365 FXUS64 KHUN 151823 AFDHUN Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Huntsville AL 123 PM CDT Sun Sep 15 2024 ...New NEAR TERM, SHORT TERM... .NEAR TERM... (Tonight) Issued at 123 PM CDT Sun Sep 15 2024 The convergence boundary that produced significant amounts of rainfall across NW AL has finally pushed into MS. While a few stray showers are possible tonight in far NW AL, most locations should remain dry. Any rain that does fall will be light. Overcast skies persist through the overnight hours for the western half of the forecast area with some clearing further to the east. As a result, temperatures only dip down into the upper 60s in our west and lower 60s in our east. Winds remain light around 5-10 mph through the night, limiting any fog development where skies do clear out. && .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... (18Z TAFS) Issued at 1140 AM CDT Sun Sep 15 2024 Breezy southeasterly winds up to 25 knots will persist through the afternoon and into the early evening until subsiding around sunset. Otherwise, expect VFR conditions to continue through the remainder of the TAF forecast period. && .HUN WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... AL...None.
