AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MOBILE AL
350 PM CDT THU OCT 15 2009

.SHORT TERM...(TODAY THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT)FIRST THINGS
FIRST...CURRENT WEATHER OVER THE LOWER MISS RIVER VALLEY IS BEING
SPAWNED BY A SHORTWAVE MOVING INTO THE BASE OF AN UPPER TROUGH OVER
THE EASTERN CONUS BEHIND THIS SHORTWAVE...A STRONGER SHORTWAVE SYSTEM
IS MOVING SOUTH OVER THE CENTRAL PLAINS/MID MISS RIVER VALLEY.
ANOTHER...CLOSED UPPER SYSTEM OFF THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST IS WORKING
WITH THE THE EAST COAST TROUGH TO BUILD A RIDGE OVER THE WESTERN
CONUS/CA. THIS DEEPENING TROUGH HAS ALSO PUSHED THE UPPER LEVEL HIGH
PRESSURE FROM OVER MEX TO OFF THE MEX PACIFIC COAST. THE FRONT
PRESENT OVER THE SOUTHERN PLAINS AND SOUTHEASTERN CONUS HAS PUSHED A
BIT FARTHER SOUTH OVER THE PLAINS...BUT STILL STRETCHES ACROSS
CENTRAL MS/AL.

GUIDANCE CONTINUES TO ADVERTISE THE ENERGY OVER THE PLAINS/NORTHERN
MISS RIVER VALLEY TO PUSH SOUTH...PUSHING A FRONT ACROSS THE AREA
LATER TONIGHT INTO FRIDAY. GFS IS ADVERTISING THE FRONT STARTING
ACROSS THE FA AROUND 06Z TONIGHT...AND EXITING SOUTH OF THE MARINE FA
MID-MORNING FRIDAY. NAM CONTINUES TO BE ABOUT 6HRS SLOWER THAN THE
GFS. THE NAM ALSO CONTINUES TO ADVERTISE A COLDER AIRMASS BEHIND THE
FRONT...WITH RESULTANT MET MOS 3 TO 6 DEGREES COOLER THAN THE GFSS
MAV. BOTH ARE ADVERTING STRONG NORTHERN FLOW BEHIND THE FRONT. HAVE
TAKEN INTO ACCOUNT THE 00Z ENSEMBLES ADVERTISING A RESULTANT FORECAST
TEMP COOLER THAN THE OP GFS AND HAVE BLENDED THE MAV/AND MET TEMPS
FOR THE STARTING POINT FOR THE FORECAST...TWEAKING FROM THERE. THIS
WILL GIVE US TEMPS WELL BELOW SEASONAL...APPROACHING RECORDS FOR THE
WEEKEND TIME FRAME.

LOOKING AT THE CHANCE OF SEVERE WEATHER...DIRECTIONAL SHEAR STILL
TENDS TO BE MISSING IN THE MODEL SOUNDINGS...THOUGH SOME SPEED SHEAR
IS PRESENT. THERE STILL APPEARS TO TO BE ENOUGH INSTABILITY FOR SOME
STORMS TO BECOME STRONG. CURRENT EYING A SEVERE THUNDERSTORM MOVING
OVER SOUTH-CENTRAL MISS AT THIS TIME. UNLESS THE COVERAGE BECOMES
MORE WIDESPREAD...SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WISE...SPC IS LEANING AWAY
FROM ISSUING A BOX FOR US...BUT THIS MAY CHANGE.

.LONG TERM...(SUNDAY ON)BY SUNDAY MORNING...THE SHORTWAVE WHICH DROVE
THE FRONT ACROSS THE AREA AND PUSHED THE CANADIAN AIRMASS OVER THE
SOUTHEASTERN CONUS HAS PUSHED TO OVER THE EASTERN SEABOARD...WITH
SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE POISED TO MOVE OVER THE LOWER/MID MISS RIVER
VALLEY. GUIDANCE IS ADVERTISING THIS SURFACE HIGH PUSHING EAST...TO
NEAR THE EAST COAST BY THE END OF MONDAY...BUT THEN STALLING INTO
THURSDAY BEFORE A STRONG UPPER SYSTEM ORGANIZES OVER THE SOUTHERN
ROCKIES MID WEEK AND PUSHES EAST. THIS WILL KEEP A GENERALLY EASTERLY
FLOW OVER THE AREA THROUGH MID WEEK.

