EXPECT THESE CONDITIONS TO CONTINUE TO SPREAD NORTH AND EXPAND EAST
AND WEST THROUGH THE AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING. DONT THINK THESE
CONDITIONS WILL SPREAD TOO FAR EAST UNTIL LATE TOMORROW. MAY BE SOME
FOG ALONG THE RIVER AND CREEK VALLEYS AGAIN TONIGHT...ESPECIALLY IN
AREAS THAT REMAIN MOSTLY CLOUD FREE. ALSO SOME DENSE FOG POSSIBLE
LATER TONIGHT OVER THE COASTAL AIRSTRIPS AS MOIST AIR FLOWS NORTH
OVER THE COOL NEAR SHORE WATERS. /11

******************************PREVIOUS**************************

.SHORT TERM...(TODAY AND TONIGHT)...LATEST SFC MAP SHOWS SFC RIDGE
CENTERED OVER S GA AND N FL THIS MORNING PROGGED TO SHIFT NORTHEAST
TO THE CAROLINAS AND WEAKEN THROUGH TONIGHT. WITH THIS PATTERN A
BETTER SOUTHEAST FLOW CAN BE EXPECTED LATER TODAY AND TONIGHT GIVING
WAY TO INCREASED LOW ATMOSPHERIC MOISTURE ACROSS MUCH OF THE CWFA
THROUGH 12Z WED. AS A RESULT PATCHY AREAS OF FOG POSSIBLY DENSE AT
TIMES WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THIS MORNING AND LIKELY RETURN OVERNIGHT
TONIGHT. INCREASING CLOUDINESS IN THE MID TO UPPER LEVELS CAN ALSO
BE EXPECTED LATER TODAY AND TONIGHT AS A DEVELOPING AREA OF LOW
PRESSURE AND SFC COLD FRONT OVER TX SHIFTS EAST. DUE TO A STRONG
WEDGE EFFECT FROM HIGH PRESSURE TO THE NE OVERNIGHT THE ONSET OF
LIGHT RAIN MOSTLY FROM INCREASED ISENTROPIC OR LAYER LIFT CAN BE
EXPECTED BY EARLY WED MORNING...MOSTLY OVER INLAND AREAS OF
SOUTHEAST MS. AS FOR TEMPS WILL STAY CLOSE TO THE CURRENT MAV
GUIDANCE THROUGH TONIGHT.
32/EE

.LONG TERM...(WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY)...STRONG UPPER TROUGH WILL
MOVE EASTWARD OUT OF THE FOUR CORNERS REGION WEDNESDAY. DOWNSTREAM
OF THIS TROUGH...ACROSS THE CENTRAL GULF COAST...STRONG WARM AIR
ADVECTION WILL PUSH TEMPS INTO THE MID AND UPPER 60S ON WEDNESDAY.
THE SOUTHERLY FLOW WILL ALSO ALLOW MOISTURE LEVELS TO GRADUALLY
RECOVER. MOISTURE LEVELS ARE EXPECTED TO BECOME DEEP ENOUGH BY
WEDNESDAY NIGHT FOR A CHANCE OF SHOWERS. THE UPPER TROUGH WILL
SHIFT EASTWARD ON THURSDAY WITH CYCLOGENESIS ACROSS THE LOWER MS
RIVER VALLEY LATE WEDNESDAY INTO THURSDAY. THIS TROUGH WILL TAKE ON
A NEGATIVE TILT DURING THE DAY ON THURSDAY WHILE THE SFC LOW MOVES
RAPIDLY NORTH. THIS WILL DRAG A COLD FRONT AND AN ASSOCIATED LINE OF
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS EASTWARD ACROSS THE GULF COAST DURING THE
AFTERNOON INTO THE EVENING. THERE WILL BE PLENTY OF SHEAR TO SUPPORT
SEVERE THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT...HOWEVER THE AMOUNT OF INSTABILITY
REMAINS IN QUESTION. AT THE VERY LEAST THE STRONG FORCING ASSOCIATED
WITH THE NEGATIVE TILT OF THE TROUGH WILL LIKELY BE ENOUGH FOR A
SQUALL LINE WITH THE THREAT OF DAMAGING WINDS AND ISOLATED
TORNADOES. THE GREATEST THREAT OF STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS IS
EXPECTED ACROSS SOUTHERN PORTIONS OF THE AREA WHERE DEWPOINTS IN
LOWER 60S WILL HAVE THE BEST CHANCE OF ADVECTING IN BY THURSDAY
AFTERNOON. THE STORM PREDICTION CENTER HAS OUTLOOKED PORTIONS OF THE
AREA IN A SLIGHT RISK FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT. BREEZY
CONDITIONS CAN ALSO BE EXPECTED AHEAD OF THE FRONT ON THURSDAY AS
THE PRESSURE GRADIENT TIGHTENS.

