Area forecast discussion, Apr 13, 5:01 AM CDT, 9 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MOBILE AL
501 AM CDT MON APR 13 2009

.SHORT TERM...(TODAY THROUGH TONIGHT)A LARGE BAND OF SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS CONTINUE TO MOVE SLOWLY TO THE EAST AT AROUND 20
MPH...WITH A FEW EMBEDDED STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS MOVING
NORTHEAST AT 40 TO 50 MPH. A TORNADO WATCH #148 REMAINS IN EFFECT
FOR MOST OF THE COUNTY WARNING AREA THIS MORNING UNTIL 10:00 AM.
THIS SLOW MOVING LINE OF SHOWERS AND STORMS HAS A HISTORY OF
PRODUCING 4 TO 7 INCHES OF RAIN OVERNIGHT AS IT MOVED THROUGH AREAS
OF SOUTHEAST MISSISSIPPI AND SOUTHWEST ALABAMA. THIS LINE WILL
CONTINUE MOVING EASTWARD THROUGHOUT THE DAY WITH LIKELY TO
CATEGORICAL POPS SHIFTING EAST OF I-65. WENT A FEW DEGREES BELOW
GUIDANCE DUE TO CLOUDY SKIES THROUGHOUT THE DAY AND RAIN-COOLED AIR
MASS IN PLACE. 70+ POPS THIS EVENING WILL BE SOUTHEAST OF THE LINE
FROM ANDALUSIA TO ORANGE BEACH AL...WITH THE PRECIPITATION TAPERING
OFF TO ISOLATED ACROSS OUR WESTERN ZONES. SKIES WILL ALSO BEGIN TO
CLEAR FROM WEST TO EAST AFTER MIDNIGHT. /22

FOR TUESDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY...AS A LOBE OF ENERGY SWINGS AROUND THE
BASE OF THE UPPER LOW OVER THE WESTERN OHIO RIVER VALLEY...THE FRONT
WHICH PASSED MONDAY NIGHT IS MOVED SOUTHEAST OF THE AREA...WITH A
DRIER AIRMASS MOVING OVER THE AREA. GFS MOS IS MAINTAINING A SMALL
CHANCE OF PRECIP AFTER 12Z TUESDAY...WHILST THE NAM HAS IT EAST OF THE
FA. LOOKING AT THE GFS QPF...THE 0.01 ISOPLETH IS WELL EAST OF THE
FA...SO HAVE LEANED TOWARDS THE NAMS MET MOS FOR THE MORNING PRECIP
TUESDAY MORN.

THE REST OF THE SHORT TERM IS DRY WITH SKIES CLEARING TUESDAY AS
SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE PLAINS MEANDERS SLOWLY EASTWARD...TO
OVER THE MISS RIVER VALLEY BY WEDNESDAY MORN. REASON FOR THE SLOW
MOVEMENT IS THE SLOW EASTWARD PROGRESSION OF THE UPPER RIDGE OVER THE
PLAINS...AS AN UPPER SYSTEM ORGANIZES OVER THE NORTHWESTERN CONUS AND
SLIDES SOUTH ALONG THE EAST COAST TUESDAY INTO WEDNESDAY.

.LONG TERM...(WEDNESDAY NIGHT ON)AS THE WESTERN SYSTEM BEGINS TO
MEANDER EASTWARD LATE WEDNESDAY INTO WEDNESDAY NIGHT...UPPER AND LOW
LEVEL HIGH PRESSURE WORKS ITS WAY SLOWLY EAST. LOW LEVEL FLOW OFF THE
GULF SETS UP OVER THE SOUTHERN PLAINS WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH
THURSDAY...WITH GFS ADVERTISING SHOWERS OF SOME DECENT SIGNIFICANCE
APPROACHING WESTERN BORDER OF THE FA FRIDAY NIGHT INTO SATURDAY AS
SOME ENERGY SWINGS AROUND THE SOUTH SIDE OF THE NOW WESTERN CENTRAL
PLAINS UPPER LOW. ECMWF IS A BIT MORE EASTWARD WITH THE QPF THIS
FIRST ROUND. SO IS THE ENSEMBLE MEAN...SO HAVE SPREAD PRECIP INTO
WESTERN ZONES FRIDAY INTO FRIDAY NIGHT.

