AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BIRMINGHAM AL 1027 AM CDT MON JUN 6 2005 .UPDATE FOR TODAY... MOIST AIR MASS OVER THE FORECAST AREA HAS BEEN COOKING THIS MORNING UNDER SUNNY SKIES. CUMULUS CLOUDS STARTED TO FORM AROUND 84 DEGREES...AND EXPECT CLOUD COVER AND CONVECTION TO RAMP UP INTO THE AFTERNOON HOURS.

PRECIPITABLE WATER WAS UP TO 1.55 AT 12Z...BUT LATEST LAPS SOUNDINGS HAS PW UP TO 1.77 INCHES. EXPECT LIFTED INDICES AND SBCAPES TO BE AROUND -6 TO -8 AND 3500 TO 4500 J/KG RESPECTIVELY THIS AFTERNOON. OLD MCV OVER MISSISSIPPI MAY NOT MOVE MUCH TODAY...BUT ONGOING CONVECVTION HAS ALREADY KICKED OUT OUTFLOW BOUNDARIES AND GRAVITY WAVES INTO ALABAMA. WET MICROBURST POTENTIAL IS HIGH THIS AFTERNOON. THE STRONGEST THUNDERSTORMS...WITH AT LEAST 65 DBZ REFLECTIVITIES ALOFT...WILL BE CAPABLE OF PRODUCING 50 KNOT WIND GUSTS.

HE ALSO BUMPED UP THE MAXIMUM TEMPERATURES A LITTLE BASED ON CURRENT READINGS. 03 && PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...ISSUED AT 431 AM CDT DISCUSSION...THE GENERAL WEATHER PATTERN LOOKS TO BE STUCK IN A BIT OF AN EARLY SUMMER RUT...WITH BROAD UPPER LEVEL RIDGING ALONG THE EAST COAST...AND TROUGHING OVER THE WESTERN STATES. ALTHOUGH THE OVERALL SITUATION WILL BE SOMEWHAT STAGNANT...WEAK DISTURBANCES IN THE UPPER FLOW...AND SLIGHT VARIATIONS IN THE LOW LEVELS WILL BRING AT LEAST SOME VARIETY TO THE FORECAST THROUGH THE WEEK. THERE IS SOME INDICATION THAT THE PATTERN WILL BEGIN TO BREAK DOWN NEXT WEEKEND...HINTING AT A SHIFT TO A MORE SUMMER LIKE REGIME. SHORT TERM...(TODAY THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT) THE PRESENCE OF ABOVE NORMAL AND ABUNDANT LOW LEVEL MOISTURE WILL BE ONE OF THE MORE PROMINENT FACTORS IN THE SHORT TERM FORECAST. UPPER LEVEL SHORT WAVES EJECTING OUT OF THE WESTERN TROUGH WILL CONTINUE TO FIRE CONVECTION OVER TEXAS AND THE PLAINS STATES. MCVS AND CONVECTIVE REMNANTS WILL CONTINUE TO TRACK EASTWARD ACROSS THE DEEP SOUTH...WHERE THE INTERACTION OF THE MOIST BOUNDARY LAYER...AND THE PROXIMITY OF THE SEA BREEZE FRONT WILL COMBINE TO REFIRE CONVECTION. THE TIMING AND IMPACT OF THESE FEATURES WILL MAKE A BIG DIFFERENCE IN THE FORECAST. OVERNIGHT TEMPS WILL CONTINUE TO RUN A TAD ABOVE NORMAL...HIGH TEMPS CLOSE TO CLIMO...AND POPS AT OR ABOVE CLIMO THROUGH THE PERIOD. FOR TODAY...THE FIRST MCV OF THE PERIOD IS FORECAST TO PASS ACROSS THE AREA. REMNANTS OF LAST NIGHTS CONVECTION ARE CONTINUING TO ERODE...WITH CLOUD TOP WARMING EVIDENT. AT THE SAME TIME... CONVECTION IS ALREADY BEGINNING TO REFIRE ALONG THE PERIPHERY OF THE MCV...AHEAD OF THE VORT CENTER REPRESENTED WELL IN THE RUC AND NAM. HAD SOME DOUBT AS TO THE IMPACTS OF CLOUD COVER FROM THE REMNANTS...BUT AS THE CLOUDS CONTINUE TO ERODE...SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM CHANCES ARE LOOKING BETTER AND BETTER FOR TODAY. BELIEVE BEST CHANCES WILL BE SOUTH...IN THE DEEPER MOISTURE...AND WITH THE POSSIBLE INTERACTION WITH SEA BREEZE CONVECTION/FLOW. FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE SHORT TERM...EXPECTING MAINLY MORE OF THE SAME...DIURNALLY DRIVEN SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. LATE WEDNESDAY AND INTO THURSDAY...NAM AND GFS IN AGREEMENT PLACING US IN A BIT OF AN INUCED TROUGH BETWEEN A STRENGTHENING RIDGE OFF THE GEORGIA COAST...AND A RIDGE OVER MEXICO...AND ANOTHER DECENT IMPULSE EJECTING OUT OF THE WESTERN TROUGH. .LONG TERM (FRIDAY THROUGH MONDAY)... OVERALL PATTERN BEGINS TO CHANGE SOME DURING THE LONG TERM AS AN UPPER LEVEL RIDGE IS FORECAST TO STRENGTHEN OVER THE AREA THROUGH THE EXTENDED.

ON FRIDAY AND SATURDAY...EXPECT THE MORE TYPICAL SUMMERTIME CONDITIONS OF AFTERNOON AND EVENING SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WITH TEMPERATURES NEAR NORMAL IN THE MID 80S. WITH A SOMEWHAT DRIER FORECAST ANTICIPATED FOR SUNDAY AND MONDAY AS THE UPPER LEVEL RIDGE BUILDS...WENT SLIGHTLY ABOVE GUIDANCE FOR AFTERNOON HIGHS AS TEMPERATURES WILL BE IN THE UPPER 80S TO LOW 90S ACCOMPANIED BY ONLY A SLIGHT CHANCE OF POPS. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
