AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE HUNTSVILLE AL 1240 PM CDT SUN JUN 24 2012 .UPDATE... FOR 18Z TAFS && .DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 1026 AM CDT SUN JUN 24 2012/ SO FAR...SUNDAY IS ALREADY SHAPING UP MUCH LIKE SATURDAY...WITH MOSTLY SUNNY AND VERY WARM CONDITIONS REPORTED AREAWIDE. THE HOT SPOT THUS FAR IS MUSCLE SHOALS AT 89...WHICH REACHED 100F FOR A HIGH YESTERDAY. THE REGION REMAINS POISED ON A DEWPOINT GRADIENT WITH RELATIVELY LOWER DEWPTS TO THE NW...AND MUCH HIGHER TO THE SE... RESULTING FROM A FRONTAL PASSAGE FRIDAY. DEBRIS CIRRUS FROM TROPCIAL STORM DEBBY HAS PUSHED TO ROUGHLY THE I-59 CORRIDOR...BUT THE DENSEST OVERCAST REMAINS SOUTH OF I-20. TODAY MAY STILL SHAPE UP TO BE JUST A BIT COOLER DUE TO THE INCREASED MOISTURE...BUT MOST FOLKS MAY NOT NOTICE THE DIFFERENCE. STILL COULD SEE A FEW SPOTS GET TO THE CENTURY MARK...ESPECIALLY IN THE NW...AND WHILE MOISTURE WILL BE MORE PREVALENT THAN YESTERDAY...DO NOT THINK IT WILL BE ENOUGH TO CREATE A MUCH HIGHER HEAT INDEX. /STILL...TAKE YOUR HEAT PRECAUTIONS AND TAKE THEM SERIOUSLY./ VERY LOW POPS FOR SERN AREAS ALSO APPEAR REASONABLE GIVEN THE FEW SHOWERS THAT OCCURRED TO OUR SE YESTERDAY BEHIND THE MOISTURE FRONT. POSSIBLE SUBSIDENCE AROUND THE OUTER EDGES OF TS DEBBY REMAINS A BIT OF A WILD CARD IN THIS...BUT WILL ASSUME FOR NOW THAT THE CYCLONE IS NOT DEVELOPED WELL ENOUGH TO PLAY A ROLE THIS FAR NORTH. THE FORECAST IS IN GOOD SHAPE. ONLY ADJUSTMENTS ARE TO TWEAK DOWN TEMPERATURES SLIGHTLY TO THE SOUTH WHERE CIRRUS MAY FILTER SUNSHINE A BIT MORE...AND TWEAK OTHER GRIDS /ESPECIALLY SKY/ TO MATCH THESE TRENDS ACCORDINGLY. BCC && .AVIATION... FOR 18Z TAFS...VFR CONDITIONS SHOULD CONTINUE THROUGH 18Z/25. WEAK NE FLOW INFLUENCED BY TS DEBBY WILL CONTINUE TODAY...DECOUPLE TONIGHT...AND INCREASE FURTHER TMRW. 15-20KT NE GUSTS ARE PSBL MAINLY TMRW AFTN. SKIES WILL REMAIN DOMINATED BY A MODEST CU FIELD AT 5000-6000FT...AND OCNL CIRRUS BLOWOFF FROM TS DEBBY AT 25000 AND ABOVE. BCC && .HUN WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... AL...NONE. TN...NONE. && FOR MORE INFORMATION PLEASE VISIT OUR WEBSITE AT WEATHER.GOV/HUNTSVILLE.
