The radar

The Maxwell AFB radar (KMXX), 58 km from the middle of the area, began a volume at 16:37 UTC, the scan nearest the moment this went out.

The archived warnings, watches and discussions in force at that minute are drawn over the scan, this one among them.

Did it verify

Not verified. The Iowa Environmental Mesonet's Cow found no qualifying storm report inside this severe thunderstorm warning while it was in force. That is not proof nothing happened: reports are thin where few people live.

Cow counts a report within 15 km of the polygon while the warning was in force: a tornado for a tornado warning; hail of 1 inch or more, a gust of 58 mph or more or wind damage for a severe thunderstorm warning; a flash flood report for a flash flood warning.

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BIRMINGHAM AL
546 AM CST THU DEC 24 2015

.UPDATE...
AVIATION DISCUSSION.

&&

.SHORT TERM...
TODAY AND TONIGHT...

DEFINITELY FEELING LIKE AN ALABAMA CHRISTMAS OUT THERE THIS
MORNING. CURRENTLY AT 3 AM SITTING AT 73 DEGREES OVER 71 DEGREE
DEWPOINT. A COLD FRONT IS CURRENTLY STRETCHED ACROSS WESTERN
TENNESSEE DOWN TO NORTHERN LOUISIANA. THIS FRONT IS BARELY MOVING
EAST AND WILL LIKELY STALL BEFORE REACHING CENTRAL ALABAMA LATER
THIS MORNING. THE FRONT IS THEN EXPECTED TO BEGIN TO LIFT BACK TO
THE NORTH BY THE AFTERNOON AS A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM SLIDES FROM
CENTRAL OKLAHOMA TO WESTERN MISSOURI. THIS SHIFT NORTHWARD WILL
TAKE THE RAIN SHIELD BACK TO THE NORTH DURING THE DAY. SO WILL
HAVE HIGHEST RAIN CHANCES IN THE SOUTHEAST THIS MORNING AND THEN
SLIDE THEM NORTHWARD THROUGH THE AFTERNOON.

THIS WILL KEEP CENTRAL ALABAMA IN THE WARM SECTOR THE ENTIRE TIME
SO CANNOT RULE OUT AN ISOLATED SEVERE THUNDERSTORM FOR
TODAY/TONIGHT AND AGREE WITH SPC AND THEIR DAY 1 OUTLOOK. THE
BIGGEST QUESTION WILL BE THE FORCING NEEDED IN ADDITION TO WEAK
LAPSE RATES. THERE WILL BE ENOUGH BULK SHEAR AROUND TO KEEP STORMS
GOING BUT THE QUESTION WILL BE THE OVERALL COVERAGE AND STORM
STRUCTURE TO WARRANT ANYTHING MORE THAN A LIMITED POSSIBILITY.

16

.LONG TERM...
CHRISTMAS THROUGH WEDNESDAY...

THE AFOREMENTIONED FRONTAL BOUNDARY AND SURFACE LOW WILL
EVENTUALLY STALL OUT TO OUR NORTH ON FRIDAY AS THE MAIN FORCING
EXITS TO THE NORTHEAST. THIS WILL KEEP THE HIGHEST RAIN CHANCES
ACROSS THE FAR NORTHWESTERN COUNTIES FRIDAY THROUGH SUNDAY WITH
ISOLATED TO SCATTERED SHOWERS...WITH EMBEDDED STORMS AT TIMES
POSSIBLE ACROSS THE REST OF THE AREA. NO REAL ORGANIZED THREAT
AFTER FRIDAY AS THE FOCUS SHIFTS FURTHER WEST WITH A NEWLY
DEVELOPING LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM IN THE FOUR CORNERS AREA. THIS
SYSTEM WILL SLOWLY DEVELOP THROUGH THE WEEKEND AND WILL INTENSIFY
OVERNIGHT SUNDAY INTO MONDAY MORNING IN THE HEART OF TEXAS.

THE SURFACE LOW WILL SWING THROUGH LOUISIANA AND INTO SOUTHWESTERN
MISSOURI BY MIDNIGHT MONDAY NIGHT/TUESDAY MORNING. THIS WILL IN
TURN RAISE DEWPOINTS INTO THE UPPER 60S ACROSS THE AREA WITH AT
LEAST POTENTIALLY STRONG TO ISOLATED SEVERE STORMS ACROSS A GOOD
PORTION OF CENTRAL ALABAMA. WE WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR THE TREND
TO SEE IF THIS CONTINUES WITH THE NEXT FEW RUNS...BUT IF THE
MODELS CONTINUE TO TREND WITH THIS OVERALL TIMING AN ADDITION TO
THE HWO MAY BE NEEDED WITH FURTHER UPDATES.

THE SYSTEM EXITS TUESDAY AFTERNOON. THIS IS WHERE THE MODELS BEGIN
TO DIFFER AND CAUSES CONFIDENCE TO FALL QUITE A BIT. THE GFS
CONTINUES TO BRING IN A MUCH DRIER AIRMASS AFTER WEDNESDAY...WHILE
THE EURO ACTUALLY BRINGS SEVERAL WAVES FROM THE SOUTH AND KEEPS
THE AREA FAIRLY MOIST UNTIL NEXT FRIDAY. WILL TREND MORE TOWARD
THE GFS AS IT IS CLOSER TO THE OVERALL CONSENSUS OF THE LONGER
RANGE MODELS BUT WILL DO SO WITH FAIRLY LOW CONFIDENCE.

16

&&

.AVIATION...
12Z TAF DISCUSSION.

SEVERAL SOUTHWEST TO NORTHEAST ORIENTED LINES OF THUNDERSTORMS
TRAINING ACROSS CENTRAL ALABAMA. MOST TERMINALS ARE CLOSE TO AT
LEAST ONE OF THESE LINES...WHICH WILL REMAIN A FOCUS FOR CONVECTION
THROUGH AT LEAST THE FIRST 4-6 HOURS OF THE FORECAST PERIOD. THE
LINES WILL FLUCTUATE...AND COULD AFFECT TERMINALS AT TIMES. TCL AND
BHM ARE THE LEAST LIKELY TO HAVE TSRA OVER THE NEXT FEW HOURS. WILL
USE TEMPOS TO COVER ACTIVITY ELSEWHERE...AND WILL LIKELY NEED TO
UPDATE AS THE CONVECTIVE LINES TEETER BACK AND FORTH.

ACTIVITY WILL GRADUALLY DIMINISH THROUGH THE DAY. ALTHOUGH ISOLATED
COVERAGE WILL REMAIN POSSIBLE. EXPECT CIGS TO LOWER TONIGHT TO AT
LEAST IFR.

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.
