The upper level low over Arkansas will continue to push eastward 
through the overnight with the cold front reaching West Alabama 
around 12z. Eventually...most areas will see some rainfall tonight 
although it is probably taking a little longer than anticipated. 
Will make some minor adjustments for probability of precipitation and the timing of the 
precipitation as well as quantitative precipitation forecast. Temperatures look good with lows 
falling into the 60s. 






&& 


Aviation...00z taf discussion. 


Moisture will continue to overspread the area in advance of an 
approaching cold front. Expect MVFR conditions to develop through 
08z with IFR conditions developing after 08z. Numerous to widespread 
showers and isolated embedded thunderstorms will spread from west to 
east across the area through the period.
