AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MOBILE AL
401 PM CDT SUN JUL 1 2007

.SHORT TERM (TONIGHT AND MONDAY)...WE CONTINUE TO WATCH AN UPPER
LEVEL SHEAR AXIS/TROUGH THAT EXTENDS FROM EASTERN LOUISIANA SOUTHWEST
TO NEAR TAMPA. THAT IS SHIFTING VERY SLOWLY TO THE NORTHEAST WITH
MUCH OF OUR FORECAST AREA IN THE SUBSIDENT/NVA REGION TO THE
NORTHWEST OF THE MAIN UPPER CIRCULATION (CURRENTLY ABOUT 100 MILES
SOUTHWEST OF APPALACHICOLA FLORIDA). THE AREA MOST FAVORED
SYNOPTICALLY FOR SCATTERED-NUMEROUS CONVECTION NEXT FEW HOURS IS OVER
SOUTHEAST ALABAMA AND THE BIG BEND AREA OF FLORIDA...AND TO OUR WEST
ACROSS SOUTHERN TEXAS AND LOUISIANA IN THE DIFFLUENT ZONE EAST OF
ANOTHER/LARGER UPPER SHEAR AXIS THAT EXTENDS SOUTHWARD ACROSS
OKLAHOMA AND TEXAS. CLOSER TO THE MESOSCALE...WE ARE WATCHING THE
SEABREEZE JUST NORTH OF THE COAST MOVE SLOWLY INLAND. WE ARE SEEING
ISOLATED SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS FIRE ALONG THAT AT THIS HOUR ACROSS
THE FL PANHANDLE AND SE MISSISSIPPI. THE COVERAGES ALONG THE
SEABREEZE WILL INCREASE A BIT MORE THROUGH 23Z AND THEREFORE WE DIDNT
TOTALLY REMOVE POPS OVER SE MISSISSIPPI AND SW ALABAMA GIVEN SOME
ISOLATED TO SCATTERED SHOWERS/TSTMS WILL FIRE IN THE LATE AFTERNOON
ALONG THE SEABREEZE. WE ALSO SEE ANOTHER WEAK CIRCULATION ALONG THE
UPPER SHEAR ZONE JUST OFF THE LOUISIANA COAST THAT IS ALSO MOVING
SLOWLY NORTHEAST (ALSO SEEN IN THE NAM). WE WILL HAVE TO WATCH TO
MAKE SURE CONVECTION DOES NOT CONCENTRATE AHEAD OF THAT...BUT FOR NOW
IT WOULD SEEM THE NARROW SUBSIDENT REGION ACROSS OUR WESTERN ZONES
WILL HOLD A BIT LONGER. FOR MONDAY...THE SHEAR AXIS REMAINS PARKED IN
OUR AREA AND A WEAK QUASI-STATIONARY SURFACE BOUNDARY MOVES
SOUTHEAST INTO OUR INTERIOR ZONES. THAT BOUNDARY...AND THE WEAK UPPER
DYNAMICS (WEAK NWLY FLOW ALOFT) WILL SUPPORT MORE CONCENTRATED
CONVECTION OVER OUR AREA TOMORROW AFTERNOON. A FEW STRONG STORMS
CANNOT BE RULED OUT GIVEN SFC-FREEZING LEVEL LAPSE RATES GET STEEPER
WITH ABUNDANTLY SFC-700 MB MOISTURE IN PLACE. THE STORMS WILL ALSO BE
PROLIFIC LIGHTNING PRODUCERS. /05

THIS AFTERNOONS WET MICROBURST RISK IS MODERATE

.LONG TERM (TUESDAY THROUGH NEXT SUNDAY)...WE CONTINUED WITH LIKELY
POPS FOR TUESDAY GIVEN REMNANTS OF THE WEAK SFC BOUNDARY OVER OUR
NORTHEAST/EASTERN ZONES AND SEVERAL WEAK MIDLEVEL IMPULSES MOVING
ACROSS. FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE EXTENDED PERIOD...WE BASICALLY MADE
NO CHANGES AND HAVE NOTHING TO ADD TO THE PREVIOUS FORECAST.  /05

&&

.MARINE...WEAK HIGH PRESSURE CENTERED JUST SOUTH OF THE LOUISIANA
COAST WILL CONTINUE OVER THE NORTH CENTRAL GULF THROUGH EARLY
TUESDAY. A WEAK FRONTAL BOUNDARY APPROACHING FROM THE NORTH...ALONG
WITH UPPER LEVEL LOW PRESSURE DISTURBANCES MOVING OVER THE AREA...WILL
GENERATED INCREASED THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY THROUGH MID WEEK. /08

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...CHANCES OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS INCREASE INTO
THE LIKELY CATEGORY MOST AREAS MONDAY AND AGAIN ON TUESDAY. THE
STORMS WILL BE PROLIFIC LIGHTNING PRODUCERS...BUT IN CONTRAST TO PAST
COUPLE OF DAYS THE COVERAGES OF WETTING RAINS SHOULD ALSO INCREASE.
OTHERWISE...NO CONCERNS IN THE NEAR TERM. /05
