NWS Birmingham, AL wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Jun 24, 2:00 PM CST, 11 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BIRMINGHAM AL 300 PM CDT SUN JUN 24 2007 .DISCUSSION... PATTERN WILL BASICALLY REMAIN THE SAME THROUGH THE ENTIRE FORECAST PERIOD. DAYTIME TEMPERATURES WILL RELAX SOME...BUT WITH THE INCREASE IN MOISTURE...IT WILL STILL FEEL HOT. OVERNIGHT TEMPERATURES WILL BE A TAD WARMER ALSO. DRY AIR IS FINALLY GONE AND WE ARE BACK TO OUR MUGGY SUMMER. THERE WERE BASICALLY NO DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE MODELS ON THE MORNING RUN. BOTH NAM AND GFS ARE IN PRETTY GOOD AGREEMENT. THE GFS IS ACTUALLY MORE IN-LINE WITH THE NAM WHICH IS GOOD TO SEE. THE NAM HAS BEEN DOING VERY GOOD WITH THE AFTERNOON CONVECTION. THE OVERALL FORECAST PACKAGE WILL NOT CHANGE MUCH ON THIS RUN. DID TWEAK RAIN CHANCES HERE AND THERE...BASICALLY REFLECTING THE CHANGES IN THE NEW MODEL RUNS. NO SIGNIFICANT RAIN IS EXPECTED OVER THE NEXT SEVEN DAYS. THE HIGHEST POP DURING THE PERIOD IS ABOUT 40. LONG RANGE MODELS DO NOT SEE ANY CHANGE IN THIS PATTERN UNTIL MAYBE NEXT WEEKEND. BUT BEING THAT FAR OUT...I REMAIN SKEPTICAL. 10/ARM && .AVIATION...18Z TAF DISCUSSION. SCATTERED SHOWERS ARE NOW DEVELOPING ACROSS MUCH OF CENTRAL ALABAMA...AND WILL LIKELY EVOLVE INTO THUNDERSTORMS SHORTLY. THESE STORMS WILL BE SLOW MOVING AND OF THE HIT OF MISS VARIETY...ALTHOUGH SLIGHTLY BETTER COVERAGE IS EXPECTED WEST OF INTERSTATE 65. CB WILL LIKELY BE OBSERVED AT ALL TAF SITES FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE AFTERNOON. CONVECTION SHOULD DIMINISH OVERNIGHT. A MID LEVEL DISTURBANCE WILL APPROACH CENTRAL ALABAMA TOMORROW...LIKELY HELPING TO INITIATE RAIN AND THUNDERSTORMS BEFORE NOON. WILL CARRY AT LEAST VCSH AT ALL SITES EXCEPT ANB BEFORE NOON. THE CURRENT DECREASE IN VISIBILITY AT ANB IS LIKELY THE RESULT OF DIRT STORED NEAR THE REPORTING STATION AND NOT REPRESENTATIVE OF WHAT IS ACTUALLY OCCURRING. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...

ISOLATED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE BEGINNING TO DEVELOP ACROSS CENTRAL ALABAMA AS MOISTURE BUILDS INTO THE STATE FROM THE SOUTHWEST. INSTABILITIES ARE MARGINAL...WHICH COULD LEAD TO MINIMAL LIGHTNING AND SHORT LIVED STORMS...BUT LIGHTNING IS STILL A POTENTIAL HAZARD WITH THIS AFTERNOONS ACTIVITY. AT THIS POINT...MICROBURST POTENTIAL IS LOW...BUT THIS DOES NOT NEGATE THE CHANCE OF ONE HAPPENING. MAIN THREAT AREA LOOKS TO BE WEST OF INTERSTATE 65 EARLY IN THE AFTERNOON AND SHOULD STRETCH TO THE EAST TO INCLUDE AREAS EAST OF THE INTERSTATE BY LATER THIS AFTERNOON. ANY ACTIVITY THAT DOES OCCUR SHOULD FALL APART QUICKLY AFTER SUNSET. WET MICROBURST POTENTIAL: BIRMINGHAM...LOW. MONTGOMERY...LOW. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY. WITH THE RETURN OF HIGHER DEWPOINTS TO THE SOUTHEAST...EXPECT AFTERNOON SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TO DEVELOP WITH DAYTIME HEATING ON MONDAY AND TUESDAY. THE EXPECTATION IS FOR THESE STORMS TO BE OF THE SCATTERED VARIETY ON MONDAY AND MUCH MORE ISOLATED ON TUESDAY. MAIN THREAT BOTH DAYS WILL BE THE POSSIBILITY OF DAMAGING WINDS AND LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL. .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...
