AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE HUNTSVILLE AL
911 AM CDT WED APR 27 2011

.UPDATE...MESOSCALE DISCUSSION AND UPDATE.

&&

.DISCUSSION...BUSY DAY ALREADY ACROSS THE TENNESSEE VALLEY WITH
SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE REPORTED EARLIER IN SEVERAL COUNTIES FROM
OVERNIGHT/EARLY MORNING QLCS AND HP SUPERCELLS. NEXT ROUNDS OF SCT
CONVECTION WITH ELEVATED HAIL CORES ALREADY TRACKING INTO NW AL.
STORMS ACROSS NRN MS HAVE SHOWN ROTATION...AND STORMS ACROSS NRN AL
HAVE STARTED TO EXHIBIT HP CHARACTERISTICS AS WELL.

LATEST SFC ANALYSIS SHOWS A COMPLEX LOW STRUCTURE FROM CENTRAL
INDIANA SOUTH TO THE ARKLATEX. THE ASSOCIATED COLD FRONT STRETCHES
SOUTH THROUGH EAST TEXAS. CLOSER TO THE HOME...THE EARLY MORNING
CONVECTION HAS LEFT A SMALL OUTFLOW BOUNDARY ACROSS OUR ERN COUNTIES.
WATER VAPOR IMAGERY AND PROFILER DATA SHOWS AN 80KT MID LEVEL JET
STREAK PUNCHING OUT OF THE ARKLATEX THIS MORNING. CONVECTION HAS
BEGUN TO FIRE ALONG THE APEX OF THIS JET STREAK. THIS WILL BE THE
AREA TO MONITOR THROUGH THE AFTN HOURS AS THE JET STREAK AND THE
ASSOCIATE U/L JET MAX PROGRESSES EAST. THE 12Z NAM SHOWS LARGE SCALE
ASCENT IN THE EXIT REGION OF THE H25 JET DURING THE AFTN. THIS WILL
BE COINCIDENT WITH MLCAPES ~2-2.5 KJ/KG AND LOW LEVEL HELICITY VALUES
IN EXCESS OF 600 M2/S2. THE ONLY MITIGATING FACTOR MAY BE RAIN COOLED
LOW LEVEL AIR DUE TO ONGOING CONVECTION...BUT THIS IS UNCERTAIN ATTM.

AM NOT PLANNING MAJOR CHGS TO FCST FOR NOW OTHER THAN TO TWEAK FOR
CURRENT CONDITIONS AND SHORT TERM TRENDS. TEMPS WILL BE HIGHLY
DEPENDANT ON BREAKS BETWEEN CONVECTIVE CLUSTERS...BUT NOT GOING TO
SWEAT THAT RIGHT NOW.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...HAVE ALREADY UPDATED EXISTING ADVISORY PRODUCTS AND THOSE LOOK
IN DECENT SHAPE. OVERNIGHT CONVECTION DUMPED LOCALLY 2 TO 2.5 INCHES
OF PRECIP ACROSS NW AL. COORDINATION ONGOING WITH LMRFC...AND GROUND
TRUTH PRECIP ALONG WITH EXPECT RAINFALL WOULD TAKE SEVERAL SITES INTO
MODERATE FLOOD. OVERALL...HPC QPF LOOKS PRETTY GOOD WITH 3 TO 5
INCHES FOR THE EVENT.

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 545 AM CDT WED APR 27 2011/

..HIGH RISK FOR SEVERE WEATHER TODAY...
..POTENTIAL FOR WIDESPREAD TORNADO OUTBREAK WITH LONG-TRACK
TORNADIC SUPERCELLS TODAY...

UPDATE...FOR 12Z TAFS.

AVIATION...
BAND OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WILL EXIT KHSV VCNTY BFR 12Z.  -RA/RA
WITH EMBEDDED CG LTG WL CONTINUE THRU 13-14Z BEHIND THE LINE.  A
BREAK IN THE ACTIVITY IS EXPECTED BFR ADDITIONAL THUNDERSTORMS DVLP
LATER TODAY WITH A HIGH RISK OF SEVERE WX.

DISCUSSION...A COMPLICATED SCENARIO EVOLVING TODAY WITH INITIAL
CONVECTION ASSOCIATED WITH SIGNIFICANT WIND SHEAR AND INSTABILITY
LIKELY MOVING ACROSS NORTHWEST ALABAMA BY 08-12Z THIS MORNING. THIS
ACTIVITY SHOULD RAPIDLY MOVE ACROSS NORTH CENTRAL AND NORTHEAST
ALABAMA DURING THE MORNING HOURS.

