Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Huntsville AL 939 AM CDT Tue Aug 9 2022 ...New NEAR TERM... .NEAR TERM... (Rest of Today) Issued at 938 AM CDT Tue Aug 9 2022 VIS satellite shows broken cloud cover across the TN Valley this morning as temps sit in the upper 70s at this hour (14Z). We remain seated between high pressure along the Mid-Atlantic and across the Plains and Rockies. Southerly flow will continue to pull moisture into the region as a sfc low sits off to our NW up in the Mid MS Valley. With a more saturated sounding today, showers/storms will produce heavy rainfall and could lead to isolated flooding. The increase in cloud cover and rainfall will keep temps in the 80s today, but the high humidity persists. Isolated showers have already developed this morning and will increase in coverage throughout the day, becoming numerous to widespread by this afternoon. Adjusted the cloud cover and POPs to accommodate for current trends, otherwise the forecast is on track for today. && .SHORT TERM... (Tonight through Thursday) Issued at 256 AM CDT Tue Aug 9 2022 Storms will begin to weaken in coverage after sunset with the loss of diurnal heating, but isolated showers and storms will remain possible overnight. Some patchy fog in and near river valleys cannot be ruled out if cloud cover thins enough, but that does not look very likely at this time. The upper trough will continue tracking east over the Great Lakes while ridging amplifies over the Rockies and central Plains. A sfc front will slowly drift south through the OH River Valley Wednesday into Thursday, and sfc convergence will begin to increase over this time. This combined with a moisture rich environment will lead to widespread showers and storms both days, and once again will have to monitor for flooding as PWATs rise as high as 2.2" ahead of the front. Severe storms are not expected, but gusty winds and frequent lightning could accompany these storms. High temps will be limited to the mid to upper 80s thanks to cloud cover and rain, and overnight lows will be near 70 degrees. Models are in pretty good agreement that the front will move through the area in the 18-00z timeframe Thursday afternoon, and slightly drier air will begin to filter into the area. && .LONG TERM... (Thursday night through Monday) Issued at 256 AM CDT Tue Aug 9 2022 High pressure will sink into the Appalachians and our flow will become more northeasterly on Friday. The good news is that we will be in for a beautiful weekend, with no rain expected Friday through Sunday. High temperatures will range from the mid 80s to low 90s with lows in the 60s. Fall lovers may be in for a pre- season treat Saturday morning, as some locations could see temperatures fall as low as 61-62 degrees. Moisture will begin to return to the area late Sunday, and chances for rain will increase heading into the new work week. && .AVIATION... (12Z TAFS) Issued at 624 AM CDT Tue Aug 9 2022 Numerous showers and storms are forecast today, and have been included in the TAFs at both terminals primarily during peak daytime heating hours. Heavy rain and lightning will accompany these storms, and wind gusts near 40kts could result from a strong storm or two. Reductions to MVFR/IFR cigs and vsbys will be possible within heavier showers, and TAFs may need to be amended if storms fire earlier than anticipated. VFR conditions are expected outside of shower/storm activity. && .HUN WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... AL...None. TN...None. && NEAR TERM...JMS SHORT TERM....25 LONG TERM....25 AVIATION...25
