NWS Huntsville, AL wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Sep 22, 12:11 PM CST, 2 hours 49 minutes earlier.
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Huntsville AL 111 PM CDT Mon Sep 22 2025 ...New NEAR TERM... .NEAR TERM... (This Afternoon and Tonight) Issued at 110 PM CDT Mon Sep 22 2025 As expected, thunderstorms have developed rapidly during the past couple of hours across southern middle TN through northwest AL. A couple of storms have shown transient TBSS with small hail. Expect thunderstorms to persist with SBCAPE of 2000-2500 j/kg and ample daytime heating. Not much change in thinking from earlier update for tonight with a low chance this evening and again late tonight when the next upper level impulse arrives. Previous Discussion... Issued at 1010 AM CDT Mon Sep 22 2025 Visible imagery shows that widespread mostly mid level clouds are beginning to thin out in some areas, allowing for more prolific sunshine and solar heating. With dew points in the upper 60s to around 70, scattered bands of showers and thunderstorms should develop through the day. With a weakly sheared environment and modest lapse rates, would not expect an organized severe threat today. But a few stronger storms still seem plausible. A decline in activity after sunset should occur as well although an MCV from the MCS over AR may tend to keep some activity around through the night, especially to our north in TN and KY. Expect high temperatures in the middle 80s to around 90 this afternoon (a few degrees cooler atop the higher elevations). High dew points in the 60s will keep overnight lows in the middle to upper 60s. && && .SHORT TERM... (Tuesday through Wednesday night) Issued at 1010 AM CDT Mon Sep 22 2025 Another MCV will advance from the Plains into the mid South and OH valley on Tuesday as moist and warm southerly flow persists in low levels. The more widespread convective activity will be to our north and closer to low level convergence at the nose of the low level jet of 20-30kt. We will maintain low chances of thunderstorms through Tuesday into Tuesday night, with a low threat of gusty to damaging winds. High temperatures will once again reach the middle 80s to around 90 in valley areas. Chances of more organized thunderstorms and some severe weather increase Wednesday afternoon into Wednesday night as an upper trough drops southeast into the Great Lakes through the southern PLains. This will enhance mid level winds into the 30-40kt range, increasing the bulk shear profile. The biggest question mark is the amount of cloud cover and instability that can develop ahead of this system. Several of the models indicate several ongoing convective clusters to our west that may move in during the daylight hours which may inhibit stronger daytime heating. In either case, medium to high chances of showers and thunderstorms will remain in the forecast Wednesday through Wednesday night. && .LONG TERM... (Thursday through Sunday) Issued at 1051 PM CDT Sun Sep 21 2025 Global models suggest that the coverage of rain and thunderstorms will remain rather high across the TN Valley on Thursday, with redevelopment of another band of convection possible during the afternoon/evening as a weak cold front slides southeastward into the forecast area. Although mid-level winds will remain in the 40-50 knot range and conducive for organized thunderstorms, impacts from previous convection make instability highly uncertain. Regardless, locally heavy rainfall will remain a possibility given precipitable water values in the 1.8-1.9" range. Present indications are that a drier and slightly cooler continental airmass will finally work its way southeastward into the region Thursday night/Friday morning, and although some low- clouds and warp-around showers will be possible on Friday, the remainder of the period appears to be dry at this point. Highs will be in the u70s-l80s, with lows in the u50s-l60s. && .AVIATION... (18Z TAFS) Issued at 1150 AM CDT Mon Sep 22 2025 VFR conditions continue for now, but will need to be monitored as VCTS may need to be added this afternoon for both KMSL and KHSV with subsequent MVFR conditions possible. Otherwise, showers and thunderstorms may linger through the TAF period, with MVFR conditions possible as any showers/storms move over the airport sites due to reduced visibilities. PROB30 groups have been added to account for this. && .HUN WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... AL...None. TN...None. && NEAR TERM...17 SHORT TERM....17 LONG TERM....70 AVIATION...HC
