AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MOBILE AL
315 AM CDT SUN JUL 16 2006

.SHORT TERM...LARGE UPPER HIGH PRESSURE DOMINATES MOST OF THE
COUNTRY...EXCEPT OVER THE SOUTHEAST STATES WHERE A TROUGH IS MOVING
SOUTH ALONG THE EASTERN PERIPHERY. THIS TROUGH IS ALSO REFLECTED IN
THE LOW LEVELS...INCLUDING THE SURFACE PRESSURE FIELDS...WHICH
EXTENDS FROM THE CAROLINA COAST ACROSS CENTRAL ALABAMA. THE TROUGH
WILL CONTINUE TO MIGRATE SLOWLY SOUTH AND THE GFS DEVELOPS A WEAK
AREA OF LOW PRESSURE ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA THIS AFTERNOON. THESE
FEATURES...COMBINED WITH ABOVE NORMAL ATMOSPHERIC MOISTURE...WILL
ALLOW SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TO REDEVELOP AGAIN TODAY.
A FEW STORMS SHOULD REMAIN INTO THE EVENING HOURS AS THE TROUGH
NEARS. KMOB AND KEVX RADARS DETECTING ISOLATED SHOWERS BEGINNING TO
REDEVELOP OVER THE COASTAL WATERS. THIS PRECIPITATION WILL EXPAND IN
COVERAGE OFFSHORE EARLY THIS MORNING...AND DEVELOP INLAND THROUGHOUT
THE DAY. HOT TEMPERATURES AGAIN THIS AFTERNOON WITH HIGHS REACHING
THE LOW TO MID 90S...WITH HEAT INDEX VALUES IN THE LOW 100S. /22

&&

.LONG TERM...(MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY). THE WEAK LOW OVER THE CWFA
...POSITIONED ALONG OR NEAR A WEAK FRONTAL BOUNDARY STALLED ACROSS
THE SE CONUS AND CENTRAL GULF STATES...FILLS AND DRIFTS WEST ALONG
THE WEAKENING BOUNDARY THROUGH MIDWEEK. ALOFT WEAK MIDLEVEL FORCING
IS NOTED BOTH MON AND TUE BY THE GFS AND NAM MAINLY IN THE FORM OF A
SHEAR ZONE FROM THE H5 TROF LIFTING OFF TO THE NE. WITH THIS AND
BETTER MOISTURE CONVERGENCE NEAR THE EXISTING SFC BOUNDARY BETTER
RAIN CHANCES CAN BE EXPECTED FOR MUCH OF THE CWFA THROUGH MIDWEEK.
ALTHOUGH THE CURRENT MAVMOS DEPICTS LIKELY POPS FOR MOST SOUTHERN
SECTIONS OF THE CWFA ON MON WILL OPT TO LEAN TOWARDS THE SLIGHTLY
LOWER MET GUIDANCE FOR NOW. WILL CONTINUE TO USE THE CURRENT MEX
GUIDANCE FOR TEMPS THROUGH THE PD. /32

&&

.MARINE...SURFACE TROUGH EXTENDING FROM THE CAROLINA COAST ACROSS
CENTRAL ALABAMA WILL MOVE CLOSER TO THE COAST TODAY. THIS WILL BRING
A MORE WESTERLY COMPONENT TO THE WIND FLOW TODAY AND MONDAY. THE LOW

OF HIGH PRESSURE RESUMES CONTROL ACROSS THE SOUTHEAST STATES. A
LIGHT TO OCCASIONALLY MODERATE ONSHORE FLOW SHOULD THEN RESUME BY
MIDWEEK. /22
