...Freezing Temperatures Possible Tonight and Tomorrow Night...

.A colder airmass will remain over Central Alabama tonight, 
putting the northern two thirds of the area generally at or below
freezing early Wednesday morning. Further south, temperatures 
will stay above freezing for most of the area but will still be in
the low to mid 30s, resulting in patchy frost. There could be a 
few spots in the south that drop to 32 degrees but those will be 
more localized than across the north. Temperatures will drop into
the 27 to 34 degree range again Thursday morning.

Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Birmingham AL
1217 AM CDT Tue Mar 13 2018

.UPDATE...
For 06Z Aviation.

&&

.SHORT TERM...

No changes to the current forecast. Surface low pressure moves
away from the area as high pressure builds in. This reduces the
gradient enough that the wind will subside. We have already seen
the winds beginning to decrease somewhat west, but since gust are
still occurring, will leave advisory for the entire area until
sunset.

These same winds will also subside overnight. Some light winds
still expected and the combination of the cold air advection and
lighter winds will allow temperatures to drop to near freezing
for large part of north central Alabama. Did not change the
configuration of the Freeze Warning overnight. Outside the warning
area, temperatures still into the 30s with some patchy frost.

Minor tweaks the remainder of the period with same extended issues
on this run.

75

Previous short-term discussion:Today and Tonight.

As of 3 am the cold front has almost exited the forecast area and
the best rainfall coverage has ended. We now shift our eyes to the
upper low that will begin to swing into the area this morning.
Overall colder and drier air will filter in behind the front. Most
of the wrap around moisture associated with the upper low, will
remain north of Central Alabama through the early morning. If a few
showers do move through the northern portion of the area, profiles
just off the surface will be cold enough to support a light
rain/snow shower. Chances are low and uncertainty high, and will
only carry slight chance to chance wording. Ground temperatures are
too warm for any accumulation, and no impacts from any light snow
showers/flurries are expected.

With the upper low swinging through, winds will pick up quite a bit
today, so a wind advisory will be issued to account for the winds of
20 to 30 mph and higher gusts. These winds will calm down quite
substantially this evening and the colder airmass will begin to
settle down into the area. At this point took the consensus of the
short term models and knocked a couple of degrees off of that for
the lows tonight.  This puts the northern half of the area generally
at or below freezing, thus a freeze warning will be issued. Further
south, temperatures will stay above freezing for most of the area
but will still be in the low to mid 30s. Dewpoints will remain above
30 in these areas so patchy frost is possible. So a Frost advisory
will be issued for the south as well. There could be a few spots in
the south that drop to 32 degrees but those will be more isolated
than across the north.

16

.LONG TERM...
Tuesday through Monday.

Seasonably chilly conditions will continue Tuesday and Wednesday
under deep layer northerly to northwesterly flow. A highly amplified
pattern will be present over the CONUS with one longwave trough
moving onshore along the West Coast and another longwave trough over
the eastern CONUS, with a ridge located over the Rockies/High
Plains. An upper low will drift eastward from the eastern Great
Lakes to the Northeast, while a 'nor'easter occludes near the
Canadian Maritimes and high pressure moves from the northern High
Plains to the Lower Mississippi Valley. Cold air advection will not
be quite as strong Tuesday as today, but highs will still remain in
the 50s. A shortwave moving down the back side of the trough will
bring a few mid-level clouds during the day on Tuesday and a
reinforcing shot of cold air for Tuesday night. There will still be
a bit of a pressure gradient over the area Tuesday night allowing
for some light northerly winds, but with clear skies and a very dry
air mass still think temperatures should cool efficiently (as they
did even with some gradient winds last Thursday morning) with cold
air advection also assisting. Therefore expect a freeze for all but
the most unsheltered locations, and the cooler northern and eastern
locations will have no trouble reaching the 20s. A freeze watch has
subsequently been issued for Tuesday night for all of Central
Alabama.

The brunt of the coldest air at 850mb will be east of the area, but
850 mb temperatures Wednesday morning will still be as cold as -8C
in the northeastern counties. This results in cooler high
temperatures for Wednesday with some upper 40s in the typically
cooler northeastern/eastern locations. The surface high will be
centered near the Alabama Gulf Coast Wednesday night. This along
with a clipper low over the Great Lakes causes the low-level wind
direction to become more westerly, but considering the placement
of the high and associated calmer winds radiational cooling
conditions will overall be the best on this night. A freeze watch
will likely be issued for Wednesday night in future updates.

A return to more typical spring weather will begin to occur on
Thursday. The western CONUS trough will move the central CONUS
ridge and eastern CONUS trough eastward. Southwest winds and
rising 500mb heights should allow temperatures to warm up nicely
into the 60s by Thursday afternoon. Milder conditions are expected
Thursday night with southwest winds and some high clouds, but the
typically cooler eastern locations could still reach the 30s for
lows with 40s elsewhere.

Details remain uncertain, but the pattern becomes more unsettled
by Friday. Uncertainty is due to varied handling of shortwaves
ejecting out of the western CONUS trough. A surface low is
expected to develop in the lee of the Colorado Front Range on
Thursday, causing a frontal boundary to sharpen as it extends
eastward across the Missouri and Ohio Valleys. This low and
associated shortwave aloft is expected to weaken as it moves
eastward but the ECMWF is slower to weaken it, which allows the
front to move closer to the area Friday through the weekend.
Meanwhile the GFS is weaker with this system and keeps the front
further north. This will determine rain chances and temperatures
Friday through the weekend. Starting off on Friday, an axis of
enhanced 850-700mb mean RH values combined with warm air advection
and increasing dew points should result in at least scattered
showers developing. The front will then serve as the main focus
for showers and thunderstorms Friday night through the weekend,
especially the further north you go. With some instability and
deep layer shear along with cool temperatures aloft, there may be
the potential for a few stronger storms over the weekend near the
front, but fairly weak low-level flow and lack of upper-level
forcing suggests nothing particularly organized at this time.

Models have been indicating that a low-amplitude trough and
associated surface low will move through the Central CONUS during
the Monday timeframe, but have shown variability from model-to-
model and run-to-run regarding timing and placement of this
feature, as well as lingering troughing over eastern Canada and a
potentially strengthening subtropical ridge near the Bahamas. This
system looks to potentially have more instability to work with
than previous systems, so we will keep an eye on the severe
potential as it gets closer. But right now it's too early to
speculate on any details based on the uncertainties with the
system itself and the system before it, and it remains just beyond
the 7-day HWO period.

.AVIATION...
06Z TAF Discussion.

Overall VFR for the next 24 to 30 hours. Winds have calmed down
to less than 5 to 7 kts area wide. Northwesterly winds will
increase again after 15Z to around 10 kts with gusts up to 20 kts,
before calming back down after 00Z.

16

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...

Rain-free conditions are expected through Thursday. RH values will
fall each afternoon due to a dry air mass but remain above critical
levels. 20ft winds will be weaker the remainder of the week,
generally below 10 mph. No fog is expected for the next few days.
KBDI values remain very low due to recent rainfall and will
likely remain that way with the upcoming rains, so there are no
fire weather concerns.
