GRADIENT WINDS
FROM THE SOUTH AND WARM TEMPERATURES. WINDS HAVE BEEN SUSTAINED 20
TO 25 MPH WITH A FEW GUSTS TODAY OF OVER 35 MPH. THOSE WINDS WILL
CONTINUE THROUGH THE EVENING BEFORE FINALLY DIMINISHING BY MIDNIGHT.
WARM TEMPERATURES HAVE ALSO BEEN RECORDED WITH SEVERAL 80 DEGREE
OBSERVATIONS SHOWING UP AS OF 3PM. ANNISTON WAS AT 81 DEGREES WITH
MID 80S BEING REPORTED AT EUFAULA. WE'LL STAY VERY MILD OVERNIGHT
TONIGHT WITH ALL THE CLOUDS AND RAIN LINGERING, AND MID 60S ARE
GENERALLY EXPECTED.

56/GDG

.LONG TERM...TOMORROW THROUGH WEDNESDAY

MOISTURE AXIS AND ASSOCIATED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL SLOWLY
MOVE EASTWARD ON FRIDAY IN SOUTHERLY FLOW AHEAD OF THE UPPER LOW WITH
RAIN CONTINUING TO BE LIKELY ACROSS THE WESTERN COUNTIES AND DECREASING
CHANCES FURTHER EAST. LATEST QPF GUIDANCE FROM WPC HAS SHIFTED THE
AXIS OF HEAVIEST AMOUNTS A BIT FURTHER TO THE EAST...RELYING ON
SOME OF THE HIGH-RES GUIDANCE WHICH HAS BEEN HANDLING THE
MESOSCALE DETAILS AND COLD POOLS BETTER. STORM TOTAL QPF AMOUNTS
ARE NOW UP TO 2-3 INCHES IN WESTERN PORTIONS OF SUMTER AND MARENGO
COUNTIES. WILL HOLD OFF ON ANY FLASH FLOOD WATCHES OR MENTION OF
FLASH FLOODING IN THE HWO IN FAR SW CENTRAL ALABAMA FOR NOW DUE TO
UNCERTAINTY ON WHERE THE HEAVIEST RAINFALL AMOUNTS WILL SET UP AND
FAIRLY HIGH FLASH FLOOD GUIDANCE VALUES IN SW CENTRAL ALABAMA.
WITH PW VALUES INCREASING TO 1.5-1.8 INCHES ACROSS THE WESTERN
COUNTIES LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL WILL BE POSSIBLE WITH ANY OF THE
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. MODELS STILL BROADLY AGREE THAT THERE
WILL BE A DECREASE IN ACTIVITY FRIDAY NIGHT AS PW VALUES GO
DOWN...BUT SOME LINGERING RAIN WILL REMAIN POSSIBLE IN THE WESTERN
COUNTIES ESPECIALLY DURING THE EVENING.

MODELS ARE IN FAIRLY GOOD AGREEMENT ON LIFTING THE UPPER LOW OUT
AS A WEAKENING OPEN WAVE SATURDAY AND SATURDAY NIGHT WITH A FEW
FLUCTUATIONS AS THEY TRY TO HANDLE INTERACTION WITH ANOTHER CLOSED
LOW UPSTREAM. STRONGEST UPPER-LEVEL FORCING WILL REMAIN WEST AND
NORTHWEST OF US BUT THERE WILL BE ENOUGH MOISTURE AND LIFT FOR
LIKELY RAIN CHANCES MOVING FROM SW TO NE SATURDAY AFTERNOON AND
SATURDAY NIGHT. BEST UPPER-LEVEL FORCING WILL GENERALLY BE ACROSS
THE WESTERN COUNTIES WITH HIGHEST PW VALUES IN THE EASTERN
COUNTIES. RAINFALL AMOUNTS ARE NOT EXPECTED TO BE HEAVY. A FEW
STRONGER STORMS ARE POSSIBLE AT ANY POINT FRIDAY THROUGH SATURDAY
NIGHT GIVEN THE INSTABILITY AND SOME SHEAR BUT THE SEVERE THREAT
REMAINS VERY LOW.

THIS SYSTEM FINALLY EXITS THE AREA SUNDAY MORNING WITH DRIER AIR
MOVING IN BY SUNDAY AFTERNOON. A QUICK MOVING UPPER-LEVEL SYSTEM
WILL PASS JUST TO THE NW OF THE AREA SUNDAY NIGHT. MOISTURE WILL
BE LIMITED WITH THIS SYSTEM BUT THERE WILL BE ENOUGH INSTABILITY
AND SHEAR OFF TO OUR WEST FOR AN ISOLATED SEVERE THREAT OUT
THERE...AND SPC HAS OUTLINED A 15% RISK AREA IN THE ARKLAMISS.
WILL HAVE TO KEEP AN EYE ON ANY STORMS THAT TRY TO MAKE IT TO OUR
NW COUNTIES BY EVENING BUT LIMITED MOISTURE AS INDICATED BY PW
VALUES AROUND AN INCH MAKES THIS UNCERTAIN.

THIS SYSTEM WILL THEN EXIT THE AREA AND A DRY AND WARM DAY IS
EXPECTED ON TUESDAY WITH MANY LOCATIONS REACHING 80 DEGREES.
MODELS SEEM TO BECOMING INTO BETTER AGREEMENT ON A COLD FRONT
MOVING IN WEDNESDAY AND WEDNESDAY NIGHT. WITH STEEP MID-LEVEL
LAPSE RATES...DECENT CAPE VALUES...AND ADEQUATE SHEAR THIS SYSTEM
WILL BE WATCHED FOR A SEVERE THREAT OVER THE NEXT COUPLE DAYS
THOUGH UPPER-LEVEL SUPPORT MAY BE LACKING.

.AVIATION...
00Z TAF DISCUSSION.

QUITE THE VARIETY OF WEATHER CONDITIONS CAN BE EXPECTED ACROSS
CENTRAL ALABAMA TAF LOCATIONS OVER THE NEXT 24 HOURS. LARGE RAIN
MASS HAS FINALLY MOVED INTO THE NORTHERN AND WESTERN SECTIONS OF
THE STATE...AND WILL IMPACT TCL...BHM...AND EET FOR AT LEAST
SEVERAL HOURS. THERE'S STILL SOME QUESTION AS TO HOW FAR EAST AND
SOUTH THIS RAIN WILL GET...AND WHETHER OR NOT IT WILL DIMINISH
AND/OR PULL BACK WEST. ALONG THE LEADING EDGE THERE'S A BRIEF
PERIOD OF GUSTY WINDS...UP TO 30 KTS. BUT THE PREDOMINANT
CONDITION WITHIN THE LARGER RAIN AREA IS VISIBILITY IN THE MVFR
RANGE...AND CEILINGS REMAINING ABOVE 3000 FT. OF COURSE...THE
LONGER IT RAINS AT ANY PARTICULAR LOCATION...THE BETTER THE CHANCE
THAT CONDITIONS COULD DROP LOWER THAN THAT. MY FORECAST IS BASED
ON A SCENARIO THAT BRINGS THE RAIN OVER TO ANNISTON AND
TALLADEGA...BUT NOT AS FAR SOUTH AS MGM OR TROY....WITH THE RAIN
BACK PEDDLING AND REGROUPING TO THE WEST IN THE SECOND HALF OF THE
FORECAST PERIOD. BUT...ALL IN ALL...DUE TO THE MODELS HAVING A
DIFFICULT TIME WITH THE OVERALL SYSTEM...FORECAST CONFIDENCE IS
STILL QUITE LOW.
