MESOSCALE UPDATE.

.DISCUSSION...

OUTSIDE OF A SMALL POSSIBILITY OF A FEW ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS
THAT MAY PRODUCE HAIL... THE SEVERE WEATHER THREAT HAS NEARLY
ENDED ACROSS THE WESTERN PORTION OF THE STATE. A LINE OF
THUNDERSTORMS WAS MOVING TO THE EAST FROM WESTERN ETOWAH COUNTY
SOUTHWEST INTO SHELBY COUNTY SOUTH INTO WESTERN CHILTON COUNTY AND
FURTHER SOUTHWEST TO NEAR SELMA. ANOTHER PERSISTENT COMPLEX OF
THUNDERSTORMS WAS LOCATED ACROSS NORTHERN MACON COUNTY AND WAS
AFFECTING PORTIONS OF SOUTHERN TALLAPOOSA... SOUTHWEST
CHAMBERS... AND WESTERN LEE COUNTIES.

SURFACE-BASED INSTABILITY HAS BEEN DECREASING IN AREAS AFFECTED BY
THE THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY THIS EVENING WITH THE MOST UNSTABLE
AIRMASS REMAINING ACROSS OUR FAR SOUTHEAST COUNTIES. CONDITIONS
WILL CONTINUE TO STABILIZE OVERNIGHT ACROSS THE NORTHERN AND
CENTRAL PORTIONS OF OUR AREA.

MXX VAD WIND PROFILE CONTINUES TO INDICATE SOUTHERLY NEAR SURFACE
WINDS AT ABOUT 10 KNOTS WITH SOUTHWEST WINDS ABOVE 3000 FEET...
INCREASING FROM 25 KNOTS AT 2000 FEET TO 50 KNOTS AT 13000 FEET.
THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE CAPABLE OF PRODUCING STRONG WINDS ALONG WITH
ROTATION AND THE RISK OF ISOLATED TORNADOES WILL CONTINUE ACROSS
OUR SOUTHEAST COUNTIES. MANY OF THE STORMS THIS EVENING HAVE
PRODUCED HAIL AND THAT WILL REMAIN A THREAT WITH THESE STORMS
THROUGH THE NIGHT.

AN URBAN AND SMALL STREAM FLOOD ADVISORY IS IN EFFECT TO THE WEST
OF MONTGOMERY... INCLUDING SELMA. RELATIVELY SLOW STORM MOTIONS
ALONG WITH THE PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUE OF 1.34 INCHES RECORDED ON
THE 00Z BMX SOUNDING WILL SUPPORT THE POTENTIAL FOR LOCALLY HEAVY
DOWNPOURS THAT MAY RESULT IN LOCALIZED PONDING OF WATER IN LOW
LYING AND POOR DRAINAGE AREAS.

05

&&

.AVIATION...
00Z TAF DISCUSSION.

NEXT ROUND OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS POISED TO SWEEP ACROSS
CENTRAL ALABAMA DURING THE NEXT 6-8 HOURS....LIKELY AFFECTING MOST
(IF NOT ALL) CENTRAL ALABAMA TAF SITES. BEFORE THE RAIN...
CEILINGS WERE BOUNCING OVER AND UNDER THE 3000 FT MARK. I THINK
THE MAIN ROUND OF STORMS WILL MOVE ACROSS DURING THE 00Z TO 06Z
PERIOD...BUT SOME SHOWERS MAY LINGER FOR SEVERAL HOURS AFTER THAT.
COMPUTER MODEL OUTPUT STRONGLY SUGGESTS CEILINGS IN THE MVFR
CATEGORY (AT BEST) THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE NIGHT (EVEN AFTER
THE RAIN MOVES OUT). TRIED MY BEST TO TIME THE WIND SHIFT
ASSOCIATED WITH COLD FRONT PASSAGE. FRONT MAY ACTUALLY NOT GET TO
TOI DURING THIS TAF VALID PERIOD.

/61/

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...

MOISTURE VALUES WILL CONTINUE TO INCREASE THIS MORNING AS RAIN AND
STORMS MOVE INTO WEST CENTRAL ALABAMA...AND MOVE EASTWARD ACROSS THE
AREA THROUGH THE MORNING. GUSTY SOUTH TO SOUTHEASTERLY WINDS ARE
EXPECTED TODAY...OUTSIDE OF ANY CONVECTION. ADDITIONAL STORMS ARE
EXPECTED LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND OVERNIGHT. A SLOW MOVING FRONT WILL
STALL ACROSS THE AREA...AND ADDITIONAL ROUNDS OF MODERATE TO HEAVY
RAINFALL AND STORMS ARE POSSIBLE THROUGH FRIDAY EVENING. THE THREAT
OF RAIN WILL END ONCE THE FRONT CLEARS THE AREA FRIDAY NIGHT. DRY
CONDITIONS RETURN FOR THE WEEKEND. NO CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER
CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED THROUGH THE FORECAST PERIOD.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...

