FXUS64 KBMX 271928 AFDBMX Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Birmingham AL 228 PM CDT Mon Oct 27 2025 ...New DISCUSSION... .KEY MESSAGES... Updated at 211 PM CDT MON OCT 27 2025 - Another round of rain is expected Tuesday night through Wednesday. Additional rainfall amounts of around 1" are likely with a medium (30-40%) chance of greater than 1" of rain in the northern portions of Central Alabama. - Patchy frost is forecast for parts of central Alabama both Friday and Saturday mornings. Those with frost sensitive plants will need to make preparations for the cold conditions. && .DISCUSSION... (This evening through next Sunday) Issued at 211 PM CDT MON OCT 27 2025 Cloudy and damp weather conditions will continue across central Alabama tonight, with an easterly low level flow. While the steady rain has pretty much ended, there's still bound to be some spots of light rain/sprinkles/drizzle around. Tuesday is forecast to be dry, but will still likely feature plenty of clouds. Our next weather maker will be another upper level low, the quickly digs into the lower Mississippi Valley and southeast states Tuesday night into Wednesday. Lots of lift associated with this cold core low will lead to roughly 0.50-1.00 inches of rain in the north half of central Alabama, to a couple tenths to under a half inch in the south. Conditions are finally forecast to clear out the end of the week. Surface high pressure will be centered right over us by Saturday morning. The clear skies, light winds, and colder air mass will likely lead to patchy frost formation for much of the area -- if not Friday morning, then more so on Saturday morning. /61/ && .AVIATION... (18Z TAFS) Issued at 1231 PM CDT MON OCT 27 2025 Looks like a period of MVFR (at best) to IFR meteorological conditions over the next 24 hours for central Alabama TAF locations. The most likely time frame for improvement into MVFR conditions would be between 18Z and 23Z this afternoon. After that, ceilings dropping below 1000 ft become more likely. While there may be some improvement in ceilings after sunrise Tuesday, computer model moisture profiles so suggest that ceiling levels are likely to stay below 1500 ft through the entire forecast period. /61/ && .FIRE WEATHER... An active pattern is setting up for the next several days as a couple of weather systems move through the area. Winds will gradually decrease today and will remain out of the east. Winds increase again Tuesday night into Wednesday as our next low pressure system moves in bringing widespread rain. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