&&

.MARINE...A STRONG COLD FRONT ADVANCING FROM THE SOUTHERN PLAINS
MOVES THROUGH THE MARINE AREA LATE TONIGHT WITH LIGHT WEST TO
SOUTHWEST WINDS AHEAD OF THE FRONT SWITCHING TO THE NORTHWEST AND
INCREASING TO 15 TO 20 KNOTS.  WINDS VEER AROUND TO THE NORTH AND
INCREASE TO AROUND 20 KNOTS ON FRIDAY...AND HAVE GONE AHEAD AND
ISSUED A SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY FOR THE AREA WHICH CONTINUES THROUGH
SATURDAY NIGHT THEN COMES TO AN END SUNDAY MORNING AS THE WINDS AND
SEAS SUBSIDE SOMEWHAT AS A SURFACE HIGH NEARS THE AREA.  THE SURFACE
HIGH MOVES ACROSS THE GULF COAST STATES TO THE CAROLINA COAST ON
TUESDAY WITH WINDS GRADUALLY VEERING AROUND TO THE SOUTHEAST AND
GENERALLY REMAINING IN THE RANGE OF 15-20 KNOTS. /29

.FIRE WEATHER...AHEAD OF A FRONTAL PASSAGE LATER TONIGHT INTO
FRIDAY...SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL DAMPEN THE AREA. AFTER THE
FRONT...STRONG NORTHERLY FLOW OVER THE AREA WILL USHER IN DRIER AND
COLDER AIR. TEMPERATURES WILL BE COLD ENOUGH TO LIMIT AFTERNOON
RELATIVE HUMIDITY VALUES FROM FALLING MUCH BELOW 40 PERCENT FRIDAY
AND SATURDAY. AS TEMPERATURES MODERATE SUNDAY INTO THE COMING
WEEK...AFTERNOON RELATIVE HUMIDITY VALUES TO FALL BELOW 35 PERCENT
SUNDAY AND MONDAY. LOW LEVEL FLOW WILL TRANSITION FROM NORTHERLY TO

THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR PORTIONS OF SOUTH CENTRAL
ALABAMA...SOUTHWEST ALABAMA...THE COASTAL WATERS OF ALABAMA AND
NORTHWEST FLORIDA...NORTHWEST FLORIDA AND SOUTHEAST MISSISSIPPI.

.DAY ONE...TODAY AND TONIGHT

A STRONG COLD FRONT ADVANCING FROM THE SOUTHERN PLAINS WILL ADVANCE
INTO SOUTHEAST MISSISSIPPI AND SOUTHWEST ALABAMA LATE IN THE
AFTERNOON AND CONTINUE SLOWLY SOUTHWARD THROUGH THE EVENING
HOURS...MOVING THROUGH THE COASTAL ALABAMA COUNTIES AND THE

FOR SEVERE WEATHER WILL BE WITH THE THUNDERSTORMS ALONG AND JUST
AHEAD OF THE COLD FRONT DURING THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING HOURS
ALTHOUGH IT IS POSSIBLE THAT A FEW STORMS WELL AHEAD OF THE FRONT
COULD BECOME STRONG TO SEVERE AS WELL.  THE SEVERE STORMS WILL HAVE
THE POTENTIAL TO PRODUCE WIND GUSTS IN EXCESS OF 60 MPH AND POSSIBLY
LARGE HAIL.

INCREASING WESTERLY WINDS OVER THE MARINE AREA MAY POSE A HAZARD TO
SMALL CRAFT TONIGHT.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY

DRIER AND COOLER CONDITIONS PREVAIL THROUGH THE PERIOD AND SEVERE
WEATHER IS NOT EXPECTED.

SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY CONDITIONS ARE LIKELY OVER THE COASTAL WATERS
BEHIND THE COLD FRONT BEGINNING FRIDAY AND PERSISTING THROUGH SUNDAY
