Area forecast discussion, Mar 24, 4:12 AM CDT, 24 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Birmingham AL 412 AM CDT Sun Mar 24 2024 ...New SHORT TERM, LONG TERM... .SHORT TERM... (Today through Monday) Issued at 412 AM CDT SUN MAR 24 2024 A surface ridge is currently centered from Quebec SWD into the Great Lakes and extends SWD across the remainder of E Conus. At the same time, an upper trough is situated across the WRN US with zonal flow currently into AL. This will transition to SW upper flow into AL by the end of the short term as an associated low digs into the trough SEWD then swings NEWD toward the mid section of the US. We currently have clear skies noted on satellite, but this will change as cirrus clouds increase today into tonight. Light NRLY winds currently will become ERLY this morning and SERLY this afternoon. The cooler air will be cut off as the surface ridge weakens and pushes EWD toward the Atlantic states. With that said, today should be a nice day with temperatures warming into the mid 60s to lower 70s across C AL. Winds will become gusty tonight as surface pressure gradients increase ahead of our next system. A surface low will deepen on the lee side of the Rockies and sag SE today with a front extending SWD from it. It is expected to cycle to the NE from E CO/W KS toward IA tonight into Monday. This will allow for our overall moisture to increase with increasing clouds tonight into Monday. Winds should pick up enough by 18z Monday to necessitate a wind advisory starting in the WRN counties spreading further EWD to more of the area by 00z. The rain should be knocking on our door by then as well, but will keep Monday (day) rain free for now. As for temperatures on Monday, highs will be similar thanks to the cloud cover. However, also because of the clouds, increasing dew points, and gusty SE winds, lows tonight should be around 6-14 degrees milder that this morning. 08 && .LONG TERM... (Monday night through next Saturday) Issued at 412 AM CDT SUN MAR 24 2024 Key Messages: - A line of showers and thunderstorms is forecast to move into Central Alabama Monday night. Locally heavy rainfall is possible which could pose a threat for localized flooding, mainly for areas west of I-65, where 2-3" of rain is currently forecast. - Severe weather threats are low at this time and generally limited to our southwest counties for a few hours early Tuesday morning, then tapering off across our far southern counties throughout Tuesday morning. - Strong non-thunderstorm (gradient) wind gusts of 35-45 mph are forecast Monday night into Tuesday morning. Wind Advisory in effect. A strong area of (mainly linear) convection is forecast to move into Alabama Monday night into early Tuesday morning, ahead of a SSW to NNW oriented cold front. This MCS is associated with a shortwave perturbation rotating through a broad trough across the central CONUS. While an occluded low pressure will be situated near Iowa at this time, a stout low-level jet (LLJ) is progged across the Southeast/Gulf Coast with 850 mb winds of 60-70 kts, and 925 mb winds of 40-50 kts. This will coincide with a 8-10 mb pressure gradient across Central Alabama, ahead of the MCS. As such, surface wind gusts of 35-45 mph are forecast Monday night into Tuesday morning, a continuation of gusty winds from Monday afternoon. A, expanded Wind Advisory will be issued for this. The main impact from convection is locally heavy rainfall. Latest QPF situates 2-3" of rain generally west of I-65. Localized flooding is possible in low-lying or poor drainage areas, particularly if some storm-scale bands/higher rainfall rates can orient more parallel to deep-layer flow. The weakening nature of the MCS Tuesday morning has led to a decreasing confidence for flooding across the remainder of Central Alabama. Furthermore, the system is forecast to remain displaced from favorable surface-based instability to support a meaningful wind or tornado threat early Tuesday morning. Most guidance continues to depict the warm sector pinching/tapering off by the early morning, and it certainly appears this will be a system dominated by kinematics. It's not uncommon to see gradient wind gusts being the dominant hazard in a scenario like this. The decaying MCS will progress eastward Tuesday morning and should be exiting our forecast area during the afternoon. A cooler, drier airmass will move in thereafter along with clearing skies. A broad mid- to upper-level trough is forecast to position across the central CONUS Wednesday morning with southwesterly flow aloft nearing the East Coast. This trough will eventually exit the eastern CONUS on Friday as high pressure centers near the Southeast by then. As such, stable conditions are forecast Wednesday through the end of the period with developing ridge and noticeable warming trend in the region Friday through Sunday. 40/Sizemore && .AVIATION... (06Z TAFS) Issued at 120 AM CDT SUN MAR 24 2024 VFR TAFs for the next 24 hours. Northerly winds should taper down some for the next few hours with surface ridging over E Conus. We currently are noting generally clear skies on obs and satellite. High cirrus will move into C AL today ahead of a digging upper trough over the W US. Surface gradients will increase in advance of the next surface system with winds increasing again and becoming ERLY this morning then SERLY for Sun afternoon into Sun night. Winds are expected to become with some gusty again by Sun evening. 08 && .FIRE WEATHER... Drier air is in the region today with 20 ft winds becoming easerly to southeasterly at 5-10 mph this afternoon. Minimum RH values in the 25-40% range are forecast. Moisture recovers tomorrow with wetting rains forcast Monday night through Tuesday afternoon. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
