AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BIRMINGHAM AL 331 PM CDT MON JUN 14 2010 .DISCUSSION... SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE TO DEVELOP TROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING. MOST STORMS WILL BE SHORT LIVED BUT COULD PRODUCE HEAVY RAINFALL. ACTIVITY WILL DIMINISH WITH LOSS OF DAYTIME HEATING. TEMPERATURES AROUND SUNSET WILL STILL BE IN THE MID TO UPPER 80S...AND OVERNIGHT LOWS WILL BE SIMILAR TO LAST NIGHT...WITH TEMPS IN THE LOW TO MID 70S. UPPER LEVEL RIDGING REMAINS THE DOMINATE WEATHER FEATURE ACROSS THE AREA TODAY...WITH THE MAIN STORM TRACK TO OUR NORTH AND WEST. ALTHOUGH RIDGING WILL REMAIN DOMINATE THROUGH THE FORECAST PERIOD...FLUCTUATIONS IN ITS PLACEMENT AND STRENGTH WILL PLAY A BIG ROLE IN DAYTIME STORM COVERAGE. ALSO...WEAKNESSES IN THE RIDGE WILL HELP ENHANCE CONVECTION AND INCREASE CLOUD COVER. AS A SHORTWAVE PUSHES TOWARD THE GREAT LAKES TUESDAY...THE RIDGE WILL SHIFT SLIGHTLY EAST ALLOWING SUCH WEAKNESSES TO AID IN CONVECTION LOCALLY. AN INCREASE IN MEAN MOISTURE CONTENT IS ALSO EXPECTED...WITH PWS AROUND 2.00 INCHES. THIS TREND WILL CONTINUE FOR SEVERAL DAYS...AND WILL GO WITH SCATTERED POPS...SLIGHTLY HIGHER THAN CLIMO. AN INCREASE IN RAIN COVERAGE AND CLOUD COVER WILL KEEP TEMPERATURES A FEW DEGREES LOWER...BUT READINGS STILL WILL REACH INTO THE LOW 90S. OVERNIGHT LOWS WILL CONTINUE TO BE IN THE LOW TO MID 70S. MODELS CONTINUE TO HINT AT A WEAKENING FRONTAL BOUNDARY MOVING SOUTHWARD THROUGH THE TENNESSEE VALLEY AND INTO NORTH CENTRAL ALABAMA LATE THURSDAY. THIS COULD LEAD TO SOME DRYING AND LOWER MEAN LAYER MOISTURE CONTENT FOR THE END OF THE WEEK. WITH THE UPPER LEVEL RIDGE REESTABLISHING ITSELF TO OUR WEST...IMPULSES ROTATING THROUGH THE NORTHWESTERLY FLOW COULD MOVE INTO THE AREA RESULTING IN INCREASED RAIN CHANCES. NOT READY TO BUY INTO THE LOWER MOISTURE CONTENT AND LIMITING POPS TO JUST PORTIONS OF THE SOUTH...WHICH MODELS HAVE INDICATED. WILL GO WITH SLIGHT CHANCE POPS...CLOSER TO CLIMO VALUES. WITH LIMITED RAINFALL...TEMPERATURES WILL BE BACK UP INTO THE MID 90S...WITH OVERNIGHT LOWS REMAINING ABOVE NORMAL. 14 && .AVIATION...18Z TAF DISCUSSION. SOME CONVECTION HAS ALREADY BEGUN TO DEVELOP AS WE HAVE HAD NO PROBLEM SURPASSING OUR CONVECTIVE TEMP FOR TODAY. MAIN CONVECTION NE PART OF CWA...WHICH COULD AFFECT BHM/ANB.
