Area forecast discussion, Oct 25, 3:50 PM CDT, 11 hours 34 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MOBILE AL
350 PM CDT SAT OCT 25 2008

.SHORT TERM TONIGHT THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT...UPPER LONGWAVE TROUGH
OVER THE EASTERN CONUS WILL DIG SOUTHWARD THROUGH THE SHORT TERM.
THIS WILL BRING A STRONG/DEEP NORTHWEST FLOW OVER THE FORECAST AREA
WITH NEARLY CLOUDLESS SKIES AND COOLER TEMPERATURES. SURFACE HIGH
PRESSURE CENTERED OVER THE LOWER MISSISSIPPI RIVER AREA WILL MOVE
SOUTH INTO THE NORTHERN GULF OF MEXICO ON SUNDAY AS ANOTHER STRONG
COLD FRONT APPROACHES FROM THE NORTH. AT THIS TIME...THE COLD FRONT
WILL SWEEP THROUGH THE AREA MONDAY MORNING.

TEMPERATURES TONIGHT AND SUNDAY NIGHT ALONG THE COASTAL SECTIONS
WILL BE CLOSE TO LAST NIGHTS READINGS (UPPER 40S TO MID 50S)...BUT
COOLER INLAND (LOWER 40S). EXPECT PATCHY FOG AGAIN TONIGHT...BUT
WILL HOLD OFF MENTION OF DENSE FOG IN ZONES FOR NOW. VERY PLEASANT
SUNDAY WITH MILD TEMPS IN THE MID 70S. AS INDICATED ABOVE COLD FRONT
WILL MOVE THROUGH EARLY MONDAY...AND COLD AIR ADVECTION WILL HELP
OFFSET DAYTIME SURFACE HEATING. SO HIGH TEMPS MONDAY SHOULD RANGE
FROM THE MID 60S INLAND TO LOWERS 70S ALONG THE COASTAL SECTIONS.

COOLEST TEMPERATURES WILL OCCUR MONDAY NIGHT...WITH READINGS IN THE
MID TO UPPER 30S NORTH OF I-10...AND LOWER 40S SOUTH OF I-10. DUE TO
ADEQUATE MOISTURE IN THE GROUND...AND SURFACE TEMPERATURES DROPPING
TO AROUND FREEZING...AREAS OF FROST WILL BE POSSIBLE MONDAY NIGHT IN
FROST PRONE AND OTHER LOW-LYING AREAS. /22

.LONG TERM TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY...THE DRY CONDITIONS WILL
CONTINUE THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE FORECAST. THE COOLEST HIGH
TEMPERATURES THROUGH THE PERIOD WILL OCCUR ON TUESDAY WITH READINGS
BETWEEN 60 AND 65 DEGREES (ABOUT 9 TO 12 DEGREES BELOW NORMAL). LOWS
TUESDAY NIGHT WILL FALL BACK INTO THE MID 30S TO LOWER 40S...WITH
PATCHY FROST POSSIBLE INLAND AREAS. MID 40S ALONG THE BEACHES.
TEMPERATURES WILL MODERATE THROUGH MIDWEEK...AND LEVEL OFF NEAR
NORMAL FRIDAY AND SATURDAY. /22

&&

.MARINE...WINDS AND SEAS WILL CONTINUE TO DECREASE ACROSS THE MARINE
AREA TONIGHT AND SUNDAY AS HIGH PRESSURE SETTLES IN ACROSS THE
NORTHERN GULF. A STRONG COLD FRONT WILL APPROACH THE AREA ON MONDAY.
THIS WILL RESULT IN AN INCREASED NORTHERLY WIND FLOW ALONG WITH
HIGHER SEAS MONDAY INTO TUESDAY OVER THE MARINE AREA. A SMALL CRAFT
ADVISORY WILL LIKELY BE REQUIRED ON MONDAY AND CONTINUING THROUGH
TUESDAY. HIGH PRESSURE SETTLES IN ACROSS THE NORTH CENTRAL GULF
COAST BY MIDWEEK. THE PRESSURE GRADIENT WILL WEAKEN AND ALLOW WINDS
AND SEAS TO SLOWLY DECREASE BY LATE WEDNESDAY. /04

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...DRIER AND COOLER AIR WILL CONTINUE TO FLOW INTO THE
AREA AS HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS IN FROM THE NORTHWEST. AFTERNOON
RELATIVE HUMIDITIES MAY DROP BELOW CRITICAL LEVELS EACH AFTERNOON
THROUGH TUESDAY. FOR NOW...A FIRE WEATHER WATCH IN EFFECT BOTH
SUNDAY AND MONDAY AFTERNOONS FOR THE NORTHWEST FLORIDA PANHANDLE DUE
TO THE POTENTIAL OF LONG DURATIONS OF LOW RELATIVE HUMIDITY BELOW 35
PERCENT. /22
