AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE HUNTSVILLE AL 255 PM CDT MON JUN 27 2005 .DISCUSSION... MORE SHOWERS AND STORMS HAVE POPPED UP OVER THE AREA THIS AFTERNOON AS A PESKY UPPER LOW CONTINUES TO SPIN ABOVE THE TENNESSEE VALLEY. TEMPS HAVE BEEN ABLE TO REBOUND INTO THE MID AND EVEN UPPER 80S WHERE IT HAS NOT RAINED...BUT KHSV IS DOWN TO AROUND 80 WITH RAIN. THIS WILL BE THE CONTINUED PATTERN FOR THE NEXT COUPLE DAYS. THE SMALL DIFFERENCE WILL COME IN THAT THE UPPER ENERGY WILL NOT BE AS ORGANIZED THE NEXT COUPLE DAYS SO GRADUALLY COVERAGE SHOULD DECREASE DAY BY DAY. THURSDAY IS THE INTERESTING DAY IN THE FORECAST. IT APPEARS WE WILL BE IN BETWEEN SYSTEMS AND IN AN AREA OF SUBSIDENCE AND UPPER RIDGING. ON TOP OF THAT...WE HAVE THE ALWAYS INTERESTING SWLY SURFACE WIND FLOW. WITH ALL THIS IN MIND...THURSDAY COULD BE A VERY WARM DAY. HAVE BOOSTED HIGHS INTO THE MID 90S AND IF NO RAIN OCCURS...I COULD BE LOW. ALSO WILL INCLUDE PATCHY FOG EACH OF THE FIRST THREE NIGHTS. WINDS ARE SO LIGHT THAT ITS ALMOST A GIVEN. EXTENDED (FRIDAY THROUGH MONDAY)... BY FRIDAY THE UPPER RIDGE RETROGRADES AND IT IS POSSIBLE SOME WEAK DISTURBANCES IN THE FAR SOUTHERN PORTION OF THE WESTERLIES COULD SNEAK BACK IN HERE. THE GFS EVEN DEPICTS A COLD FRONT MOVING THROUGH IN THE FRIDAY/SATURDAY TIME FRAME. I HAVE A HARD TIME BUYING THIS AT THIS POINT...AND HAVE ELECTED TO KEEP US SOUTH OF THE FRONT. HOWEVER...THE FACT THAT IT WILL BE CLOSEST FRIDAY DOES DICTATE GOING WITH LOWER TEMPS THAN THURSDAY...AND A HIGHER RAIN CHANCE. FOR THE REST OF THE EXTENDED...JUST GOING WITH A GENERAL CLIMATOLOGY FORECAST...WITH SLIGHT CHANCE POPS EACH DAY. OVERALL...LITTLE CHANGE WAS MADE TO THE EXTENDED PERIODS. HOLIDAY FAST FACT... JULY 4TH AT THIS POINT LOOKS VERY TYPICAL FOR SUMMERTIME WITH HIGHS AROUND 90 AND AFTERNOON SHOWERS AND STORMS. LOOKING BACK OVER THE LAST 20 YEARS IN HUNTSVILLE...WE HAVE SEEN 10 YEARS WITH RAINFALL... AND 10 YEARS WITHOUT RAINFALL ON JULY 4TH. JUST MORE PROOF THAT RAIN IN THE SUMMERTIME REALLY IS A HIT-OR-MISS PROPOSITION. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
