Area forecast discussion, Jun 30, 5:15 PM CST, 40 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BIRMINGHAM AL 615 PM CDT FRI JUN 30 2006 .UPDATE...UPDATED AVIATION DISCUSSION FOR 00Z TAFS. && .DISCUSSION...(ISSUED AT 330 PM) IT APPEARS WE HAVE REACHED OUR CONVECTIVE TEMPERATURE THIS AFTERNOON AS ISOLATED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS HAVE POPPED UP ACROSS AREAS NORTH OF INTERSTATE 20. BELIEVE THESE SHOWERS AND A FEW THUNDERSTORMS WILL NOT GET OUT OF HAND SO HAVE CARRIED ISOLATED CONVECTION NORTH OF INTERSTATE 20 IN THE FORECAST FOR THIS EVENING. STORMS SHOULD QUICKLY DISSIPATE AFTER SUNSET AND EXPECT ANOTHER MOSTLY CLEAR TO PARTLY CLOUDY (NORTH) NIGHT. HOT AND MOSTLY DRY WEATHER WILL CONTINUE OVER THE WEEKEND AS A BREAK IN THE MID TO UPPER 90S LOOKS UNLIKELY. OBVIOUSLY FROM THIS AFTERNOON...WE CANT RULE OUT ISOLATED STORMS BUT DECIDED NOT TO INCLUDE ANY WEATHER FOR SATURDAY AND SUNDAY AS LITTLE FOCUS OTHER THAN DIURNAL HEATING EXISTS. HIGH PRESSURE REMAINS WELL OFF TO THE EAST AS GULF MOISTURE RETURNS ONCE AGAIN. WITH AMPLE MOISTURE AROUND...BELIEVE WE WILL BEGIN TO SEE MORE COVERAGE IN AFTERNOON AND EVENING CONVECTION ON MONDAY AND TUESDAY. AFTERNOON HIGHS WILL STILL BE RATHER WARM WITH TEMPS IN THE 90S. RAIN COVERAGE FINALLY LOOKS TO INCREASE ACROSS THE AREA BY MID WEEK AS A SURFACE LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM AND FRONT ENTER THE OHIO AND TENNESSEE VALLEYS. MEANWHILE...A LARGE UPPER TROUGH WILL POSITION OVER THE GREAT LAKES REGION ALLOWING SHORTWAVES TO ROTATE THROUGH THE BASE OF THE TROUGH. BELIEVE ENOUGH FEATURES WILL COME TOGETHER FOR THE AREA TO RECEIVE A DECENT AMOUNT OF RAINFALL. IT IS STILL EARLY IN THE MODEL RUN BUT THE GFS AND ECMWF MODELS ARE COMING INTO PRETTY GOOD AGREEMENT ON THE SOLUTION THAT THIS FRONT WILL STALL ACROSS THE AREA. KNS/99 && .AVIATION...UPDATE. VCTS LOOKS LIKE A GOOD FORECAST THROUGH ABOUT 01Z THIS EVENING AT BHM...TCL AND ANB. AFTER SUNSET...CONDITIONS SHOULD GRADUALLY IMPROVE RESULTING IN CLEAR SKIES FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE NIGHT INTO TOMORROW MORNING. SOME PATCHY FOG IS POSSIBLE IN THE MORNING ESPECIALLY ACROSS AREAS WHERE IT RAINED...BUT COVERAGE SHOULD BE VERY LIMITED. WILL ONLY INCLUDE LIGHT FOG AT TCL. A FEW THUNDERSTORMS WILL LIKELY FORM ONCE AGAIN TOMORROW AFTERNOON...WITH SLIGHTLY LESS COVERAGE THAN TODAY. OTHERWISE EXPECT VFR CONDITIONS. 12/SIRMON && .BMX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... AL...NONE. &&
