IVAN MESOSCALE DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE HUNTSVILLE AL
912 PM CDT THU SEP 16 2004

.DISCUSSION...
HEAVIEST AND PERSISTENT RAIN CONCERNS ARE OVER JACKSON AND DEKALB
COUNTIES AND ALONG A NARROW FRONTOGENETICAL BAND OVER EASTERN
LAUDERDALE, COLBERT, AND FRANKLIN COUNTIES.  THIS BAND IN PARTICULAR
IS PROBLEMATIC AS IT IS PRODUCING LOCALIZED, BUT VERY HEAVY RAIN OF
3-5 INCHES.  ALSO, THIS BAND MAY BE SOMEWHAT RESPONSIBLE FOR
DAMAGING WIND GUSTS AND WIDESPREAD TREE DAMAGE AND POWER OUTAGES.
THIS IS ALSO THE CASE IN THE EASTERN COUNTIES WHERE CREEK AND STREET
FLOODING IS BECOMING MORE AND MORE SERIOUS.  RADAR TRENDS SUGGEST
THAT JACKSON AND DEKALB COUNTIES WILL REMAIN IN MODERATE TO HEAVY
RAIN FOR AT LEAST ANOTHER 2 OR 3 HOURS, AND FLASH FLOOD WARNINGS
HAVE BEEN EXTENDED AND COUNTY FLOOD WARNINGS ARE BEING STRONGLY
CONSIDERED.

FORTUNATELY, THE 50KT 0-1KM BULD SHEAR AND 300+ M2/S2 SRH IS NOT
BEING UTLIZED FOR TORNADIC CIRCULATIONS, BUT A FEW CONVECTIVE CELLS
RAPIDLY DEVELOPED ABOUT AN HOUR AGO JUST EAST OF THE TRIPLE POINT
OF IVAN, WITH FURTHERN CELLS NOT OUT OF QUESTION.  THESE PARTICULAR
CELLS STILL BARE WATCHING.

DAMAGE REPORTS ARE SUPPORTING THE ONGOING HIGH WIND WARNING, BUT
OBSERVATIONS HAVE SHOWN A SLOW DECLINE.  VAD WIND PROFILE AT HYTOP
HAS SHOWN A SLIGHT DECREASE AGL.  WILL REVISIT THE HIGH WIND WARNING
AT 10 PM.
&&

.HUN WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
