Area forecast discussion, May 6, 6:36 AM CDT, 2 hours 37 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BIRMINGHAM AL 636 AM CDT SUN MAY 6 2012 .UPDATE...AVIATION DISCUSSION. && .DISCUSSION... KEEPING AN EYE ONCE AGAIN ON A CLUSTER OF STORMS... BUT THIS MORNING THEY ARE CLOSER TO HOME. CLUSTER IS MOVING SE ACROSS W/C TN. SCATTERED CONVECTION IS DEVELOPING ACROSS NE AL MOVING IN THE SAME TRACK AS WELL. ALL OF THIS ACTIVITY IS IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE 2ND DISTURBANCE THAT WE WERE WATCHING YESTERDAY TO OUR W. THIS SHORTWAVE HAS CIRCLED AROUND TO THE E AND NOW SE AROUND THE UPPER RIDGE CENTERED OVER THE SW GULF. OVERALL THINKING WITH THIS SHORTWAVE HAS NOT CHANGED MUCH SINCE YESTERDAY. AS THE SHORTWAVE AND ASSOCIATED ACTIVITY AND POTENTIAL MOVE SE DURING THE MORNING...IT WILL MAINLY AFFECT THE E PORTIONS OF C AL TODAY... WITH AN ISOLATED RISK FOR A STRONG TO SEVERE STORM...BUT OVERALL THIS IS A WEAK DISTURBANCE. ALTHOUGH THE ENVIRONMENT WILL BE UNSTABLE... THERE IS MINIMAL FOCUS AND SHEAR TO WORK WITH. THE MAIN DESTRUCTIVE FORCE TODAY WILL BE HEATING TO POSSIBLY BREAK THE CAP AND IGNITE A FEW STORMS. MAIN THREATS IN ANY POP UPS WILL BE LARGE HAIL AND DOWNBURST WINDS. AS WE MOVE INTO MONDAY...AGAIN THINKING HAS CHANGED ONLY A LITTLE. OUR PATTERN IS CHANGING...WITH TODAY'S SHORTWAVE ENERGY MOVING TO THE SE AND AWAY. ANOTHER SMALL RIPPLE SHOULD MOVE THROUGH DURING THE DAY ACROSS N AL...BUT WEAKER THAN TODAY. OVERALL MOISTURE WILL INCREASE AS WE MOVE THROUGH MONDAY AHEAD OF OUR NEXT APPROACHING FRONTAL SYSTEM. BY MONDAY NIGHT...THIS SYSTEM WILL HAVE PUSHED SE ACROSS THE C U.S. INTO W TN/AR...A TAD SLOWER THAN YESTERDAY'S RUN. ALTHOUGH MOST OF THE STRONGER ACTIVITY ASSOCIATED WITH THE FRONT SHOULD BE FURTHER N CLOSER TO THE SURFACE LOW AS IT MOVES ACROSS THE OHIO VALLEY...SOME POSSIBLE STRONG CONVECTION ASSOCIATED WITH LINE COULD AFFECT THE NW COUNTIES AS EARLY AS TUES PRE DAWN HOURS DEPENDING ON TIMING. THE BULK OF THE FRONT SHOULD MOVE THROUGH LATE TUESDAY INTO WEDNESDAY...AGAIN SLIGHTLY SLOWER THAN YESTERDAY. SEVERE RISK AT THIS TIME CONTINUES TO BE ON THE LOW END WITH THE MAIN ENERGY WELL TO OUR NE AS THE FRONT MOVES THROUGH. MODELS CONTINUE TO HAVE PRECIP ENDING LATE IN THE DAY WED INTO WED EVENING SE WITH THE PASSAGE OF THE UPPER TROUGH FOLLOWING THE FRONT WHICH SHOULD USHER IN SOME DRIER AND COOLER AIR INTO THE AREA. AS FOR RE-ENTRY OF RAIN CHANCES FOR NEXT WEEKEND. MODELS ALTHOUGH NOT ENTIRELY IN AGREEMENT...BUT ARE BOTH AGREEING WITH A SLIGHTLY SLOWER ARRIVAL OF THE UPPER LOW ACROSS THE SOUTHERN U.S. AND THUS ONLY LOW POPS S AT THIS TIME FOR THE WEEKEND. HOWEVER...POPS FOR NEXT WEEKEND ARE NOT ONLY DEPENDENT ON TIMING OF THE LOW BUT HOW FAR S THE EVENTUAL TRACK IS AS TO WHETHER OR NOT SIGNIFICANT OR INSEQUENTIAL RAIN OCCURS. 08/MNK && .AVIATION... 12Z TAF DISCUSSION. CLUSTERS OF THUNDERSTORMS CONTINUE ALONG AN OUTFLOW BOUNDARY HEADING SOUTHWARD FROM MIDDLE TN...AND A NORTHWEST-SOUTHEAST ORIENTED STATIONARY FRONT ACROSS NORTHEAST ALABAMA. THESE STORMS WILL BRING A FEW HOURS OF STORMY WEATHER TO ANB AND ASN THIS MORNING...WITH THE CONVECTION LIKELY BUILDING SOUTH AND SOUTHWESTWARD INTO BHM AND EET WITHIN A COUPLE HOURS OF THE 12Z TAF VALID TIME. MY GUT FEELING RIGHT NOW IS THAT THE SOUTHBOUND OUTFLOW WILL KEEP MOVING THAT WAY...AND BE THE "LAST HURRAH" FOR CONVECTION FOR THESE AREAS. SO THE KEY THEN BECOMES TRYING TO TIME THE OUTFLOWS PROGRESS. I'VE NOT INCLUDED A THUNDERSTORM CONDITION AT TCL YET...AS IT APPEARS THAT THE BULK OF THE RAIN SHOULD STAY TO THE EAST OF THERE. IF THAT CHANGES...WE CAN UPDATE. I'VE ALSO NOT INCLUDED ANT THUNDER AT MGM OR TOI...SIMPLY BECAUSE MY CONFIDENCE (IN THE OUTFLOW CONTINUING TO SET OFF STORMS FARTHER SOUTH) WAS NOT AS HIGH AS THE NORTHERN TAF LOCATIONS. /61/ NOTE***THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE IS ISSUING SEASONAL TERMINAL FORECASTS FOR THE TALLADEGA MUNICIPAL AIRPORT (KASN) IN TALLADEGA...ALABAMA. THE FORECASTS WILL LAST THROUGH AT LEAST THE 9TH OF MAY. DUE TO THE LIMITED AVAILABILITY OF OBSERVATIONS...KASN TAF WILL HAVE AMD NOT SKED APPENDED TO THE END OF THE FORECAST. && .BMX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... NONE. &&
