AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE HUNTSVILLE AL 226 PM CDT THU JUN 28 2007 .DISCUSSION... LATEST U/A AND H20 VAPOR ANALYSIS SHOWING SUBTROPICAL RIDGING OVER THE SOUTHEAST...WITH AN UPR LOW OVER TX/OK AND A SHEAR AXIS STRETCHING NORTH OF THE LOW ACROSS THE SOUTHERN PLAINS/MID MS VALLEY. AT THE SFC...COLD FRONT CURRENTLY EXTENDS FROM THE SOUTHERN PLAINS NEWRD ACROSS MO/IL/IN. AIR MASS REMAINS VIRTUALLY UNCHANGED LOCALLY FROM THE PAST SEVERAL DAYS...AS TEMPERATURES AGAIN CLIMB TOWARD THE LOWER 90S IN MANY LOCATIONS...AND DEWPTS HOLD THE UPR 60S/LWR 70S. DIURNAL CONVECTION THROUGH THIS EVENING ONCE AGAIN PRIMARILY RELIANT OF DAYTIME HEATING...WITH LITTLE OTHER FORCING AVAILABLE AND BROAD UPPER RIDGING STILL OVERHEAD. UNLESS LAST MINUTE RADAR TRENDS DICTATE OTHERWISE...CURRENTLY PLANNING AN ISLTD POP THROUGH THE EARLY EVENING HOURS. CHANGES TO THE OVERALL UPPER PATTERN WILL DEVELOP THROUGH THE UPCOMING WEEKEND. THE PREDOMINANT UPPER RIDGE WILL SINK SOUTH INTO THE GULF...AS A LONGWAVE TROUGH DEEPENS ACROSS THE EAST COAST BY THE WEEKEND. THIS WILL ALLOW THE AFOREMENTIONED COLD FRONT TO DROP SOUTH TOWARD THE AREA. MODELS TRENDING TOWARD A LESS PRONOUNCED FRONTAL PASSAGE...NOT OVERLY SURPRISING FOR LATE JUNE...WITH THE FROPA MORE LIKELY TO BE JUST A WIND SHIFT...PERHAPS ACCOMPANIED BY SOME SUBTLE DRYING. THIS BOUNDARY WILL SLOWLY SINK THROUGH LATE FRIDAY INTO FRIDAY NIGHT...PROVIDING SOME ADDED FORCING TO INTERACT WITH THE MOIST/UNSTABLE CONDITIONS. HOWEVER...OVERALL PCPN COVERAGE REMAINS IN QUESTION...WITH UPPER RIDGING STILL A FACTOR AND THE FORCING/CONVERGENCE STILL QUITE LIMITED. THUS...WILL HOLD POPS IN THE 30/40% RANGE DURING THIS TIME. BY THE WEEKEND...FOCUS TURNS TOWARD SHORTWAVE ENERGY THAT LIFTS OUT THE SOUTHERN PLAINS LOW AND INTO THE MEAN NWERLY U/L FLOW JUST TO THE EAST. MODEL DIFFERENCES OCCUR IN HANDLING THIS ENERGY...WITH THE LATEST NAM CLOSING THIS SYSTEM OFF NEAR OR JUST NORTHWEST OF THE AREA...WHILE THE GFS PUSHES THIS S/WV THROUGH PRIOR TO PEAK HEATING ON SUNDAY. IN EITHER CASE...THE ADDED LIFT PROVIDED BY THIS IMPULSE ALONG WITH PERHAPS SOME RESIDUAL MOISTURE CONVERGENCE... WILL ALLOW FOR SCTD DIURNAL CONVECTION AT LEAST THROUGH SATURDAY. AS FOR SUNDAY...WILL JUST INTRODUCE AN ISLTD POP TO ACCOUNT FOR THE LIKELIHOOD THAT SOME PORTION OF THIS S/WV WILL STILL BE IN THE VICINITY THROUGH AT LEAST MIDDAY. EXPANSIVE AREA OF SFC HIGH PRESSURE WILL SETTLE OVER THE EASTERN SEABOARD...WHILE U/L NWERLY FLOW SHIFTS EAST AND WEAK SUBTROPICAL RIDGING REESTABLISHES ITSELF. THIS PATTERN WILL LIKELY BRING AN END TO THE ISLTD/SCTD DIURNAL CONVECTIVE ACTIVITY THROUGH INDEPENDENCE DAY...AND ALSO A RETURN TO ABOVE NORMAL DAYTIME HIGHS (LOW/MID 90S) AS DRIER MID-LVL AIR MIXES DOWN DURING THE AFTN HOURS. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
