AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MOBILE AL
500 AM CDT WED JUL 19 2006

.SHORT TERM (TODAY THROUGH THURSDAY)...A WEAK SHORTWAVE
MOVING SOUTH OUT OF THE TENNESSEE RIVER VALLEY REGION WILL SPARK OFF
SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA TODAY.
THE STORMS TO THE NORTH AHEAD OF THIS FEATURE HAVE DIMINISHED IN
COVERAGE AND INTENSITY OVER THE PAST FEW HOURS...HOWEVER SEVERAL
REMNANT OUTFLOW BOUNDARIES ARE LINGERING JUST TO THE NORTHWEST OF
OUR AREA AND THESE WILL ALSO LIKELY PROVIDE A SURFACE FOCUS FOR MORE
ORGANIZED CONVECTION BY THE EARLY AFTERNOON HOURS MOVING DOWN THE
MEAN LAYER FLOW INTO OUR INLAND ZONES.  AGAIN...WE COULD SEE A FEW
STRONG STORMS IN THE AFTERNOON HOURS WITH VERY FREQUENT LIGHTNING
STRIKES AND GUSTY WINDS AROUND 45 MPH.  THE SHORTWAVE WILL SHIFT
SOUTHWEST AROUND THE WESTERN PERIPHERY OF THE CENTRAL PLAINS RIDGE
AND DAMPEN OUT TONIGHT.  FOR TOMORROW...ANOTHER PIECE OF UPPER
ENERGY ROUNDING THE EASTERN SIDE OF THE CENTRAL PLAINS RIDGE WILL
SHIFT DOWN ACROSS MISSISSIPPI AND ALABAMA.  FOR NOW WE WILL STICK
CLOSE TO GUIDANCE WITH 20 PERCENT POPS MOST AREAS...HOWEVER WE MAY
HAVE TO TWEAK THOSE UP INTO THE SCATTERED RANGE LATER TODAY OR
TONIGHT AS WE GET A BETTER FEEL ON THE TIMING AND PLACEMENT OF THE
UPPER FEATURES FOR TOMORROW.  WE SPLIT THE MET/MAV TEMP VALUES
INLAND TODAY GIVEN SLIGHTLY GREATER AFTERNOON CLOUDCOVER DUE TO
SCATTERED STORMS (IN COMPARISON TO YESTERDAY) KEEPING US FROM
TOPPING OUT AS HIGH AT THE MET BUT STILL ABOVE THE MAV WHICH HAS
BEEN PERSISTENTLY TOO COOL OF LATE.  WE WILL AGAIN SEE AFTERNOON
HEAT INDEX VALUES TOP OUT IN THE 100 TO 105 RANGE TODAY AND
TOMORROW.  /05

.LONG TERM (FRIDAY THROUGH NEXT WEDNESDAY)...THE CENTRAL PLAINS
UPPER RIDGE TRANSLATES WESTWARD THROUGH EARLY NEXT WEEK AS A
SHORTWAVE AMPLIFIES THE EASTERN STATES TROUGH A BIT.  WITH THE AXIS
OF THE UPPER TROUGH WEST OF OUR AREA...AND WITH A SHORTWAVE
TRANSITIONING THROUGH THE FLOW JUST NORTH OF OUR AREA...WE
ADVERTISED SLIGHTLY GREATER COVERAGES OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS
SATURDAY INTO SUNDAY.  THE UPPER TROUGH TRANSLATES EAST AND
DE-AMPLIFIES BY THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK...THEN A WEAK UPPER RIDGE
BUILDS IN ACROSS THE AREA WITH THE WESTERN ATLANTIC LOW LEVEL RIDGE
TO THE EAST PROVIDING A PATTERN CONDUCIVE FOR TYPICAL ISOLATED TO
SCATTERED DIURNAL CONVECTION.  /05

&&

.MARINE...A WEAK RIDGE OF HIGH PRES WILL CONTINUE OVER THE NORTH
CENTRAL GULF THROUGH EARLY NEXT WEEK. SOUTHERLY WINDS AND SEAS WILL
BUILD SLIGHTLY LATE SATURDAY THROUGH EARLY NEXT WEEK IN RESPONSE TO
H5 TROF AND WEAKENING FRONTAL BOUNDARY MOVING ACROSS CENTRAL AND
LOWER SECTIONS OF MS...AL AND GA. SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL
GENERALLY BE ISOLATED OVER THE MARINE AREA THROUGH FRIDAY BECOMING
MOSTLY SCATTERED SATURDAY THROUGH EARLY NEXT WEEK AS UPPER TROF
MOVES ACROSS THE REGION. /32
