.SHORT TERM...
Today and Tonight.

Currently watching several waves of rainfall moving through the
area the morning. Heaviest rains are along and north of I-22/I-20
and along I-65. Also watching the next band of rainfall developing
just south of Greenville and moving northward. There will be a
brief lull in the SW with only isolated to scattered showers as a
dry slot works into the area but that will go ahead by 7 AM and
the area will fill back in. Thus will keep the flash flood watch
for this area. SPC has also put the southern tier of counties in a
tornado watch as this band moves into the region. We have been
monitoring the over trends and see no reason to not agree with
this assessment. The main tornado threat for the day will be for
counties along and west of the I-65 corridor as the bands develop
and slide north through the area.

As we work into the evening hours we will see the bands begin to
diminish in size and intensity as most of the activity will shift
further west closer the center of Cindy. This may provide another
little lull in activity across much of Alabama through the night.
With that said though any banding that does develop could produce
locally heavy rains.

.LONG TERM...

As we work into Friday, we will see the second stage of this
tropical system begin to impact the area. The low pressure system
itself will move into western Tennessee and then slide east
northeast and begin to merge with a cold front. As the low gets
closer to the area we will see an increase in showers and storms
once again, this time along and north of the I-20 corridor. We may
need to issue a new flash flood watch as this system draws closer.
Despite that there will also be a threat for tornadoes with any
line that develops and moves through the area particularly in the
afternoon and into the evening hours.

By Saturday, Cindy will have merged with a cold front coming down
from the north and be well removed from the area. However, the
front, the continued moist air mass, and a lingering weakness in
the subtropical ridge will result in a continued wet pattern
through the weekend, with the potential for continued flooding
concerns. As is typical, the GFS is quicker with the progression
of the front than the ECMWF and will stick closer to the slower
solution. But by Monday/Monday night the cold front is expected to
pass through the area as a trough amplifies over the East Coast. A
second cold front will move through and provide a cool airmass for
this time of the year for the upcoming week.

.AVIATION...
00Z TAF Discussion.

Broken clouds with CIGs bordering between MVFR and VFR across
most of the area. Expect this to continue the next 24 hours across
TAF sites. Have mentioned VCSH for each terminal due to the
scattered nature of showers/storms through the overnight hours and
tomorrow. Have been monitoring a storm in western Alabama moving
northward, so have a TEMPO in for TCL for TSRA. Otherwise, expect
coverage of storms to increase towards the end of the TAF period
from west to east. I don't have the confidence to put in TSRA for
a specific time as 6-8 hour difference exists in the timing
between guidance solutions. Winds generally southerly to
southwesterly, gusting at times to 15-18kts.

25/Owen

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...

Scattered to widespread showers and storms are expected through
the next several days with a moist airmass in place. The best
chance of rain will occur Thursday and Friday. A cold front will
then swing into the area for the weekend adding in more rain
chances through Sunday. Drier are will work into the area on
Monday and Tuesday. There are no fire weather concerns.

720 PM CDT Thu Jun 22 2017

This Hazardous Weather Outlook is for the counties served by the
National Weather Service office in Birmingham.

.DAY ONE...Through Tonight.

Flash flooding will be possible mainly west of a line from Gadsden to
Clanton To Linden. Many parts of Central Alabama have received 2 to 4
inches of rain in the past day or so, and an additional 2 inches of
rain is possible through Friday. Any heavy rain will have the
potential of causing flash flooding on the already saturated ground.
This Flash Flood Watch may need to be expanded in time or area at a
later time.

There is a threat for brief tornadoes overnight. What is left of
Tropical System Cindy was well west and northwest of Central Alabama,
but the rain bands associated with this system will still affect the
area. All areas in Central Alabama have some potential.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Friday through Wednesday.

There is a threat for brief tornadoes and isolated damaging wind
gusts on Friday. The main window on Friday will be during the
afternoon and evening hours as the remnants of Cindy move just
northwest of Central Alabama.

A risk of flash flooding will continue Friday. An additional 2 inches
is possible through Friday which will have the potential to produce
flooding issues. Some threat may extend into Saturday too.

Rainfall the past few days has caused rises on area rivers. The
rivers will continue rising but any flooding looks to be minor at
this time.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

Activation of storm spotters and Emergency Management may be needed
now through Saturday due to the multiple threats across the area.