FORECAST MODELS ARE HAVING SOME DIFFICULTY HANDLING THE INSTABILITY,
WIND SHEAR, AND MCV'S MOVING WITHIN THE TROUGH ITSELF. HOWEVER, IT
DOES APPEAR BY CURRENT TRENDS, THAT UPPER LEVEL FORCING WILL BE
SUFFICIENT TO SUPPORT WIDESPREAD CONVECTION TODAY. TURNING TO
INSTABILITY AND WIND SHEAR, THE ENVIRONMENT WILL BE EXTREMELY
UNSTABLE...ESPECIALLY DURING THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING HOURS AHEAD
OF THE COLD FRONT. CURVED HODOGRAPHS AND WIND SHEAR VALUES (AT TIMES
EXTREMELY HIGH) ALONG WITH INSTABILITY PARAMETERS ALL SUPPORT THE
POTENTIAL FOR A WIDESPREAD TORNADO OUTBREAK ACROSS SOUTHERN MIDDLE
TN AND NORTH ALABAMA. JUST TO GIVE FOLKS AN IDEA OF WHAT KIND OF
VALUES WE ARE SEEING BTWN 17-00Z:

1) SBCAPES ARE FORECAST TO BE 2500-3500 J/KG
2) 0-3KM SRH IS FORECAST TO BE 500-700 M2/S2
3) 0-3KM EHIS ARE FORECAST TO BE 4-8 M2/S2 OVER PORTIONS OF N
CENTRAL AL.
4) SFC DEWPOINTS ARE FORECAST TO BE BTWN 65-69F (POSSIBLY INTO THE
LOW 70S) DURING THE DAY.

IN ADDITION, A LLJ OF 65-75 KTS IS FORECAST TO REMAIN ACROSS THE
AREA THROUGHOUT MOST OF THE DAY. THE SFC LOW ASSOCIATED WITH THE
COLD FRONT WILL ALSO MOVE JUST TO THE NORTHWEST OF NW AL FROM S AR
(12Z TODAY) TO CENTRAL TN BY 18-23Z MEANING THAT CELLS CLOSER TO THE
SFC LOW IN THESE CASES TENDS TO DEVELOP OR MAINTAIN TORNADIC
ACTIVITY. UPPER LEVEL DIVERGENCE LOCATED JUST TO THE NE OF THE TN
VALLEY IS ALSO QUITE PRONOUNCED.

THEREFORE, GIVEN ALL OF THE ABOVE INFO., IT DOES APPEAR THAT LONG
TRACK TORNADIC SUPERCELLS ARE LIKELY ACROSS THE TN VALLEY. DAMAGING
WINDS AND LARGE HAIL ARE ALSO LIKELY WITH THESE STORMS. THOUGH HAIL
APPEARS TO BE THE LESSOR OF THE TWO. IT IS DIFFICULT TO SAY EXACTLY
WHEN THE CELLS WILL DEVELOP GIVEN THIS MORNING'S CONVECTION, BUT THE
TIME PERIOD WHEN ALL OF THESE INGREDIENTS APPEAR TO COME TOGETHER
APPEARS TO BE BTWN 17Z-00Z.

AS THE COLD FRONT APPROACHES THE TN VALLEY, EXPECTING AND REMAINING
FAST-MOVING SUPERCELLS TO BE CONGEALED INTO A QLCS WITH DAMAGING
WINDS AND BOWING SEGMENTS TO FINISH OFF THE SEVERE WEATHER THREAT.
THE FROPA TIMING SHOULD BE BTWN 21-03Z ACROSS NW AL (ENTERING) AND
03-06 ACROSS NE AL (EXITING).

AS IF WE NEEDED ANY MORE THREATS...FLASH FLOODING IS ALSO QUITE
LIKELY WITH CELLS TRAINING ALONG THE SAME AREAS ALONG WITH PROLIFIC
RAINFALL PRODUCING SUPERCELLS WOULD ACT TO CAUSE A CHALLENGING
FORECAST PROBLEM. GIVEN THE RECENT RAINFALL OVER NW AL, THOSE AREAS
APPEAR TO HAVE THE HIGHEST THREAT FOR FLASH FLOODING. WILL LEAVE THE
FLASH FLOOD WATCH IN PLACE.

AS MENTIONED PREVIOUSLY, THE LLJ WILL BE QUITE STRONG TODAY WHICH
MAY CAUSE INCREASED WINDS ACROSS THE AREA. THUS, WILL KEEP WIND
ADVISORY IN PLACE AS WELL.

