.UPDATE...

.SHORT TERM...
/Updated at 1122 AM CDT Thu Aug 27 2020/

Starting to get mildly concerned about the convective activity
developing in SW Alabama as it rotates northward through the
western portions of Central Alabama. As of writing it appears as
if Laura's circulation center is just a bit too far west to
include a threat of severe weather for this afternoon. The winds
in the lowest several km are still unidirectional. However, this
will need to be monitored closely later today as the main
circulation center begins to shift more east with time. It will
become a delicate balance between how far east it shifts versus
the forward northward motion through the afternoon and evening
timeframe.

We will maintain an outside threat for tomorrow as Laura moves
north of the area. There will be 30 to 35 kts of shear over the
northern half of the state, with a decent amount of instability
in the afternoon and early evening. This could certainly organize
any rain bands into supercellular structures with tornadoes
possible.

17/KLAWS

.LONG TERM...
/Updated at 354 AM CDT Thu Aug 27 2020/
Saturday through Wednesday.

The remnants of Laura will become absorbed into the polar jet
stream on Saturday and race eastward off the East Coast. A
trailing front will extend southwest from the western Carolinas
with a general confluence zone across Alabama. Some temporary
drying is expected across the northern portions of our area where
PWATs will fall below 2 inches. To the south, rich moisture will
remain in place. Low-level confluence should yield scattered to
numerous showers and storms with the greatest coverage along and
south of Interstate 20. This corridor of high rain chances should
shift northward on Sunday, with PWATs in excess of 2 inches
overspreading the area.

The above normal rain chances may continue for Monday and Tuesday
with low-level southwest flow and abundant moisture remaining in
place at the southern edge of 500 mb westerlies. A fairly strong
trough could dig toward the Lower Mississippi Valley on Wednesday,
pulling the focus for activity back to the west and away from
Central Alabama.

87/Grantham

&&

.AVIATION...
18Z TAF Discussion.

Widespread convection is expected to develop in the far western
CWA as TS Laura continues its inland progression this afternoon
and evening. As the storm becomes more mid-latitude with time,
additional showers and storms are expected across the remainder of
the CWA, although the coverage will be somewhat more limited.
Lower cigs can also be expected especially through the overnight
hours with a few showers possible.

17/KLAWS

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...

A tropical air mass will remain over Central Alabama for the next
few days with high RH values. Rain chances of 30-50 percent today
will increase to 60-80 percent for Friday, and the wet pattern
should continue into the weekend. South to southwest winds are
expected over the forecast period.
