NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MOBILE AL
512 AM CDT FRI JUN 23 2006

.SHORT TERM (TODAY AND TONIGHT)...SURFACE RIDGE EXTENDING SOUTHWEST
FROM HIGH PRESSURE CENTERED OVER THE WESTERN ATLANTIC WILL CONTINUE
TO WEAKEN OVER THE NEXT 24 HOURS. UPPER RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE ALSO
BEGINS TO BREAK DOWN AS BROAD TROUGH SETS UP OVER THE EASTERN CONUS.
SCATTERED PRECIP WILL ONCE AGAIN DEVELOP ALONG AND NORTH OF THE SEA
BREEZE FRONT...POSSIBLY AS EARLY AS LATE MORNING THIS TIME. ISOLATED
CONVECTION ALONG THE COAST. A FEW SHOWERS OR STORMS WILL LIKELY
PERSIST INTO THE EVENING HOURS. HIGH TEMPERATURES THIS AFTERNOON
SHOULD BE ABOUT A 5 DEGREES COOLER COMPARED TO YESTERDAYS DUE TO
INCREASED CLOUD COVER.

(SATURDAY THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT)...SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE CONTINUES TO
BREAK DOWN AS EITHER A CLOSED SURFACE LOW OR INVERTED TROUGH
DEVELOPS ACROSS THE SOUTHEAST STATES. SURFACE COLD FRONT TO THE
NORTH WILL GRADUALLY SLIDE SOUTHEAST INTO THE FORECAST AREA OVER THE
WEEKEND...AND MAY PARALLEL I-65 BY SUNDAY EVENING. BEST CHANCE OF
PRECIP WILL OCCUR SATURDAY AFTERNOON WITH SCATTERED SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS DEVELOPING AHEAD OF THE FRONT. CLEARING SKIES BEHIND
THE FRONT SUNDAY AND SUNDAY NIGHT WILL LEAVE AREAS NORTHWEST OF I-65
MOSTLY RAIN FREE...WHILE SCATTERED COVERAGE REMAINS TO THE
SOUTHEAST. /22

.LONG TERM (MONDAY THROUGH THURSDAY)...UPPER TROUGH BECOMES EVEN
MORE AMPLIFIED BY EARLY NEXT WEEK. THIS WILL ALLOW A RARE LATE JUNE
COLD FRONT TO ENTER INTO THE GULF WATERS EARLY NEXT WEEK...AND THAN
DISSIPATE BY MID WEEK. DRIER PATTERN WILL SET UP IN POST-FRONTAL /
SUBSIDENT ENVIRONMENT AS UPPER TROUGH LIFTS TO THE NORTHEAST. ZONAL

WEAK EASTERLY WAVE...VIS-A-VIS INVERTED TROUGH...MOVES INTO THE
REGION FROM FLORIDA. THIS WILL PERSIST THROUGH THE FIRST OF NEXT

SUBSIDENCE BRINGING BRIEF ONSHORE WINDS NEAR THE COAST. WINDS WILL
BE WEST TO NORTHWEST ELSEWHERE THROUGH SATURDAY. LATE SUNDAY THEY
WILL BE BECOME SOUTHWEST ALLOWING THE SEABREEZE TO BECOME MORE
VIGOROUS AS STABILITY RELAXES SOME...WITH MORE CONVECTION FOLLOWING