BEHIND THE COLD FRONT CAA SHOULD QUICKLY DRY THE ATMOSPHERE FROM THE
WARM AND MUGGY CONDITIONS FELT TODAY INTO COOLER AND DRY BY LATE
WEDNESDAY NIGHT INTO THURSDAY. DAYTIME HIGHS WILL REGISTER CLOSE TO
THE 70 DEGREE MARK FOR THURSDAY WITH SUNNY CONDITIONS ON THE
BACKSIDE OF THE TROUGH. OVERNIGHT LOWS SHOULD ALSO EXPERIENCE A DROP
INTO THE UPPER 40S TO LOW 50S ON THURSDAY NIGHT WITH DAYTIME HIGHS
RECOVERING INTO THE MID 70S BY FRIDAY WITHIN RIDGE BUILDING. THERE
MAY BE A BRIEF TIME PERIOD OF CLOUDS ON SATURDAY AS A FEW WAVES OF
ENERGY CROSS THE REGION ATOP THE RIDGE. OTHERWISE, CONDITIONS SHOULD
BE PLEASANT WITH HIGHS IN THE LOW 80S FOR BOTH SATURDAY AND SUNDAY.

BY SATURDAY, ANOTHER LONGWAVE TROUGH CROSSING THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST
INTO THE ROCKIES WILL APPROACH THE AREA ON SUNDAY. THE MED RANGE
MODELS ARE CONTINUING TO HAVE TROUBLE WITH THE STRENGTH OF THE RIDGE
OVER THE SOUTHEAST AND THIS IS LIKELY WHY THE TIMING OF THIS SYSTEM
IS CONTINUING TO SLOW THIS SYSTEM DOWN. FOR NOW, WILL TAKE A
COMPROMISE SOLUTION AND TAKE OUT THUNDERSTORMS FOR SUNDAY AND KEEP
THEM FOR SUNDAY NIGHT INTO MONDAY NIGHT.

810 AM CDT WED APR 27 2011

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

.DAY ONE...THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT...

A TORNADO WATCH IS IN EFFECT FOR NORTHWEST ALABAMA AND NORTH CENTRAL
ALABAMA UNTIL 200 PM CDT.

AS OF 800 AM...A ROUND OF SEVERE STORMS HAS ALREADY TRACKED THROUGH
THE TENNESSEE VALLEY DURING THE OVERNIGHT AND EARLY MORNING HOURS.
SEVERAL ADDITIONAL ROUNDS OF SEVERE WEATHER ARE LIKELY THROUGH THE
DAY AND INTO THE EVENING.

THE ATMOSPHERE WILL QUICKLY DESTABILIZE ONCE AGAIN THIS MORNING AND
THROUGH MIDDAY...CREATING A VOLATILE SITUATION ACROSS THE TENNESSEE
VALLEY TODAY. THE POTENTIAL FOR A SIGNIFICANT SEVERE WEATHER OUTBREAK
WILL INCREASE...ESPECIALLY FROM THE LATE MORNING INTO THE EARLY
EVENING. CLUSTERS OF SEVERE STORMS ARE EXPECTED TO FORM AHEAD
OF...AND ALONG A STRONG COLD FRONT AND MOVE RAPIDLY ACROSS THE
REGION. A POTENTIAL FOR STRONG...LONG TRACK TORNADOES EXISTS...IN
ADDITION TO DAMAGING WINDS...LARGE HAIL AND VERY HEAVY RAINFALL.
RESIDENTS ACROSS THE TENNESSEE VALLEY ARE URGED TO REMAIN ALERT FOR
LATER STATEMENTS AND POSSIBLE WARNINGS.

THE HEAVY RAINFALL FROM THESE THUNDERSTORMS IS EXPECTED TO INCREASE
THE POTENTIAL FOR FLASH FLOODING...WHICH WILL EVENTUALLY EVOLVE
INTO A SMALL STREAM AND RIVER FLOODING EVENT OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS.
PLEASE REFER TO THE FLASH FLOOD WATCH FOR FURTHER INFORMATION ON THIS
THREAT. ALSO...WINDS OUTSIDE OF THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY WILL LIKELY
REACH ADVISORY CRITERIA...THEREFORE A WIND ADVISORY WILL BE IN EFFECT
THROUGH 8 PM WEDNESDAY EVENING.

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

THERE IS ANOTHER CHANCE FOR THUNDERSTORMS LATE THIS WEEKEND...AS
ANOTHER COLD FRONT PUSHES ACROSS THE AREA.

.SPOTTER CALL TO ACTION STATEMENT...

ACTIVATION OF STORM SPOTTERS AND EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT PERSONNEL IS
EXPECTED FOR MUCH OF TODAY AND THIS EVENING.
