Area forecast discussion, Jun 6, 3:29 PM CDT, 1 hour 44 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BIRMINGHAM AL 329 PM CDT FRI JUN 6 2014 .DISCUSSION... COVERAGE OF SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS HAS INCREASED OVER THE LAST COUPLE HOURS ACROSS NORTH CENTRAL ALABAMA...AND WATCHING SEVERAL MULTICELL CLUSTERS ACROSS PORTIONS OF THE AREA. THIS ACTIVITY WILL MOVE TO THE EAST SOUTHEAST...BUT ADDITIONAL STORMS ARE DEVELOPING AND BECOMING ORGANIZED UPSTREAM. THESE STORMS WILL POSE A THREAT OF DAMAGING WINDS AND FREQUENT LIGHTNING. LOOK TO GRAPHICASTS FOR MORE NEAR TERM UPDATES THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING. THERE IS SOME UNCERTAINTY AS TO WHETHER THE MCS OVER EASTERN ARKANSAS PUSHES EASTWARD MAINTAINING STRENGTH BEFORE IT REACHES CENTRAL ALABAMA LATER TODAY. LATEST SATELLITE TRENDS SHOWS LIGHTNING ACTIVITY AND COLDEST CLOUD TOPS PUSHING MORE IN A NNE DIRECTION...TOWARD THE OHIO RIVER VALLEY. AHEAD OF THE MCS...CONVECTION IS DEVELOPING IN A NORTH TO SOUTH ORIENTED LINE ALONG THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER FROM MEMPHIS INTO NW LOUISIANA. THE AIRMASS ACROSS CENTRAL MISSISSIPPI HAS NOT SEEN MUCH ACTIVITY TODAY AND IS QUITE UNSTABLE. EXPECT THIS ACTIVITY TO BECOME THE FOCUS AS IT MOVES EASTWARD THROUGH THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING...AND CONTINUE TO POSE A THREAT OF SEVERE STORMS ACROSS CENTRAL ALABAMA. FOR THE WEEKEND...THE MID LEVEL RIDGE AXIS SLIGHTLY AMPLIFIES ACROSS THE AREA TOMORROW...KEEPING SHORT WAVE IMPULSES TO OUR NORTH. AIRMASS WILL BE UNSTABLE AND EXPECT AFTERNOON STORMS TO DEVELOP...BUT WITH LESS ORGANIZATION THAN TODAY. A FEW STRONG STORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE...BUT COVERAGE WILL BE LOWER. ON SUNDAY...MID LEVEL FLOW DEAMPLIFIES AND HEIGHTS FALL. SURFACE LOW SHIFTING ACROSS THE OHIO RIVER VALLEY WILL DROP A FRONT SOUTHWARD THROUGH THE TENNESSEE RIVER VALLEY...PROVIDING A FOCUS FOR CONVECTION ACROSS CENTRAL ALABAMA. STRONG STORMS WILL AGAIN BE POSSIBLE. MODELS ARE IN FAIR AGREEMENT THROUGH THE EXTENDED FORECAST. A WEAK UPPER LEVEL RIDGE WILL MOVE ACROSS CENTRAL ALABAMA ON MONDAY...WITH WESTERLY WINDS TURNING MORE SOUTHERLY BY TUESDAY. DIURNALLY DRIVEN CONVECTION WILL BE POSSIBLE BOTH AFTERNOONS...AS TYPICALLY IS THE CASE DURING THE SUMMER. AN UPPER LEVEL TROUGH WILL APPROACH THE AREA OVERNIGHT TUESDAY AND INTO WEDNESDAY. MODELS AGREE THAT THE TROUGH WILL HANG AROUND FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE EXTENDED...WITH SLIGHTLY HIGHER CHANCES FOR PRECIPITATION THEN WHAT IS CONSIDERED NORMAL FOR SUMMER. ALTHOUGH THERE IS MODEL CONSISTENCY...WILL KEEP CHANCE POPS IN THE FORECAST...GIVEN THE LACK OF DEEP LAYER MOISTURE. TEMPERATURES DURING THE EXTENDED WILL START OFF SLIGHTLY ABOVE NORMAL AND THEN TREND DOWNWARD WITH THE UPPER TROUGH MOVING INTO THE AREA. 14/73 && .AVIATION... 18Z TAF DISCUSSION. CONVECTION IS GETTING GOING MUCH EARLIER TODAY MUCH IN THANKS TO LESS CLOUD COVER EARLY ON DURING THE MORNING...ALLOWING THINGS TO HEAT UP QUICKER AND CONVECTION TO COMMENCE. LESS CHANCES AT MGM/TOI EARLY ON BUT ACTIVITY SHOULD PROGRESS SOUTHWARD DURING THE AFTERNOON. A FEW STORMS COULD GET STRONG BY LATE AFTERNOON. NOTE: SOME MISSING DATA AT MGM...BUT SHOULD BE TEMPORARY AS TECHS ARE WORKING ON EQUIPMENT AT THIS TIME. 08/MK && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
