AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATE
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MOBILE AL
1037 AM CDT MON MAR 17 2008

.UPDATE (SHORT TERM)...GETTING FREQUENT GUSTS TO AROUND 25 MPH AND
HIGHER ALONG THE COASTAL COUNTIES AND ALSO IN SOUTH CENTRAL
ALABAMA.  AS MIXING CONTINUES TO TRANSPORT HIGHER MOMENTUM AIR DOWN
TO THE SURFACE...EXPECT FREQUENT GUSTS TO SATISFY WIND ADVISORY
CRITERIA FOR THE FORECAST AREA.  UPDATE OUT SOON. /29

&&

.SHORT TERM (TODAY AND TONIGHT)...UPPER RIDGE OVER THE EASTERN GULF
WILL CONTINUE TO SLIDE EAST TODAY AS THE BIG UPPER LOW OVER THE 4
CORNERS REGION DIGS SLOWLY SOUTHEAST TOWARDS WEST TEXAS. WE WILL SEE
A GRADUAL INCREASE IN MID AND HIGH LEVEL CLOUDS FROM THE WEST TODAY
AS THE UPPER RIDGE MOVES EAST AND THE UPPER FLOW GOES MORE
SOUTHWESTERLY. THE BIG DIFFERENCE TODAY WILL BE THE ONSET OF BREEZY
CONDITIONS AS THE LARGE SURFACE RIDGE COVERING THE ENTIRE EASTERN
SEABOARD MOVES OFFSHORE...SURFACE CYCLOGENESIS RAMPS UP OVER
TEXAS...AND THE PRESSURE GRADIENT STRENGTHENS OVER OUR AREA. KMOB VAD
WIND PROFILES ALREADY SHOWING 30-35 KT WINDS IN THE LOWEST 3 KFT...SO
WHEN THE INVERSION BREAKS THIS MORNING IT WILL GET RATHER BREEZY
TODAY. THE MOISTURE WILL INCREASE THROUGH TONIGHT AS THE BREEZY
SOUTHEASTERLY WINDS CONTINUE....BUT ANY FOCUS FOR SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS SHOULD REMAIN WEST OF OUR AREA THROUGH TONIGHT. /05

.LONG TERM (TUESDAY THROUGH NEXT MONDAY)...RETURN FLOW WILL CONTINUE
OVER THE FORECAST AREA TUESDAY AND TUESDAY NIGHT AHEAD OF CUT OFF LOW
AS IT MOVES ACROSS THE SOUTHERN PLAINS. THAT FEATURE WILL PROVIDE A
FEW PYROTECHNICS TUESDAY OVERNIGHT THEN MOVE NORTHEAST TOWARDS THE
OHIO VALLEY WEDNESDAY. WE WILL LIKELY HAVE TO CONSIDER A WIND
ADVISORY FOR THE ENTIRE FORECAST AREA ON TUESDAY. THE STEEPENING
SURFACE PRESSURE GRADIENT WILL BRING WINDS OF 25 TO 35 MPH.
CONTINUING TO MONITOR FOR NOW SINCE ONSET OF THESE CONDITIONS MUST BE
LESS THAN 24 HOURS OFF FOR AN ADVISORY.

MILD CONDITIONS CONTINUE THROUGH TUESDAY WITH SMALL POPS TUESDAY
INCREASING TO LIKELY TUESDAY NIGHT. BY THEN...MODELS INCLUDING
GFS... GEMS...ECMWF AND NAM ARE WELL SYNCHRONIZED HOW THEY PROPAGATE
THE SYSTEM TO THE NORTHEAST. LOW LATITUDE TROUGH EXTENDING FROM THE
LOWER RIO GRANDE VALLEY INTO THE LOWER MS VALLEY WILL MOVE THROUGH
HERE BY WEDNESDAY MORNING. A 100+ KT MIDLEVEL JET STREAK WILL COME
AROUND THE BOTTOM OF THE TROUGH BRINGING RAPID HEIGHT FALLS AND AS
THAT HAPPENS THE TILT OF THE TROUGH WILL BECOME MORE NEGATIVE
INCREASING MOMENTUM TRANSPORT SOUTHWARD.

