REPORTS CONTINUED TO INDICATE A CLUSTER OF SLOW MOVING THUNDERSTORMS 
PRODUCING FLASH FLOODING ACROSS A LARGE PORTION OF SOUTHERN MADISON

ADDITIONAL RAINFALL AMOUNTS OF BETWEEN 1/2 AND 1 INCH ARE POSSIBLE

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE HUNTSVILLE AL
313 PM CDT WED JUL 25 2007

.DISCUSSION...
UPPER CLOSED LOW OVR NRN OHIO WITH SEVERAL DISTURBANCES SPINNING
ARND IT. RADAR SHOWS A LINE OF STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS OVER
PORTIONS OF MID TN. THESE STORMS ARE SLOWLY MOVING SE TOWARDS OUR
CWA. COULD SEE A FEW SVR STORMS THIS AFTN MAINLY ACROSS OUR TN
ZONES. EXPECT THE TSRA ACTIVITY TO DIMINISH SHORTLY AFTER SUNSET.
HOWEVER SINCE IT IS DIFFICULT TO TIME ANY DISTURBANCES SPINNING
OFF THE UPPER LOW...WILL GO AHEAD AND KEEP LOW POPS ACROSS THE CWA
FOR OVERNIGHT.

THURSDAY/FRIDAY...PRETTY MUCH THE SAME WX SITUATION WITH MAINLY
AFTN/EVENING SHRA/TSRA. AGAIN...TIMING OF PCPN WILL BE TRICKY DUE
TO WEAK VORT MAXES SPINNING OFF OF THE UPPER LOW. WILL KEEP LOW
POPS IN FOR BOTH DAYS.

SATURDAY...BOTH NAM AND GFS SHOWS A WEAK CDFNT APPROACHING THE
CWA BY AFTN/EVENING. KEPT THE POPS FROM PREVIOUS FCST. ATTM THIS
CDFNT DOES NOT LOOK TO BRING MUCH IN THE WAY OF DRIER/COOLER AIR
(AFTN HIGHS ARND 90/MRNG LOWS NEAR 70 AND LITTLE OR NO PCPN).

SUNDAY THRU WEDNESDAY...GFS SHOWS THE UPPER LOW NOW OVER THE MID
ATLANTIC STATES/WEAK RIDGING OVER CENTRAL US...THIS PUTS THE BEST
CHANCE OF PCPN IN OUR EXTREME NERN ZONES. SUNDAY LOOKS DRY ACCORDING
TO THE GFS...BUT WILL KEEP POPS IN BUT REMOVE FROM SUNDAY NIGHT.
SINCE CONFIDENCE IS LOW THIS FAR OUT IN THE FCST...WILL KEEP
MONDAY THRU WEDNESDAY DRY.

615 PM CDT WED JUL 25 2007

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

.DAY ONE...THROUGH TONIGHT...

THE PROBABILITY FOR WIDESPREAD HAZARDOUS WEATHER IS LOW.

WIDELY SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE TO DEVELOP

UNSTABLE AIR MASS WILL ALLOW A FEW STRONGER STORMS TO
DEVELOP...WHICH WILL BE CAPABLE OF PRODUCING WIND GUSTS TO NEAR 50
MPH...SMALL HAIL...AND FREQUENT CLOUD TO GROUND LIGHTNING. THE SLOW
MOVING NATURE OF THESE STORMS WILL ALSO PRODUCE VERY HEAVY RAINFALL
IN A FEW LOCATIONS WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR PONDING OF WATER ON AREA
ROADWAYS.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY...

THE PROBABILITY FOR WIDESPREAD HAZARDOUS WEATHER IS LOW.

SLIGHTLY DRIER CONDITIONS ARE FORECAST FOR LATER IN THE WORK WEEK...
BUT AN APPROACHING COLD FRONT WILL BRING AN INCREASED CHANCE OF RAIN
TO THE CENTRAL TENNESSEE VALLEY FOR THE WEEKEND. SOME STRONGER
THUNDERSTORMS ARE POSSIBLE NEAR THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY...WITH THE MAIN
THREATS LIKELY TO BE GUSTY WINDS AND LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL.

.SPOTTER CALL TO ACTION STATEMENT...
