AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BIRMINGHAM AL
1213 PM CDT MON MAR 25 2013

.UPDATE...FOR MORNING TRENDS.

&&

.DISCUSSION...

TEMPERATURES WERE ADJUSTED SLIGHTLY LOWER BASED ON HOURLY TRENDS.
THE CLOUD COVER ACROSS THE NORTHERN TIER OF COUNTIES IS REALLY
CAUSING THOSE LOCATIONS TO STRUGGLE TO WARM UP. THINKING THEY
SHOULD HAVE A SHOT AT LOWER 40S IF THEY GET ANY SUN THIS
AFTERNOON. WINDS WILL REMAIN GUSTY. UPDATES ARE OUT.

&&

.AVIATION...18Z TAF DISCUSSION.

THE ONLY ISSUE IS WITH THE WINDS. THEY WILL REMAIN GUSTY FROM THE
WEST-NORTHWEST THROUGH SUNSET AND THEN TAPPER OFF TO AROUND 5 - 10
KTS. CLOUDS ACROSS THE NORTH REMAIN SCATTERED VFR THROUGH THE
EARLY EVENING. HOWEVER...AN APPROACHING SHORTWAVE IS FORECAST TO
CLIP THE AREA OVERNIGHT AND BRING SOME MVFR CEILINGS TO THE BHM
AND ANB AREA. BY MID TO LATE MORNING...WINDS WILL PICK UP AGAIN
FROM THE NORTHWEST BUT NOT QUITE AS GUSTY AS PREVIOUS DAYS.
