AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BIRMINGHAM AL 220 PM CST THU DEC 24 2015 .UPDATE... MESOSCALE UPDATE. && SOGGY CHRISTMAS EVE IS TURNING INTO TROUBLE FOR A LOT OF PEOPLE ACROSS CENTRAL ALABAMA. WHAT WAS ONCE AN EXCLUSIVE SEVERE WEATHER THREAT HAS QUICKLY TRANSITIONED INTO A SIGNIFICANT FLOODING PROBLEM. THE CONVERGENCE LINES FROM LAST NIGHT HAVE STALLED ACROSS THE SOUTHERN THIRD OF THE CWA CREATING WAVES OF THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY THAT HAVE BEEN ONGOING SINCE LATE LAST NIGHT. TO THIS POINT...WE HAVE HAD NUMEROUS WATER RESCUES...CLOSED ROADS...WASHED OUT ROADS...ETC...ENOUGH TO PROMPT IMMEDIATE ACTION FROM A CIVIL EMERGENCY MESSAGE FOR SEVERAL COUNTIES. UNFORTUNATELY...THIS TREND WILL CONTINUE FOR AT LEAST A FEW MORE HOURS AS THAT BOUNDARY TRIES TO LIFT SLOWLY BACK TO THE NORTH. THE FORTUNATE PART IS THAT AREAS FURTHER NORTH...WHILE SATURATED...HAVE NOT EXPERIENCED NEARLY AS MUCH RAIN AS THE SOUTHEASTERN COUNTIES. ACCORDING TO RADAR ESTIMATES...SOME PLACES IN THE SOUTHEAST HAVE SEEN OVER 10 INCHES OF RAINFALL WITH THIS EVENT. TROUBLING TO SAY THE LEAST. THE BOUNDARY WILL LIKELY ACCELERATE A BIT AS IT LIFTS NORTHWARD...BUT ADDITIONAL THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY IS LIKELY AT LEAST THROUGH MIDNIGHT. THE SEVERE WEATHER THREAT WILL CONTINUE TO DIMINISH WITH TIME AS THE BETTER DEEP LAYER SHEAR AND DYNAMICS EXIT TO THE NORTH AND GENERALLY SPEAKING THE LAPSE RATES REMAIN RATHER POOR. HOWEVER...WITH PW VALUES AT THEIR MAXIMUM AND INSTABILITY NUMBERS REMAINING >500 JOULES...HEAVY RAIN AND SOME FLOODING DOES NEED TO BE MONITORED CLOSELY. 17/KLAWS && .AVIATION... 18Z TAF DISCUSSION. RAIN AND EMBEDDED THUNDERSTORMS CONTINUE ACROSS SOUTHEAST CENTRAL ALABAMA. HEAVIER RAIN WILL AFFECT MGM AND TOI OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL HOURS. THE RAIN AXIS IS EXPECTED TO SHIFT NORTHWARD LATER TODAY...AND HAVE INCLUDED SHRA FOR NORTHERN TERMINALS THIS AFTERNOON. WILL NEED TO MONITOR ACTIVITY FOR UPDATES TO INCLUDE TS. GIVEN HIGH MOISTURE CONTENT...CIGS WILL LOWER TONIGHT WITH FOG LIKELY. MIGHT HAVE TO DECREASE VIS IN NEXT FORECAST PACKAGE FOR LATE TONIGHT. 14 && .FIRE WEATHER... A VERY MILD AND WET PATTERN WILL CONTINUE ACROSS CENTRAL ALABAMA THROUGH FRIDAY. THE POTENTIAL FOR SEVERE STORMS WILL CONTINUE INTO THURSDAY...ALONG WITH THE THREAT OF LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL. UNSEASONABLY WARM WEATHER WILL PREVAIL THIS WEEKEND BUT RAIN CHANCES WILL DECREASE. BETTER RAIN CHANCES RETURN ON MONDAY. && .BMX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... NONE. &&