THE FRONT WILL MOVE EAST OF THE AREA BY FRIDAY MORNING WITH DRIER
AND COOLER AIRMASS MOVING INTO THE AREA FOR THE WEEKEND. HIGHS WILL
DROP BACK INTO THE 50S OVER THE WEEKEND WITH LOWS AROUND FREEZING
AWAY FROM THE COAST SATURDAY AND SUNDAY NIGHT. 13/JC

&&

.AVIATION...(12Z ISSUANCE)...PATCHY AREAS OF FOG WITH SCATTERED
CEILINGS OF 100 TO 400 FEET WILL CONTINUE THROUGH AROUND 13Z THIS
MORNING RETURNING AGAIN OVERNIGHT AND EARLY WED MORNING.
OTHERWISE...VFR CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL THROUGH TODAY WITH A LIGHT
SE WIND FLOW DEVELOPING LATER TODAY CONTINUING THROUGH TONIGHT.
AREAS OF LIGHT RAIN MOSTLY TO THE WEST OF MOB AND BFM WILL ALSO BE
POSSIBLE BY EARLY WEDNESDAY MORNING AS AN AREA OF LOW PRESSURE AND
SFC COLD FRONT MOVES EAST OVER TX. 32/EE

&&

.MARINE...HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE SOUTHEAST STATES WILL CONTINUE TO
MOVE NORTHEAST THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE WEEK. A LIGHT SOUTHEAST
WIND FLOW WILL BECOME BETTER DEVELOPED LATER TODAY THEN GRADUALLY
BUILD TONIGHT THROUGH THU IN RESPONSE TO A COLD FRONT APPROACHING
FROM THE WEST. AHEAD OF THE FRONT SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS CAN BE
EXPECTED WITH THE BEST COVERAGE OCCURRING THU AFTERNOON AND THU
NIGHT. SOME STORMS MAY BE STRONG TO SEVERE. AREAS OF FOG...POSSIBLY
DENSE AT TIMES...CAN ALSO BE EXPECTED TONIGHT THROUGH EARLY THU. A
MODERATE TO STRONG OFFSHORE FLOW CAN BE EXPECTED IN THE WAKE OF THE
FRONT LATE THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH EARLY SATURDAY. FOR NOW...SMALL
CRAFT ADVISORIES WILL LIKELY BE REQUIRED LATE WED NIGHT THROUGH THU.

SOME FLOODING CONTINUES ALONG SEVERAL AREA RIVERS IN ALABAMA AND
NORTHWEST FLORIDA.  PLEASE SEE THE LATEST RIVER FORECASTS FOR MORE
DETAILED INFORMATION.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON THROUGH TUESDAY

A LINE OF THUNDERSTORMS DEVELOPING IN ADVANCE OF A COLD FRONT ON
THURSDAY MORNING WILL MOVE INTO SOUTHEAST MISSISSIPPI AND SOUTHWEST
ALABAMA BY THURSDAY AFTERNOON.   LOW-LEVEL SHEAR SHOULD BE
SUFFICIENT FOR TORNADOES...BUT THE GREATEST SEVERE THREAT MAY BE
WIND DAMAGE...MORE LIKELY IF A PERSISTENT LINE OF THUNDERSTORMS CAN
BE MAINTAINED AS IT MOVES EASTWARD ACROSS THE REGION. A STRONG LOW
LEVEL JET WILL MOVE NORTHEAST LATER THURSDAY NIGHT AND THE STORMS
ARE EXPECTED TO WEAKEN AS THEY MOVE EAST OF INTERSTATE 65...BUT AN
ISOLATED SEVERE STORM CAN NOT BE COMPLETELY RULED OUT OVER THE
FLORIDA PANHANDLE AND EAST OF INTERSTATE 65 THURSDAY NIGHT.

RAINFALL AMOUNTS UP TO 2 INCHES OR SLIGHTLY MORE ARE EXPECTED OVER
SOUTHEAST MISSISSIPPI AND SOUTHWEST ALABAMA WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH
THURSDAY EVENING. THIS IS BELOW FLASH FLOOD GUIDANCE BUT SOME
PONDING OF WATER IN LOW PLACES AND POOR DRAINAGE AREAS IS LIKELY TO
OCCUR.

HAZARDOUS CONDITIONS FOR SMALL CRAFT ARE EXPECTED OVER THE MARINE
AREA BEGINNING WEDNESDAY EVENING AND CONTINUING THROUGH THE END OF
THE WEEK. A STRONG SOUTHEAST WIND WILL DEVELOP IN ADVANCE OF A COLD
FRONT THAT IS EXPECTED TO CROSS THE MARINE AREA CHRISTMAS EVE.  A
MODERATE TO STRONG WEST TO NORTHWEST WIND IS EXPECTED IN THE WAKE OF

DENSE FOG WILL LIKELY DEVELOP OVER THE NEAR SHORE WATERS INCLUDING
INLAND BAYS AND SOUNDS AND SOME COASTAL AREAS ALONG THE IMMEDIATE
COAST LATE WEDNESDAY THROUGH EARLY THURSDAY.