AS THE MAIN DYNAMICS FROM THE UPPER LOW MOVE TOWARDS THE FA SATURDAY
INTO SATURDAY NIGHT...ANOTHER ROUND OF PRECIP IS EXPECTED LATER
SATURDAY THROUGH SUNDAY AHEAD OF A FRONT EXPECTED TO MOVE ACROSS THE
FA SUNDAY NIGHT. GUIDANCE IS ADVERTISING SOME WRAP-AROUND PRECIP OVER
THE NORTHERN HALF OF THE FA AFTER THE FRONTAL PASSAGE...SO HAVE
CONTINUED THE PRECIP INTO THE COMING WEEK.

&&

.AVIATION...IFR CEILING CONDITIONS EXPECTED THROUGH
MOST OF THE DAY...WITH A FEW STRONG THUNDERSTORMS WITH GUSTY WINDS
AND HEAVY RAIN OCCURRING NEAR OR OVER THE TAF SITES. THE
PRECIPITATION AND CLOUDS WILL CLEAR THE AREA FROM WEST TO
EAST...MAINLY AFTER MIDNIGHT. A MODERATE SOUTH SURFACE WIND WILL
BECOME MOSTLY NORTHWEST BY LATE TONIGHT. /22

&&

.MARINE...A WARM FRONT WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE NORTH OF THE COASTAL
WATERS TODAY WITH STRONG SOUTHERLY WINDS AROUND 20 KNOTS EXPECTED
THROUGHOUT THE DAY. SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL INCREASE OVER THE
MARINE AREA TODAY...WITH SOME THUNDERSTORMS BECOMING STRONG WITH
WIND GUSTS IN EXCESS OF GALE FORCE. A COLD FRONT WILL APPROACH THE
COASTAL WATERS FROM THE NORTHWEST THIS EVENING AND THE MOVE ACROSS
THE COASTAL WATERS AFTER MIDNIGHT. WINDS BECOME NORTHWESTERLY BEHIND
THE FRONT LATE TONIGHT AND DIMINISH SLIGHTLY DURING THE DAY ON
MONDAY BEFORE INCREASING AGAIN MONDAY EVENING THROUGH EARLY TUESDAY
MORNING. THE SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY HAS BEEN EXTENDED UNTIL 10:00 AM
TUESDAY. THE STRONG NORTHWESTERLY WILL SUBSIDE TUESDAY AS HIGH
PRESSURE BUILDS INTO THE REGION. WINDS BECOME EASTERLY ON THURSDAY
AND INCREASE THROUGH FRIDAY AS A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM ADVANCES ACROSS
THE PLAINS. /22

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...DRIER AND SLIGHTLY COOLER AIR WILL MOVE OVER THE AREA
BEHIND A FRONT EXPECTED TO MOVE ACROSS THE FA MONDAY NIGHT INTO
TUESDAY. RH LEVELS IN THE CURRENT PACKAGE APPEAR TO BE LOW ENOUGH TO
WARRANT A WATCH FOR FL ZONES FOR TUESDAY AFTERNOON...SO WILL BE
ISSUING ONE. THE REST OF THE WEEK WILL SEE SEASONABLY WARM
TEMPS...WITH THE NORTHERLY LOW LEVEL FLOW SLOWLY TRANSITIONING TO
SOUTHEASTERLY BY FRIDAY. NEXT ROUND OF PRECIP IS EXPECTED TO MOVE
OVER THE AREA LATER IN THE COMING WEEKEND INTO THE COMING WEEK.
