Area forecast discussion, Jul 9, 6:17 PM CDT, 2 hours 34 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion...UPDATED National Weather Service Huntsville AL 617 PM CDT SAT JUL 9 2016 .UPDATE... For 00Z TAFs. && .DISCUSSION... (Issued 552 PM CDT SAT JUL 9 2016) Radar trends indicate outflows spreading northward from band of convective activity in central AL. Thunderstorms that temporarily shifted south of Cullman County have already redeveloped as well. Latest HRRR supports the idea of convection in west central AL pivoting north and northeast with the outflows into our northwest counties this evening. In addition, more isolated cells in southern middle TN tied to an area of higher moisture and instability are now dropping south into Lincoln County. Will continue to assess these trends this evening. SPC mesoanalysis this hour also indicates surface and deep layer convergence increasing in our central and western counties as well. Have also adjusted corresponding QPF grids for tonight that were currently limited. && .AVIATION... For 00Z TAFs: In general, VFR conditions mostly expected through 00Z/11. TSRA show signs of trying to build back into the area, and could develop again tomorrow, but the uncertainty is too high to include specifics at this time. Guidance suggests some fog potential at KMSL toward daybreak, so a TEMPO for MVFR fog will be maintained in that TAF 08-12Z. Otherwise, scattered to broken mid-level clouds will persist, and may lower a bit tomorrow, but still should remain VFR with very light winds. BCC && .HUN Watches/Warnings/Advisories... AL...NONE. TN...NONE. && For more information please visit our website at weather.gov/huntsville.
