AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BIRMINGHAM AL 1237 PM CDT TUE JUN 12 2007 .UPDATE...FOR AVIATION DISCUSSION. && .DISCUSSION...DID SOME MINOR CHANGES TO SKY COVER AND TEMPERATURES MAINLY ACROSS THE EASTERN SECTIONS. AS WE MOVE INTO AND THROUGH THE AFTERNOON...EXPECT ISOLATED TO SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS TO DEVELOP ACROSS THE EASTERN THIRD. CURRENT FORECAST HANDLES THIS JUST FINE. UPDATE ALREADY OUT. KSL && .AVIATION...18Z TAF DISCUSSION. NO WIDESPREAD AREAS OF IMPACT WEATHER EXPECTED OVER THE NEXT 24 HOURS...BUT THERE ARE A COUPLE SMALL ISSUES TO KEEP AN EYE ON. HAZE REMAINS A BIT OF A PROBLEM...ESPECIALLY AROUND ANB. HAVE GONE WITH A LARGELY PERSISTENCE BASED FORECAST FOR THE HAZE. VISIBILITY RESTRICTIONS SHOULD REACH THEIR PEAK AROUND 11-13Z...AND (EXCEPT FOR PERHAPS ANB) SHOULD REMAIN IN THE MVFR CATEGORY AT WORST. ISOLATED TO SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED TO DEVELOP THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING. AT THIS TIME...I DONT SEE ANY ONE LOCATION WITH ANY MORE THAN A 20-30 PERCENT CHANCE OF RAIN. HAVE THEREFORE LEFT THUNDERSTORMS OUT OF THE TAFS FOR NOW...BUT MAY NEED TO AMEND THINGS ONCE STORMS DO DEVELOP. SHORTWAVE ENERGY DROPPING SOUTHWARD FROM THE VIRGINIAS INTO THE SOUTHEAST STATES COULD ACTUALLY CAUSE THUNDERSTORMS TO DEVELOP/CONTINUE LONGER THAN TYPICAL INTO THE EVENING AND OVERNIGHT HOURS. LOCATIONS WITH THE BEST CHANCES STORMS (AND POSSIBLE EVENTUAL AMENDMENTS) ARE ANB...MGM...AND TOI. /61/ && .BMX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... AL...NONE. &&
