PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

MOST FLOOD DEATHS OCCUR IN AUTOMOBILES. NEVER DRIVE YOUR VEHICLE INTO
AREAS WHERE THE WATER COVERS THE ROADWAY. FLOOD WATERS ARE USUALLY
DEEPER THAN THEY APPEAR. JUST ONE FOOT OF FLOWING WATER IS POWERFUL
ENOUGH TO SWEEP VEHICLES OFF THE ROAD. WHEN ENCOUNTERING FLOODED
ROADS MAKE THE SMART CHOICE...TURN AROUND...DONT DROWN.

IN HILLY TERRAIN THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF LOW WATER CROSSINGS WHICH ARE
POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS IN HEAVY RAIN. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO TRAVEL ACROSS
FLOODED ROADS. FIND ALTERNATE ROUTES. IT TAKES ONLY A FEW INCHES OF
SWIFTLY FLOWING WATER TO CARRY VEHICLES AWAY.

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BIRMINGHAM AL
709 AM CDT SUN JUN 14 2009

.UPDATED...FOR AVIATION DISCUSSION.

&&

.DISCUSSION...

ALL IS QUIET SO FAR THIS MORNING ACROSS THE AREA. WE ARE WATCHING
ANOTHER MCS CURRENTLY OVER WESTERN ARKANSAS. THERE IS SOME
UNCERTAINTY WITH HOW THIS WILL PROGRESS OVER THE NEXT 12 HOURS BUT
CERTAINLY SOME POTENTIAL THAT WE COULD BE DEALING WITH THIS
FEATURE OR SOME OFFSHOOT OF IT LATER IN THE DAY. THEREFORE...POPS
WILL AGAIN BE SLIGHTLY HIGHER THAN GFS MOS.

CENTRAL ALABAMA WILL REMAIN IN WEST NORTHWESTERLY FLOW THROUGH
MONDAY GIVING US ANOTHER OPPORTUNITY TO SEE STORM CLUSTERS DEVELOP
AND MOVE THROUGH THE AREA. 00Z NAM AND EURO ARE INDICATING ANOTHER
IMPULSE TO MOVE ACROSS NORTH ALABAMA ON MONDAY SO SCATTERED
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS SEEM POSSIBLE BY MONDAY AFTERNOON.

THE REST OF THE UPCOMING WORK WEEK IS TO BE DOMINATED BY A
BUILDING SUBTROPICAL RIDGE OVER THE SOUTH CENTRAL CONUS. THIS
FEATURE SHOULD KEEP ANY CONVECTION CONFINED TO THE FAR EASTERN
COUNTIES AND LIMITED TO THE AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING HOURS.
DAYTIME TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED TO RISE INTO THE LOWER AND MID
90S AREA WIDE.

LATE IN THE WEEK AND INTO NEXT WEEKEND...THE MODELS ARE BEGINNING
TO BACK BUILD THE RIDGE AS A WELL DEFINED SHORT WAVE EJECTS INTO
THE NORTH CENTRAL PLAINS AND INTO THE OHIO VALLEY REGION. THIS ALLOWS
FOR A TROUGH TO DEEPEN OVER THE EASTERN CONUS...COOLING
TEMPERATURES AND INCREASING RAIN CHANCES. THE 00Z GFS SEEMS TO BE
A LITTLE QUICK WITH THIS DEVELOPMENT AND WILL TEND TO FOLLOW THE
EUROS TIMING. FOR NOW...WILL KEEP POPS IN THE SLIGHT CHANCE
RANGE WHILE BRINGING TEMPS DOWN TO NEAR CLIMATOLOGY.

&&

.AVIATION...12Z TAF DISCUSSION.

THERE IS A LARGE THUNDERSTORM COMPLEX ON RADAR THIS MORNING MOVING
EASTWARD ACROSS ARKANSAS...AND ENTERING NORTHERN MS AND EASTERN TN.
THIS COMPLEX COULD AFFECT CENTRAL ALABAMA LATER ON
TODAY...ESPECIALLY THE NORTHERN TAF SITES...IF THE MOVEMENT SHIFTS
MORE SOUTHEASTWARD. AT THIS TIME ONLY GOING TO MENTION VCTS DUE TO
LACK OF CONFIDENCE IN THE EXTENT OF THE COMPLEXS IMPACT ACROSS THE
AREA.

PATCHY FOG REDUCED VISIBILITIES FOR A BRIEF PERIOD OF TIME IN A FEW
LOCATIONS THIS MORNING...BUT VIS IS NOW AT OR NEAR 6SM AT ALL SITES.
THE EXCEPTION IS TCL WHERE THERE COULD BE ANOTHER HOUR OR SO OF
LOWER VIS DUE TO LIGHT FOG.

CIGS AROUND 1500 FT ARE AFFECTING THE NORTHERN SITES AT THIS TIME
BUT SHOULD MOVE OUT WITHIN THE NEXT FEW HOURS...WITH VFR CONDITIONS
EXPECTED FOR THE REMAINDER
