AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE HUNTSVILLE AL
1239 AM CDT MON APR 7 2014

.UPDATE...
FOR 06Z TAFS

&&

.DISCUSSION...
/ISSUED 930 PM CDT SUN APR 6 2014/
RAIN THAT HAS BEEN IN THE FORECAST THE PAST FEW DAYS HAS FINALLY
REACHED THE AREA...COVERING THE ENTIRE FORECAST AREA... INCLUDING
MUCH OF THE DEEP SOUTH. A WARM FRONT WAS NOTED FROM NEAR JACKSON
MS...TO THE WESTERN FLORIDA PANHANDLE. DEWPOINTS IN THE MID/UPPER
60S TO LOWER 70S WERE SOUTH OF THIS BOUNDARY. GRADUALLY DRIER
CONDITIONS WERE REALIZED FURTHER NORTHWARD... WITH NEAR/LOWER 50S
VALUES LOCALLY. DESPITE THE HIGHER MOISTURE VALUES TO THE SOUTH...
EMBEDDED T-STORMS WERE IN PROGRESS WITH SOME OF THE HEAVIER RAIN...
ESPECIALLY FROM NORTHERN CULLMAN COUNTY SW TO TUSCALOOSA...TO THE
JACKSON MS REGION. THESE WERE WITHIN AN AREA OF ELEVATED
INSTABILITY MOVING NORTHWARD TOWARD THE FORECAST AREA.

SO FAR...THE HEAVIEST RAINFALL RATES HAVE BEEN AROUND 1/3 OF AN
INCH PER HOUR ACROSS NW ALABAMA...WITH LESSER AMOUNTS ELSEWHERE.
THE ONGOING FORECAST LOOKS GOOD...WITH RAINFALL TOTALS RISING
INTO THE 1-3 INCH RANGE...WITH LOCALLY HIGHER AMOUNTS POSSIBLE.
EVEN THOUGH ANTECEDENT CONDITIONS ARE DRIER THAN NORMAL...THIS
AMOUNT OF RAIN...ESPECIALLY IN THE SHORT-TERM COULD RUNOFF AND
PRODUCE FLASH FLOODING. THUS...THE FLASH FLOOD WATCH WILL
CONTINUE.

.AVIATION...
FOR 06Z TAFS...
A COMPLEX FORECAST CONTINUES THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT...AS AN AREA OF
LOW PRESSURE APPROACHES FROM THE MISSISSIPPI DELTA. THIS SYSTEM WILL
KEEP WIDESPREAD RAIN...ALONG WITH EMBEDDED T-STORMS CONTINUING
THROUGH THE LATE NIGHT. THUS...CIG/VIS VALUES REDUCED TO IFR/MVFR
SHOULD CONTINUE FOR MUCH OF THE LATE NIGHT AND DURING MON. WINDS ARE
FORECAST TO INCREASE DURING THE OVERNIGHT...WITH LOW-LEVEL WIND SHEAR
LIKELY FROM BEFORE DAYBREAK THROUGH 1300-1400Z. ALTHOUGH THE MAJORITY
OF THE RAIN SHOULD END BY THE LATE MORNING...POST SYSTEM MVFR CIGS
SHOULD CONTINUE INTO EARLY MON EVENING.
