Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Birmingham AL
1252 PM CDT Fri Apr 19 2019

.UPDATE...
For 18Z Aviation.

&&

.SHORT TERM...
Today through Saturday.

As this initial line moves out, we will begin to transition to
the main upper low that will slide through the area. The main
vorticity max with this upper low works into the west between 10am
and 1pm and then works slowly east. Even though the rain will be
light there is a very high chance that areas will measure at least
0.01 so will go with likely and definite rain chances for the
afternoon. Rainfall could reach up to a quarter of inch the far
northwest along with the persistent rain. Temperatures will
struggle to get out of the 40s in the northwest and then the 50s
across the rest of the north. In fact as the upper low swings in
this afternoon, we may see temperatures drop earlier than a
typical day. Tonight the upper low swings out of the western half
of the area before exiting by Saturday morning.

Conditions rapidly improve on Saturday morning and will see sunny
skies across the area by the afternoon. Highs will be in the upper
50s in the northeast with low to mid 60s elsewhere.

16

.LONG TERM...
Sunday through Thursday.

Sunday morning will start out on the cool side with readings
generally in the low 40s. Areas in the north may drop into the
upper 30s. Temperatures will warm quite nicely though during the
day Sunday along with plenty of sunshine. Highs will be in the 70s
to near 80 degrees in the south. Dry weather will continue through
Wednesday morning. Highs will warm a touch each day with Tuesday
in the low to mid 80s.

The warming trend Wednesday across much of the area, but a front
will try to work into the northern portions of the area. There
really is not much of push behind the front so it will likely
stall and wash out across the north by Friday, so the warming
trend will continue through Friday. Will also see the next storm
system work into the area by Friday afternoon. Will need to watch
the trends on this system to see if there will be any potential
for strong to severe storms, so stay tuned.

.AVIATION...
18Z TAF Discussion.

Upper level low is rotating across the area today, with periods of
light rain/drizzle. Expect an increase in shower coverage through
the afternoon, especially at northern terminals, as well as an
increase in gusty westerly winds.  The combination of low clouds and
reduced vis within rain showers will result in MVFR conditions.
Brief periods of IFR conditions cannot be ruled out.

Winds take a slight turn, becoming more west southwesterly and
diminish this evening, although expect sustained winds to remain at
10-12kts overnight. Shower coverage will gradually decrease as the
upper low pulls east of the area, but expect a period of IFR cigs
across the north. With sunrise Saturday morning, cigs begin to lift
and southwesterly winds increase.

14

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...

Winds will be generally northwesterly today with the upper low
swinging through. Speeds gradually decrease, with 20ft winds
remaining at 12-15 mph through Friday afternoon. Low clouds are
possible this morning and into the afternoon, along with light
rain showers through the day.

Drier air will spread into the area by the weekend, with RH values
falling into the 30 percent range Saturday and Sunday afternoons.
