The local office's own words before the first event, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS Huntsville, AL wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Jul 10, 1:46 PM CST, 2 hours 34 minutes earlier.
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Huntsville AL 246 PM CDT Thu Jul 10 2025 ...New NEAR TERM... .NEAR TERM... (Tonight) Issued at 246 PM CDT Thu Jul 10 2025 Showers and thunderstorms continue to slowly move eastward this afternoon. Coverage of storms is a bit less than the previous days, but given enough heating during the day these should linger into the evening before diminishing tonight. Biggest concern with storms this afternoon and evening is gusty winds and locally heavy rainfall. If any storms train over the same location then flash flooding could become and issue. Skies are expected to slowly clear tonight and given wet grounds, some patchy fog is expected to develop. The greatest confidence is in sheltered valleys and along area rivers and lakes. Another humid night is in store with overnight lows only dropping down into the upper 60s to lower 70s. && .SHORT TERM... (Friday through Sunday) Issued at 1039 AM CDT Thu Jul 10 2025 An upper level trough continues to push southeast into the Tennessee Valley as we head into the upcoming weekend. A few shortwaves will ripple through the local forecast area resulting in daily medium (40-60%) chances Friday through Sunday. Heat will gradually build this weekend as well with afternoon highs returning to the low to mid 90s, with the warmest temperatures west of I-65. This brings heat index values between 100-105F. While still below advisory criteria, it will be hot and proper heat safety will be needed especially in the afternoon hours. As for the storms, some strong storms are once again expected to develop given 1500-2000 J/kg of instability, but no shear. Therefore, gusty winds and locally heavy rainfall are the main concerns. && .LONG TERM... (Sunday night through Thursday) Issued at 938 PM CDT Wed Jul 9 2025 By the start of the long term forecast high pressure at the surface and aloft will have made its way west across the FL Peninsula into the SE CONUS. High pressure will dominate the long term forecast however we will not reap the the benefits of high pressure influence (aka subsidence suppressing rain and storm chances) rather, continued ESE flow will maintain high dew points in low to mid 70s as well as PWATS just below 2". This moist environment will combat subsidence from high pressure and amount to continued medium scattered rain and storm chances each afternoon through the long term forecast. A lack of forcing will dissuade any widespread severe chances. Models diverge slightly on the exact location of high pressure as we head into the middle of the week. With a warming trend developing through mid week, the exact location of high pressure will dictate just how hot we get. Should the high pressure center be closer to the TN Valley, we will likely be flirting with or just over Heat Advisory criteria many days next week. Should high pressure remain slightly further removed, we may not quite reach the 105 heat index criteria. We will keep a close eye on this trend as the period draws closer. && .AVIATION... (12Z TAFS) Issued at 623 AM CDT Thu Jul 10 2025 LIFR conditions due to dense fog will continue for another hour or so, before dissipating by mid-morning. VFR conditions will prevail this morning, but medium chances for TSRA may result in a return to MVFR conditions later this afternoon and evening. Have added a TEMPO to account for this in the TAFs. AWWs and amendments may be needed during this window. && .HUN WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... AL...None. TN...None. && NEAR TERM...GH SHORT TERM....GH LONG TERM....RAD AVIATION...AMP
