Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Huntsville AL
318 PM CDT Sat Jun 23 2018

.NEAR TERM...(Tonight)
Issued at 318 PM CDT Sat Jun 23 2018

Another round/cluster of tstms, associated with a passing shrtwv or
vort max aloft, impacted much of the cntrl TN Valley earlier today.
Damage reports though were fairly minimal with the only reports thus
far being a few trees down in a couple of locations, including one
cell that may have knocked one/two trees over in Lincoln Co. The last
small cluster of note on radar is currently moving ewd out of
Cullman Co, and may stay just south of the NE AL counties over the
next 1-2 hrs. Otherwise, light rain has just about exited NE AL to
the east this late Sat afternoon.

While there remains some low chances for perhaps a few additional
showers/tstms going into the evening period, especially with a
weak stalled frontal boundary north of the area and some lingering
moisture in place below H7, the prob for any additional convection is
diminishing and in fact, these rain chances may in fact be trimmed
further with the evening update. One thing that was not mentioned was
the prob for any patchy fog later tonight. For now, a good bit of
cloud cover, embedded within a somewhat zonal flow regime, continues
to traverse ewd across the region. This fact coupled with the chance
for an additional shower/tstm may limit the threat for any patchy fog
at this point, but this may change later this evening if cloud cover
begins to diminish/sct. Otherwise, another very mild night looks to
be in store for the mid TN Valley, with lows mainly in the upper
60s/near 70F range.

.SHORT TERM...(Sunday through Monday night)
Issued at 318 PM CDT Sat Jun 23 2018

The stalled front to the north actually begins to lift further to the
NNE as a warm front going into the latter half of the weekend period,
with a return flow setup well in place across most of the SE region.
The predom wly flow regime aloft also looks to give way to the
subtropical ridge axis strengthening across the cntrl Gulf region.
While this may not completely end rain chances Sun into Mon,
convective initiation may be more dependent on latent heating factors
during the afternoon, with tstms taking on the more typical pulse
characteristics of early summer convection. In fact, little change in
this pattern is xpcted going into Tue, with high pressure at the sfc
and aloft helping to control the overall wx pattern over the region.
Overall temps will also trend seasonably warm going into next week,
with highs mainly in the lower 90s while overnight lows trends predom
around the 70F mark.

.LONG TERM...(Tuesday through Friday)
Issued at 318 PM CDT Sat Jun 23 2018

The extended portion of the forecast begins Tuesday with an H5 high
encompassing much of the Srn CONUS, stretching from SoCAL Ewrd nearly
to the Carolinas. An upper low that was previously cutoff over the
Central Plains will finally begin to move E/NE toward the Great
Lakes. Around the base of this weak trof (and wedged in between the
ridge to the S/SW), disturbances will pinwheel, bringing rounds of
showers/storms in the form of MCSs overnight Tuesday into Wednesday.
This activity should remain W of the local CWFA, as the upper ridge
begins to retrograde Wwrd at the same time. However, the outflow
associated with this should spark additional showers/storms by
Wednesday morning, and especially Wednesday afternoon. Lift will be
enhanced over the Ern zones with the terrain in concert with this
outflow feature, and as such, the highest PoPs were located there
(lessening as you translate Wwrd across the area).

Thursday will be another day of scattered showers and storms as
what's left of the lift associated with the departing upper low
lingers in the region, again, with the highest PoPs in the NErn
counties/zones. By the end of the week, the upper ridge builds/slides
Ewrd overhead of the TN Valley as a trof comes ashore on the W Coast.
As the ridge shifts E of the area, E/SE flow will increase Gulf
Moisture across the area in time for the weekend, and with that,
increased chances for showers and storms. High-end chance/likely PoPs
are expected during this time.

As for temps, during the 'drier' half of the work week, daytime highs
will top out in the lower/middle 90s. Temps will decrease a few
degrees thanks to additional convection/associated cloud cover by
the weekend, with daytime temps during this time only topping out in
the upper 80s/low 90s. Morning lows will remain muggy through the
week, only dropping into the lower/middle 70s each morning. As in
days past, any locations that receive moderate/heavy rainfall stand a
pretty decent chance at developing some patchy/dense fog the
following morning, but this is too far out to formally include in the
grids just yet.

&&

.AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Sunday afternoon)
Issued at 1230 PM CDT Sat Jun 23 2018

The main convective line has now pretty much cleared the two primary
airports to the east, with just some lingering -shra remaining over
much of NW/N cntrl AL. Given the showers/tstms from earlier coupled
with the lingering -ra, lower cigs in the 2-3K ft range are in place
over parts of the area including the KHSV terminal. These conditions
should be improving heading into the evening hrs, as the -ra exits to
the east and slightly drier air mixes into the lower levels. Sfc
winds predom out of the SW near 10-12kt this afternoon will also
diminish slightly this evening.
