Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Huntsville AL 108 PM CDT Mon Jun 6 2022 ...New NEAR TERM, SHORT TERM, LONG TERM... .NEAR TERM... (Tonight) Issued at 108 PM CDT Mon Jun 6 2022 A turn to south-southwest flow at the surface has advected dew points in the upper 60s to around 70 into the area. Despite some subsidence behind a departing shortwave, an MCV over MO and AR was increasing lift and deep layer moisture transport across the lower OH and TN valleys. A plume of rather unstable CAPE now resides across the lower MS valley and mid south. We will continue to experience a few thunderstorms into the evening. The best convergence and moisture transport axis will remain over TN and KY through this evening in line of the MCV track and best dPVA. Then, the convergence will shift southeast into north AL and southern TN after 06Z as steering flow becomes more northwest. This may bring additional convection into the area late tonight as the convergence zone and possible outflow boundary shifts southeast with an MCS or at minimum loosely organized cellular convection. && .SHORT TERM... (Tuesday through Thursday) Issued at 108 PM CDT Mon Jun 6 2022 Convection will likely be ongoing at 12Z in an east-west band along an outflow/convergence boundary. This will tend to fade with loss of QG forcing and weakening low level flow. Depending on the degree of cloud debris, afternoon heating should generate a few additional thunderstorms during the afternoon and early evening hours, and perhaps through the night if a nocturnal increase in the low level flow can occur and increase convergence again. On Wednesday, either an MCV or ongoing MCS will likely track out of the Plains into the region. Timing is in question, but the WNW flow pattern and thermodynamic fields will support MCS maintenance. Also in question is whether the convergence boundary will remain over our area or just to the north in TN and KY. For now, will stick close to suggested blends with likely PoPs south and categorical PoPs north. Shear and thermodynamic profiles would favor at least strong wind gusts and possible severe thunderstorms. The area should get a break either later Wednesday night and most likely on Thursday behind the cold front. && .LONG TERM... (Thursday night through Sunday) Issued at 108 PM CDT Mon Jun 6 2022 Yet another short wave arrives in the west-northwest flow pattern Friday. This feature will likely carry a greater threat of an organized MCS which could produce severe weather. Exact timing is still much in question, but shear and buoyancy should be sufficient. Will carry suggested blended PoPs in the likely range Friday into Friday night, but that could change. Other than possible lingering showers or a few thunderstorms early Saturday, a return to quiet weather on Sunday is expected. && .AVIATION... (18Z TAFS) Issued at 1132 AM CDT Mon Jun 6 2022 VFR conditions should prevail most of this afternoon into this evening. There is a risk of an isolated SHRA or TSRA. A greater chance of SHRA and TSRA will arrive after 08Z with lower ceilings developing of 020-025agl (MVFR). A few SHRA and TSRA may linger into Tuesday morning so have included VCSH given this uncertainty. && .HUN WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... AL...None.
