325 AM CST THU JAN 13 2005

.DISCUSSION...
IMPRESSIVE LINE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS NOW ALONG THE MS
RIVER...WITH AREA RADARS SHOWING SOME SCATTERED CONVECTION OUT
AHEAD OF MAIN LINE. COLD FRONT ROUGHLY EXTENDS FROM LOW PRESSURE IN
CENTRAL ILLINOIS TO SE TEXAS. UPPER LEVEL SHORTWAVE IS MOVING
EASTWARD FROM THE SOUTHERN PLAINS. TEMPS HAVE STAYED FAIRLY STEADY
THIS MORNING UNDER EXTENSIVE CLOUD COVER...WITH MOST LOCATIONS IN
THE LOWER 60S. WINDS ARE BECOMING MORE GUSTY WITH TIGHTENING
PRESSURE GRADIENT...WITH MOST AREAS REPORTING GUSTS AROUND 25 MPH.

COLD FRONT WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE EASTWARD TODAY...REACHING NW AL
AROUND MIDDAY. WIDESPREAD SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL OVERSPREAD
THE AREA DURING THE DAY...WITH RAINFALL AMOUNTS BETWEEN 1 AND 2
INCHES COMMON FOR MOST AREAS. PERIODS OF HEAVY RAINFALL WILL BE
POSSIBLE AS PWS INCREASE TO AROUND 1.5 INCHES...AND 85H JET OF 50
TO 60 KTS TRANSPORTS HIGH THETA-E AIR INTO THE AREA. DO NOT FEEL A
FFA IS WARRANTED AS PRECIP SHOULD MOVE THROUGH THE AREA FAIRLY
QUICKLY.

SHEAR OUT. HOWEVER...THE POTENTIAL CONTINUES TO EXIST FOR SOME SEVERE
WEATHER ACROSS THE AREA. SPC HAS ENTIRE FA OUT-LOOKED IN A SLIGHT
RISK...WITH IMPRESSIVE LOW LEVEL JET AND STRONG LOW LEVEL SHEAR WITH
HELICITY VALUES ABOVE 300. WIDESPREAD CLOUD COVER THROUGHOUT THE DAY

TO SEASONABLE VALUES. ONLY CHANGE TO EXTENDED WAS TO ADJUST TEMPS
DOWN SLIGHTLY FOR THE SUNDAY THROUGH TUESDAY PERIOD...AS LATEST GFS

500 AM CST THU JAN 13 2005

THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR NORTH ALABAMA AND PARTS OF
SOUTHERN MIDDLE TENNESSEE.

.DAY ONE...(TODAY AND TONIGHT)...

A STRONG COLD FRONT EXTENDED SOUTHWARD FROM LOW PRESSURE NEAR THE
GREAT LAKES TO COASTAL LOUISIANA. THIS COLD FRONT WILL MOVE EASTWARD
THROUGH TONIGHT...REACHING FAR NORTHWEST ALABAMA AROUND NOON
TODAY...AND NORTHEAST ALABAMA DURING THE EARLY EVENING. A STRONG
SOUTHEAST TO SOUTH FLOW EAST OF THIS FRONT WAS BRINGING UNSEASONABLY
WARM AIR TO THE REGION...ALONG WITH PLENTY OF GULF MOISTURE.

NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS PRECEDED AND ACCOMPANIED THE
FRONTAL BOUNDARY. THESE SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL BEGIN
AFFECTING NORTHWESTERN PORTIONS OF ALABAMA BEFORE DAYBREAK
TODAY...AND ALL OF NORTHERN ALABAMA AND PORTIONS OF SOUTHERN MIDDLE
TENNESSEE THIS MORNING AND DURING THE AFTERNOON. SOME OF THE
THUNDERSTORMS IN ASSOCIATION WITH A POSSIBLE SQUALL LINE MAY BECOME
STRONG TO SEVERE IN INTENSITY...WITH THE PRIMARY THREAT WIND GUSTS
TO 60 MPH AND DIME SIZED HAIL. THERE IS A SMALL THREAT FOR TORNADO
DEVELOPMENT...WHICH WOULD MOST LIKELY OCCUR NEAR BREAKS IN THE
SQUALL LINE.

