.DISCUSSION...
CENTER OF IVAN CONTINUES TO LIFT NORTH-NORTHEAST ACROSS CENTRAL AL
THIS AFTERNOON. EFFECTS OF IVAN REALLY BEING NOTED AREAWIDE AT THIS
POINT...WITH MOST LOCATIONS SEEING PERIODS OF MODERATE TO HEAVY
RAINFALL AND WIND GUSTS ON AVERAGE 30 TO 45 MPH. HOURLY RAINFALL
RATES REALLY STARTING TO PICK UP OVER THE PAST COUPLE HOURS...
ESPECIALLY OVER AREAS SOUTH OF THE TN RIVER AND EAST OF I-65.
ISOLATED TORNADO THREAT REMAINS PRIMARILY CONFINED TO THE NORTHEAST
ALABAMA COUNTIES OF MARSHALL...JACKSON AND DEKALB...WHERE TORNADO
WATCH EXISTS THROUGH 8 PM.

THROUGH TONIGHT...IVAN WILL CONTINUE TO LIFT NORTHEAST FROM THE BHM
AREA THROUGH NORTHEAST ALABAMA. EXPECT THE STRONGEST WINDS TO PEAK
FROM LATE THIS AFTERNOON THROUGH MIDNIGHT AS WE REMAIN ON THE NORTH
SIDE OF THE SYSTEM.  A BRIEF PERIOD OF SUSTAINED WINDS OVER 40 MPH
STILL POSSIBLE GENERALLY ALONG AND EAST OF LINE FROM CULLMAN CTY
THROUGH MADISON CTY AND INTO FRANKLIN CTY TENN AND WILL CONTINUE THE
HIGH WIND WARNING FOR THE ABOVE MENTIONED AREAS. A WIND ADVISORY FOR
SUSTAINED WINDS OVER 25 MPH WILL CONTINUE WEST OF THAT LINE.

MODERATE TO HEAVY RAINBANDS WILL CONTINUE MOVING OVER THE AREA...
BEFORE TAPERING OFF FROM WEST TO EAST TOWARD DAYBREAK AS THE SYSTEM
QUICKLY PUSHES NORTHEAST INTO TN.  OVERALL GENERALLY LOOKING AT
STORM TOTAL RAINFALL AMOUNTS OF 2 TO 4 INCHES POSSIBLE OVER
NORTHWEST AND NORTH CENTRAL ALABAMA...AND PARTS OF SOUTHERN MIDDLE
TENNESSEE BY DAYBREAK FRIDAY...WITH UP TO 8 INCHES NOT OUT OF THE
QUESTION IN NORTHEAST ALABAMA AND FRANKLIN COUNTY TENN DEPENDING ON
WHERE THOSE HEAVIER BANDS SET UP.

FRIDAY...RATHER STRONG UPPER JET DIGGING ACROSS THE BIG BEND OF
TEXAS AIDING IN PUSHING IVAN QUICKER THAN PREVIOUSLY THOUGHT.  THUS
EXPECT EFFECTS OF IVAN TO QUICKLY DIMINISH BY EARLY FRIDAY AS IT
EJECTS  INTO TENNESSEE.  WILL TREND OVERALL POPS DOWNWARD FOR
FRIDAY...ESPECIALLY WEST OF I-65.  EASTERN AREAS MAY STILL SEE SOME
HEAVIER WRAP-AROUND PRECIP LINGER THROUGH THE MORNING HOURS.  WINDS
WILL CONTINUE TO BE GUSTY OUT OF THE NORTH (20-30 MPH GUSTS
POSSIBLE)...BUT SHOULD SLACKEN QUITE A BIT WITH TIME ON FRIDAY.

BEYOND FRIDAY...EXPECT A PERIOD OF DRIER WEATHER AS REMNANTS OF IVAN
PUSH WELL NORTH AND EAST INTO PARTS OF THE OHIO VALLEY/APPALACHIANS
REGION.  BECAUSE OF OBVIOUS TIME CONSTRAINTS TODAY...WILL NEED TO
LET SUBSEQUENT SHIFTS TAKE A CLOSER LOOK AT THE SPECIFICS OF EARLY
NEXT WEEK.  DO NOTE THAT LATEST GFS AND ECMWF AGREE IN RETROGRADING
THE IVAN UPPER LOW BACK INTO THE AREA SOMETIME EARLY NEXT
WEEK...WHICH COULD MEAN AN INCREASE IN CLOUDS AND A BETTER CHANCE OF
PRECIP AT THIS TIME.
