NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MOBILE AL
540 PM CDT SUN APR 5 2009
.UPDATE...UPDATED ZONES AND GRIDS HAVE BEEN SENT TO ACCOUNT FOR
NEWLY ISSUED TORNADO WATCH NUMBER 118 THAT IS IN EFFECT FOR THE
EASTERN HALF OF OUR ALABAMA COUNTIES UNTIL 1 AM. THE GREATEST LOW
LVL SHEAR CONTINUES TO MOVE EAST AND OUT OF OUR COUNTIES THUS THE
GREATEST THREAT WILL LIKELY BE LARGE HAIL...DUE TO LOW WET BULB
ZERO LEVELS AND DAMAGING WIND GUSTS. AN ISOLATED TORNADO CANNOT BE
RULED OUT PARTICULARLY IN NORTHEASTERN PARTS OF THE AREA WHERE THE
BETTER SHEAR OVERLAPS THE GREATEST SURFACE BASED INSTABILITY. 13/JC
.................PREVIOUS DISCUSSION.......................
.SHORT TERM...(TONIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT)SHOWERS...GENERALLY
SMALL ELEMENTS...HAVE BEEN DEVELOPING AND DISSIPATING MOSTLY EAST OF
INTERSTATE 65 ALL AFTERNOON. FORECAST SOUNDINGS SHOW A FAIRLY DEEP
LAYER OF DRY AIR(8H TO 4H) OVER THE AREA WHICH IS KEEPING THE
CONVECTION FROM GETTING BALLISTIC. SPC HAS MOVED THE SLIGHT RISK TO
THE EASTERN EDGES OF FORECAST AREA FOR LATE AFTERNOON AND EVENING.
WITH COLD FRONT AND DRIER SURFACE AIR NOT EXPECTED TO ARRIVE IN THE
MOBILE AREA UNTIL AROUND 9 PM...THERE WILL CONTINUE TO BE A SLIGHT
CHANCE FOR SHOWERS AND POSSIBLY THUNDERSTORMS. AS THE FRONT DRAWS
CLOSER THE INCREASED LIFT MIGHT JUST BE ENOUGH TO FIRE UP A STRONG
OR SEVERE STORM LATE AFTERNOON OR EARLY EVENING...SOMEWHERE....MORE
LIKELY TO THE EAST OF I-65. CHANCE OF RAIN ENDS OVERNIGHT WITH
COLDER AND DRIER AIR ARRIVING. MAY NEED A WIND ADVISORY FOR MONDAY
AS MODERATE TO STRONG NORTHWEST WINDS BRING IN THE COLD AIR. FREEZE
WATCH CONTINUES FOR MONDAY NIGHT AS GUIDANCE REMAINS FAIRLY
CONSISTENT IN ITS FORECAST LOWS. WILL LIKELY BE TOO DRY AND JUST
ENOUGH WIND FOR WIDE SPREAD FROST DEVELOPMENT. AFTER A COLD(FOR THIS
TIME OF YEAR) TUESDAY AFTERNOON...EXPECT ANOTHER POSSIBLE FREEZE
OVER THE INLAND AREAS ON TUESDAY NIGHT...GOOD CHANCE OF FROST AS
HUMIDITY WILL BE UP AND WINDS NEAR CALM. EXPECT ADDITIONAL FREEZE
WATCHES OR WARNINGS TO BE ISSUED BY LATER SHIFTS. /11
.LONG TERM...(WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY) MADE NO SIGNIFICANT CHANGES
TO THE LONG TERM. FORECAST HAS NEXT CHANCE OF RAIN THURSDAY NIGHT
BUT IT LOOKS LIKE IT MAY BE PUSHED BACK ABOUT 24 HOURS. /11
&&
.MARINE...ONSHORE FLOW WILL STRENGTHEN TO MODERATE INTO TONIGHT AS
THE FIRST OF SEVERAL UPPER SYSTEMS PASSES NORTH OF THE AREA. THIS
SYSTEM WILL PUSH A FRONT ACROSS THE AREA TONIGHT...WITH STRONG
OFFSHORE FLOW FOLLOWING. GUIDANCE IS BUMPING GALES WITH THE WINDS.
HAVE LIMITED THE SPEED AND WILL MENTION GUSTS TO NEAR GALE FORCE IN
THE PRODUCT AS FEEL THESE SPEED ARE A BIT OVERDONE ATTM. THIS STRONG
OFFSHORE FLOW WILL LAST INTO WEDNESDAY AS SEVERAL UPPER DISTURBANCES
PASSES OVER THE AREA...THEN SETTLE AS IT SWITCHES TO ONSHORE AS
SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE MOVES OVER THE AREA. ANOTHER FRONT WILL CROSS
THE AREA LATE THURSDAY NIGHT. ONSHORE FLOW WILL INCREASE AHEAD
BEGINNING THURSDAY...AND STRONG OFFSHORE FLOW FOLLOWING. FLOW WILL
SETTLE SOMEWHAT FRIDAY INTO THE COMING WEEKEND. /16
&&
.FIRE WEATHER...A BREEZY NORTHWEST WIND ON MONDAY WILL SEND THE
DISPERSION INDEX UP TO NEAR OR ABOVE A HUNDRED MOST PLACES BY
AFTERNOON. HUMIDITY SHOULD STAY AT OR ABOVE 35 PERCENT FOR MONDAY
BUT WILL BE CLOSE...SO WENT AHEAD AND ISSUED A FIRE WEATHER WATCH
FOR MONDAY. TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY LOOK LIKE RED FLAG CONDITIONS FOR
LOW HUMIDITY...WIND BE HAVE DIMINISHED BY THEN. MAY STILL BE A
LITTLE GUSTY EARLY TUESDAY MORNING NEAR THE COAST DUE TO THE THERMAL
GRADIENT. WATCH FOR TUESDAY BUT WILL WAIT ON WEDNESDAY. /11