HEAVY RAINFALL IS POSSIBLE ACROSS THE TENNESSEE VALLEY TODAY AND
THIS EVENING. RAINFALL AMOUNTS SHOULD RANGE FROM 1/2 OF AN INCH...
UPWARDS TO 2 INCHES. LOCALLY HEAVY RAINS...MAINLY ACCOMPANYING
THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY...MAY PRODUCE BLINDING RAINS...PONDING OF
WATER ON AREA ROADS... AS WELL AS MINOR FLOODING OF FLOOD PRONE
AREAS. RAINFALL TOTALS WITH THIS SYSTEM SHOULD NOT BE SUFFICIENT TO
CAUSE WIDESPREAD FLOODING OR FLASH FLOODING.

WINDS THROUGH THE LATE AFTERNOON WILL BE BREEZY OUT OF THE SOUTH IN
THE 15 TO 25 MPH RANGE. SOME GUSTS TO 40 MPH ARE POSSIBLE...
ESPECIALLY IN THE HIGHER TERRAIN. A LAKE WIND ADVISORY HAS BEEN
EXTENDED UNTIL 4 PM CST FOR ALL OF NORTHERN ALABAMA AND PORTIONS OF
SOUTHERN MIDDLE TENNESSEE.

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

THE PROBABILITY OF HAZARDOUS WEATHER IS LOW.

THE MUCH WARMER WARMER WEATHER RECENTLY EXPERIENCED WILL END...AS
COLD HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE WESTERN PLAINS BUILDS EASTWARD.
TEMPERATURES INTO THE FIRST PART OF NEXT WEEK WILL REMAIN CLOSER TO
MID JANUARY LEVELS...WITH NO RAIN EXPECTED.

.SPOTTER CALL TO ACTION STATEMENT...
ACTIVATION OF STORM SPOTTERS AND EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT PERSONNEL MAY
BE REQUESTED FROM THE LATE MORNING HOURS THROUGH TONIGHT.

...STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ARE POSSIBLE ACROSS THE REGION
DURING THE MORNING THROUGH THE MID AFTERNOON...

...A LAKE WIND ADVISORY CONTINUES ACROSS THE AREA THROUGH 4 PM THIS
AFTERNOON...

A STRONG COLD FRONT APPROACHING FROM THE WEST WAS ACCOMPANIED BY
NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. THESE SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS
WILL OVERSPREAD NORTHWESTERN ALABAMA AFTER DAYBREAK. SOME OF THE
STORMS WITHIN AN APPROACHING SQUALL LINE COULD BECOME STRONG TO
SEVERE IN INTENSITY. STORMS THAT BECOME SEVERE WILL BE CAPABLE OF
PRODUCING WIND GUSTS TO 60 MPH AND DIME SIZED HAIL. THERE IS ALSO A
SLIGHT RISK OF VERY ISOLATED SHORT LIVED TORNADOES...WHICH WOULD
OCCUR NEAR BREAKS WITHIN A SQUALL LINE.

LOCALLY HEAVY RAINS ARE EXPECTED ACROSS THE TENNESSEE VALLEY
TODAY...WITH TOTAL AMOUNTS BY THE LATE AFTERNOON RANGING FROM 1/2 OF
AN INCH...UPWARDS TO 2 INCHES. THE HEAVY RAINS COULD CAUSE PONDING OF
WATER ON AREA ROADS...ALONG WITH LOCALIZED FLOODING OF FLOOD PRONE
AREAS. WIDESPREAD FLOODING OR FLASH FLOODING IS NOT ANTICIPATED.

BREEZY WINDS IN THE 15 TO 25 MPH RANGE WILL BE COMMON THROUGH THE
EARLY AFTERNOON. THESE STRONG WINDS HAVE PROMPTED THE CONTINUANCE OF
A LAKE WIND ADVISORY ACROSS THE REGION. PERSONS VENTURING OUT ON
LOCAL BODIES OF WATER SHOULD BE AWARE OF THE DANGERS POISED BY STRONG
WINDS AND THUNDERSTORMS.

TAKE ACTION TO SECURE LOOSE OBJECTS...SUCH AS TRASH CANS AND PATIO
FURNITURE...BEFORE THE WINDS INCREASE. MOTORISTS ON EAST TO WEST
ORIENTED HIGHWAYS...ESPECIALLY THOSE IN HIGH PROFILE VEHICLES...
SHOULD USE SPECIAL CAUTION DUE TO THE STRONG SOUTHERLY WIND GUSTS.

STRUCK BY LIGHTNING. PLEASE SEEK SHELTER BEFORE THUNDERSTORMS AFFECT
YOUR AREA.
