Area forecast discussion 
National Weather Service Birmingham Alabama 
240 PM CDT Sat Oct 11 2008 


Short term...tonight through Monday night. 


Upper low centered over the South Carolina coast will move slowly 
southwest through the period. East to southeast low level flow will 
persist...allowing limited Gulf and Atlantic moisture to be 
transported into the area. Will mention a slight chance of 
showers across the extreme eastern sections tonight...then mainly a 
slight chance of showers area-wide the remainder of the period. 
Any rain that does occur will be very light...with only one tenth of 
an inch or less expected. Main affect from this system will be 
continued low and middle level cloudiness. Overnight lows will remain 
in the 60s. Highs on Sunday lower 70s east to upper 70s west. 
Highs on Monday upper 70s east to lower 80s west. 


Long term...Tuesday through Saturday. 


Tuesday and Wednesday...high pressure will build into the area. 
Will forecast dry conditions and a nice warm up due to less clouds 
and more sun. Highs each day in the lower to middle 80s. 


Thursday through Saturday...weak cold front will approach from the 
northwest on Thursday and then gradually dissipates across the 
northern sections later Thursday night or early Friday. High 
pressure then builds in from the west Friday through Saturday. 
With only limited moisture indicated with this front...will keep 
probability of precipitation in the slight chance category for mainly Thursday and Thursday 
night. Still no cool or cold air in sight and afternoon readings 
will warm into the 80 to 85 degree range each day.

Aviation...18z taf discussion. 


Broken to overcast cloud deck continues to advect into the area from the 
east this afternoon. Should see the deck become more broken across 
the northern terminals...although ceiling heights will generally 
remain between 3-4kft regionwide. Clouds will hang around through 
the forecast period...filling in again tonight with a overcast deck 
between 2-3kft. Currently...looks like ceilings will not drop below 
MVFR.
