959 FXUS64 KBMX 030508 AFDBMX Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Birmingham AL 1108 PM CST Sun Nov 2 2025 ...New DISCUSSION, AVIATION... .KEY MESSAGES... Updated at 1105 PM CST SUN NOV 2 2025 - Below average temperatures are expected to continue through Monday, but will be replaced with a warm and dry pattern Tuesday through the end of the week. && .DISCUSSION... (Tuesday through next Monday) Issued at 1105 PM CST SUN NOV 2 2025 Northerly flow will continue into the region through the day today, with dry and cool air advecting into the state. Temperatures will be in the 60s this afternoon, with lows Monday night in the upper 30s for much of the area with plenty of cooling and clear skies expected. Though confidence is lower on needing a Frost Advisory. High pressure will develop and move across the southeast, with winds transitioning to out of the west and southwest by Tuesday. Moisture and warmer air will begin to slowly return, with a gradual warming trend beginning Tuesday afternoon through Friday (temperatures will be well above normal for this time of year through the end of the work week). By Wednesday, a weak shortwave moves across the TN River Valley with an 850 mb jet skimming the northern extent of the area. Winds could get breezy through the afternoon with a few higher clouds traveling by, but conditions should remain dry. Models are diverging slightly on the system(s) this weekend. A low pressure is expected to move across the Great Lakes with an associated frontal boundary moving through the Ohio Valley on the Friday to Friday night timeframe. Models are uncertain on how much this will influence the area with the system being so far to the north and the lack of forcing with the boundary as it trails through the state. However, there is a low chance for plenty of moisture and warm air for light to moderate scattered activity, especially Friday night. Have left a low end chance precip for the northern half of the area for now due to this uncertainty. A deep trough and associated strong low pressure system will move across the Ohio Valley after the low Friday night. There are several factors that could influence the amount of activity of the state, including timing differences between the two systems and how much activity is produced from the first system that would allow or not allow for additional activity with the second. 24 && .AVIATION... (06Z TAFS) Issued at 1105 PM CST SUN NOV 2 2025 Dry air will continue to move into the state with VFR conditions expected through the TAF period. 24 && .FIRE WEATHER... MinRH values will more or less settle in the mid 30-40% range through Wednesday, before slightly increasing into the weekend with increasing rain chances. Unfortunately, widespread rainfall chances are still limited, with drought conditions persisting across the region. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
