Area forecast discussion, May 6, 5:49 AM CDT, 9 hours 7 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MOBILE AL 549 AM CDT WED MAY 6 2009 .SHORT TERM TODAY AND TONIGHT...A LARGE MCS OVER SOUTHERN ARKANSAS AND NORTHERN MISSISSIPPI SHOULD SLOWLY DECREASE DURING THE MID MORNING HOURS TODAY. THIS COMPLEX WILL MOVE SOUTHEAST AND CREATE AN OUTFLOW BOUNDARY LATE THIS MORNING AND EARLY THIS AFTERNOON. THIS BOUNDARY WILL BE THE FOCUS FOR SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TO DEVELOP THIS AFTERNOON. IT APPEARS THE BOUNDARY WILL SET UP OVER THE FAR NORTHERN ZONES...MAINLY WELL NORTH OF HWY 84. WILL ALSO BE A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS IN OUR NORTHERN ZONES AS WELL. WENT ABOVE MAV GUIDANCE FOR POPS (CLOSER TO THE MET NUMBERS) FOR THE INTERIOR ZONES SINCE IT WILL BE IN THE VICINITY OF THE BOUNDARY...BETTER INSTABILITY...AND THE HIGHER PW VALUES. ALSO WITH INCREASE CLOUD COVER AND INCREASED CONVECTION...HAVE LOWERED MAX TEMPERATURES TODAY. WENT WITH MAV GUIDANCE FOR MAX TEMPS AND POPS IN THE COASTAL ZONES DUE TO LESS CLOUDS AND CONVECTION EXPECTED. HAVE INCREASED POPS TONIGHT AREA WIDE BUT HIGHER OVER THE INTERIOR ZONES...FOR ANY LINGERING EVENING STORMS AND AS THE BOUNDARY SAGGING SOUTH TOWARDS THE COAST LATE TONIGHT/EARLY THURSDAY MORNING. POPS MAY HAVE TO BE FURTHER INCREASED LATE NIGHT AS ANOTHER MCS MAY DEVELOP THIS EVENING TO OUR NORTHWEST AND MOVE SOUTHEAST OVERNIGHT TONIGHT THROUGH OUR NORTHWEST ZONES. WILL LET THE DAY SHIFT FINE TUNE. /04 .LONG TERM THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY...WHAT EVOLVES IN THE MESOSCALE... ALONG WITH DEGREES OF UNCERTAINTIES REGARDING SUCH...WILL KEEP THE FORECAST INTERESTING AS WE START THE MEDIUM RANGE WITH REGARD TO THE PLACEMENT/TIMING OF WET WEATHER.

WITH PRECIPITABLE WATERS >1.5 INCHES BEING ADEQUATE ALONG WITH A DESTABILIZING AIRMASS...PRESENCE OF MESOSCALE BOUNDARIES SUPPORTS CONVECTIVE INITIATION AND A POTENTIALLY ACTIVE DAY ON THU. THERE IS A POTENTIAL OF SOME SEVERE STORMS AS WELL. CONSIDERING MOISTURE/LIFT AND INSTABILITY...THE OFFICIAL FORECAST WILL LEAN CLOSER TO THE MET MOS POP GUIDANCE FOR THU. THE INITIAL FRONTAL ZONE OVER THE MID SOUTH LOOKS TO WASHOUT IN THE SYNOPTIC SCALE SOUTHERLY FLOW LATE IN THE WEEK...BEING REPLACED WITH YET ANOTHER FRONTAL ZONE THAT BECOMES ALIGNED FROM THE MID ATLANTIC INTO NORTHEAST TEXAS SAT/SUN. AS THE ONE WE CURRENTLY HAVE TO OUR NORTH...THIS NEXT FRONT LOOKS TO HAVE A SIMILAR BEHAVIOR...BEING A FOCUS FOR CONVECTIVE SYSTEMS RIDING EASTWARD ACROSS THE MID SOUTH THIS WEEKEND. WILL LIKELY BE SEEING MORE INFLUENCE OVER THE FORECAST AREA THIS WEEKEND FROM SOUTHEASTWARD PROPAGATING RAIN COOLED...MESOSCALE BOUNDARIES THAT ARE DEPOSITED BY STORMS ROLLING EASTWARD ACROSS THE SOUTHERN STATES. THESE BOUNDARIES CAN PROVIDE A FOCUS FOR TSTMS DURING THE HEAT OF THE DAY. WENT WITH THE EXTENDED RANGE MOS GUIDANCE POPS SAT-MON AS WE CANNOT GET OVERLY SPECIFIC ON HOW THE MESOSCALE PLAYS OUT THIS FAR OUT. WILL CONTINUE WITH A SMALL CHANCE OF TSTMS TUE. AS FAR AS TEMPERATURES...MID/UPPER 60S ON AVERAGE FOR LOWS AND HIGHS IN THE MID/UPPER 80S. CANNOT RULE OUT A FEW AREAS SEEING DAILY HIGHS BREAKING THE 90 DEGREE MARK. SUMMER IS HERE. /10 && .AVIATION...A LIGHT TO MODERATE SOUTHERLY SURFACE WIND WILL CONTINUE ACROSS THE AREA THROUGH EARLY THURSDAY. MVFR AND IFR CONDITIONS EXPECTED THROUGH 14Z TODAY FOR PATCHY FOG AND LOW CEILINGS. VFR CONDITIONS SHOULD PREVAIL AROUND 15Z.

THIS CONVECTION SHOULD REMAIN NORTH OF THE TAF SITES THROUGH 12Z THURSDAY. /04 && .MARINE...SOUTH TO SOUTHWEST WINDS WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE WEEKEND AS HIGH PRESSURE REMAINS CENTERED OFF THE MID ATLANTIC COAST.

A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE WEATHER TODAY IS POSSIBLE GENERALLY NORTHWEST OF INTERSTATE 65 AND NORTH OF THE COAST. A MODERATE ONSHORE WIND WILL CREATE HAZARDOUS CONDITIONS FOR SMALL MARINE CRAFT TODAY...AS WELL AS BRING AN INCREASED RISK OF RIP CURRENTS ALONG AREA BEACHES.

ANOTHER ROUND OF THUNDERSTORMS COULD APPROACH THE INTERIOR OF SOUTHEAST MISSISSIPPI AND SOUTHWEST ALABAMA LATER TONIGHT. THE RISK OF SEVERE WEATHER IS LOW. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY. ISOLATED TO SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE POSSIBLE THROUGH THE PERIOD. AT THIS TIME...THE OVERALL RISK FOR SEVERE WEATHER IS LOW BUT STILL CAN OCCUR...ON AN ISOLATED BASIS. .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT... ACTIVATION OF EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT AND STORM SPOTTERS FOR SEVERE WEATHER MAY BE REQUIRED TODAY.
