.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 340 PM CDT SAT AUG 1 2009/ 

SHORT TERM...
TRAILING PORTION OF COLD FRONT CONTINUES TO MOVE SOUTH THIS 
AFTERNOON...AND HAS REACHED AN OKLAHOMA CITY TO LUBBOCK LINE AT 
2 PM. THIS BOUNDARY WILL SAG SOUTH INTO THE BIG COUNTRY THIS EVENING
BEFORE STALLING TONIGHT. OUT AHEAD OF THIS FRONT...SHOWERS AND 
THUNDERSTORMS ARE DEVELOPING ALONG A BOUNDARY EXTENDING FROM
SOUTHERN BROWN COUNTY TO NEAR IRAAN. ANOTHER SURFACE BOUNDARY 
EVIDENT ACROSS THE INTERSTATE 20 COUNTIES IN THE SOUTHERN BIG
COUNTRY...AND SCATTERED CONVECTION IS DEVELOPING ALONG THIS
BOUNDARY AS WELL. THE HIGHEST POPS IN THE SHORT TERM ARE THIS
AFTERNOON UP TO 00Z...AND MAY MAKE LAST MINUTE ADJUSTMENTS BEFORE
THE FORECAST PACKAGE IS ISSUED. RAIN CHANCES DROP OFF LATER THIS 
EVENING WITH COOLING OF THE BOUNDARY LAYER.  THE NAM BRINGS A 
DISTURBANCE ALOFT INTO OUR SOUTHERN COUNTIES OVERNIGHT...AND THIS 
MAY BE A PREFERRED AREA FOR CONVECTIVE DEVELOPMENT LATER TONIGHT. 
WITH UNCERTAINTY ON HOW THIS WILL PLAY OUT HOWEVER...BEING 
CONSERVATIVE WITH POPS IN THE 20 PERCENT RANGE TONIGHT. HAVE A 
LINGERING SLIGHT CHANCE POP FOR SUNDAY ACROSS OUR SOUTHERN 
COUNTIES...WHERE MOISTURE AXIS WILL LINGER. SOME LOW CLOUD 
DEVELOPMENT IS EXPECTED OVERNIGHT IN MOISTENING BOUNDARY LAYER. WITH 
SOME MORNING CLOUDINESS EXPECTED SUNDAY AND WITH A FAIRLY MOIST 
GROUND AND EVAPOTRANSPIRATIVE EFFECTS...CARRYING HIGHS NEAR OR JUST 
UNDER THE LOW SIDE OF GUIDANCE. 

LONG TERM...
MODELS AGREE THAT THE UPPER RIDGE WILL BUILD BACK INTO THE AREA BY
LATE SUNDAY...OR MOST CERTAINLY BY MONDAY. GIVEN THE WET
GROUND AND THE FACT THAT THE RIDGE DOES NOT GET CENTERED DIRECTLY
OVER THE AREA...WOULD NOT BE SURPRISED TO SEE AN ISOLATED
THUNDERSTORM AT SOME POINTS NEXT WEEK. BUT COVERAGE NOT WORTH
MENTIONING AT THIS POINT. WILL CONTINUE THE DRY FORECAST...WITH
TEMPERATURES CLIMBING. FOR THE MOST PART...WILL KEEP HIGHS AT OR
BELOW THE 100 DEGREE MARK.

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MOBILE AL
400 PM CDT SAT AUG 1 2009

.SHORT TERM [TONIGHT THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT]...LARGE UPPER LONGWAVE
TROUGH OVER THE CENTRAL/EASTERN CONUS WILL LIFT SLIGHTLY TO THE
NORTH THROUGH THE SHORT TERM AS UPPER HIGH ATTEMPTS TO REBUILD OVER
THE SOUTHERN PLAINS. STRONG/PERSISTENT SURFACE RIDGE EXTENDING FROM
THE WESTERN ATLANTIC ACROSS THE NORTHERN GULF OF MEXICO WILL REMAIN
IN PLACE.

NOT MUCH CHANGE TO THE OVERALL PATTERN MEANS A CONTINUATION OF
SCATTERED/NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS THROUGH MONDAY...WITH
PERIODS OF VERY HEAVY RAIN...FREQUENT LIGHTING...AND GUSTY WINDS UP
TO 45 MPH ON THE MENU. DAYTIME HIGH TEMPERATURES WILL BE NEAR OR
SLIGHTLY BELOW NORMAL DEPENDING ON THE ONSET/AMOUNT OF RAIN EACH
AREA RECEIVES. OVERNIGHT LOWS WILL BE SLIGHTLY ABOVE NORMAL DUE TO
HIGH MOISTURE CONTENT IN THE LOW LEVELS. SURFACE HUMIDITY WILL
REMAIN ABOVE 55 PERCENT IN THE AFTERNOONS...WITH NEAR SATURATION
OCCURRING AT NIGHT. /22

.LONG TERM [TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY]...SURFACE RIDGE THAT HAS BEEN
SOUTH OF THE REGION OUT OVER THE GULF BUILDS NORTH OVER THE
SOUTHEASTERN STATES THROUGH THE LONG TERM PERIOD...WHILE THE UPPER
TROF THAT HAS PERSISTED OVER THE EASTERN HALF OF THE COUNTRY FLATTENS
OUT A BIT AS MID/UPPER LEVEL RIDGE BUILDS OUT OVER THE FOUR CORNERS
REGION. WHILE LOLVL ATMOSPHERIC MOISTURE WILL REMAIN HIGH...THESE
CHANGES WILL BRING A RETURN TO A MORE TYPICAL SCATTERED DIURNAL PCPN
PATTERN WITH LOW END CHANCE POPS DURING THE DAY AND SLIGHT CHANCE AT
BEST OVERNIGHT. TEMPERATURES WILL CONTINUE AROUND NORMAL FOR THIS
TIME OF THE YEAR. /12

&&

.MARINE...HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE NORTH CENTRAL GULF COMBINED WITH A
SERIES OF UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCES TRACKING EASTWARD OVER NORTHERN
SECTIONS OF MISSISSIPPI AND ALABAMA THROUGH MUCH OF THE WEEK WILL
HELP MAINTAIN A LIGHT TO MODERATE WEST TO SOUTHWEST FLOW OVER THE
MARINE AREA THROUGH THE FORECAST PERIOD. WINDS AND SEAS WILL BE
HIGHER NEAR SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS THROUGH MUCH OF THE WEEK.
/32

&&

.AVIATION [18Z ISSUANCE]...BRIEF PERIODS OF MVFR/IFR/LIFR CONDITIONS
FOR CIGS/VSBYS EXPECTED IN AND AROUND SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS SHOWERS

GENERALLY VFR CONDITIONS EXPECTED FROM LATE EVENING AND OVERNIGHT.
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED TO DEVELOP AGAIN BY MID TO
LATE MORNING ON SUNDAY...WHICH MAY AGAIN CAUSE BRIEF PERIODS OF MVFR
OR IFR CONDITIONS. /04

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE TO IMPACT THE
FIRE WEATHER FORECAST AREA THE NEXT FEW DAYS. SOME PLACES WILL SEE
SOME HEAVY RAIN. SURFACE HUMIDITY WILL REMAIN GENERALLY 55 PERCENT
