AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE HUNTSVILLE AL
235 PM CDT FRI JUN 25 2004

.DISCUSSION...
S/WV CONTINUE TO PUSH EWD WITH UPPER CIRCULATION EVIDENT MOVING INTO
NORTH CENTRAL AL PER GWX. HEAVIEST RAIN WINDING DOWN GENERALLY WEST
OF I-65 AND EXPECT RUNOFF PROBLEM TO SLOWLY SUBSIDE THERE. EASTERN
AREAS MAY SEE ANOTHER HALF TO 3/4 OF AN INCH OF RAIN THROUGH EARLY
EVENING...BUT THESE AREA HAVE NOT SEEN MUCH RAIN DURING THE DAY
TODAY. COLD FRONT CONTINUES TO MAKE SLOW PROGRESS THROUGH WEST TN
AND WILL TRY TO MOVE THROUGH THE AREA ON SATURDAY. LOW LEVEL DRYING
LAGS BEHIND THE FRONT AND DOUBT IF THE FA WILL BE ABLE TO GET INTO
MUCH DRIER AIR EVEN WITH THE WINDS SHIFTING TO THE NW. MAIN FOCUS
FOR RAIN WILL BE JUST SOUTH OF THE AREA TOMORROW ALONG THE FRONT AND
WILL KEEP MUCH OF THE AREA DRY.

UPPER TROF OVER TX WILL BEGIN TO GET KICKED EWD SATURDAY NIGHT
HELPING FRONT TO RETURN BACK NORTHWARD. ETA SOLN APPEARS PRETTY
REASONABLE AND WILL GO WITH ITS GENERAL IDEA. WILL INCREASE POPS
SOME FOR SUNDAY WITH FRONT RIGHT OVER THE AREA.

FCST FOR MUCH OF NEXT WEEK REMAINS QUITE DIFFICULT. FEEDBACK ISSUES
IN GFS MAKE IT UNTRUSTWORTHY. DISCOUNTING THE SPURIOUS VORTS...IT
APPEARS THE WEAK FRONTAL BOUNDARY WILL REMAIN IN THE VICINITY OF THE
AREA FOR MUCH OF NEXT WEEK. THUS...THE CHANCE FOR SHRAS/TSRAS WILL
CONTINUE BUT WILL PROBABLY BECOME MORE DIURNALLY BASED.
