NWS Huntsville, AL wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Jun 14, 11:24 AM CST, 36 minutes earlier.
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Huntsville AL 1224 PM CDT TUE JUN 14 2016 .UPDATE... For 18Z TAFs. && .DISCUSSION... (Issued 1029 AM CDT TUE JUN 14 2016) A weak boundary extends west from the South Carolina/North Carolina border into northeastern Alabama and north central Mississippi. A couple of upper level disturbances can be seen in water vapor/radar moving very slowly east across this boundary. Current mesoscale models pick up on these features pretty well. One of these pieces of energy is located near/east of Birmingham. Showers/storms have weakened with this feature over the last hour or so. Models strengthen this upper level energy and push it slightly northeast through the late morning/early afternoon hours. Based on low and mid level flow, this looks reasonable. Expect widely scattered showers/storms to develop and increase in coverage rapidly over the next few hours primarily near/east of I-65 as a result. PWATS are extremely high (over 2.00 inches in 12Z BMX sounding). This is more saturated than yesterday, when there was more dry air aloft. Thus, heavy rainfall and frequent lightning are possible with stronger storms today. Small hail and gusty winds over 40 mph will be harder for storms to generate given extremely saturated sounding profile. Lowered temperatures due to expected cloud cover, with highs near I-65 only climbing into the 85 to 90 degree range. On either edge of the forecast area though, highs in the lower 90s look probable. The second upper level disturbance is currently producing a large area of showers/storms over western Mississippi and northern Louisiana. Mesoscale models push this activity more to the southeast with time today, which again is reasonable based on current/expected upstream flow in the lower/mid levels of the atmosphere. However, it could produce some extra low level convergence late this afternoon in northwestern Alabama and Cullman county. Thus kept high chance to likely in northwest Alabama and Cullman county late this afternoon. KTW && .AVIATION... For 18Z TAFs: Scattered showers and thunderstorms have quickly developed this morning. As of 1720Z a few are moving over the KMSL terminal producing very heavy rainfall and have dropped vsbys down to IFR and briefly down to LIFR categories. Expect these to drift north towards the AL/TN border in the next hour with cigs/vsbys increasing back to MVFR/VFR conditions. The coverage of storms this afternoon is expected to increase and main impacts with storms will be wind gusts upwards of 25 to 30kts and very heavy rain lowering vsbys to 1 mile or less. Most activity will begin to diminish after sunset but recent models are indicating the potential for some redevelopment of storms over northern MS/NW AL later tonight. Confidence in this is low and have left out of the TAFs for the moment. Amendments will be needed to handle the movement of storms near the terminals later today.
