Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Birmingham AL
607 PM CST Wed Feb 7 2018

.UPDATE...
For 00Z Aviation.

&&

.SHORT TERM...
Through Tonight.

A well organized squall line with bow echoes tracked across
central Alabama early this morning. Damage reports indicate that
some of the damage may have been caused by tornadoes. A cold
front has pushed to just north of Montgomery. Strong cold air
advection behind the front has dropped temperatures into the 40s,
with 60s south of the front. Most of the remaining showers were
along and south of the cold front, but an upper level short wave
trof over Texas could bring some light rain back northward early
this evening. The short wave trof axis will reach west Alabama
later this evening, and the remaining rain will exit the southeast
counties shortly after midnight. Clouds extend back to near
Memphis, so clouds will remain over central Alabama through the
evening hours, with clearing from north to south after midnight.

58/rose

.LONG TERM...
Thursday through Tuesday.

Thursday will present the best opportunity for dry conditions across
Central Alabama in the extended. The cold front will be to our south
as upper level flow briefly becomes more zonal. Drier air will
spread into the area as surface high pressure crosses the Ohio River
and Tennessee Valleys, and quickly to the East Coast by Friday
morning.

Low level winds become southerly and moisture returns northward
Friday as the upper level pattern amplifies in response to a trough
digging southward across the Rockies, putting Central Alabama under
a more southwesterly flow pattern. This increase in moisture and
isentropic lift will be aided by weak upper level impulses moving
across the area and result in rain chances each period through the
end of the week. The trough will enhance an area of low level
convergence, and a weak front will move into the area on Sunday. The
front does not do much to counter the moist pattern however, and
with southwesterly flow aloft and continued southerly low level
flow, rain chances will remain into early next week.

.AVIATION...
00Z TAF Discussion.

Front is through all TAF sites, but there are still some light to
moderate areas of rain behind the front that will affect the
MGM/TOI TAFs this evening as overall system pushes southeast. Any
IFR cigs should be gone by 3z. With MVFR continuing for many
through midnight, except across the far south (MGM/TOI) where MVFR
cigs could linger through around 9z as drier air slowly filters
in from the north. Northerly winds are expected to continue into
Thursday day, but possibly veer 20-30 degrees from overnight as
main surface ridge pushes into Eastern Conus from the Midwest. By
mid morning most except far south should be SKC.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...

Widespread rainfall and scattered thunderstorm are possible today
as a cold front moves through the area. Dry conditions return
briefly for Thursday. A wet pattern will set up for the end of the
week through the beginning of next week, with rain chances
mentioned each day. There are no fire weather concerns at this
time.
