IFR to LIFR ceilings become predominate across the southern and
central portions of the area overnight while further inland VFR to
MVFR conditions are expected. VLIFR conditions in dense fog are
possible near the coast. Conditions over the southern and central
portions of the area gradually improve to IFR/MVFR ceilings
Tuesday morning. Ceilings improve to VFR areawide from north to
south Tuesday afternoon into the early evening hours. Coverage of
showers and storms is expected to increase across the area
overnight into early Tuesday morning, then diminishes first over
interior areas later in the morning then over the remainder of the
area in the afternoon. /29

Ceilings lower to IFR-LIFR over most of the area overnight, with
VLIFR conditions in dense fog possible at the coast. Predominately
IFR conditions are expected for Tuesday morning, then in the
afternoon conditions improve to VFR over interior areas and to
MVFR conditions over the southern portion of the area. Mainly
isolated showers and storms are possible this evening followed by
increasing coverage overnight into Tuesday morning. Coverage of
showers and storms is then expected to diminish in the afternoon
over interior areas first, followed by the remainder of the area.

NEAR TERM...
(Now through Tuesday)
Issued at 246 PM CDT Mon Mar 27 2023

After somewhat of a break late this afternoon and this evening,
we expect one more day of scattered to numerous showers and storms
across the region again beginning late tonight and continuing
through much of the day on Tuesday. The weak upper level impulse
that helped spark the convection earlier today is moving east of
our area, thus the break in precipitation for most of the area
(expect for lingering showers over the western FL panhandle)
through this evening. By late tonight however, another series of
shortwaves will be approaching our forecast area from the west in
the nearly zonal flow aloft. This energy will aid in the
development of surface low pressure over southeast LA late
tonight, and then race quickly eastward across the northern Gulf
on Tuesday. This will bring the nearly stationary frontal boundary
that has been just to the north and west of our forecast area
down south across our area beginning late tonight and it should be
down along the coast by around midday Tuesday and then move well
offshore by the end of the day.

With the upper impulses and the moisture riding over the
surface boundary, should see widespread rain and showers redevelop
across most of the area by Tuesday morning and continuing through
much of the day. Much of the precipitation will be of more
stratiform on the north side of the boundary, but with the upper
level impulses will result in some embedded heavier showers as
well. We could get some training cells (from southwest to
northeast) as the overall area drops south. Some locations could
receive up to 2 to 4 inches of rainfall, and localized flash
flooding could be possible. The greatest probability of this
happening is over interior south AL (south of Highway 84) the
western FL panhandle north of I-10.

SPC still has a MARGINAL Risk of severe storms on Tuesday, but
this potential is looking less likely at this time as our area will
primarily be in the cool section of the system. There could be an
elevated rumble of thunder though.

By late in the day Tuesday the rain, showers and few storms should
be moving southward off the coast with slightly cooler and drier air
moving into the region from the north.

Low temperatures tonight will primarily be in the 60s, but a few
upper 50s possible north of the Highway 84 corridor. High
temperatures on should be in the lower 70s over all of the inland
locations, mid 70s along the coast.

A HIGH Risk of rip currents continues along the AL/FL
beaches through late tonight. /12

SHORT TERM...
(Tuesday night through Thursday night)
Issued at 246 PM CDT Mon Mar 27 2023

A brief period of dry and cooler conditions are expected through
the short term. Zonal flow aloft continues into Wednesday, before
upper ridging builds overhead on Thursday. Surface high pressure
over the Tennessee Valley shifts east through the period with
northeasterly surface winds gradually shifting to the southeast
by Thursday night. Subsidence from the high pressure will keep
conditions rain free through Thursday night. Northeasterly flow
should keep temperatures cooler during the day Wednesday with
highs topping out in the upper 60s and lower 70s. Temperatures
warm up on Thursday as the upper ridge builds in with highs
climbing into the upper 70s to around 80 degrees. Temperatures
both nights drop into the middle to upper 40s inland with lower
50s along the coast. /14

LONG TERM...
(Friday through Monday)
Issued at 246 PM CDT Mon Mar 27 2023

Upper ridging slides east of the area on Friday as a fairly strong
upper trough digs across the north central US. We should remain
mostly dry on Friday, but southerly flow will begin ushering
warmer air and moisture into the area. The upper trough will
continue moving east into the Great Lakes region over the weekend
and will send a cold front down into the area on Saturday. The
best forcing still looks to remain well north of the area, but
increased moisture and ascent along the boundary will result in
showers and storms returning to the forecast. Guidance begins to
diverge once the front pushes into the area with some models
showing the front stalling into Sunday and others pushing the
front out into the Gulf waters. For now, have stuck close to the
NBM with showers possible into Monday. Temperatures generally
remain above seasonal norms through the period. /14

MARINE...
Issued at 246 PM CDT Mon Mar 27 2023
A mainly light southerly flow prevails through tonight,
gradually becoming northerly on Tuesday as a cold front moves
through the area. The offshore flow strengthens Tuesday
night then diminishes again late Wednesday and becomes easterly
by late Wednesday night and Thursday. Fog will remain a
concern tonight into early Tuesday morning for bays, sounds,
and nearshore Gulf waters but these conditions will be improving
through the day on Tuesday after the front moves through. The low
visibilities will result in navigational hazards over the
near shore marine areas. /12

            THE TORNADO IS ESTIMATED TO HAVE TOUCHED
            DOWN NEAR LONDON ROAD IN NORTHERN CLARKE
            COUNTY, THEN PROCEEDED TO MOVE NORTHEAST.
            SPORADIC TREES WERE SNAPPED AND UPROOTED
            ALONG THE FIRST PART OF THE PATH. THERE WAS
            MINOR DAMAGE TO A WELL-BUILT HOME AND AN
            OVERHANG ON A NEARBY SHED WAS BLOWN OVER. A
            SKI BOAT HOUSED BY THE SHED WAS PUSHED BY
            THE WIND DOWNHILL AS WELL. A TRAILER IN A
            NEARBY FIELD WAS ALSO BLOWN DOWNHILL INTO
            THE WOODS. BEFORE THE TORNADO CROSSED
            SANDFLAT ROAD, TEN TO TWELVE TALL, HARDWOOD
            OAK TREES WERE UPROOTED IN A FIELD BEHIND A
            NEARBY HOME. THE TORNADO THEN MOVED ACROSS
            SOME HEAVILY-WOODED AREAS AND COW PASTURES
            AS IT APPROACHED KELLEY ROAD. SEVERAL LARGE,
            HARDWOOD TREES WERE SNAPPED AND UPROOTED AT
            THIS POINT. FURTHERMORE, A LARGE SHED WAS
            OVERTURNED ON ITS ROOF. THE TORNADO
            CONTINUED TO THE NORTHEAST, LIFTING JUST
            NORTHEAST OF HIGHWAY 43.
