Area forecast discussion, Jun 20, 2:01 PM CST, 2 hours 34 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BIRMINGHAM AL 301 PM CDT TUE JUN 20 2006 .SHORT TERM... A LARGE FAIR WEATHER CUMULUS FIELD ENVELOPES MUCH OF THE SOUTHEASTERN UNITED STATES INCLUDING CENTRAL ALABAMA. RAIN IS SCARCE AT BEST. AN ISOLATED HIGH BASED SHOWER TRIED TO DEVELOP OVER RUSSELL AND LEE COUNTIES BUT ITS DEVELOPMENT WAS LIMITED BY A STRONG CAP. CLOUDS WERE NOT ABUNDANT ENOUGH TO LIMIT DAYTIME WARMING. TEMPERATURES ARE CURRENTLY IN THE MIDDLE 90S AREA WIDE. SOME OF THE WARMER LOCATIONS MAY APPROACH 100 FOR THEIR DAILY HIGHS. OVERNIGHT...TEMPERATURES WILL FALL OFF QUICKLY WITH LOWS IN THE LOWER 70S FOR MOST LOCATIONS. FOG SHOULD NOT BE A PROBLEM WITH DEWPOINTS IN THE MIDDLE 60S. SUMMER ARRIVES TOMORROW AT 726 AM. I GUESS ITS TIME TO GET HOT. IT MAY BE A LITTLE EASIER TO ACCEPT THIS OPPRESSIVE HEAT NOW THAT WE CAN OFFICIALLY SAY ITS SUMMER. OR MAYBE NOT. HIGHS TOMORROW SHOULD BE NEAR TODAYS VALUES...OR PERHAPS A DEGREE WARMER. FOURTEEN HOURS AND TWENTY-ONE MINUTES OF SUNSHINE TOMORROW WILL MAKE WEDNESDAY THE LONGEST DAY OF THE YEAR...ALSO KNOWN AS THE SUMMER SOLSTICE. STILL NO RAINFALL EXPECTED. .LONG TERM... VERY LITTLE RELIEF FROM THE HEAT FOR THE BALANCE OF THE WORK WEEK...ALTHOUGH RETURNING MOISTURE WILL SHAVE A FEW DEGREES OFF OF THE HIGHS THURSDAY INTO FRIDAY. GUIDANCE SUGGESTS A WEAK BOUNDARY SAGGING SOUTHWARD INTO CENTRAL ALABAMA BY SATURDAY. I HAVE MY DOUBTS AS TO HOW FAR SOUTH IT WILL ACTUALLY MAKE IT GIVEN LITTLE PUSH BEHIND THE SYSTEM. HOWEVER...WILL NOT STRAY FROM GUIDANCE AT THIS POINT. IN FACT...NO CHANGES WERE MADE TOT HE FORECAST PAST DAY 3. && .AVIATION...DISCUSSION FOR 18Z TAFS. CUMULUS FIELD HAS DEVELOPED ACROSS CENTRAL ALABAMA AND THESE CLOUDS WILL LIFT DURING THE DAY TO AROUND 6K OR 7K. THE CUMULUS WILL DISSIPATE BY AROUND 00Z. MID AND HIGH LEVEL CLOUDS WILL TRAVERSE SOUTHERN ALABAMA...BUT VFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED THROUGH 05Z. AFTER 05Z...ALL LOCATIONS MAY BRIEFLY DROP TO MVFR CONDITIONS WITH 4SM TO 5SM IN HAZE/FOG. CONFIDENCE IN WHEN AND WHERE THE HAZE/FOG DEVELOPS AND AFFECTS TERMINALS WILL BE LOW. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
