AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MOBILE AL
340 AM CDT FRI MAY 11 2007

.SHORT TERM...(TODAY THROUGH TONIGHT)...WILD CARD IN THE FIRST TWO
PERIODS OF THE FORECAST IS UPPER LOW MOVING FROM OVER EXTREME
SOUTHEAST TX TO OVER THE NORTH-CENTRAL GULF OF MEX. GUIDANCE IS
ADVERTISING THE OFFSHORE FLOW CURRENTLY UNDERWAY CONTINUING INTO
SATURDAY...LIMITING ANY DECENT LOW LEVEL MOISTURE INFLUX AHEAD OF
THIS SYSTEM. WHERE PRECIP WILL HAPPEN IS THE BIGGEST PROBLEM WITH
THIS SYSTEM. GUIDANCE IS ADVERTISING THE BEST CHANCE BEING SOUTHWEST
THIS AFTERNOON...TRANSITIONING TO NORTH TONIGHT...IN A BAND LIKE
FASHION. HAVE LITTLE INSIGHT...SO HAVENT STRAYED FROM GUIDANCE.

IN THE RECORD FRONT...DO NOT FEEL THAT MOBILES RECORD HIGH OF 95
WILL BE BROKEN. PENSACOLAS 90...THAT IS A DISTINCT
POSSIBILITY...WITH A FORECAST HIGH OF 89 FOR TODAY. /16

.LONG TERM...(SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY)WEAK H5 LOW WEAKENING AS IT
MOVES EAST ACROSS NORTHERN GULF OF MEXICO WILL PHASE SOMWWHAT WITH
ANOTHER UPPER TROUGH EXTENDING DOWN THE EAST COAST WITH RESULT BEING
A WEAK AREA OF SURFACE LOW PRESSURE OVER THE SOUTHEAST STATES.
ENOUGH PRECIPITABLE WATER...AROUND 1.50...ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA
THAT SOME THUNDERSTORMS SHOULD DEVELOP IN THE HEAT OF THE DAY ON
SATURDAY. AS THE EAST COAST UPPER TROUGH MOVES EAST...A SURFACE HIGH
PRESSURE WILL DROP DOWN THE FRONT SIDE OF THE TRAILING UPPER RIDGE
AND SEND ANOTHER BACK DOOR FRONT OUR WAY WITH DRIER AND COOLER AIR
FOR NEXT WEEK. AS THE SURFACE HIGH CONTINUES TO DROP SOUTH OFF THE
SOUTHEAST COAST OF THE UNITED STATES BY MID NEXT WEEK THE MOISTURE
GRADIENT WILL BE JUST ALONG AND ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA...SO WILL
EXPECT TO SEE ISOLATED TO SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS FROM
MONDAY AFTERNOON UNTIL THURSDAY...PRIMARILY AFTERNOON AND EVENING
AND MORE PREVALENT NEAR THE COAST WHERE THE SEA BREEZE WILL ENHANCE
THE LOW LEVEL CONVERGENCE. TEMPERATURES WARM TO HOT SATURDAY AND
SUNDAY WILL MODERATE INTO THE LOW AND MID 80S AFTER THE BACK DOOR
FRONT ARRIVES MONDAY MORNING OR THERE ABOUTS. /11

&&

.MARINE...UPPER LOW OVER EXTREME SOUTHEAST TX WILL MOVE SOUTHEAST TO
OVER THE NORTH-CENTRAL GULF OF MEX...THEN MEANDER AROUND AND WEAKEN
AS UPPER SYSTEM DIVES SOUTH OVER THE EASTERN CONUS...PUSHING A FRONT
ACROSS THE AREA SUNDAY. GENERAL OFFSHORE SYNOPTIC FLOW IS EXPECTED
THROUGH THE WEEKEND. A GULF BREEZE IS LIKELY SATURDAY...BEFORE THE
WEAK FRONT PASSES. HIGH PRESSURE WILL PUSH SOUTH OVER THE EAST
COAST...BRINGING A NORTHEAST TO EAST FLOW INTO MID WEEK. AS THE HIGH
MOVES SOUTH...A TIGHT GRADIENT WILL CREATE A MODERATE TO STRONG FLOW
INTO MID WEEK OVER NORTHEASTERN GULF COASTAL WATERS. /16

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...MAY SEE A FEW POCKETS OF HUMIDITY BELOW 35 PERCENT
TODAY BUT OVERALL THE TREND WILL BE MORE MOISTURE WITH LIGHT WINDS
TODAY. SATURDAY WILL SEE MORE OF A NORTHWEST WIND AS THE WEAK
SURFACE LOW TO THE EAST WILL AFFECT THE CIRCULATION OVER THE AREA
BUT THE NORTHWEST WIND WILL CARRY MORE MOISTURE THAN A POST FRONTAL
NORTHWEST WIND WOULD...PLUS EXPECT SCATTERED SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS ON SATURDAY. /11
