AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BIRMINGHAM AL
628 AM CDT TUE APR 12 2016

.UPDATE...
FOR 12Z AVIATION.

&&

.DISCUSSION...

CURRENTLY WATCHING THE COLD FRONT SLOWLY SLIDE SOUTH THIS EARLY
MORNING. THERE ARE A FEW SHOWERS RIGHT ALONG THE FRONT BUT MOST OF
THE ACTIVITY IS 2 TO 3 COUNTIES SOUTH OF THE FRONT. THUNDERSTORMS
ARE A GOOD 6 TO 7 ROWS OF COUNTIES SOUTH OF THE FRONT AND RIGHT
NOW GENERALLY SOUTH OF THE FORECAST AREA. THAT DOES NOT MEAN WE
WILL NOT HAVE ANY MORE STORMS THIS MORNING AS THERE STILL SOME
LIFT TO DEAL WITH OUT THERE BUT THE POTENTIAL FOR ANY ADDITIONAL
STRONG STORMS IS QUICKLY DIMINISHING. RAIN CHANCES WILL REMAIN
FAIRLY HIGH THROUGH THE MORNING ACROSS THE SOUTH AS THE FRONT
CONTINUES TO SLOWLY DROP...BUT THEN WILL DROP SIGNIFICANTLY THIS
AFTERNOON AS THE FRONT PUSHES THROUGH. A LINGERING SHOWER MAY BE
POSSIBLE THROUGH 10 PM IN THE FAR SOUTHEAST...SO LEFT IN JUST A
SLIGHT CHANCE HERE.

THE FRONT WILL BE SOUTH OF THE AREA BY THE OVERNIGHT HOURS BUT
WILL STALL NORTH OF THE I-10 CORRIDOR. AS WITH TYPICAL STALLED
FRONTAL BOUNDARIES AND AN ACTIVE SOUTHERN STREAM A LOW PRESSURE
SYSTEM WILL DEVELOP ALONG THE FRONT NEAR NEW ORLEANS BY WEDNESDAY
MORNING AND THEN SWING INTO THE AREA LATE IN THE DAY ON WEDNESDAY.
RAIN CHANCES WILL INCREASE DRAMATICALLY AFTER NOON IN THE SW AND
THEN AFTER 3 PM IN THE NORTH AND EAST. RAIN CHANCES REMAIN HIGH
WEDNESDAY NIGHT AS A GOOD PORTION OF CENTRAL WILL SEE RAINFALL
WITH ONLY AN ISOLATED THUNDERSTORM OR TWO. THIS LOW PRESSURE
SYSTEM EXITS DURING THE DAY FRIDAY OR SATURDAY DEPENDING ON THE
MODEL OF CHOICE BETWEEN THE GFS/EURO...SO RAIN CHANCES REMAIN
UNTIL THEN.

BEHIND THE LOW...HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD INTO THE AREA BY
SATURDAY/SATURDAY NIGHT AND THEN BUILD THROUGH MONDAY. THE EURO
KEEPS THE RAIN JUST TO THE WEST...WHILE THE GFS PUSHES IT BACK TO
THE PLAINS. THIS DIFFERENCE WILL BE DIFFERENCE OF TEMPERATURES
ONLY IN THE 70S OVER THE WEEKEND WITH THE EURO OR 80S WITH THE
GFS. BOTH MODELS HAVE BEEN CONSISTENT OVER THE PAST 2 RUNS WITH
THEIR SOLUTIONS...HOWEVER THE GFS HAS BEEN CONSISTENT FOR THE PAST
2 TO 3 DAYS. HAVE HEDGED THE FORECAST TO THE GFS SIDE OF THINGS
FOR NOW...BUT WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR THE TRENDS OVER THE NEXT
FEW RUNS.

.AVIATION...
12Z TAF DISCUSSION.

POST-FRONTAL IFR CIGS ACROSS THE NORTH WILL GRADUALLY RISE THROUGH
THE LATE MORNING INTO THE MVFR RANGE AND POSSIBLY VFR DURING THE
AFTERNOON. THE INFLUENCE OF THE FRONTAL PASSAGE AT KMGM AND KTOI
SHOULD BE LESS SIGNIFICANT WITH MVFR CIGS EXPECTED TO BECOME VFR
SOONER. NORTH-NORTHWEST WINDS WILL SHIFT TO THE NORTHEAST TONIGHT
IN RESPONSE TO ANOTHER WAVE DEVELOPING TO OUR WEST ALONG THE
STALLED FRONT. WITH LOW-LEVEL MOISTURE LINGERING...THIS SCENARIO
SHOULD BE FAVORABLE FOR MVFR/IFR CIGS TO REDEVELOP NEAR THE END OF
THE TAF PERIOD.

87/GRANTHAM

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...

RAINFALL IS DECREASING FROM NORTHWEST TO SOUTHEAST THIS MORNING
AND WILL CONTINUE TO DO SO THROUGH THE AFTERNOON. AN ISOLATED
THUNDERSTORM REMAINS POSSIBLE THROUGH THE DAY IN THE SOUTH. RAIN
CHANCES REMAIN IN THE FORECAST THROUGH FRIDAY THEN HOPEFULLY WE
WILL SEE SOME DRYING THROUGH THE WEEKEND.
