AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MOBILE AL
510 AM CST TUE JAN 17 2006

.SHORT TERM...

LATEST SFC ANALYSIS AND SATELLITE LOOPS CONTINUE TO SHOW A COLD
FRONT MOVING QUICKLY EAST OVER WESTERN AND CENTRAL SECTIONS OF MS.
THIS FORWARD MOTION IS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE THROUGH THIS AFTERNOON.
CURRENT ETA AND GFS SOLUTIONS DEPICT INCREASED CONVECTION ALONG THE
FRONT MOSTLY EAST OF THE I-65 CORRIDOR. DUE TO SOME SFC BASED
HEATING AND STRONG JET DYNAMICS...50 KNOTS AT 850 MB COUPLED WITH
THE RRQ OF A 140 KT JET...A FEW STORMS COULD BECOME STRONG TO SEVERE
MOSTLY FROM 14Z TO 20Z OVER THE EASTERN HALF OF THE CWFA. DUE TO LOW
LCLS AND HIGHER HELICITIES NEAR THE COAST AND EASTWARD A FEW LOW
TOPPED ROTATORS CANTT BE RULED OUT. THE COLD FRONT MOVES EAST OF
THE CWFA BY LATE THIS AFTERNOON GIVING WAY TO GUSTY WEST TO
NORTHWEST WINDS IN THE WAKE OF THE FRONT THROUGH LATE TONIGHT. WINDS
WILL GRADUALLY DIMINISH DURING THE EARLY MORNING HOURS ON WED. WILL
GENERALLY STAY CLOSE TO THE CURRENT MAVMOS TEMPS...STRAYING A DEGREE
OR SO OVER OVER COASTAL AND SOME EASTERN SECTIONS OF CWFA FOR THIS
AFTERNOON. CURRENT MAVMOS MINS LOOK GOOD FOR TONIGHT. /32

&&

.LONG TERM...

MIDLEVEL RIDGING TO THE WEST IN THE WAKE OF TODAYS PASSING SYSTEM
WILL GRADUALLY BECOME ZONAL THEN SOUTHWESTERLY WEDNESDAY...WITH THE
LOW LEVEL RIDGE AXIS SLIPPING EAST OF THE FORECAST AREA WEDNESDAY
AFTERNOON.  WE MAINTAIN GENERALLY CLEAR SKIES INTO THURSDAY...THEN
WE BRING UP THE CLOUDCOVER AS THE MOISTURE RETURN ON THE BACKSIDE OF
THE LOW LEVEL RIDGE STARTS TO WORK IN FROM THE SOUTHWEST THURSDAY
NIGHT INTO FRIDAY MORNING.  WE MAINTAIN A CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS FRIDAY AS WE SEE SHORTWAVE ENERGY EJECTING OUT OF THE
SOUTHWEST AND THE NEXT COLD FRONT MOVES INTO THE LOWER MISSISSIPPI
RIVER VALLEY.  THE MAIN UPPER SYSTEM WITH THIS NEXT FRONT WILL PASS
FURTHER TO THE NORTHWEST AND WILL BE MUCH LESS AMPLITUDE-WISE
COMPARED TO TODAYS SYSTEM.  STILL...WE EXPECT THE FRONT TO MAKE IT
INTO OUR WESTERN ZONES SATURDAY MORNING AND STALL OUT OVER THE
NORTHERN GULF SUNDAY.  WE BASICALLY FOLLOWED SUIT WITH THE GFS
PINGING THE LIKELY POPS FRIDAY NIGHT...WITH A CHANCE SATURDAY AS THE
FRONT WORKS ACROSS THE SOUTHEASTERN ZONES.  THE GFS STILL WANTS TO
GENERATE LIGHT RAINS IN THE LAYER-LIFTING OVER THE STALLED FRONT
SUNDAY AND MONDAY...THEN IT WARM-SECTORS OUR REGION TUESDAY INTO
NEXT WEDNESDAY AS ANOTHER MIDLEVEL TROUGH AMPLIFIES AND TAKES SHAPE
OVER THE SOUTHERN PLAINS.

/05

.MARINE...

A STRONG SOUTH TO SOUTHWEST FLOW THIS MORNING WILL SHIFT WEST THEN
NORTHWEST DURING THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING HOURS. WIND GUSTS UP TO
40 KNOTS..MAINLY OVER THE OFFSHORE WATERS OUT 60 NM WILL LIKELY
OCCUR AFTER THE WINDSHIFT THIS AFTERNOON AND CONTINUE THROUGH ABOUT
MIDNIGHT TONIGHT. SEAS BUILDING TO 10 TO 12 FT WELL OFFSHORE CAN
ALSO BE EXPECTED AFTER THE WINDSHIFT. WINDS AND SEAS WILL BE HIGHER
NEAR SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS THUNDERSTORMS MOSTLY OUT AHEAD AND ALONG
THE FRONT EARLY TODAY. WINDS AND SEAS WILL SUBSIDE QUICKLY DURING
THE DAY ON WEDNESDAY AS HIGH PRESSURE REBUILDS FROM THE WEST.
SOUTHERLY WINDS AND SEAS WILL BUILD ON FRIDAY AS A WEAKER COLD FRONT
APPROACHES FROM THE WEST. THE FRONT IS EXPECTED TO MOVE ACROSS THE
MARINE AREA LATE FRIDAY NIGHT WITH NORTHERLY WINDS AND SEAS
SUBSIDING DURING THE DAY ON SAT. /32
