Area forecast discussion, Apr 21, 4:29 AM CST, 8 hours 6 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BIRMINGHAM AL 529 AM CDT FRI APR 21 2006 .DISCUSSION... AFTER A FEW DAYS OF RATHER SIGNIFICANT HAIL PRODUCING THUNDERSTORMS ...WE ARE POISED FOR ANOTHER ROUND OF SEVERE WEATHER TODAY AND TONIGHT. THEN THINGS BEGIN TO QUIET DOWN FOR A FEW DAYS. FAIRLY CONFIDENT A FEW STORMS IN THE PAST SEVERAL HOURS PRODUCED HAIL UP TO THE SIZE OF GOLF BALLS...ACROSS WALKER, WINSTON, TUSCALOOSA, AND FAYETTE COUNTIES...ALTHOUGH NO REPORTS OF THAT SIZE HAVE COME IN JUST YET. STILL A FEW THUNDERSTORMS LURKING AROUND BUT THEY HAVE LOST INTENSITY FOR THE TIME BEING. COMPLEX WEATHER SCENARIO SETTING UP FOR THE NEXT 30 HOURS ACROSS CENTRAL ALABAMA. NOW TO THE DETAILS... 1) STORMS ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA THIS MORNING HAVE DEVELOPED WITH THE AIDE OF RESIDUAL BOUNDARIES AND INCREASED LOW LEVEL BOUNDARY LAYER FLOW. EXPECT THESE STORMS TO CONTINUE TO WEAKEN EARLY THIS MORNING...ALTHOUGH SMALL HAIL COULD STILL FALL IN A FEW SPOTS THROUGH 8 AM. 2) MCS ACROSS NORTH CENTRAL MISSISSIPPI FIRING UP WITH THE HELP OF A SHORT WAVE TROUGH...SURFACE LOW ALONG COLD FRONT...AND MOISTURE CONVERGENCE NEAR THE COLD FRONT AND PRE-FRONTAL TROUGH. ALSO EXPECT THESE STORMS TO SHOW A WEAKENING TREND AS THEY APPROACH MARION AND LAMAR COUNTIES BETWEEN 7 AND 9 AM. MID TO HIGH LEVEL BLOW OFF FROM THESE STORMS SHOULD SLOW THE HEATING AND DESTABILIZATION IN NORTHERN ALABAMA. 3) POTENT MID LEVEL SHORT WAVE TROUGH AND COLD FRONT STILL SCHEDULED FOR ARRIVAL TONIGHT. A FEW SURFACE WAVES ALONG THE FRONT ARE ALSO EXPECTED WHICH MAY ENHANCE STORMS IN THEIR VICINITY. THIS IS THE TRICKY PART. CLOUDS AND SUBSIDENCE BEHIND UPPER DISTURBANCE THIS MORNING WILL LIMIT DESTABILIZATION ACROSS NORTHERN ALABAMA INITIALLY. WILL GO WITH THE IDEA THAT CONVECTION WILL FIRE LATE THIS AFTERNOON ACROSS WESTERN ALABAMA AND SPREAD EASTWARD TO ALL AREAS EXCEPT FAR SOUTHEAST THROUGH MIDNIGHT. THE MAIN SEVERE THREAT WILL BE LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING WINDS. AN ISOLATED TORNADO CAN NOT BE RULED OUT ESPECIALLY LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND EARLY THIS EVENING WEST OF INTERSTATE 65. STORMS THEN EXIT THE STATE EARLY SATURDAY MORNING. I WANT TO STRESS THAT THIS IS NOT A CLEAR CUT SCENARIO BY ANY MEANS. THE POTENTIAL LIFTING MECHANISM TIMING AND DEGREE OF DESTABILIZATION WILL PLAY A MAJOR ROLE IN THE DEVELOPING SITUATION. PLEASE STAY TUNED TO ADDITIONAL WEATHER INFORMATION THROUGHOUT THE DAY. BLOCKY UPPER LEVEL PATTERN EVOLVING VERY SLOWLY FOR THE PAST SEVERAL DAYS. LARGE UPPER CLOSED LOW SPINNING OVER THE WESTERN GREAT LAKES AND SOUTHERN STREAM MIGRATING SEVERAL SHORT WAVE TROUGHS OVER THE REGION. TWO STREAMS EXHIBIT SOME FORM OF INTERACTION OR PHASING THAT WILL SEND AN UPPER TROUGH THROUGH CENTRAL ALABAMA BY SATURDAY MORNING. THE GOOD THING WITH THIS TROUGH PASSAGE...WE ENTER NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT AND VIRTUALLY END THUNDERSTORM CHANCES AT LEAST FROM THE SECOND HALF OF SATURDAY THROUGH MONDAY. THE NEXT FRONT ARRIVES IN THE AREA ON TUESDAY WITH THUNDERSTORMS RE-ENTERING THE FORECAST. MODEL GUIDANCE WAS CLOSE ON THE SYNOPTIC EVOLUTION BUT HAD MIXED RESULTS IN THE MASS FIELDS. TAKE A MIX OF NAM/GFS IN THE SHORT TERM AND GENERALLY ACCEPTED THE GFS IN THE EXTENDED. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
