104 FXUS64 KHUN 271131 AFDHUN Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Huntsville AL 631 AM CDT Sun Apr 27 2025 ...New AVIATION... .NEAR TERM... (Today) Issued at 431 AM CDT Sun Apr 27 2025 An upper level low moving across the New England region, as it departs the coast, will induce upper level ridging across the southern CONUS. A surface high situated over the Great Lakes will bring drier and somewhat cooler air across the area. A larger temperature/dewpoint separation and a light NE flow for the most part has hampered development of fog unlike last night. There was earlier fog development in those more sheltered valley locations like DeKalb county. The fog had dissipated as drier air filtered in. An area of high altitude clouds from dissipating complexes that brought convection across AR/LA to MO were moving across this region. Showers associated with those systems were also fading as they moved into a generally drier environment under the influence of the Great Lakes high. Thus am staying with a dry forecast to start off the week. Under partly cloudy skies, high temperatures should rise into the mid 70s to around 80 with light NE-E winds. && .SHORT TERM... (Sunday night through Tuesday) Issued at 1033 PM CDT Sat Apr 26 2025 A frontal boundary is forecast to move back into the area Monday from the southwest, allowing low rain chances (20% or less) Monday afternoon into Tuesday. However, dry conditions will likely persist through mid week as upper level ridging continues to influence the area from the west. During this time, high temperatures are forecast to reach the low to mid 80s with overnight lows in the 50s-60s. && .LONG TERM... (Tuesday night through Saturday) Issued at 1033 PM CDT Sat Apr 26 2025 An upper level shortwave is forecast to move in from the west by mid week, bringing low chances of shower/storm chances to the area on Wednesday before they increase on Thursday to medium to high chances. Any shower development on Thursday will have a low chance of becoming strong as the environment continues to look favorable for threats of gusty winds and small hail in addition to moderate to heavy rainfall. Friday, low to medium rain chances continue into the afternoon with a cold frontal passage. Zonal flow is forecast to replace this and subsequent dry conditions return to the area to end the week. We have low confidence in timing and chances of this system due to it being several days out, but we encourage everyone to check back in for updates throughout the week. Otherwise, high temperatures during this time are forecast to reach the 70s-80s with overnight lows in the 50s-60s. && .AVIATION... (12Z TAFS) Issued at 631 AM CDT Sun Apr 27 2025 VFR weather should continue for the TAF. Surface high pressure over the southern Great Lakes will build across the western Mid Atlantic by this evening. A weak upper level disturbance over the Mississippi Delta will move east, bringing slightly higher amounts of lower level moisture. Daytime heating should result in the formation of cumulus, and maybe a few towering cumulus this afternoon. Although a brief shower cannot be ruled out, chances of them impacting a terminal are too low for inclusion in the TAF. NE-E winds this morning will veer to a SW direction at KHSV this afternoon, and should remain more from the E at KMSL. Winds will become light and variable shortly after dusk. && .HUN WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... AL...None. TN...None. && $$ NEAR TERM...RSB SHORT TERM....HC LONG TERM....HC AVIATION...RSB
