887 FXUS64 KHUN 281037 AFDHUN Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Huntsville AL 537 AM CDT Tue May 28 2024 ...New AVIATION... .NEAR TERM... (Today) Issued at 311 AM CDT Tue May 28 2024 Clear skies and light, variable winds will allow patchy to dense fog formation throughout the Tennessee Valley this morning. If this fog becomes dense and widespread in nature, a Dense Fog Advisory may be needed. Any fog that forms will dissipate by the mid morning hours after sunrise. This afternoon, sfc high pressure from the Mississippi Valley will allow dry weather to remain in place with mostly sunny skies. High temperatures are forecast to reach the low to mid 80s with northwesterly winds around 5-10 mph, occasionally gusting to 15 mph. && .SHORT TERM... (Tonight through Friday) Issued at 311 AM CDT Tue May 28 2024 Upper level ridging will allow mostly dry weather (less than 10% chances of rain) to continue through the end of the work week. During this time, highs are forecast to be in the upper 70s to mid 80s with overnight lows in the 50s/60s. Skies are forecast to remain mostly sunny with the exception of some cloud cover on Wednesday into Thursday as a result of increased positive vorticity advection to our southwest. This may allow some showers to sneak into our southern counties, however, confidence in this is too low to increase PoPs above 10%. && .LONG TERM... (Friday night through Monday) Issued at 311 AM CDT Tue May 28 2024 Upper level ridging moves over the Tennessee Valley and continues eastward Friday before a shortwave trough begins to influence the area from the west. This will bring increased rain chances (30% or less) that evening. Medium shower/storm chances (30-50%) stay in place through the weekend with any storms that forms capable of producing lightning, gusty winds, and small hail. High temperatures are forecast to reach the low to mid 80s with overnight lows in the upper 50s to mid 60s. && .AVIATION...
