AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MOBILE AL
322 AM CDT THU SEP 4 2008

.SHORT TERM (TODAY AND TONIGHT)...UPPER AIR ANALYSIS ALONG WITH
WATER VAPOR IMAGERY THIS MORNING SHOW AN UPPER LEVEL TROF ADVANCING
EASTWARD ACROSS THE ROCKIES AND INTO THE CENTRAL AND NORTHERN HIGH
PLAINS. THE SOUTHWEST FLOW ALOFT AHEAD OF THIS TROF IS TAKING THE
REMAINS OF GUSTAV...OVER NORTHWEST ARKANSAS...NORTHEASTWARD. A VERY
SIMILAR FLOW AND SYNOPTIC SCALE SETUP FROM WHAT WE OBSERVED 24HRS
AGO WITH ISOLATED TO SCATTERED ACTIVITY COMING NORTHWEST OFF THE
GULF AND INTO THE COASTAL COUNTIES. FORECASTERS NOTE A REGION OF
HIGHER MOISTURE PERSISTING FROM THE MID SOUTH INTO THE GULF COAST
WHICH IS ALLOWING FOR THIS. IT APPEARS THIS MOISTURE AXIS WILL MAKE
A SLOW EASTWARD SHIFT INTO THE REGION AND BEGIN TO BE LEFT BEHIND AS
GUSTAVS REMNANTS CONTINUE LIFTING NORTHEAST. GIVEN THE MOISTURE
AXIS NEARBY AND WITH THE HELP OF DAYTIME HEATING...SCATTERED TO
NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND A FEW THUNDERSTORMS SHOULD HAVE NO PROBLEM
BREAKING OUT. THE HIGHER COVERAGES ARE ANTICIPATED TO BE OVER THE
WESTERN HALF OF THE AREA. DAYTIME RAIN AMOUNTS LOOK TO AVERAGE A
QUARTER TO HALF INCH FROM MAINLY ALONG AND WEST OF A LINE FROM
PENSACOLA FLORIDA TO WAYNESBORO MISSISSIPPI. LESS AMOUNTS
ANTICIPATED POINTS EAST. IT MUST BE SAID...ANY HIGHER REFLECTIVITIES
THAT FORM ON THE RADAR COULD EASILY DEPOSIT HIGHER RAIN AMOUNTS IN
LOCALIZED AREAS. DAYTIME HIGHS GENERALLY IN THE MID 80S AND LOWS
TONIGHT IN THE LOWER/MID 70S.

TROPICAL STORM HANNA...EAST OF THE CENTRAL BAHAMAS...IS FORECAST BY
THE NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER TO CONTINUE NORTHWEST WITH EVENTUAL
IMPACTS FELT ALONG THE SOUTHEAST COAST BEYOND THE SHORT TERM. HANNA
IS NO THREAT TO THE NORTHERN GULF COAST. /10

&&

.LONG TERM (FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY)...A 5-WAVE LONGWAVE TROF
REMAINS OVER THE CONUS THROUGH WEDNESDAY WITH TROPICAL SYSTEMS HANNA
AND IKE EXPECTED TO PASS NORTHWARD ALONG THE EAST COAST.  A FEW
SHORTWAVES MOVING THROUGH THE BASE OF THE UPPER TROF BRIEFLY CREATE
A SURFACE REFLECTION LOW OVER THE FORECAST AREA ON FRIDAY.  A DEEP
LAYER MOISTURE GRADIENT REMAINS OVER THE AREA DUE TO SUBSIDENCE FROM
HANNA OFF THE SOUTHEAST COAST...WHICH RESULTS IN HIGHER POPS OVER
THE WESTERN PORTION OF THE FORECAST AREA.  THE SHORTWAVE CONTINUES
EASTWARD ACROSS THE SOUTHEAST STATES THROUGH SUNDAY AS HANNA
CONTINUES NORTHWARD...WITH A SURFACE HIGH BUILDING FROM THE PLAINS
INTO THE REGION AND DEEP LAYER FLOW SWITCHING TO A NORTHERLY
DIRECTION BY SUNDAY.  POPS TREND DOWNWARDS MEANWHILE WITH CHANCE
ACROSS MUCH OF THE AREA ON SATURDAY THEN JUST A SMALL CHANCE NEAR
THE COAST ON SUNDAY DUE TO MODEST CONVERGENCE ALONG THE SEA BREEZE
BOUNDARY.  A LARGE SHORTWAVE SYSTEM MOVES THROUGH THE LONGWAVE
PATTERN AND ACROSS THE PLAINS TO QUEBEC THROUGH WEDNESDAY.  THE DEEP
LAYER NORTHERLY FLOW PERSISTS DURING MUCH OF THE REMAINDER OF THE
PERIOD WHICH ALLOWS FOR DRIER AIR TO GRADUALLY FILTER INTO THE
REGION.  WILL STAY WITH SMALL DAYTIME POPS AND DRY AT NIGHT AS
CONVERGENCE ALONG THE SEA BREEZE FRONT AND A SERIES OF SHORTWAVES
ALOFT SUPPORT ISOLATED DAYTIME CONVECTION.  TEMPERATURES WILL BE
NEAR SEASONABLE LEVELS THROUGH THE PERIOD...EXCEPT SLIGHTLY ABOVE
SEASONABLE ON SUNDAY AND MONDAY. /29

&&

AVIATION...12Z UPDATE)...MVFR CONDITIONS FOR BOTH CIGS/VSBYS APPEAR
TO BE THE MOST PROBABLE TODAY. STILL EXPECT A CANOPY OF CLOUDS
TONIGHT...BUT THESE APPEAR TO BE OF THE HIGH VARIETY MOST OF THE
AREA...MEETING VFR CRITERIA THEN. ALTHOUGH WILL CONSIDER PERSISTENCE
TOO...WITH POTENTIAL OF MVFR CONDITIONS AT TIMES FROM SHOWERS/TSTMS
THAT MOVE IN OFF THE GULF TONIGHT. /10

&&

.MARINE...MOVING INTO A PERIOD OF GENERALLY LIGHT WIND FLOW AS A
WEAK SURFACE TROF AXIS SLIPS SLOWLY EASTWARD AND STALLS ACROSS THE
GULF COAST THIS WEEKEND. THIS FEATURE KEEPS THE AIRMASS DISTURBED
WITH SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS AROUND. SEAS 3 TO 4 FEET HAVE BEEN
SLOW TO SUBSIDE SO FAR...BUT ANTICIPATED TO SETTLE DOWN TO 1 TO 2
FEET IN THE FORECAST GIVEN THE LIGHT FLOW. /10

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...NO CONCERNS. /29
