AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE HUNTSVILLE AL
425 AM CST WED JAN 25 2012

.DISCUSSION...
THE PRIMARY CONCERN OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS WILL BE FLASH
FLOODING AND LONGER TERM RIVER FLOODING IF THE CURRENT EXPECTED
SCENARIO PLAYS OUT. WILL BE ISSUING A FLASH FLOOD WATCH WITH THE
MORNING FCST PACKAGE. WHILE THE SFC LOW MAY TRACK JUST TO OUR
NORTH...FCST SHEAR AND INSTABILITY PROFILES DO NOT APPEAR
PARTICULARLY IMPRESSIVE AT THIS TIME. NEVERTHELESS...WILL BE
WATCHING THE EVOLUTION OF THE SFC LOW AND LOW-LVL WIND FIELD FOR
CHANGES. FOR THE WEEKEND...A COOLER AIRMASS WILL BE MOVING BACK INTO
THE REGION BUT WILL STILL NOT BE PARTICULARLY COLD FOR LATE JAN.
DETAILS BELOW.

EARLY MORNING ANALYSIS SHOWS A PARTIALLY CLOSED UPR LOW MOVING EWRD
ACROSS THE BIG BEND AREA OF TX. AHEAD OF THIS FEATURE...DEEP
CONVECTION AND STRATIFORM RAIN HAS DEVELOPED ACROSS A LARGE PORTION
OF THE SOUTHERN PLAINS. A SFC LOW AHEAD OF THE UPR LOW WAS LOCATED
IN SOUTH CENTRAL TX AND WILL GRADUALLY TRACK NEWD...APPROACHING THE
TN VALLEY REGION BY THURS MORNING. WELL TO THE NE OF THE SFC LOW...A
WARM FRONT WAS PUSHING NWD INTO CENTRAL/NORTHERN MISS AND AL.
REGIONAL RADARS WERE INDICATING MAINLY LGT RAIN WITH A FEW EMBEDDED
AND VERY SMALL HVY SHOWERS ASSOCIATED WITH THE WARM FRONT. FURTHER
ENHANCEMENT OF ISENTROPIC LIFT IS PROGGED AS THE WARM FRONT
CONTINUES TO MOVE NWD ACROSS OUR FCST AREA THIS MORNING. THUS...A
GRADUAL INCREASE IN THE COVERAGE OF RAIN/SHOWERS IS EXPECTED. POPS
HAVE BEEN INCREASED DUE TO THESE LATEST TRENDS AND WERE KEPT HIGHER
IN THE WEST WHERE THE COMBINATION OF LIFT/MOISTURE ADVECTION WILL
LIKELY BE STRONGER. HOWEVER...NOT EXPECTING MUCH RAINFALL WITH THIS
INITIAL PUSH OF MOISTURE...WITH AMOUNTS ARND A QUARTER INCH OR LESS
EXPECTED.

THE RAIN WILL TAPER OFF GRADUALLY THIS AFTERNOON AS THE WARM FRONT
PUSHES NWD AND THE AREA OF BEST LIFT BECOMES INCREASINGLY SHALLOW
AND ELEVATED. TEMPS MAY MANAGE TO CLIMB INTO THE 60S AT MANY
LOCATIONS THIS AFTERNOON...BUT DUE TO THE CLOUDS/SHOWERS AND A
PREDOMINANT ERLY SFC FLOW REGIME...WILL KEEP VALUES BELOW MOS FOR
THE MOST PART.

