AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE HUNTSVILLE AL 202 PM CDT SUN JUL 2 2006 .DISCUSSION... CU FIELD IS BEGINNING TO FORM WITH A FEW ISOLATED SHRA/TSRA OVER OUR AREA. BASED ON STLT...BEST CHANCE OF ISOLATED SHRA/TSRA WOULD BE EAST OF THE HUN AREA...BUT CANT RULE OUT A FEW OVER NW AL AS WELL. WILL GO AHEAD AND MENTION ISOLATED SHRA/TSRA FOR THIS EVENING. TEMPS ARE IN THE MID 90S WITH DEWPOINTS ARND 60. ONE GOOD THING IS WITH DEWPOINTS ARND 60...THIS IS KEEPING HEAT INDICES OUT OF ANY HEAT ADVISORIES. OTHERWISE...HIGH PRESSURE CONTINUES TO DOMINATE MOST OF THE SERN US. THIS AREA OF HIGH PRESSURE WILL SLOWLY MOVE EAST OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS. ATTM MONDAY NIGHT/TUESDAY LOOKS TO BE THE BEST TIME FOR A DECENT RETURN FLOW ACROSS THE AREA. THINKING THAT MONDAY WILL BE ABOUT THE SAME AS TODAY...HOT WITH AN ISOLATED CHANCE OF SHRA/TSRA DURING THE AFTN AND EVENING. DONT SEE ANY REAL DEFINITE TRIGGERS TO KICK OFF ANY WIDESPREAD PCPN ON MONDAY. BY TUESDAY...RETURN FLOW/INCREASE LOW LEVEL MOISTURE SHOULD BE ENOUGH GET A LITTLE MORE COVERAGE WITH SHRA/TSRA.