MOST OF THE HEAVIER RAIN SO FAR HAS BEEN IN OUR NORTHWEST
COUNTIES(I.E., MARION, LAMAR, WINSTON, FAYETTE AND WALKER) WHERE
AMOUNTS SO FAR HAVE AVERAGED ONE TO TWO INCHES...WITH VERY LOCALIZED
TOTALS TO THREE INCHES.  ELSEWHERE MOST LOCATIONS HAVE RECEIVED AN
INCH OR LESS SO FAR.  ALTHOUGH USGS GAGES INDICATE STREAM FLOWS NOW
AT OR SOMEWHAT ABOVE NORMAL IN THE NORTHWEST COUNTIES...MOST OTHER
STREAMS STILL REMAIN NEAR OR BELOW NORMAL LEVELS. THIS SUGGESTS THAT
MOST AREA STREAMS CAN STILL HANDLE A FAIR AMOUNT OF RUNOFF FROM THE
RAINFALL THAT IS YET TO COME TONIGHT INTO FRIDAY.  FLOOD WARNINGS
ARE CURRENTLY ISSUED FOR THE TOMBIGBEE RIVER AND FOR SELDEN DAM ON
THE LOWER BLACK WARRIOR FOR MINOR FLOODING.  BEFORE ALL IS SAID AND
DONE COULD STILL SEE A FEW OTHER LOCATIONS REACH MINOR FLOOD STAGE
BUT STILL NOT EXPECTING MAJOR FLOOD EVENT TO UNFOLD ON AREA RIVERS.
AT THIS TIME MODELS SUGGEST THERE COULD BE ANOTHER ROUND OF HEAVY
RAIN (PERHAPS ONE TO TWO INCH AVERAGES) ACROSS SOME OF OUR NORTHERN
AREAS TONIGHT. THEN LIKELY TO SEE ANOTHER ROUND OF SIMILAR TOTALS
DEVELOP ACROSS THE EXTREME SOUTHERN SECTIONS FRIDAY AFTERNOON AND
EVENING. IN GENERAL EXPECT ANOTHER ONE TO THREE INCHES ACROSS
CENTRAL ALABAMA BY THE TIME THE RAIN TAPERS OFF BY EARLY
SATURDAY...WITH LOCALIZED HIGHER TOTALS POSSIBLE IN AREAS OF
TRAINING ECHOES.

.PREV DISCUSSION...
/ISSUED 834 PM CDT THU MAR 31 2016/

00Z KBMX SOUNDING AGREES WITH VAD WIND PROFILES FROM BMX AND MXX
THAT LOW LEVEL WIND FIELDS HAVE INTENSIFIED FROM EARLIER THIS
AFTERNOON. DIRECTIONAL AND SPEED SHEAR IN THE LOWER LEVELS OF THE
ATMOSPHERE ARE FAVORABLE FOR ROTATING STORMS AND POSSIBLE
TORNADOES.

SURFACE DATA INDICATES TEMPERATURES THROUGHOUT NEARLY ALL OF OUR
AREA HAVE CLIMBED INTO THE 70S WITH EXCEPTION FOR ETOWAH...
CHEROKEE... AND PORTIONS OF EASTERN BLOUNT AND NORTHERN SAINT
CLAIR COUNTIES. DEW POINTS HAVE CONTINUED TO INCREASE WITH
READINGS IN THE 60S ACROSS ALL OF OUR COUNTIES.

AREA VAD WIND PROFILERS HAVE NOT INDICATED THE PRESENCE OF A LOW
LEVEL JET AT THIS TIME... THROUGH WIND FIELDS HAVE STRENGTHENED
SINCE THIS AFTERNOON. SUFFICIENT DIRECTIONAL WIND SHEAR EXISTS TO
SUPPORT ROTATING THUNDERSTORMS AND TORNADOES. THE DEVELOPMENT OF A
LOW LEVEL JET AS INDICATED BY MOST NUMERICAL MODELS WILL ONLY
INCREASE THE FAVORABILITY OF THE ENVIRONMENT FOR TORNADO
DEVELOPMENT.

CLUSTERS OF THUNDERSTORMS ARE BEGINNING TO CONGEAL INTO A BROKEN
LINE OF THUNDERSTORMS EXTENDING FROM EASTERN WINSTON COUNTY SOUTH
TOWARD JASPER FURTHER SOUTH TO JUST WEST OF TUSCALOOSA AND FURTHER
SOUTHWEST TOWARDS DEMOPOLIS. EXPECT THIS LINE TO CONTINUE TO
DEVELOP OVER THE NEXT FEW HOURS. A CLUSTER OF STRONG THUNDERSTORMS
WEST OF MONTGOMERY WILL LIKELY CONTINUE TO DEVELOP AS IT MOVES
EAST NORTHEAST TOWARD MONTGOMERY. POTENTIAL EXISTS FOR ADDITIONAL
DEVELOPMENT ALONG AND AHEAD OF THE LINE OF STORMS THROUGH THIS
EVENING AS A MOIST... UNSTABLE AIRMASS REMAINS IN PLACE WITH
SUFFICIENT WIND SHEAR. A TORNADO WATCH WAS RECENTLY LOCALLY
EXTENDED TO INCLUDE ALL OF OUR EASTERN ALABAMA COUNTIES.
