AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MOBILE AL
300 AM CDT THU JUN 24 1999

HEAVY RAIN AND THUNDERSTORMS MOVING SLOWLY THROUGH THE NORTHERN CWA
THIS MORNING. THIS ACTIVITY IS ASSOCIATED WITH A WEAK SHORT WAVE
MOVING THROUGH THE AREA. ANIMATED WATER VAPOR IMAGERY IS SHOWING THE
MAIN ENERGY OF THE SHORT WAVE PROGRESSING INTO THE MIDDLE MISSISSIPPI
VALLEY AND IS PROGGED TO REMAIN WELL NORTH OF THE AREA AS IT PASSES
EASTWARD THROUGH FRIDAY. SOUNDING FROM JACKSON MS AND BIRMINGHAM AL
ARE STILL SHOWING ABUNDANT DEEP LAYER MOISTURE WITH PRECIPITABLE
WATER VALUES AT OR ABOVE TWO INCHES. THUS ITS GOING TO BE A
PERSISTENCE TYPE FORECAST...KEEPING IT ON THE WET SIDE. HEAVY RAIN
AND LOCALIZED FLOODING WILL AGAIN BE THE BIG WEATHER ITEMS. AVN AND
ETA DEVELOPING ANOTHER LOW IN OKLAHOMA BY LATE FRI AND KEEPING A
LITTLE FURTHER SOUTH THAN THE FIRST WITH NGM IS LESS AGGRESSIVE. THE
SAME DAILY PATTERN APPLIES WITH THE SHORT WAVE ENERGY INTERACTING
WITH THE AFTERNOON SEA BREEZE BOUNDARY AND CAUSING THE HEAVIEST
RAINFALL IN THE MORE INLAND COUNTIES. CLOUD COVER WILL AGAIN KEEP
HIGH TEMPS IN CHECK.

OVER THE COASTAL WATERS...LIGHT SOUTHERLY WINDS INCREASING SLIGHTLY
AND BECOMING SOUTHWESTERLY AS SHORT WAVES PASSES TO THE NORTH.
INCREASED OFFSHORE THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY BY FRIDAY AS WELL.
