AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE HUNTSVILLE AL
305 PM CDT WED JUL 18 2012

.DISCUSSION...
WILL GO WITH A BLEND OF NAM AND GFS FOR THIS FCST PACKAGE.

MID LEVEL TROF WAS KICKING OFF A BAND OF SHRA/TSRA FROM THE EAST
COAST THRU ERN KY AND INTO SE MS. THESE STORMS WILL PRODUCE A LOT OF
RAINFALL SINCE THEY ARE ONLY MOVING SLOWLY TO THE SOUTH. A FEW STORMS
MAY ALSO BECOME SVR WITH DAMAGING WIND GUSTS BEING THE MAIN THREAT.
OTHERWISE CLOUD COVER CONTINUES TO INCREASE ACROSS THE CWA WHICH
SHOULD KEEP TEMPS IN THE 80S FOR MOST LOCATIONS. FOR TONIGHT WILL
KEEP LOW END CHC POP ACROSS THE AREA DUE TO SLOW MOVEMENT OF UPPER
TROF. HOWEVER DO EXPECT AREAL COVERAGE AND INTENSITY OF SHRA/TSRA TO
DECREASE AFTER MIDNIGHT.

THURSDAY/FRIDAY...WILL KEEP LIKELY POPS IN FOR THESE TWO DAYS DUE TO
A SLOW MOVING UPPER TROF AND A WEAK CDFNT THAT WILL APPROACH THE
CWA BY FRIDAY. AT THE MOMENT MODELS DO NOT MOVE THE CDFNT THRU OUR CWA.

SATURDAY/SUNDAY...MODELS SHOW THE CDFNT JUST NW OF THE TN VALLEY ALONG
WITH A WEAK UPPER TROF. THUS WILL KEEP CHC POPS IN FOR THE WEEKEND
WITH AFTN AND EVENING THE BEST TIMING FOR PCPN.

MONDAY THRU WEDNESDAY...GFS CONTINUES TO SHOW THE CHC OF SHRA AND
TSRA AS A WEAK UPPER TROF WILL BE BETWEEN TWO AREAS OF HIGH
PRESSURE...ONE OVER THE MIDWEST AND THE OTHER OFF THE COAST OF THE
SERN US. HOWEVER BY WEDNESDAY NIGHT A RIDGE BEGINS TO BUILD ACROSS
THE SERN US WHICH SHOULD DECREASE THE PCPN COVERAGE ACROSS THE CWA.

NOTE...IT LOOKS LIKE THE WARM AND MUGGY WX CONDITIONS WILL CONTINUE
THRU THE NEXT 7 DAYS WITH THE CHC OF SHRA AND STORMS EVERY
DAY...MAINLY DURING THE AFTN/EVENING.
