AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE HUNTSVILLE AL
136 PM CDT TUE APR 3 2007

.DISCUSSION...
TEMPS ARE RANGING FROM THE UPPER 70S TO THE MID 80S WITH
DEWPOINTS IN THE LOW 60S. RADAR SHOWS SCT SHRA/TSRA MAINLY FROM
HUN AND POINTS EAST...PROBABLY DUE TO A WEAK MID LEVEL
TROF/OUTFLOW BOUNDARIES AND 80 KTS UPPER JET.

STRONG SFC CDFNT PUSHING THRU MO OUT OF A LOW OVER NRN IL. THINKING
FROM NOW THRU EARLY EVENING WILL BE THE BEST CHANCE OF STRONG TO
SEVERE TSRA...WITH DAMAGING WINDS AND LARGE HAIL. THEN AS CDFNT
APPROACHES NE AL BY LATE EVENING THE SVR THREAT WILL DROP OFF SOME
TO MORE OF GUSTY WINDS AND LOCALIZED HEAVY RAIN. AS THE CDFNT
MOVES SE ACROSS OUR CWA...IT WILL BEGIN TO FEEL THE EFFECTS OF AN
AREA OF HIGH PRESSURE OVER SRN GA/NRN FL. THIS WILL PROBABLY
LESSEN THE RAINFALL AMOUNTS OVER THE TN VALLEY WITH THE MOST RAIN
IN THE NWRN ZONES AND LESSOR AMOUNTS IN OUR SERN ZONES.

CDFNT THRU CWA BY WEDNESDAY MRNG WITH MUCH COOLER AND DRIER AIR
PUSHING ACROSS OUR AREA. DONT THINK FROST WILL BE A PROBLEM
THURSDAY MRNG DUE TO WINDS OF 5 TO 10 MPH. FRIDAY MRNG WINDS AND
CLOUD COVER SHOULD KEEP THE CHANCE OF FROST TO A MINIMUM. THE CLOUD
COVER ON THURSDAY NIGHT/FRIDAY IS DUE TO AN UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE
MOVING ACROSS THE AREA. ATTM BEST CHANCE OF FROST OR FREEZE LOOKS
TO BE THIS WEEKEND.

REST OF FCST LOOKS DRY WITH A SLOW WARMING TREND BY NEXT WEEK.