SURFACE LOW OVER EAST TEXAS WILL DEEPEN WITH STRONG TRAILING COLD
FRONT PUSHING INTO THE LOWER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY THROUGH TUESDAY AND
THROUGH THE CWA TUESDAY NIGHT. THE EJECTING SYSTEM WILL BRING A
STRONG PREFRONTAL TROF INTO THE AREA WITH ATTENDANT SQUALL LINE.
850 MB JET OF 60 TO 70 KNOTS IS SHOWN WITH THE RIGHT ENTRANCE REGION
OF AN UPPER JET WELL PHASED. WITH 120-130 KT WINDS IN THIS JET MAX
STRONG DEEP LAYER FORCING WILL COOL DOWN MIDLEVELS AND WARMING LOW
LEVELS THUS DESTABILIZING THE LAYER. INCREASING LAPSE RATE ALOFT
WILL COINCIDE WITH A NOCTURNAL PASSAGE MEANS MID TO UPPER HUNDREDS
CAPE J/KG IN SURFACE OR ELEVATED...ESPECIALLY CONSIDERING THE
POSITIONS OF FEATURES LIKE THE WARM FRONT...AND WHATEVER THE SURFACE
LOW DECIDES ITS TRACK SHOULD BE. AS THESE CAN CHANGE...SO CAN THE
POTENTIAL FOR SEVERE CONVECTION. 0-3 KM HELICITY IS RATHER HIGH WITH
THE POSITIONS OF BOTH LOW LEVEL AND MIDLEVEL JETS. WE DECIDED TO PUT
POSSIBILITY OF SEVERE IN ZONES...POINT FORECASTS...AND GRIDS BASED
ON THIS RISK ASSESSMENT.

HIGH BUILDS INTO THE REGION BEHIND THE FRONT WITH A DRY FORECAST AND
MILD TEMPERATURES FOLLOWING THROUGH THE FIRST HALF OF EASTER WEEKEND.
ANOTHER LOW WILL APPROACH FROM THE PLAINS ON SUNDAY AND AFFECT CWA ON
EASTER SUNDAY WITH CHANCE POPS. POSITION TIMING AND INTENSITY OF
SYNOPTIC FEATURES SEEM TO HINT TOWARD VIGOROUS CONVECTION BUT IT IS
WAY TOO EARLY TO MENTION SEVERE WEATHER. /77

&&

.MARINE...LOW PRESSURE DEVELOPING OVER TEXAS TODAY WILL MOVE
NORTHEAST ACROSS THE TENNESSEE AND OHIO RIVER VALLEYS TUESDAY INTO
WEDNESDAY. A STRONG SOUTHEAST TO SOUTHERLY WIND WILL DEVELOP OVER
THE GULF COASTAL WATERS TODAY THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT IN RESPONSE TO
THE STRONG LOW PASSING TO THE NORTH. AS THE LOW PASSES TO THE
NORTH...A COLD FRONT WILL MOVE SOUTHEAST ACROSS THE GULF COASTAL
WATERS ON WEDNESDAY. A SQUALL LINE OF STRONG THUNDERSTORMS WILL
DEVELOP AHEAD OF THE FRONT ON TUESDAY...MOVING ACROSS THE GULF
COASTAL WATERS TUESDAY NIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY MORNING. SOME OF THESE
THUNDERSTORMS COULD BE STRONG TO SEVERE.

