Flash Flood Warning 1, NWS Mobile, AL

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MOBILE AL
655 PM CST WED JAN 20 2010

.UPDATE...SENT OUT REFRESHED ZONES AND GRIDS...PRIMARILY TO ADD
PATCHY FOG TO THE FCST. GENERALLY LIGHT FOG IS EXPECTED. HEAVIER
RAINFALL THUS FAR THROUGH LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND INTO THE EARLY
EVENING HOURS HAS BEEN OVER THE COASTAL COUNTIES. BUT EXPECT MORE
HEAVY RAINFALL AND SOME STRONGER TSTMS TO OUR WEST TO MOVE INTO THE
FCST AREA LATER THIS EVENING. LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING WINDS WILL BE
THE MAIN THREAT...BUT AN ISOLATED TORNADO WILL REMAIN A POSSIBILITY.
THROUGH 9PM...STRONGEST STORMS WILL OCCUR OVER SOUTHEAST MISSISSIPPI
AND COASTAL ALABAMA AS THE MORE UNSTABLE AIRMASS BUILDS INTO THE
REGION. WILL LIKELY MAKE FURTHER ADJUSTMENTS TO THE OVERNIGHT FCST
LATER THIS EVENING.

LOOKING AT TOMORROW...WILL ALSO LIKELY ADJUST CURRENT POPS
ADVERTISED IN OUR FCST FOR THURSDAY TO BETTER REFLECT THINKING OF
NEIGHBORING OFFICES AND 18Z MODEL DATA...WITH PCPN PROGRESSIVELY
MOVING OUT OF OUR REGION TOMORROW. SHOULD CLEAR OUR WESTERN ZONES BY
AROUND MIDDAY...THEN BE ENDING OVER OUR EASTERN ZONES BY MID TO LATE
AFTERNOON. 12/DS

&&

.AVIATION [00Z ISSUANCE]...A BLEND OF LIFR/IFR CIGS IS ANTICIPATED
IN THE NEAR TERM ALONG WITH A GENERAL IFR VSBY IN PASSING TSRA. A
FEW STORMS COULD BECOME SEVERE AS WELL BETWEEN 21/00Z AND 21/09Z.
THE ENVIRONMENT DOES FAVOR A HIGHER THREAT OF LARGE HAIL IN ANY
SEVERE STORMS TONIGHT. /10

&&

...........................FROM PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...............

.SHORT TERM...TONIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT...500 MB SHORTWAVE EAST
OF THE ROCKIES WILL MOVE EAST ACROSS THE SOUTHERN PLAINS THROUGH
TONIGHT. THE LOW WILL MOVE SOUTHEAST ACROSS THE TEXAS PANHANDLE,
TURNING EAST REACHING NORTHERN ARKANSAS BY MIDNIGHT. MOIST DEEP
SOUTHWEST FLOW DEVELOPING OVER THE REGION TODAY AHEAD OF THE MAIN
SYSTEM WILL PUSH PW UP TO 1.65 INCHES. HIGH THETA-E AIR INCREASING
OVER THE GULF COAST WITH SOUTH WINDS INCREASING. THE ENTIRE REGION
WILL BE WARM SECTORED. THIS EVENING AND OVERNIGHT. RAIN SHOWERS WILL
EXPAND EASTWARD IN COVERAGE WITH INTENSITY INCREASING THROUGH THIS
EVENING. STABILITY DECREASING IN WESTERN ZONES WITH 500-1000 J/KG
MLCAPES P EXPANDING EASTWARD THIS EVENING. STRONG LOW LEVEL WIND
SHEAR AND HIGH HELICITY AROUND 400 M^2-S^2 ASSOCIATED WITH THIS
SYSTEM. THE WETBULB ZERO FROM LIX SOUNDING THIS MORNING AT 12Z IS
ABOUT 7500 FT. THIS INDICATES SUPERCELLS WITH LARGE HAIL AND ISOLATED
TORNADOES POSSIBLE. BOWING SEGMENTS LIKELY OVERNIGHT, WITH DAMAGING
THUNDERSTORM WINDS AND HEAVY RAIN BEING THE MAIN THREATS.

