Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Huntsville AL 535 PM CDT Sat Jun 22 2019 .UPDATE... For 00Z TAFS. && .NEAR TERM...(Tonight) Issued at 427 PM CDT Sat Jun 22 2019 A rather busy time in the convective department for the first full day of summer. A frontal boundary that moved towards the area last night has once again rebounded to the north, placing most of the southeastern CONUS in a moist atmosphere. This moisture has resulted in precipitable water amounts ranging from 1.5" to 1.9" and dewpoint values up into the low/mid 70s. This earlier heating yielded heat indices into the 104 degree range. This heat produced a very unstable atmosphere, resulting in scattered to numerous showers and t-storms. Some of those storms were severe, with a number of reports of high winds and large hail. The strongest convection has generally moved south of the area as of the late afternoon. However new development noted over western and middle Tennessee could being more shower and storm chances this evening and into the overnight. The models as usual were having difficulty in depicting night-time coverage. The HiRes and HRRR were showing at storm coverage diminishing into the mid and late night. The RAP was hinting at late night redevelopment to add to the mix. Stayed on a drier trend for the late night. Otherwise mild to muggy conditions with lows in low to mid 70s. .SHORT TERM...(Sunday through Monday) Issued at 427 PM CDT Sat Jun 22 2019 Isolated to scattered showers/thunderstorms are forecast to start a new week, as a moisture atmosphere continues. Precip coverage from the models does not look as widespread. However, another complex was being picked up by the models, that will bring widespread convection on Monday. Some of the storms during this period could become strong, with gusty winds and locally heavy rainfall possible. Between the clouds and storms, slightly warmer than seasonable norms, with highs in the upper 80s to lower 90s on Sunday. Better rain chances will bring more clouds, and slightly cooler conditions with highs in the upper 80s on Monday. .LONG TERM...(Monday night through Friday) Issued at 427 PM CDT Sat Jun 22 2019 Surface high pressure anchored off of the southeast coast will help to maintain a southerly flow, keeping a feed of moisture from the Gulf for much of next week. This moist and unstable flow, along with strong daytime heating will bring daily chances of showers and thunderstorms for much of the period. Stayed with a diurnal trend regarding rain chances (higher in the day, lesser to "nill" at night). Daily high/low temperature for much of next week should average at to maybe a tad above seasonable norms, with highs in the upper 80s to around 90, and low temperatures near 70. && .AVIATION...(For the 00Z TAFS through 00Z Sunday evening) Issued at 540 PM CDT Sat Jun 22 2019 Line of thunderstorms in southern TN will slowly migrate southeast through the KMSL and KHSV areas through 04Z. +TSRA and gusty winds are likely. Then, as the thunderstorms diminish or move south, VFR conditions are expected through Sunday morning. Additional thunderstorms may be possible Sunday afternoon, but will keep out for now due to low confidence. && .HUN WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... AL...NONE.
