.DISCUSSION...

LET THE HOT AND HAZY DAYS OF SUMMER BEGIN

BIG BUBBLE NO TROUBLE? WELL...THATS USUALLY THE CASE. BUT BECAUSE
OF THAT BIG BUBBLE (RIDGE OVER THE SOUTHEAST) TEMPS WILL CLIMB
INTO THE UPPER 80S OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS. AGAIN...SOME
LOCALES MAY SEE 90. THOSE TEMPS COMBINED WITH MODEST LOW-LEVEL
MOISTURE WILL PROBABLY SPARK SOME ISOLATED SHOWERS AND STORMS...AS
IS THIS CASE WITH ONGOING CONVECTION NOW.

TEMPS WILL BE ON THE DECREASE AND POPS ON THE RISE BY WEEKS END
AND TO THE WEEKEND AS THE NEXT UPPER-TROF BEGINS TO PUSH THE RIDGE
OUT OF THE WAY. NOT THINKING THE WEEKEND IS GOING TO BE A
WASH...BUT THERE WILL BE SOME STORMS AROUND.

AFTER A FRONT SLIDES THROUGH SOMETIME IN THE SUNDAY TIME-
FRAME...THINGS SHOULD DRY OUT FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS.

THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR THE COUNTIES SERVED BY THE
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE OFFICE IN BIRMINGHAM.

.DAY ONE...(TONIGHT).

THERE IS A SMALL CHANCE FOR STRONG OR SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WITH
LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING WINDS ACROSS FAR EAST CENTRAL ALABAMA

THE COMBINATION OF UNSTABLE AIR AND SOME LIFT FROM A DEPARTING

THE LOSS OF DAYTIME HEATING AFTER 830 PM CDT.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...(WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY).

THERE IS A CHANCE OF STRONG THUNDERSTORMS AS A COLD FRONT MOVES
INTO THE AREA ON SUNDAY.  THE EXACT TIMING AND STRENGTH OF THE
FRONT AND STORMS ARE STILL UNCERTAIN AT THIS TIME.

OTHERWISE...NO HAZARDOUS WEATHER EXPECTED AT THIS TIME.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

ACTIVATION OF STORM SPOTTERS AND EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT PERSONNEL
