AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE HUNTSVILLE AL
736 PM CDT THU MAR 31 2016

.MESOSCALE UPDATE...
SCATTERED STRONG TO SEVERE SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS CONTINUE TO
DEVELOP EAST OF AN APPROACHING COLD FRONT THAT IS STILL OVER EASTERN
ARKANSAS STRETCHING SOUTHWEST INTO NORTHWESTERN LOUISIANA. TWO AREAS
OF STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS HAVE BEEN DEVELOPING OVER THE PAST FEW
HOURS. ONE IN SOUTHERN MIDDLE TENNESSEE AND A SECOND AREA AFFECTING
LOCATIONS SOUTHWEST OF A LINE FROM CHEROKEE IN COLBERT COUNTY TO
COLONY IN CULLMAN COUNTY. OVER THE PAST HOUR...SOME OF THESE STORMS
NEAR THE TN/AL STATE LINE HAVE BEEN SEVERE AND INDICATING ROTATION
PROMPTING SOME TORNADO WARNINGS. THIS IS LIKELY DUE TO THE BOUNDARY
THAT STRETCHES FROM EXTREME NORTHWEST ALABAMA EAST SOUTHEAST INTO
NORTHERN MARSHALL COUNTY...WHICH IS ENHANCING LOW LEVEL HELICITY. SPC
RUC MESOANALYSIS DEPICTS MOST OF THE LOW LEVEL HELICITY ORIENTED
SOUTH OF THIS BOUNDARY. EARLIER CLEARING THIS AFTERNOON HAS ALLOWED
SURFACE BASED CAPE TO BUILD TO BETWEEN 500 J/KG TO 1500 J/KG NEAR THE
AL/MS STATE LINE ORIENTED IN A GRADIENT FROM NORTHEAST TO SOUTHWEST
SIMILAR TO THIS BOUNDARY. SPC RUC ANALYSIS SHOWS THIS CAPE MAY HAVE
DROPPED TO BETWEEN 500 J/KG AND 1000 J/KG...WITH THE HIGHEST CAPE
STILL SOUTHWEST OF A LINE MOULTON TO CULLMAN COUNTY.

WITH VERY STRONG SHEAR AND HELICITY STILL PLACE AND DEWPOINTS IN THE
MID TO UPPER 60S AHEAD OF THE MAIN FRONT OVER WESTERN MISSISSIPPI...A
SEVERE THREAT INCLUDING TORNADOES...LARGE HAIL...AND DAMAGING WINDS
REMAIN POSSIBLE.

THIS BOUNDARY HAS MOVED NORTH OVER THE PAST FEW HOURS AND IN
NORTHEASTERN ALABAMA WILL LIKELY CONTINUE TO SLOWLY PUSH NORTH
THROUGH MIDNIGHT. ALTHOUGH NORTHEASTERN ALABAMA AND FRANKLIN COUNTY
TN AREA MUCH MORE STABLE RIGHT NOW...THIS COULD CHANGE OVER THE NEXT
HOUR OR TWO. OVER THE LAST HOUR...0-1 HELICITY LOOKS LIKE IT IS
CONTINUE TO INCREASE...AS SURFACE WINDS HAVE BACKED MORE TO THE EAST
OVERALL. A TORNADO WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL FOR ALL COUNTIES
IN THE HUNTSVILLE FORECAST AREA EXCEPT DEKALB COUNTY. THIS COULD BE
ADDED BEFORE THE NIGHT IS DONE.
