.SHORT TERM...
/Updated at 0420 AM CDT Wed Jun 08 2022/

Today through Thursday.

This AM in the upper levels shortwave feature is moving through the
WNW flow across C AL with nocturnal showers and thunderstorms
occurring across mainly the N half of the area. This feature will
continue EWD this morning into the afternoon. We should see a lull
and then another shortwave will go across with more convection for
this afternoon into tonight. At the surface, a previous boundary
will weaken and give way to a front to push into the area tonight
from the NW. We should have enough NW flow to push it through much
of the area, but the front may be a little slower with the southerly
progress for the SRN half of the area for Thursday. Will keep some
low pops in for Thursday to account for it slowing down.

Severe messaging remains similar for today for the area. The
exception will be for the "timing". With multiple waves, a severe
threat will be present today into this evening with enough forcing
and instability with the shortwaves. Each area will not have the
threat the whole time with two waves and a break in between, but
confusion sets in trying to time each one separately for messaging.
Strong to severe winds, hail and heavy rain at times will be the
threats. The break in between will help with any flooding threats.
Will forgo a flood watch at this time, but locally heavy rain may
cause problems in spots especially in urban areas.

.LONG TERM...
/Updated at 0345 AM CDT Wed Jun 08 2022/

Friday and Saturday.

In the ever changing round of weather, looks like Friday is a little
better in terms of severe weather. With the boundary sliding south
of our area on Thursday night, it will be tough to get it to slide
back north before the next disturbance moves in. Still see a round
of strong to severe storms, especially in our southwest. Will re-
orient the risk on Friday, but will stay with a marginal/slight risk
for now, with the possibility of only needing a marginal as we draw
closer. Messaging wise though still looking at hail and wind the
bigger threats. The front/boundary will be exiting to our south on
Saturday with rain chances shifting to the south. Could be a
stronger storm Saturday afternoon in the far southeast, right now
chances are too low for any mention of severe storms at this time
for Saturday.

Sunday through Tuesday.

Looking at a period of dry weather coming up for the second half of
the weekend and into the early part of the next week. Could sneak
out a few isolated showers in the far south on Tuesday as moisture
begins to return the area.

The bigger issue will be the warmth that will show up. While typical
for the summer, we will see several days of 94 to 97 degree weather
beginning Monday. With the rainfall we have had there will be some
ground moisture that could increase heat indices as well. Right now
we remain below heat advisory criteria as some differences in the
models are to be accounted for. The current forecast, while in range
of the model blends, is on the higher side of the range. With that
said the range is only a degree or two, so confidence in seeing some
mid to upper 90s is growing. Will continue to fine tune the forecast
over the next few days and see if any heat products will be needed.
For now though make plans if you will be outdoors for a prolonged
period next week to stay hydrated.

.AVIATION...
06Z TAF Discussion.

Multiple rounds of showers and thunderstorms will be possible
across C AL with NW flow shortwave activity. Some MVFR cig/vsbys
will be possible this morning with the first wave activity
especially NE areas near BHM/ASN/ANB. This afternoon and evening
convection could spread further S affecting more of the TAFs with
a second round of storms.

08

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...

Several rounds of rain and thunderstorms are expected through
Thursday, as shortwaves interact with a frontal boundary.
Minimum afternoon RH values will be above 40 percent each day. 20ft
winds will be from the southwest to west at 5-10mph through today
and then become northwesterly Thursday. Rain returns on Friday and
exits again by Saturday night. Dry conditions once again on Sunday
with warmer temperatures in by next week.
