AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BIRMINGHAM AL 301 PM CDT FRI JUN 23 2006 .SHORT TERM... A LARGE OUTFLOW BOUNDARY FROM PRE EXISTING THUNDERSTORMS IN NORTHERN MISSISSIPPI HAS ENHANCED THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS CENTRAL ALABAMA TODAY. ADDITIONALLY...NUMEROUS SMALLER OUTFLOW BOUNDARIES SCATTERED ACROSS THE STATE FROM CONVECTION YESTERDAY AND LAST NIGHT HAVE NO DOUBT PLAYED A ROLE. THESE THUNDERSTORMS HAVE TRANSITIONED FROM MORE STEADY STATE STORMS...TO PULSING STORMS AS AFTERNOON HEATING HAS BECOME MORE OF A FACTOR. STORMS SHOULD CONTINUE THROUGH THE AFTERNOON HOURS...AND GRADUALLY DEGREASE IN BOTH INTENSITY AND COVERAGE AFTER SUNSET. TEMPERATURES ARE CURRENTLY IN THE LOWER TO MIDDLE 90S WHERE RAIN AND OR OUTFLOW HAS COOLED THE AIR AT SOMETIME DURING THE DAY. OTHERWISE...READINGS ARE IN THE MIDDLE 90S. OVERNIGHT...PATCHY FOG MAY BECOME A PROBLEM AFTER MIDNIGHT AS THE RESULT IN INCREASE GROUND MOISTURE AND LOW TEMPERATURES IN THE UPPER 60S TO LOW 70S. A FEW LINGERING SHOWERS OR THUNDERSTORMS CANNOT BE RULED OUT AFTER MIDNIGHT. MORE OF THE SAME IS EXPECTED TOMORROW. TYPICAL SUMMERTIME AFTERNOON SHOWERS ARE EXPECTED...ALTHOUGH HIGH TEMPERATURES SHOULD ONLY CLIMB TO NEAR 90 DEGREES AT MOST LOCATIONS. A WEAK SURFACE FRONT WILL STALL SOMEWHERE ACROSS NORTH CENTRAL ALABAMA...LIKELY FROM AROUND TUSCALOOSA TO ANNISTON. THIS FEATURE WILL RESULT IN SLIGHTLY HIGHER PRECIPITATION CHANCES ACROSS THE AREA. ON SUNDAY RAIN CHANCES WILL BE HIGHLY DEPENDENT ON WHERE THE FRONT ACTUALLY STALLS. AT THIS TIME IT LOOKS LIKE MOST AREAS NORTHWEST OF A LINE FROM EUTAW TO TUSCALOOSA TO JASPER SHOULD BE ON THE DRY SIDE OF THE FRONT...WITH INCREASING RAIN CHANCES AS YOU MOVE EAST. TEMPERATURES SHOULD STAY OUT OF THE 90S FOR MUCH OF THE AREA...WITH THE EXCEPTION OF AREAS AROUND MONTGOMERY AND TROY. .LONG TERM... RELIEF FROM THE HEAT IS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE THROUGH MUCH OF THE UPCOMING WORK WEEK. HIGHS WILL BE NEAR NORMAL...88-92 WITH LOWS GENERALLY IN THE MIDDLE 60S. MODEST AREA LAWNS MAY EVEN TURN GREEN AGAIN. RAINFALL OVER THE WEEKEND AND SUNSHINE DURING THE WORK WEEK SHOULD BE ENOUGH TO MAKE EVEN THE DRIEST LAWN SMILE. ISOLATED AFTERNOON STORMS MAY ADD ADDITIONAL MOISTURE TO THE MIX...BUT NO ORGANIZED SYSTEMS ARE EXPECTED. && .AVIATION...DISCUSSION FOR 18Z TAFS. MVFR CONDITIONS EXPECTED 18Z THROUGH 01Z FOR SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS THAT ARE EXPECTED ACROSS THE AREA. A FEW LOCATIONS COULD SEE IFR CONDITIONS IF THUNDERSTORMS PERSIST FOR ANY LENGTH OF TIME WITH VISIBILITIES LESS THAN 3 MILES. FROM 01Z TO 08Z VFR CONDITIONS EXPECTED. AFTER 08Z AND UNTIL 14Z A FEW LOCATIONS...TCL...ANB COULD SEE MVFR CONDITIONS DUE TO VISIBILITIES OF 3 TO 5 MILES IN FOG. AFTER 14Z VFR CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL AT ALL LOCATIONS. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
