NWS Huntsville, AL wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Jun 28, 9:25 AM CST, 15 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE HUNTSVILLE AL 1025 AM CDT MON JUN 28 2004 .UPDATE... IR AND SURFACE THROUGH 500 MILLIBAR ANALYSIS THIS MORNING INDICATES THAT SHORT WAVE AS SHOWN BY MODELS IS MOVING THROUGH THE FA THIS MORNING. WEAK FRONTAL BOUNDARY CONTINUES TO MEANDER ALONG THE ALABAMA/TENNESSEE BORDER AS REFLECTED BY DEWPOINTS IN MY NORTH AND NORTHWEST COUNTIES IN THE MID 60S COMPARED WITH NEAR 70 DEWPOINTS FROM HUNTSVILLE EXTENDING EASTWARD TO ALABAMA/GEORGIA BORDER. WILL AMEND ZONES TO ADJUST PRECIP CHANCES UPWARD ACROSS TENNESSEE COUNTIES DUE TO INCREASED SHRA/EMBEDDED TSRA DEVELOPMENT ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA THIS MORNING. LATEST 88-D IMAGES FROM HTX AND GWX AND OHX ALL INDICATE THAT LIGHT/MODERATE RAIN WILL CONTINUE OVER NEXT FEW HOURS ACROSS ALL OF MY ZONES. WILL ALSO ADJUST DOWN TEMPS DUE TO CLOUDS/PRECIP FA-WIDE TO 75 TO 80 DEGREE RANGE. DO BELIVE THAT SHRA COVERAGE SHOULD BECOME MORE SCATTERED IN VARIETY BY AFTERNOON AND COULD SEE SOME BREAKS IN CLOUDS WHICH MAY ALLOW FOR TEMPS TO REBOUND FROM AROUND 70 DEGREES AT 15Z ACROSS THE FA. && .PREV DISCUSSION... VIPIR RADAR MOSAIC SHOWING ONE CLUSTER OF SHRA EXTENDING FROM SW TN INTO NE MS/NW AL WITH ANOTHER CLUSTER OF SHRA/TSRA FROM SRN AR INTO WEST CENTRAL MS. THIS 2ND CLUSTER OF PRECIP IS CERTAINLY THE MORE IMPRESSIVE OF THE TWO AND EXTRAPOLATION OF THE EWD MOVEMENT WOULD PLACE THE PRECIP ACROSS OUR FAR SRN AREAS LATER THIS MRNG. WATER VAPOR IMAGERY AND PROFILER DATA SHOWS A WELL-DEFINED S/W TROUGH PUSHING ACROSS SRN AR THIS MRNG...AND THE SHORT RANGE MODELS TRACK THE FEATURE ACROSS NRN AL IN THE 15-21Z TIME RANGE TODAY. AT THE SFC...A QUASI-STATIONARY BOUNDARY EXTENDED FROM NRN GA THROUGH EXTREME SRN TN INTO CENTRAL AR. 00Z RAOBS FROM OHX AND BMX PRETTY WELL TELL THE STORY OF THE AIRMASS CHANGE FROM ONE SIDE OF THE SFC-H8 FRONT TO THE OTHER. IN THE SHORT TERM...AM NOT PLANNING SIGNIFICANT CHANGES TO THE FCST. WILL TAPER POPS SLIGHTLY FROM SOUTH (HIGHEST) TO NORTH (LOWEST) BASED ON RADAR AND MODEL TRENDS. MUCH LIKE YDY...UVM WILL BE MAXIMIZED IN THE MRNG TO VERY EARLY AFTN TIME FRAME...WITH PERHAPS SOME SUBSIDENCE (SUN BREAKS?) LATE IN THE DAY. SPC HAS FAR SERN COUNTIES IN DAY1 SLIGHT RISK...BUT OVERALL THREAT LOOKS LOW UNLESS SUBSTANTIAL HEATING CAN BE REALIZED AHEAD OF S/W TROUGH PASSAGE. AT THIS TIME...THAT APPEARS UNLIKELY WITH PERHAPS BETTER POTENTIAL TO OUR SOUTH. STILL CANNOT RULE OUT AN ISOLD STRONG/MARGINALLY SEVERE CELL. WILL HOLD ONTO A SLGT CHC POP FOR EVENING SHRA/TSRA...BUT WOULD ANTICIPATE SOME CLEARING IN THE WAKE OF THE TROUGH PASSAGE TONIGHT. HOWEVER...THE SHORT RANGE MODELS HAVE NOW TRENDED TOWARD MAINTAINING/REINFORCING THE TROUGH ACROSS THE OH/TN VLYS THROUGH THE MID WEEK PERIOD. THIS...COUPLED WITH THE PRESENCE OF THE QUASI-STATIONARY BOUNDARY (OR THE REMNANTS OF IT)...MAY RESULT IN MORE OF AN ACTIVE PATTERN THAN PREVIOUSLY THOUGHT FOR THE COMING WORK WEEK. THE 00Z/28 AND 12Z/27 ECMWF BOTH INDICATE A FAIRLY WET/UNSETTLED 3-7 DAY PERIOD. THUS...HAVE TRENDED POPS UP AND TEMPS DOWN (SLIGHTLY) IN THE EXTENDED TIMEFRAME. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
