AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE HUNTSVILLE AL 200 PM CDT WED JUL 19 2006 .DISCUSSION... SUMMER HEAT STILL ONGOING WITH TEMPERATURES THIS AFTERNOON ROUGHLY ON PAR WITH YESTERDAY. LOOKS LIKE WE HAVE ONE MORE DAY OF THIS OPPRESSIVE HEAT BEFORE WE FINALLY CATCH A BREAK. SHORT TERM (THIS AFTERNOON THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT)... BASICALLY TAKING A SLIGHTLY MODIFIED PERSISTENCE FOR THE NEXT 36 HOURS...WITH HIGHS IN THE UPPER 90S TO AROUND 100...AND LOWS IN THE LOW/MID 70S. THIS IS 1-2 DEGREES ABOVE MET/FWC GUIDANCE FOR THE MAXES...WHICH HAS BEEN A VISIBLE TREND FOR ABOUT A WEEK NOW. THIS IS WELL ABOVE THE MAV GUIDANCE...WHICH HAS BEEN OFF THE MARK BADLY IN THIS HEAT WAVE. GFS IS TOO FAST IN BREAKING DOWN THE RIDGE ON FRIDAY...WILL FOLLOW THE SLOWER MODEL CONSENSUS. THIS LEADS TO CHANCE POPS AND HIGHS A LITTLE LESS WARM. STILL THE SHOALS COULD REACH 100 WITH STILL SOME LINGERING UPPER RIDGE INFLUENCE. RAIN CHANCE HOLDS ON FRIDAY NIGHT AS THE SFC FRONT APPROACHES ALONG WITH THE UPPER TROF AXIS. AGAIN...BELIEVE GFS IS TOO FAST AND LEANED TOWARD THE NAM. EXTENDED (SATURDAY THROUGH NEXT WEDNESDAY)... SATURDAY COULD BE THE BEST DAY WEVE HAD IN A WHILE...UNLESS YOU WANT TO PARTICIPATE IN OUTDOOR ACTIVITIES. RAIN LOOKS REASONABLY LIKELY...AND HIGHS SHOULD STAY IN THE 80S ALTHOUGH THE GFS IS WAY WAY TOO FAST AND WAY WAY TOO FAR SOUTH WITH THE SFC FRONT...IT DOES APPEAR THE FRONT WILL SINK JUST SOUTH OF US BY EARLY SUNDAY BEFORE WASHING OUT. WE MAY NEED TO LOWER POPS FOR SUNDAY IF TRENDS CONTINUE. THEN...MONDAY SHOULD BE MAINLY DRY...BEFORE SOUTHERLY FLOW RE-ESTABLISHES IN EARNEST TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY. CHANCE POPS WERE INCLUDED FOR BOTH DAYS. THE ADDED MOISTURE AND CLOUDS SHOULD KEEP HIGHS AROUND 90...AROUND NORMAL FOR LATE JULY. FAST FACTS... WE WILL NOT REACH 100 TODAY AT KHSV...TEMPS ARE DROPPING NOW. WE HAVE REACHED 100 FOR THE SECOND DAY AT KMSL...AND A THIRD DAY IS LIKELY TOMORROW. TOMORROW IN THIS SPACE WE WILL TALK ABOUT THE DROUGHT SITUATION AND HOW MUCH...IF AT ALL...THE FORECAST RAIN WILL HELP IT. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
