AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BIRMINGHAM AL
416 PM CDT SUN JUN 8 2014

.DISCUSSION...

IN THE LOWER LEVELS THIS SUNDAY AFTERNOON...HIGH PRESSURE EXTENDED
WESTWARD INTO THE GULF WITH A LOW PRESSURE CENTERED OVER NEW
ENGLAND. FLOW IN THE UPPER LEVELS TODAY IS SOMEWHAT ZONAL WITH A
RIDGE OVER THE GULF...BUT WITH A DECENT SHORTWAVE MOVING ACROSS
THE MID/LOWER MISSISSIPPI RIVER VALLEY THIS AFTERNOON AND HAS HELPED
WITH FOCUS/LIFT FOR TSRA ACTIVITY ALONG LINGERING BOUNDARIES
ACROSS MISSISSIPPI AND ALABAMA. THIS SHORTWAVE SHOULD CONTINUE TO
SWING TO THE EAST ACROSS TENNESSEE AS A BETTER TROUGH DIGS
SOUTHEAST OFF OF THE ROCKIES. WILL CONTINUE WITH SCATTERED POPS
TONIGHT WITH THE WAVE. ON MONDAY...THIS TROUGH SHOULD BECOME A
CLOSED OFF LOW OVER THE LOWER CENTRAL PLAINS YIELDING SOUTHWEST
FLOW OVER ALABAMA...AND CONTINUING TO EJECT SHORTWAVES ACROSS THE
AREA. WILL REMAIN IN A WET...BUILD THE ARK FLOW OVERALL. ALSO...WE
REMAIN UNSTABLE WITH THE HEAT OF THE DAY AND LOTS OF CAPE TO FEED
ANY STORMS THAT DO POP UP IN THE LATE AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING.

THE UPPER LOW INCHES CLOSER TO THE EAST ON TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY.
BY WEDNESDAY...IT SHOULD BE SLIGHTLY OPEN AND ELONGATED OVER THE
MISSISSIPPI VALLEY INTO THE GREAT LAKES. PRETTY DECENT MOISTURE
AND DECENT RAIN CHANCES AS LOW GETS CLOSER. THROUGH THURSDAY...IT
CONTINUES TO SWING TO THE EAST NORTHEAST ACROSS THE EASTERN UNITED
STATES BUT BECOMES AN OPEN TROUGH ACROSS MUCH OF THE EASTERN
UNITED STATES BUT KEEPING TURBULENT FLOW AROUND CENTRAL ALABAMA
NONETHELESS. STORMS MAY NOT BE AS WIDESPREAD ON THURSDAY BETWEEN
THE WAVES...BUT CHANCES REMAIN. WE JUST CANT SEEM TO SHAKE THIS
FLOW. BY THURSDAY NIGHT INTO FRIDAY ANOTHER SHORTWAVE DEVELOPS AND
SWINGS ACROSS OVER THE WEEKEND...INCREASING RAIN CHANCES ONCE
AGAIN. WITH INCREASED POPS FOR MUCH OF THIS WEEK...TEMPERATURES
WILL ONLY BE AIDED BY THE INCREASED CLOUD COVER OR RESULTING
RAIN...BUT WILL BE STICKY AND HOT DESPITE.
