Discussion...
After a cool start this morning...temperatures are rising quickly
with readings this afternoon expected to be near average for late
may. 1000-850mb thickness values and numerical guidance suggest
highs today will be a degree or two warmer than previously
forecast...and raised highs most areas. As the surface high slides
off to the east today...surface winds will become easterly
resulting in slightly cooler afternoon temperatures on the eastern
side of the state.

18z taf discussion.
VFR conditions are expected at all central Alabama taf sites for
the next 24 hours. Generally easterly winds this morning have begun
veering more to the southeast... and should weaken by this evening
as surface high pressure shifts further to the east. With dry low
levels over the state... not expecting any fog formation overnight.
