AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BIRMINGHAM AL
1054 PM CDT TUE MAY 14 2013

.UPDATE...
FOR 06Z AVIATION.

&&

.DISCUSSION...

CRYSTAL CLEAR SKIES ARE PRESENT ACROSS ALL OF CENTRAL ALABAMA THIS
EVENING...WITH TEMPERATURES NOTICEABLY WARMER THAN THEY WERE AT
THIS TIME YESTERDAY. THE KBMX 00Z RAOB ALSO INDICATED MOISTURE
LEVELS ARE A BIT HIGHER AS WELL...WITH PWATS AROUND 0.70 INCHES.
SOUTHWESTERLY TO SOUTHERLY SURFACE FLOW WILL CONTINUE OVER THE
NEXT SEVERAL DAYS THAT WILL HELP TO INCREASE MOISTURE GRADUALLY
ACROSS THE SOUTHEAST. THE FORECAST TONIGHT LOOKS TO BE IN PRETTY
GOOD SHAPE...AND ONLY MINOR ADJUSTMENTS TO OVERNIGHT LOW
TEMPERATURES AND DEWPOINTS WERE MADE. WINDS IN SOME AREAS ARE
KEEPING TEMPERATURES EVEN HIGHER THAN EXPECTED. UPDATES ARE
ALREADY OUT.

.AVIATION...
06Z TAF DISCUSSION.

VFR THROUGH THE PERIOD. WINDS PICKUP AGAIN AFTER 15Z. MAY SEE
SOME MORE IN SCATTERED HIGH CLOUDS ACROSS THE SOUTH LATE AFTERNOON
AND THEN SPREAD NORTHWARD OVERNIGHT...WITH NO IMPACTS EXPECTED.

NOTE: THERE IS A VISIBILITY ISSUE WITH KEET THIS AFTERNOON.
LOOKING OUT THE WINDOW...THERE IS ZERO RESTRICTIONS. HAVE NOTICED
SOME CHANGE WITH IMPROVED VIS SINCE THE SUN WENT DOWN...BUT THERE
STILL IS NO HAZE OR FOG AT KEET AT THIS TIME. WILL INCLUDE AMD
LTD TO CLD...WIND AND WX THROUGH 0515/18Z. SHOULD BE RESOLVED BY
THAT TIME AS THE EQUIPMENT IS STILL WORKING.

NOTE: KANB HAS BEEN IN AND OUT WITH REPORTING OVER THE PAST 24
HOURS. HAVE TRIED TO DIAL IN BUT NOT GETTING IN RELIABLY...SO
ADDED /AMD NOT SKED/ TO THIS TAF. APPEARS THAT IT IS A
COMMUNICATION ISSUE AND WILL HOPEFULLY BE RESOLVED ASAP.