SUMMARIZING, FOR THIS EVENING, FIRST ROUND OF CONVECTION OVERSPREADS
EARLY AND MID EVENING PROGRESSING EAST OF I-65. WEST OF I65,
COVERAGE IS DECREASING BRIEFLY TO SCATTERED, BUT THE ATMOSPHERE WILL
BE RELOADING AT THAT TIME FOR THE SECOND ROUND. THE MAIN THREAT WITH
THE FIRST ROUND THIS EVENING WILL AGAIN BE SEVERE HAIL WITH THAT LOW
WBZ WE MENTIONED. OVERNIGHT, AS THE BIG SYSTEM MOVES FURTHER EAST,
THE SECOND ROUND WILL COME AFTER THE RELOADING AS A LINE OF STORMS
DEVELOPING ALONG A COLD FRONT. THE LINE AND ISOLATED STORMS AHEAD OF
IT WILL BE IN AN ENVIRONMENT OF HIGH INSTABILITY AND WIND SHEAR
BRINGING RISK OF LARGE HAIL, ISOLATED DAMAGING WIND, AND ISOLATED
TORNADOES. THE TIME OF HIGHEST SEVERE THUNDERSTORM RISK THREAT WILL
BE LATE THIS EVENING THROUGH BEFORE SUNRISE ALONG BOTH SIDES OF THE
I-65 CORRIDOR. SOMEWHAT LOWER RISK NEAR THE IMMEDIATE COAST. GUIDANCE
SHOWS PHASING OF HIGH INSTABILITY AND QUASI- GEOSTROPHIC JET
PROCESSES INTO THURSDAY MORNING. THE GFS WE SEE AS PRETTY CONSISTENT
IN HOW IT HANDLES THE EVOLUTION, SO WE'RE PRETTY CONFIDENT EVENT
RAINFALL TOTALS WILL AVERAGE 1 TO 2 INCHES REGIONWIDE. ISOLATED
TOTALS 3 TO 4 INCHES INLAND. THIS COULD MEAN MINOR FLOODING ISSUES
IN LOW LYING AND POOR DRAINAGE AREAS.

LATER ON, CLEARING WILL BEGIN TOMORROW AFTERNOON. THINKING EARLIER
THERE MAY BE RISKING SOME POST FRONTAL ISENTROPIC LIFTING WITH
LINGERING SMALL POPS AND QPF TOMORROW INTO EARLY FRIDAY. HOWEVER THE
OTHER SIGNALS OF THREE MODELS AND THE MOS INDICATE THE UPPER LOW WILL
MOVE OUT AND THE REGION WILL DRY OUT.

/77

.LONG TERM...(FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY NEXT WEEK)...NO CHANGES
TO FORECAST. MEDIUM RANGE GUIDANCE SHOWS RETURN FLOW DOMINATING THE
FA. A SQUALL LINE IS INDICATED ACROSS THE FA EITHER LATE SATURDAY
NIGHT INTO SUNDAY(GFS) OR ENTIRELY SUNDAY(ECMWF) DUE TO A SECOND
VORTLOBE MOVING SOUTH AROUND THE SOUTHERN EDGE OF AN UPPER LOW
COMING OUT OF THE PLAINS, THEN WEST ALONG I-10 IN NM AND TX.

BOTH GFS AND EURO ARE SHOWING THE FRONT CROSSING THE FA SUNDAY INTO
EARLY SUNDAY NIGHT, THOUGH THE ECMWF KEEPS THE SQUALL LINE CLOSER TO
THE SURFACE FRONT. SEVERE WEATHER POSSIBLE WITH THIS SYSTEM, THOUGH
THE UPPER DYNAMICS ARE A BIT OUT OF PHASE IN THE GFS. ECMWF IS MORE
FAVORABLE. SEE A SLIGHT RISK FOR THIS SYSTEM FOR SATURDAY INTO
SUNDAY MORNING. MAY NEED TO PUSH IT BACK OVER TIME.

SUNDAY NIGHT INTO MONDAY...THOUGH GUIDANCE IS SEEING MORE UPPER
DYNAMICS BEHIND THE FIRST VORTLOBE, THE SYSTEM OCCLUDES AND DRIES OUT
OVER THE LOWER MISS VALLEY AND SOUTHEASTERN CONUS, CUTTING OFF
THE CHANCE FOR RAIN. THIS SECOND SHOT OF UPPER ENERGY BRINGS A COOLER
AIRMASS WITH, DROPPING TEMPS TO A BIT BELOW SEASONAL FOR TUESDAY
INTO MID WEEK. MOS IS TRYING TO SHOW SOME COLD SURGE STRATUS WITH
THIS TRAILING ENERGY, BUT DISAGREE WITH THIS, WITH THE DRY AIR MOVING IN
WITH THE OCCLUSION OF THE SURFACE FRONT.

&&

.MARINE...ISSUED SCA EARLIER TODAY FOR THIS EVENING THROUGH LATE THU
AFTERNOON FOR INCREASE IN WINDS AND BUILDING SEAS AS SOUTHERN PLAINS
STORM SYSTEM FURTHER EVOLVES DURING THE NEXT DAY. WINDS WILL BECOME
MORE SELY WITH TIME AND THEN SWLY OVERNIGHT AS LOW LIFTS FURTHER TO
THE N. SEAS WILL BUILD TO BETWEEN 8 AND 10 FEET BY EARLY THURSDAY AND
BAYS AND COASTAL WATERWAYS MAY BECOME ROUGH FOR A BRIEF PERIOD
TNT...ESPECIALLY INVOF TSRA. SFC WINDS DECREASE THURSDAY EVENING INTO
FRIDAY AS WEAK SFC HI PRES BUILDS OVER THE MARINE AREA. THIS WILL NOT
LAST LONG AS YET ANOTHER SYSTEM APPROACHES ON THE HEELS OF THE
CURRENT. WINDS WILL TURN SLY OVER THE WRN HALF OF THE MARINE AREA FRI
NITE AND INCREASE TO NEAR SCA LEVELS AGAIN SAT AFTERNOON. MADE NO
CHANGES BEYOND SAT TO WINDS OR WAVES GIVEN ONGOING WEATHER SITUATION.
/23

