US Weekly Rainfall Departure		US Weekly Temperature Departure

Issued at 1207 PM CDT TUE APR 16 2024

Morning clouds have finally mixed out which has allowed for a
window of sunshine which should stick around this afternoon. 
We'll warm nicely with highs in the low to mid 80s with passing 
mid-high clouds. Winds will remain southerly at 5-10 mph with 
low-level ridging parked to our southeast.

Conditions will calm tonight, though clouds will be on the
increase from the west as a weakening front and line of 
convection nears the Tennessee Valley. Lows will settle in the 
60s. This line of decaying convection is forecast to move into 
Central Alabama during the early morning hours, progressing 
southeast toward the I-20 corridor by Noon or so. Instability 
parameters remain on the marginal side (500-1,000 J/kg SBCAPE) despite
sufficient westerly shear vectors for organized storms. Forcing 
is also quite low, with little convergence in the low-levels and 
best support aloft well to our north. Thunderstorms remain in the
forecast, though we're not expecting any meaningful threat for 
severe weather due to the lack of overlapping forcing &
instability.
