AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE HUNTSVILLE AL 1210 PM CDT MON JUN 25 2007 .MESOSCALE UPDATE... ONE OF THE PREVIOUSLY-MENTIONED FAVORED AREAS FOR SHRA/TSRA DEVELOPMENT HAS PANNED OUT. SCATTERED TO NEARLY NUMEROUS SHRA/TSRA HAVE FORMED OVER THE SHOALS REGION...ESPECIALLY COLBERT COUNTY. A COUPLE OF THESE STORMS HAVE EXHIBITED STRONG ELEVATED REFLECTIVITY CORES...AND COULD CONTAIN WIND GUSTS TO 40 MPH. ALSO OF NOTE...THE PRECIP ACTIVITY IS MOVING VERY LITTLE IN THIS REGION SO UP TO AN INCH PER HOUR RAINFALL IS POSSIBLE...MORE LIKELY AROUND HALF AN INCH. THIS WILL NOT LEAD TO MUCH IN THE WAY OF FLOODING CONCERNS...UNLESS IT CONTINUES ALL AFTERNOON. YES...IT IS VERY POSSIBLE TO SEE FLOODING IN AN EXTREME DROUGHT SITUATION. FIRST AREA TO WATCH WILL BE JUST EAST OF THE AL 20/AL 157 INTERSECTION IN COLBERT COUNTY...WHERE RADAR SHOWS MORE THAN AN INCH HAS ALREADY FALLEN...AND THE RAIN IS STILL PRETTY POTENT OVER THAT AREA. ZONES WERE UPDATED TO RAISE POPS IN THE WEST TO 50 PERCENT. EVEN WITH SUNNY SKIES...TEMPS HAVE NOT RISEN SINCE THE PREVIOUS DISCUSSION WAS WRITTEN...SO MAY HAVE TO LOWER MAXES IN A THIRD UPDATE SOON. && .PREV DISCUSSION... TEMPERATURES ARE AT LEAST A LITTLE LOWER THIS MORNING...RANGING FROM A RAIN-COOLED 72 AT FORT PAYNE AND CROSSVILLE TO A MILD 85 HERE AT THE HUN. SKIES ARE GENERALLY SUNNY WEST OF I-65 AND MOSTLY CLOUDY EAST OF I-65. LOOKS LIKE LITTLE HOPE OF CLEARING IN THE EAST...WITH AT LEAST A COUPLE SUNNY HOURS REMAINING IN THE WEST. WILL UPDATE THE EASTERN COUNTIES TO MOSTLY CLOUDY AND LOWER MAXES JUST A BIT. THERE IS NOT AS MUCH DRY AIR TO MIX DOWN THIS AFTERNOON...ALTHOUGH IT LOOKS LIKE WE STILL MAY SEE A BIT OF A DEWPOINT DROP...JUST NOT AS MUCH AS THE PAST SEVERAL DAYS. OTHERWISE...WILL HAVE TO WATCH FOR A POTENTIAL DIFFERENTIAL HEATING BOUNDARY BETWEEN THE CLOUDY AREA AND THE SUNNY AREA...THIS COULD BE A FAVORED SPOT FOR PRECIP DEVELOPMENT. THE NORTHWESTERN REGION REMAINS FAVORED AS WELL. MIGHT END UP HAVING TO RAISE POPS BUT WILL WAIT BEFORE CONSIDERING THAT. FAST FACT... AT HUNTSVILLE...WE CROSSED 19 INCHES BELOW NORMAL FOR THE YEAR YESTERDAY. IF WE DIDNT RECEIVE ANY MORE RAIN...WE WOULD CROSS 20 INCHES DEFICIT ON JULY 1ST. HOPEFULLY THAT WONT HAPPEN. && .HUN WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... AL...NONE. TN...NONE. && JE/23
