AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE HUNTSVILLE AL
510 AM CDT THU AUG 4 2011
.DISCUSSION...
THE CURRENT WEATHER REGIME ACROSS THE TENNESSEE VALLEY CONTINUES TO
BE CONTROLLED BY A SEASONABLY STRONG MID-LEVEL RIDGE CENTERED
ACROSS THE ARKLATEX REGION. A SUBTLE SHORTWAVE TROUGH ROTATING AROUND
THE NORTHEASTERN PERIPHERY OF THE RIDGE SPARKED WIDESPREAD DAMAGING
THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE REGION EARLY THIS MORNING. THIS FEATURE IS
EXPECTED TO MOVE SOUTH-SOUTHEASTWARD ACROSS THE SOUTHERN APPALACHIANS
AND INTO GEORGIA LATER TODAY...AS MID/UPPER-LEVEL RIDGING REMAINS IN
PLACE OVER THE ARKLATEX. WILL MAINTAIN 20-40 POPS FOR ALL ZONES
TODAY...TO ACCOUNT FOR LINGERING MORNING ACTIVITY CURRENTLY SEEN
UPSTREAM ACROSS MIDDLE TENNESSEE AND EXPECTED NEW DEVELOPMENT ALONG A
WEAK STALLED COLD FRONT OR COMPOSITE OUTFLOW BOUNDARY THIS AFTERNOON
IN THE SOUTHEAST. HOWEVER...WEAK SUBSIDENCE IN THE WAKE OF THE
SHORTWAVE TROUGH MAY LEAD TO FAIRLY DRY CONDITIONS ACROSS THE
NORTHERN PORTION OF THE AREA TODAY. LINGERING DECKS OF MORNING
ALTOSTRATUS AND CIRROSTRATUS CLOUDS WILL LIMIT HEATING FOR AT LEAST
THE FIRST PORTION OF THE DAY...AND WITH THIS IN MIND HAVE LOWERED
HIGH TEMPERATURES OFFERED BY MOS AND CANCELLED THE EXCESSIVE HEAT
WARNING. HEAT ADVISORY HAS BEEN MAINTAINED FOR SOUTHWEST HALF OF
FORECAST AREA...BUT EVEN THIS MAY BE QUESTIONABLE. MEANWHILE...MODELS
ARE IN UNANIMOUS AGREEMENT THAT A POTENT MID-LEVEL VORT MAX WILL
SPREAD EASTWARD ACROSS NORTHERN KANSAS/NORTHERN MISSOURI TODAY...AND
DIG EAST-SOUTHEASTWARD AROUND THE NORTHEAST FLANK OF THE WEAKENING
AND RETROGRADING SOUTHERN PLAINS MID-TROPOSPHERIC HIGH FROM TONIGHT
THROUGH TOMORROW. THIS SET-UP APPEARS FAVORABLE FOR A HIGHER COVERAGE
OF SHOWERS/STORMS ON FRIDAY...AS A NORTHWEST FLOW MCS OR ITS REMNANTS
SPREAD SOUTHEASTWARD OVER THE AREA. HAVE INCREASED POPS INTO THE HIGH
CHANCE RANGE...INCREASED CLOUD COVER...AND LOWERED HIGH TEMPERATURES
ACCORDINGLY...WITH NONE OF THE AREA CURRENTLY FORECAST TO MEET HEAT
ADVISORY CRITERIA ON FRIDAY. GIVEN STRENGTH OF NORTHWEST FLOW AT 500
MB AND AMOUNT OF INSTABILITY NOTED ON FORECAST SOUNDINGS...A FEW
STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE ON FRIDAY. RAIN
CHANCES WILL REMAIN IN THE 20-40 PERCENT RANGE AND HIGH TEMPERATURES
WILL REMAIN SLIGHTLY COOLER FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE SHORT TERM
PERIOD...AS THE MID-LEVEL SUBTROPICAL ANTICYCLONE CONTINUES TO WEAKEN
AND RETROGRADE TOWARD THE SOUTHERN ROCKIES/FOUR CORNERS REGION IN
RESPONSE TO THE EASTWARD PROGRESSION OF A WELL-DEFINED UPPER TROUGH
-- CURRENTLY MOVING ONSHORE ACROSS WASHINGTON/OREGON.
TEMPERATURES WILL CONTINUE TO GRADUALLY DIMINISH AND THE CHANCES FOR
AFTERNOON CONVECTION WILL IMPROVE THIS WEEKEND...AS THE PREVIOUSLY
MENTIONED UPPER TROUGH SHIFTS EASTWARD OVER THE GREAT LAKES REGION
AND AN INVERTED TROUGH MOVES WESTWARD ALONG THE GULF COAST. THE MID-
LEVEL RIDGE WILL REMAIN ESTABLISHED OVER THE SOUTHWESTERN U.S.
THROUGH NEXT WEEK...WITH SEVERAL STRONG UPPER LOWS FORECAST BY THE
GFS/ECMWF/GEM TO DIG EAST-SOUTHEASTWARD AROUND A DEEP-LAYER CYCLONE
CENTERED OVER HUDSON BAY. HOWEVER...NONE OF THE ASSOCIATED SURFACE
COLD FRONTS APPEAR TO PENETRATE THROUGH THE TENNESSEE VALLEY...AT
LEAST NOT UNTIL PERHAPS MID-WEEK. THUS...THE REGION SHOULD REMAIN IN
A WARM/MOIST SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW REGIME...WITH A CHANCE OF MAINLY
AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING SHOWERS AND STORMS THROUGH THE PERIOD.
