Area forecast discussion 
National Weather Service Birmingham Alabama 
1201 am CDT Wednesday Aug 20 2008 


Update...for aviation. 


&& 


Discussion...scattered showers and thunderstorms have been 
persistent across the southwest sections in vicinity of dewpoint 
axis. Clouds also increasing from southwest to northeast across 
the area. Went ahead and increased probability of precipitation southwest and also 
mentioned slight chance probability of precipitation south and west overnight. Went mostly 
cloudy west with increasing clouds central sections. Raised 
overnight lows slightly based on more clouds and higher dewpoints. 


&& 


Aviation...06z taf discussion. 


An area of rain could approach the tcl Airport later this evening. 
Impact...if any...should be minimal. Still expect some haze problems 
closer to sunrise which will bring visibilities down in the IFR to 
MVFR range. Still not expecting a whole lot of precipitation 
tomorrow. Will continue to keep the forecast thunderstorm free.
