Area Forecast Discussion

227 PM CDT Tue Jun 14 2022

.SHORT TERM...
/Updated at 1214 PM CDT Tue Jun 14 2022/

High pressure over the south is allowing for mid level flow to be
weak and from the east. Thunderstorms currently moving through
Georgia will slowly continue west and south around this high
pressure...moving into southeastern Alabama through the afternoon
and early evening. Instabilities are between 4000 and 5000 J/kg
with steep lapse rates and DCAPE around 1000 to 1500 J/kg. Forcing
will be somewhat limited...but any outflow boundaries from the
storms in Georgia could provide enough lift for a few storms to
become severe with damaging downburst winds and quarter size hail as
the main threats. With the weak low and mid level winds...as well
as PW values greater than the 90th percentile for this time of
year...would expect flooding to be a threat this afternoon and
evening as well from storms producing high rain rates over the
same areas.

The greatest chance for any strong and isolated severe
storms...as well as flooding will be in the southeastern third of
the area where the greatest instability is. Showers and
thunderstorms could be located across areas in the eastern and
central Alabama...though these should remain below severe limits.

Overnight...activity should continue through the early night...and
weaken after sunset. By early morning...there should only be light
drizzle across the southeast. The rest of the morning should
remain rain free...with afternoon showers and thunderstorms again
developing around mid day Wednesday. Instabilities will be
slightly higher tomorrow with PW values almost max for this time
of year. Winds will again be light...with very little movement to
any storms that develop. With so much instability...storms could
become severe Wednesday afternoon with damaging winds and quarter
size hail as the main threats...along with flooding.

High temperatures today will be in the mid to upper 90s. With the
high PW values and moisture in the air, the heat indices will be
in the triple digits for several hours across the state this
afternoon. Low temperatures tonight will be in the low to mid 70s.
Wednesday...high temperatures will be in the upper 90s with heat
indices in the triple digits. A few areas may reach heat indices
above 105. A Heat Advisory will be continued today through
tomorrow afternoon.

.LONG TERM...
/Updated at 0158 PM CDT Tue Jun 14 2022/

Thursday through Monday.

Rain chances are looking a little lower Thursday across east Alabama
as the remnants of Wednesday's storms shift westward towards
Mississippi. Still a lot of uncertainty on Friday as an upper
trof approaches from the north. It seems models are under-
forecasting convective activity on Friday, but stayed with low
rain chances at this time. The main headline Thursday and Friday
will be the heat with afternoon heat indices at or above 105
degrees. There may be some places that hit 110 Thursday and again
on Friday. The only relief will be a drop in humidity over the
weekend, so heat indices should stay below 105 degrees.

Previous long-term discussion:
/Updated at 0335 AM CDT Tue Jun 14 2022/

Thursday through Monday.

Small-scale disturbances tied to convection from previous days will
continue to rotate around a 500mb ridge centered near Memphis on
Thursday. A plume of steep lapse rates associated with a continental
airmass will also continue to circulate around the ridge. With
temperatures in the mid and dewpoints in the low to mid 70s, SBCAPE
values of 3000-4500 J/kg may be realized if the atmosphere has
recovered from the previous day's convection. This could set the
stage for another afternoon with explosive thunderstorm development.
The anticipated location of potential convection is not certain and
will be depend on the evolution of convection the previous day. If
storms do form, they could produce microbursts and microbursts along
with a tremendous amount of lightning. The threat for severe storms
on Thursday could be added to the HWO as details become clearer.

As the ridge shifts toward the Plains and a trough develops across
the eastern CONUS, a surface trough and cold front is expected to
develop from the Carolinas westward into Alabama. This will support
isolated scattered convection. On Saturday, northerly flow will push
the front southward as high pressure strengthens and moves southward
into the Ohio Valley. This should bring dry conditions to the region
for Saturday through Monday.

.AVIATION...
18Z TAF Discussion.

Showers and thunderstorms will slowly develop and move into the
southern half of the state through the afternoon. Confidence is
low on timing and coverage of thunderstorms impacting each TAF
site...so kept VCTS in at mainly KMGM and KTOI for mid to late
afternoon through the early evening. Activity should continue
through the early night with a break by the early morning on
Wednesday. Convection will again develop Wednesday around midday.

24

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...

Scattered thunderstorms will continue across the southern counties
through early this evening, some producing gusty winds of 30-50
mph. Thunderstorms will re-develop again Wednesday afternoon,
some severe. Above normal daytime temperatures through the Friday
with highs in the middle to upper 90s. A Heat Advisory is in
effect through Wednesday. Expect light and variable 20 ft winds
through Wednesday.
