...New SHORT TERM, AVIATION...

.SHORT TERM...
(Today through Tuesday)
Issued at 105 AM CDT MON MAR 27 2023

Watching radar trends right now, there is an outflow boundary near
the I-85 corridor, with two main bands of showers and storms. The
southern band is more surface based and will need to be monitored
over the next several hours for any severe potential. Activity has
been on the weakening trend of the past several hours as the shear
has decreased over the area. There still is some decent MUCAPE but
even those have been decreasing. The band of showers and storms
along the I-59 corridor are more elevated with generally some
small hail at best and heavy rainfall at times. Will continue to
monitor for flooding until this band clears. Meanwhile a more
substantial cold front will move through the area during the
morning and then slide into the southeast by mid-afternoon. Most
of the rain should be out of the southeast by then.

However, the rain will still not be over for Central Alabama. A
quick moving upper level impulse will track along the Gulf Coast
overnight and into Tuesday morning. The models continue to show
that this will mainly impact the southern half of the area, with
the best chances along and south of the US 80/I-85 corridor. Low
level winds will remain from the northeast tonight and Tuesday, so
low level Gulf moisture should be cut-off and instability very
limited. The rain will move out of south central Alabama by late
afternoon Tuesday.

16

&&

.LONG TERM...
(Tuesday night through next Saturday)
Issued at 244 PM CDT SUN MAR 26 2023

Dry weather Tuesday night through Friday. A cold front will bring
some rain to the area Friday night and Saturday. Much more
seasonal temperatures Tuesday and Wednesday with highs in the
upper 60s to lower 70s. A chilly start Wednesday morning with lows
in the upper 30s far north to upper 40s south. Highs back into
the 80s by Friday.

58/rose

&&

.AVIATION...
(06Z TAFS)
Issued at 105 AM CDT MON MAR 27 2023

Showers and storms will continue to impact all TAF sites through 9
to 10z and then slide south through the day. Most of the activity
in the north will be ending by 12 to 14z, while MGM will see stuff
through 18z. TOI may actually begin to see showers by 10z and may
continue there until 21 to 23z. Activity will end after that and
skies will eventually improve to VFR late afternoon/evening.
Another round of showers and storms may move into the south (MGM
and TOI) Tuesday morning but will most likely remain just outside
of this cycle and the next.

16

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...

A cool front will push through Central Alabama today, ending the
rain from north to south. Min RH values this afternoon will remain
elevated. 20 foot winds will shift to the northwest 5-7 mph
across north Alabama, with west to southwest winds 5-7 mph across
the southern counties. Another round of rain will move across
south Alabama by early Tuesday morning, with rainfall amounts
generally less than one- half inch. Dry for Tuesday afternoon
through Friday.
