Severe Thunderstorm Warning 98, NWS Huntsville, AL

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE HUNTSVILLE AL
655 PM CST SAT DEC 21 2013

.MESOSCALE UPDATE...
00Z RAOBS SUGGEST A GRADIENT IN SFC-BASED INSTABILITY FROM N-S BASED
ON A NASHVILLE SOUNDING WHICH HAS LITTLE CAPE, WHILE BMX AND JAN SHOW
MORE SUBSTANTIAL CAPE IN THE 400-800 J/KG RANGE. SRH IS BASED LARGELY
IN THE LOWEST 1KM WITH VALUES NEARING 600 M2/S2 AT NASHVILLE AND
350-400 M2/S2 AT BIRMINGHAM. AMPLE LOW LEVEL FLOW IS ADVECTING DEW
POINTS INTO THE M60S OVER NRN AL NOW WITH TEMPS STILL IN THE L-M70S
(RECORD HIGH TEMP AT KMSL). PRIND ARE THAT THE SQLN WILL REACH THE AL
STATE LINE IN OUR CWA BY 03-04Z. CONVERGENCE LINES/SHRA ARE
DEVELOPING AHEAD OF THE SQLN WHICH HAS US SOMEWHAT CONCERNED FOR DISCRETE
SUPERCELL DEVELOPMENT BEFORE THE LINE OVERTAKES THIS. THE CAPE VALUES
WOULD SUGGEST THIS TO BE MORE LIKELY JUST S-SW OF OUR CWA, BUT GIVEN
ADVECTION FIELDS, I CANNOT RULE THIS OUT IN OUR AREA AS WELL. BASED
UPON THE MD ISSUED BY SPC, WE SHOULD SEE A WATCH ISSUED FOR OUR AREA
SOON. WE COULD SEE A WEAKENING TREND AS THE MAX SFC PRESSURE FALLS
ARE LIFTING WELL NORTH INTO IN/KY. IN THIS CASE, SOME
MOMENTUM/CONVERGENCE MAY WEAKEN SOMEWHAT AND WIND FIELDS BECOME MORE
PARALLEL TO THE LINE. IN THIS CASE, HEAVY RAIN MAY BECOME MORE OF A
PROBLEM.