WE EXPECT TIDES 1-2 FT ABOVE NORMAL TUESDAY AND TUESDAY NIGHT.
USUALLY 3 FT POSITIVE TIDAL ANOMALIES CAUSE PROBLEMS SIGNIFICANT
ENOUGH TO NECESSITATE A COASTAL FLOOD WARNING...SO WE HELD OFF ON THE
COASTAL FLOOD WATCH FOR TUESDAY THIS MORNING. THE DAYSHIFT WILL RE-
EVALUATE THE SITUATION AND ISSUE ANY NECESSARY COASTAL FLOOD WATCHES
OR WARNINGS THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT. STAY TUNED FOR THAT.

ALSO...WITH THE INCREASING SOUTHEASTERLY WINDS...WE EXPECT A HIGH
RISK FOR DANGEROUS RIP CURRENTS IN THE SURF ZONE ALONG AREA BEACHES
TODAY...AND A HIGH RISK FOR RIP CURRENTS ON TUESDAY.  /05

THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR PORTIONS OF SOUTH CENTRAL
ALABAMA...SOUTHWEST ALABAMA...THE COASTAL WATERS OF ALABAMA AND
NORTHWEST FLORIDA...NORTHWEST FLORIDA AND SOUTHEAST MISSISSIPPI.

.DAY ONE...REST OF TODAY AND TONIGHT.

A STRONG PRESSURE GRADIENT WILL CREATE STRONG WINDS OVER THE AREA
TODAY INTO THIS EVENING. FREQUENT GUST ABOVE 30 MPH CAN BE EXPECTED
INLAND...ABOVE 35 MPH CLOSER TO THE COAST.

THERE IS A HIGH RISK OF DANGEROUS RIP CURRENTS IN THE SURF ZONE
ALONG AREA BEACHES TODAY. SOUTHEAST WINDS 15 TO 25 MPH WILL RESULT
IN ROUGH CONDITIONS IN THE SURF THROUGH TONIGHT.

THE INCREASING SOUTHEASTERLY WINDS TO 20 TO 25 KNOTS TODAY HAVE
RESULTED IN THE ISSUANCE OF SMALL CRAFT ADVISORIES FOR THE COASTAL
WATERS OF ALABAMA AND NORTHWEST FLORIDA THROUGH TONIGHT. SEAS OVER
THE GULF WATERS WILL GRADUALLY INCREASE TO AROUND 8 FEET THROUGH
LATE TONIGHT.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY.

STRONG SOUTHERLY WINDS AT 25 TO 35 MPH WILL AFFECT THE ENTIRE AREA
TUESDAY AND TUESDAY NIGHT. THESE STRONG SOUTHEASTERLY WINDS WILL
INCREASE MOISTURE ACROSS THE AREA AHEAD OF AN APPROACHING COLD
FRONT. A SQUALL LINE OF STRONG TO POTENTIALLY SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS
WILL DEVELOP AHEAD OF THE FRONT LATE TUESDAY...MOVING ACROSS
SOUTHEAST MISSISSIPPI AROUND MIDNIGHT TUESDAY NIGHT...AND ACROSS
SOUTH ALABAMA AND THE WESTERN FLORIDA PANHANDLE DURING THE EARLY
MORNING HOURS ON WEDNESDAY. THE PRIMARY HAZARD FROM ANY SEVERE
THUNDERSTORMS DEVELOPING ALONG AND AHEAD OF THE SQUALL LINE WILL
LIKELY BE DAMAGING WINDS...LARGE HAIL AND TORNADOES.

THE SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY WILL LIKELY CONTINUE THROUGH WEDNESDAY
EVENING AS THE STRONG SOUTHERLY WINDS TUESDAY NIGHT BECOME NORTHERLY
ON WEDNESDAY IN THE WAKE OF THE PASSING COLD FRONT.

DANGEROUS RIP CURRENTS WILL REMAIN LIKELY ALONG AREA BEACHES ON
TUESDAY AS WELL GIVEN THE INCREASING SOUTHERLY WINDS.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

ACTIVATION OF STORM SPOTTERS AND EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT FOR SEVERE
WEATHER OPERATIONS MAY BE REQUIRED TUESDAY NIGHT AND EARLY ON
WEDNESDAY.
