AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MOBILE AL
240 PM CDT FRI JUL 13 2007

.SHORT TERM (TONIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT)...LATEST SURFACE ANALYSIS
SHOWS A WEAK FRONT JUST NORTH OF THE CWA.  THIS WEAK FRONT/BOUNDARY
WILL REMAIN NEAR THE AREA FOR THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS AND SLOWLY
DISSIPATE LATE IN THE WEEKEND.  WILL LEAVE IN SCATTERED RW/TRW FOR
THIS EVENING AS EXPECT THUNDERSTORMS TO SLOWLY DISSIPATE.  WILL
LEAVE OUT OF THE ZONES BUT THERE MAY BE SOME PATCHY FOG LATE TONIGHT
IN AREAS THAT GET SOME RAINFALL THIS AFTERNOON AND/OR EVENING.  A
SERIES OF SHORT WAVES WILL MOVE THROUGH 500H WEST TO SOUTHWEST FLOW
AND PASS THROUGH THE CWA DURING THE WEEKEND.  THESE SHORT WAVES
ALONG WITH THE BOUNDARY NEAR US AND AFTERNOON HEATING EXPECT TO SEE
SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS SATURDAY AND
SUNDAY.  MOST OF THE PRECIPITATION WILL DISSIPATE DURING THE
NIGHTTIME HOURS OVER THE LAND AREAS AND REBUILD AGAIN DURING THE
DAY.  PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES REMAIN BETWEEN 1.8 AND 2 INCHES
ACROSS THE CWA THROUGH SUNDAY.  THIS WILL ALLOW SOME OF THE
THUNDERSTORMS THAT HAPPEN TO TRAIN OVER THE SAME AREAS TO PRODUCE
HEAVY RAINFALL.  THE INCREASE CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS OVER THE
WEEKEND WILL ALSO BRING AN INCREASING CHANCE OF LIGHTNING.  PEOPLE
PLANNING OUTDOOR EVENTS SHOULD BE AWARE OF THE DANGERS OF LIGHTNING
STRIKES...ESPECIALLY FOR EVENTS PLANNED DURING THE AFTERNOON AND
EVENING HOURS.  WITH THE HIGHER CHANCES FOR PRECIPITATION MORE CLOUD
COVER WILL OCCUR AND THIS WILL ALLOW DAYTIME TEMPS TO BE A LITTLE
COOLER OVER THE WEEKEND.

THIS AFTERNOONS WET MICROBURST RISK IS MODERATE

.LONG TERM (MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY)...HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD ACROSS
THE AREA MONDAY AND TUESDAY.  THIS WILL BRING A LITTLE DRIER AIR TO
THE AREA AND POP CHANCES WILL BE A LITTLE LOWER.  ANOTHER WEAK
SURFACE TROUGH WILL DEVELOP ACROSS THE AREA WEDNESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY
AND BRING BACK A TYPICAL SUMMERTIME PATTERN WITH AFTERNOON AND
EVENING RW/TRW.  TEMPERATURES WILL ALSO WARM BACK UP TO NORMAL
LEVELS IN THE EXTENDED. STUCK CLOSE TO GFS NUMBERS ON HIGH AND LOW
TEMPS.

&&

.MARINE...SURFACE RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE FROM EAST TO WEST ACROSS
THE NORTHERN GULF OF MEXICO WILL PERSIST TROUGH THE FIRST OF THE
WEEK. A WEAK STATIONARY FRONT JUST INLAND ACROSS THE DEEP SOUTH WILL
DISSIPATE WHILE MOVING LITTLE. WINDS GENERALLY ONSHORE EXCEPT FOR A
LIGHT NORTHERLY COMPONENT LATE NIGHT AND EARLY MORNINGS...ESPECIALLY
NEAR THE COAST. WAVE HEIGHTS REMAIN RATHER LOW...AROUND 1 TO 2 FEET
WITH MOSTLY SMOOTH CONDITIONS IN THE BAYS. WINDS AND WAVES/SEAS
HIGHER OF COURSE NEAR SCATTERED MAINLY LATE NIGHT AND EARLY MORNING
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...MOST AREAS SHOULD SEE SOME PRECIPITATION DURING THE
WEEKEND.  HUMIDITIES WILL REMAIN ABOVE CRITICAL VALUES AND WINDS
