AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BIRMINGHAM AL
240 PM CDT THU JUL 14 2005

.SHORT TERM...(TONIGHT THRU SUNDAY)
CONVECTION IS DEVELOPING AS EXPECTED ALONG TWO PRIMARY BOUNDARIES.
AIRMASS WILL BE WORKED OVER QUICKER ACROSS SOUTHERN COUNTIES AS
TSTMS DEVELOPED MUCH EARLIER THAN CONVECTION ACROSS NORTHERN
COUNTIES.  BEST CHANCE OF RAIN THIS EVENING WILL BE ACROSS
NORTHERN COUNTIES AS LINE OF STORMS CURRENTLY MOVING INTO
NORTHERN PORTIONS OF COUNTY WARNING AREA CONTINUES TO MOVE
SOUTHWARD.  AS PER PREVIOUS NIGHTS...MOST OF THE CONVECTION WILL
DISSIPATE BEFORE MIDNIGHT BUT ISOLATED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS
WILL CONTINUE AFTER MIDNIGHT.  A LEAST ONE ACTIVE DAY OF TSTMS
ON TAP FOR TOMORROW. UPPER TROF AXIS EXTENDING SOUTHWEST FROM
UPPER LOW WILL GET HUNG UP ALONG THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER AS UPPER
RIDGE OVER THE EASTERN SEABOARD SHIFTS WESTWARD.  THE RIDGE SHOULD
MOVE FAR ENOUGH TO THE WEST BY SUNDAY TO RESULT IN A DECREASE IN
TSTM ACTIVITY ACROSS CENTRAL ALABAMA.

DUE TO VERY TROPICAL AIRMASS ACROSS AREA WITH DEWPOINTS IN THE
MID 70S...TEMPERATURES WILL BE ABOVE NORMAL AT NIGHT AND SLIGHTLY
BELOW NORMAL DURING THE DAY.  DUE TO BUILDING UPPER RIDGE THIS
WEEKEND...HIGHS WILL BE BACK TO AVERAGE MID JULY READINGS BY
SUNDAY.

.LONG TERM...(MONDAY THRU THURSDAY)
NOT MUCH CHANGE IN THE UPPER LEVEL PATTERN ACROSS THE REGION WITH
WITH A BROAD UPPER RIDGE ACROSS THE SOUTHERN UNITED STATES.  DUE
