AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE HUNTSVILLE AL
334 PM CDT THU JUN 9 2011

.DISCUSSION...
NOT MUCH HAS CHANGED IN THE OVERALL PATTERN OVER THE EASTERN HALF OF
THE CONUS OVER THE PAST COUPLE OF DAYS. DUE TO THE SLOW BREAK DOWN OF
THE HIGH PRESSURE CENTER THAT HAS DOMINATED THE SOUTHEAST...WE HAVE
HAD ANOTHER REPEAT OF AFTERNOON CONVECTION ACROSS THE APPALACHIANS
AND NEAR THE GULF COAST. EACH DAY FOR THE PAST SEVERAL DAYS THE
COVERAGE AND WESTERN EXTENT OF THE APPALACHIAN CONVECTION HAS
INCREASED...THEREFORE IT IS EXPECTED THAT ISOLATED TSRA WILL AGAIN
IMPACT THE CWA THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING.

THIS TREND OF AFTERNOON AND EVENING CONVECTIVE DEVELOPMENT WILL
CONTINUE OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS. THEN A SLIGHT CHANGE IN THE MID
LEVELS IS ON TAP FOR THE WEEKEND. MODELS INDICATE A MID LEVEL
SHORTWAVE ASSOCIATED WITH A WEAK TROF THAT WILL WORK ACROSS THE ZONAL
FLOW AND SLOWLY AMPLIFY AS THE TROF APPROACHES THE ATLANTIC. FOR THE
TN VALLEY...THIS TRANSLATES TO A WEAK FRONTAL PASSAGE ON SUNDAY WHICH
WILL BRING MORE NORTHERLY FLOW TO THE REGION FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS.
UNFORTUNATELY THERE IS NOT ANY BIG POST-FRONTAL COOL DOWN
FORECAST...WITH HIGHS STILL EXPECTED TO BE AROUND 90 DEGREES FOR THE
START OF NEXT WEEK. LOW END POPS WILL BE HELD THROUGH THE EXTENDED
PERIOD AS MODELS ALL POINT TO CONTINUED UNSETTLED WEATHER EVEN THOUGH
SOLUTIONS STILL DIFFER IN EXACT DETAILS OF CONVECTIVE DEVELOPMENT.

&&

.AVIATION...
FROM 18Z TAFS...VFR CONDITIONS EXPECTED OVER THE NEXT 24 HOURS AT
TAF SITES...EXCEPT FOR MVFR VIS DUE TO RADIATIONAL FOG DEVELOPMENT AT
KMSL BTWN 09-12Z. WINDS WILL TEND TO BE LGT SWRLY BECOMING LGT/VRB AS
A SFC HIGH SHIFTS OVHD.

&&

.CLIMATE...
FOR HUNTSVILLE...THIS HAS BEEN THE HOTTEST START TO JUNE ON RECORD. THE
AVERAGE TEMPERATURE FROM JUNE 1 TO JUNE 8 HAS BEEN 83.9 DEGREES THIS
YEAR...WITH THE NEXT HOTTEST AVERAGE TEMPS FOR THE SAME PERIOD
OCCURRING IN 1985 AT 82.2 DEGREES. AVERAGE HIGHS HAVE BEEN 96.9
DEGREES...WITH THE SECOND HOTTEST OF 94.8 DEGREES OCCURRING 100 YEARS AGO.

FOR MUSCLE SHOALS...THE SHOALS HAVE SEEN THE HOTTEST AVERAGE HIGHS
EVER FOR THE JUNE 1 TO JUNE 8 PERIOD (96.8 DEGREES COMPARED TO 96.0
IN 1925). BUT IT TECHNICALLY HAS ONLY BEEN THE SECOND HOTTEST START
TO JUNE THERE. OVERNIGHT LOWS HAVE BEEN COOL ENOUGH THAT THE OVERALL
AVERAGE TEMPERATURE HAS BEEN ONLY 82.8 DEGREES. THIS IS ONLY 0.1
DEGREES SHY OF THE RECORD...WHICH OCCURRED IN 1899.
