196 FXUS64 KHUN 160558 AFDHUN Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Huntsville AL 1258 AM CDT Mon Sep 16 2024 ...New AVIATION... .NEAR TERM... (Tonight) Issued at 858 PM CDT Sun Sep 15 2024 Stray showers continue to push northwestward through the TN Valley tonight, producing light precipitation through the I-65 corridor and into portions of NW AL. A low chance of showers (20% or less) continues overnight into the early morning hours for portions of Cullman, Morgan, Lawrence, Franklin (AL), Colbert, and Lauderdale counties. However, most locations are forecast to remain dry overnight into Monday. Low temperatures are forecast to drop into the low to mid 60s accompanied by winds around 5-10 mph with occasionally higher gusts. Despite clearing skies in northeast AL and portions of southern middle TN, winds should mitigate fog formation overnight. However, confidence in this is low and the forecast may need to be adjusted if winds decrease. No major changes were made to the previous forecast as it remains on track. && .SHORT TERM... (Monday through Wednesday) Issued at 123 PM CDT Sun Sep 15 2024 To start off the work week, the Tennessee Valley will be located in between the remnant convergence boundary to our west and a tropical like wave off the Carolina coast. As a result, subsidence in between these two features will allow for mostly sunny skies and dry conditions. Temperatures will be near climatological norms for this time of year with afternoon highs in the mid 80s and overnight lows in the upper 50s to lower 60s. A welcomed changed after the last several cloudy and rainy days. && .LONG TERM... (Wednesday night through Saturday) Issued at 223 AM CDT Sun Sep 15 2024 Sandwiched between weak troughing on either side at the mid levels, high pressure to our NE will remain the dominant feature through the long term forecast. This will continue our string of mundane weather with virtually no rain chances and clear skies each day supported by the high and dry airmass. With a mostly unchanged airmass in place through the duration of the long term, highs will remain in the mid to high 80s each day with lows gradually increasing from the low 60s to the high 60s by the end of the period. && .AVIATION... (06Z TAFS) Issued at 1257 AM CDT Mon Sep 16 2024 VFR conditions will prevail through the TAF period with cloud cover slow to clear from east to west. Winds will be generally from the east with occasional gusts to 13kts at times. && .HUN WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... AL...None.