SHORT WAVE MINIMA AHEAD OF THE MAIN UPR LOW MAY SPARK A FEW SHOWERS
DURING THIS EVENING AND INTO THE OVERNIGHT PERIOD. HOWEVER...THE
MAIN SHIELD OF HVY RAIN AND EMBEDDED THUNDERSTORMS WILL PROBABLY NOT
BEGIN TO ENTER NW ALABAMA UNTIL ARND SUNRISE THURSDAY OR SHORTLY
THEREAFTER. FCST BUFR SOUNDINGS AND THERMAL/MOISTURE ADVECTION
PROFILES INDICATE SUFFICIENT INSTABILITY FOR TSRA PERHAPS AS EARLY
AS 12Z IN NW ALABAMA. THIS WILL GRADUALLY SPREAD EWRD AS THE SFC AND
UPR LOW SWING NEWD INTO THE LOWER MISS AND THEN THE TN VALLEY
REGIONS DURING THE DAY. PW VALUES WILL BE QUITE HIGH (~1.4 TO 1.5
INCHES)...ARND THE 99TH PCTILE FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR. A CHECK OF
SOIL MOISTURE VALUES PER THE USDA SCAN SITES AND THE NASA LIS 1KM
MODEL OVER NRN AL SHOWS VALUES ARE STILL VERY ELEVATED...WHICH WILL
EXACERBATE THE FLASH FLOODING THREAT. SINCE THIS MAY BE THE MOST
IMPACTFUL ASPECT OF THIS EVENT AND THE FLASH FLOODING CONCERNS ARE
EVIDENT...HAVE GONE AHEAD AND ISSUED A FLASH FLOOD WATCH FOR THE
ENTIRE AREA. THE WATCH HAS BEEN SPLIT BETWEEN WEST AND
EAST...BEGINNING AT 12Z IN THE WEST AND 18Z IN THE EAST ON THURS AND
LASTING FOR 12 HOURS IN EACH AREA. WIDESPREAD ONE TO TWO INCH
RAINFALL APPEARS PROBABLE AND CONVECTIVE ENHANCEMENT WILL LIKELY
LEAD TO LOCALLY HIGHER AMOUNTS.

THE TRACK OF THE SFC LOW WILL FACTOR LARGELY INTO THE RESULTANT
SHEAR AND INSTABILITY ACROSS THE AREA. CURRENTLY...AM FAVORING A
TRACK DIRECTLY ACROSS OR PERHAPS JUST NORTH OF OUR CWA. THIS WILL
HELP TO MAXIMIZE THE SHEAR/INSTABILITY FROM THE MORE SOUTHERLY
SCENARIO DEPICTED BY THE GFS. HOWEVER...AS WAS STATED ABOVE THESE
VALUES DO NOT LOOK OVERLY IMPRESSIVE SO FAR. THE SHEAR MAY BE
SUFFICIENT TO ALLOW FOR SOME STORM ORGANIZATION AND
MAINTENANCE...BUT THE OVERALL THREAT FOR SVR WEATHER STILL LOOKS
SLIGHT ATTM.

THE RAINFALL WILL TAPER OFF IN THE WEST BY THE EARLY EVENING AND IN
THE EAST BY ABOUT MIDNIGHT. DUE TO LINGERING UNCERTAINTY IN THE
TIMING THOUGH...WILL STILL CARRY MENTION OF SHOWERS INTO THE
OVERNIGHT PERIOD. IN REALITY THOUGH...THE PRECIP MAY BE MORE LIKELY
TO MOVE OFF QUICKLY BEHIND THE FRONT.

THE FLASH FLOODING THREAT WILL END BY OR DURING THE NIGHTTIME ACROSS
THE AREA...BUT WILL GRADUALLY TRANSITION INTO A RIVER FLOODING
THREAT INTO THE WEEKEND. KEEP ABREAST OF THE LATEST RIVER FORECASTS
AS RAINFALL AMOUNTS BECOME MORE FINELY TUNED.

THE INITIAL AIRMASS BEHIND THE LOW PRESSURE IS MODIFIED PACIFIC IN
ORIGIN AND WILL BE COOLER...BUT NOT PARTICULARLY COLD.
NEVERTHELESS...LOW TEMPS MAY MANAGE TO FALL TO ARND FREEZING BY SAT
MORNING. AS THE PATTERN BECOMES SLIGHTLY MORE AMPLIFIED ESPECIALLY
IN THE EAST BY LATE SATURDAY...ANOTHER SHOT OF COOL AIR WILL ENTER
THE TN VALLEY. LOWS AGAIN ON SUN AND MONDAY MORNING MAY FALL BELOW
FREEZING INTO THE MID/UPR 20S AT MANY LOCATIONS. BUT...IT STILL
COULD BE A LOT COLDER FOR LATE JAN. HIGHS DURING THE WEEKEND WITH
GENERALLY ABUNDANT SUNSHINE (MAINLY HIGH THIN CLOUDS) WILL LIKELY BE
IN THE UPR 40S TO UPR 50S.

A MODERATING TREND IS EXPECTED NEXT WEEK AS THE UPR FLOW PATTERN
BECOMES MORE ZONAL AGAIN ACROSS THE CONUS.
