SSWhat forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this severe thunderstorm warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS Huntsville, AL wrote its last area forecast discussion before this severe thunderstorm warning went out at Jul 5, 2:41 PM CDT, 1 hour 41 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Jul 5, 2:41 PM CDT, 1 hour 41 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE HUNTSVILLE AL
241 PM CDT THU JUL 5 2012
.DISCUSSION...
SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY WILL DIMINISH LATER THIS EVENING.
HOWEVER...ISOLATED TO SCATTERED STORMS WILL STILL BE POSSIBLE
THROUGH 8 OR 9 PM. MOST OF THIS ACTIVITY WILL SHIFT SOUTH OF THE
TENNESSEE RIVER AND REMAIN NEAR AND EAST OF INTERSTATE 65. SOME OF
THESE STORMS COULD CONTINUE TO BE SEVERE AND PRODUCE WIND GUSTS 60 TO
80 MPH...GIVEN STRONG FORECAST WINDEX VALUES. EXPECT SOME PATCHY
LIGHT FOG TO DEVELOP IN AREAS THAT RECEIVE HEAVIER RAINFALL...BUT
WILL LEAVE OUT OF GRIDS DUE TO LIMITED COVERAGE OF CONVECTION THAT
IS EXPECTED.
MODELS ARE IN GOOD AGREEMENT THAT SEVERAL WEAK BOUNDARIES WILL PUSH
SOUTHEAST THROUGH NORTHWESTERLY FLOW AND ACROSS THE TENNESSEE VALLEY
AND NORTHERN ALABAMA THROUGH SATURDAY. RIGHT NOW THE BETTER CHANCE
OF SHOWERS AND STORMS AFTER TONIGHT APPEARS TO BE FRIDAY INTO FRIDAY
EVENING. RIGHT NOW...WE THINK THIS WILL KEEP HIGH TEMPERATURES A
LITTLE COOLER...IN THE MID TO UPPER 90S. THIS SHOULD KEEP A HEAT
ADVISORY A BAY ON FRIDAY...BUT THIS WILL NEED TO BE MONITORED CLOSELY
IN CASE LESS CONVECTION OCCURS.
CONVECTION SHOULD BE A LITTLE LESS WIDESPREAD ON SATURDAY...AND AS A
RESULT TEMPERATURES COULD AGAIN CLIMB TO 100 DEGREES WEST OF A
HUNTSVILLE TO CULLMAN LINE. A HEAT ADVISORY LOOKS VERY POSSIBLE.
HOWEVER ISOLATED TO WIDELY SCATTERED CONVECTION COULD GIVE SOME
LOCALIZED RELIEF. SEVERE MICROBUST POTENTIAL WILL REMAIN IN PLACE
WITH ANY CONVECTION FRIDAY AND SATURDAY AFTERNOON/EVENING...ALONG
WITH HEAVY DOWNPOURS AND FREQUENT LIGHTNING.
THE REAL BREAK TO THE HEAT LOOKS LIKE IT WILL COME EARLY NEXT
WEEK...AS A STRONGER FRONTAL BOUNDARY APPROACHES THE TENNESSEE
VALLEY. STRONGER SHEAR AND FORCING WITH THIS FRONT...SHOULD CAUSE
MORE WIDESPREAD SHOWER AND STORM ACTIVITY TO DEVELOP. THIS ACTIVITY
SHOULD CONTINUE THROUGH THE END OF THE WEEK...AS THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY
STALLS SOMEWHERE BETWEEN NASHVILLE AND CENTRAL AL. DUE TO CLOUD
COVER...CONVECTION...AND FRONTAL BOUNDARY INFLUENCES...HIGHS SHOULD
DROP TO NEAR NORMAL LEVELS AS A RESULT WITH HIGHS IN THE UPPER 80S
TO LOWER 90S AND LOWS IN THE UPPER 60S. FINALLY...A TRUE A BREAK IN
SIGHT FROM THE HEAT.
KTW
&&
.AVIATION...
/ISSUED 1241 PM CDT THU JUL 5 2012/
FOR 18Z TAFS...
STRONG DAYTIME HEATING HAS RESULTED IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF CUMULUS
TYPE CLOUDS ACROSS THE REGION. AN UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE APPROACHING
THE REGION FROM THE NNE WILL BRING A RISK OF MORE CONVECTION LATER
THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING...MAINLY EAST OF I-65. MICROBURST OUTFLOW
WINDS ARE THE PRIMARY RISK POISED BY THE STRONGER STORMS... WITH
MARGINALLY SEVERE HAIL POSSIBLE TOO. STORM COVERAGE/INTENSITY SHOULD
WIND DOWN DURING THE LATER EVENING. MVFR FOG/MIST IS POSSIBLE TOWARD
DAYBREAK FRI AM AT EITHER TERMINAL...ESPECIALLY IF THEY RECEIVE
RAINFALL THIS EVENING.
