Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Birmingham AL
120 PM CDT Tue Jun 30 2020

.UPDATE...
Afternoon Update.

&&

.SHORT TERM...
/Updated at 0110 PM CDT Tue Jun 30 2020/

Features:

The forecast area remains between a closed low aloft over the
northeastern U.S. while ridging aloft was analyzed over much of
Mexico extending northeast across the Western Gulf of Mexico.
Multichannel moisture channel satellite imagery shows a
disturbance moving eastward in the largely zonal flow aloft across
the area. The mid and lower levels were being influenced by
ridging positioned to our southeast. Surface analysis this morning
shows higher pressures across our southern counties while lower
pressure was analyzed to our north and northwest.

Forecast:

Today.

We have already noted a few strong storms on radar since early
this morning. Sounding data indicates enough dry air is present
aloft to support a moderate wet microburst risk today and this
continues the trend of isolated strong storms that we have
experienced over the past few days.

Expect this impulse aloft to continue to ripple east across the
area this afternoon. Cloud cover will remain across much of our
northern and Central counties and will help keep temperatures
from rising as rapidly compared to our southeast counties. Shower
and thunderstorm activity is expected to be greatest across our
northern and northeast counties today but all areas can expect at
least isolated convective activity. Most of the storms will
contain lightning and heavy downpours. A few storms may be strong
with microbursts possible. Highs will reach into the low 90s
areawide with temporary cooling due to shower and thunderstorm
activity.

Tonight.

A convective complex is expected to develop to our northwest and
move toward the area but should weaken with time as it moves
across the Tennessee Valley region. Expect a continuation of
shower and thunderstorm activity in an isolated form with best
chances north and northeast. Lows tonight will range from around
70 northeast to readings in the mid 70s southwest and west.

Wednesday.

Showers and thunderstorms look to become scattered to numerous
tomorrow as a more vigorous impulse aloft dives southeast across
the Tennessee Valley into our area. With upper level support, the
combination of warm temperatures and high humidity values will
support shower and thunderstorm activity with some storms becoming
strong to severe with damaging winds and large hail possible. We
have expanded the marginal risk area to cover the entire forecast
area as more than one convective complex may develop to our
northwest and move southeast into the area. The convective
activity looks to persist into the evening as the unsettled
pattern remains across the area. Highs will range from the upper
80s northeast to the low 90s south and southwest.

05

.LONG TERM...
/Updated at 0342 AM CDT Tue Jun 30 2020/

Wednesday night through Monday.

Ridging persists just to our west Wednesday night as a shortwave
dips southward through the TN Valley into Central AL overnight. This
shortwave will provide enough lift with the moist environment in
place to provide for numerous showers and thunderstorms to continue
through the overnight hours. The strong to severe storms forecasted
for Wednesday afternoon may easily linger into the evening and
overnight hours as instability will still be in place and the
forcing persists overnight. The question will be just how far
southwest the threat materializes.

The upper level shortwave develops into a weak upper level low
Thursday and lingers over the Gulf States through the early part of
next week at the least. This will lead to more coverage of
thunderstorms every afternoon and could allow for the showers/storms
to linger a little longer into the overnight hours than is typical
for our normal summertime pattern. Overall, the rest of this week
and into the holiday weekend looks to be hot, muggy, and messy. High
temperatures will be in the upper 80s to low 90s with dewpoints in
the low to mid 70s, making heat indices approach 100 each afternoon.
I think the numerous showers/thunderstorms could put a damper on the
heat somewhat, but only in locations where the thunderstorms develop
around the time of peak heating. The higher dewpoints will also
limit overnight cooling, keeping low temps in the low 70s for most
of the area.

.AVIATION...
18Z TAF Discussion.

Showers and thunderstorms will continue to develop this afternoon
and linger into this evening. Have included TSRA at ASN and MGM
for impending weather at this time. Expect additional development
that may affect ANB and TOI later this afternoon. Generally SCT
clouds will persist tonight with ceilings expected to remain above
restrictive criteria. More convection will develop Wednesday with
best chances north and east with a greater coverage forecast
compared to today.

05

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...

Shower and thunderstorms expected to continue each afternoon this
week as an active weather pattern persists. The humid air mass
will also remain in place with min RHs remaining elevated in the
50-75% range through the weekend. Winds will be generally light
and out of the west today and tomorrow, shifting more northerly by
Thursday and easterly by the end of the week.
