AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BIRMINGHAM AL 118 PM CDT FRI JUL 28 2006 .UPDATE...UPDATED FOR AVIATION AND FORECAST. && .DISCUSSION...UPDATED THE FORECAST TO ADJUST RAIN CHANCES ACROSS THE AREA. THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE TO DEVELOP ACROSS OUR NORTHWESTERN ZONES THROUGH THE AFTERNOON HOURS. HIGHER RAIN CHANCES WILL BE TO OUR NORTHWEST AND DECREASE DRAMATICALLY TO OUR SOUTHEAST WHERE HIGH PRESSURE WILL BE IN PLACE. THE QUESTION WILL BE HOW FAR SOUTH WILL THESE STORMS MOVE.