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...INCREASING LOW LEVEL FLOW TODAY AHEAD OF A SYSTEM
BRINGING RAIN TO THE AREA LATER TODAY INTO THURSDAY. AFTER THIS
FIRST SYSTEM MOVES TROUGH, DRY AIR WILL MOVE IN FRIDAY INTO FRIDAY
NIGHT, BUT BY SATURDAY MORNING, SOUTHERLY FLOW WILL RE-ESTABLISH
AHEAD OF ANOTHER ROUND OF RAIN LATE SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY.
NOT EXPECTING RH MUCH BELOW 40 PERCENT THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS. /77

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

.DAY ONE...THIS EVENING THROUGH MIDDAY THURSDAY...

A SOUTHERN PLAINS STORM SYSTEM WILL INTENSIFY AND EVOLVE EASTWARD
OVERNIGHT. THE LATEST RADAR AND SATELLITE TRENDS INDICATE THE
CURRENT AREA OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS IN PROGRESS THIS AFTERNOON
WILL CONTINUE MOVING EAST OF I-65 THROUGH MID EVENING. A THREAT OF
SMALL HAIL EXISTS WITH THESE STORMS. THE WIND THREAT IS MINIMAL
BECAUSE THE STORMS ARE DEVELOPING AND MOVING ABOVE A STABLE SURFACE
LAYER.

THIS EVENING...LATEST OBSERVED AND MODEL DATA SUGGEST A GRADUAL
INCREASE IN THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY OVER SOUTHWESTERN MISSISSIPPI AND
SOUTHEASTERN LOUISIANA THROUGH 8 PM. THESE STORMS WILL EVENTUALLY
MOVE INTO OUR AREA FROM THE WEST.  AS THE ATMOSPHERE CONTINUES TO
DESTABILIZE NORTHWEST OF I-65...PARTICULARLY OVER INLAND
SOUTHEASTERN MISSISSIPPI...SOME STORMS COULD APPROACH SEVERE LIMITS.
THESE STORMS WILL PROGRESS FURTHER TO THE EAST OVERNIGHT.  LARGE
HAIL UP TO ONE INCH DIAMETER WILL BE THE PRIMARY THREAT...ALTHOUGH A
SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WIND GUST TO 60 MPH AND AN ISOLATED TORNADO
CANNOT BE RULED OUT. A LINE OF THUNDERSTORMS WILL DEVELOP OVER
SOUTHEASTERN MISSISSIPPI AND END THE RAINFALL FROM THE WEST DURING
THE LATE NIGHT AND EARLY MORNING HOURS.

IN SUMMARY..THE HOURS OF GREATEST THREAT TO RECEIVE A SEVERE
THUNDERSTORM OVER ANY GIVEN LOCATION WILL BE FROM  MID EVENING
THROUGH THE EARLY MORNING HOURS MAINLY WEST OF THE I-65 CORRIDOR...
WITH SOMEWHAT OF A LOWER THREAT NEAR THE IMMEDIATE COAST.
RAINFALL TOTALS FOR THIS EVENT WILL RANGE FROM A GENERAL 1 TO 2
INCHES REGIONWIDE... ALTHOUGH ISOLATED TOTALS OF 3 TO 4 INCHES ARE
EXPECTED INLAND. THIS COULD RESULT IN MINOR FLOODING ISSUES OF LOW
LYING AND POOR DRAINAGE AREAS.

SOUTHERLY WINDS AND SEAS WILL INCREASE TODAY AS THE STORM SYSTEM
DEVELOPS OVER THE SOUTHERN PLAINS AND MOVES EAST. SOUTHERLY WINDS OF
20 TO 25 KNOTS ARE EXPECTED TONIGHT AND THURSDAY...AND WILL ALLOW
SEAS TO BUILD TO 8 TO 10 FEET.  THESE CONDITIONS WILL LEAD TO
SIGNIFICANT IMPACTS FOR SMALL CRAFT OPERATING ON THE GULF AND AREA
BAYS. IN ADDITION...BAYS AND COASTAL WATERWAYS WILL BE ROUGH.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...MIDDAY THURSDAY THROUGH LATE NEXT WEDNESDAY

THE SOUTHERLY WINDS OF 20 TO 25 KNOTS AND SEAS OF 6 TO 9 FEET WILL
CONTINUE OVER THE COASTAL WATERS THURSDAY. SIGNIFICANT IMPACTS TO
SMALL CRAFT CONTINUE.

A STRONGER COLD FRONT IS FORECAST TO MOVE ACROSS THE NORTHERN GULF
COAST LATE SATURDAY NIGHT INTO SUNDAY. THERE WILL BE THE POTENTIAL
FOR A FEW STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS IF ENOUGH INSTABILITY MATERIALIZES.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

ACTIVATION OF EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT OFFICIALS AND STORM SPOTTERS FOR
SEVERE WEATHER MAY BE NEEDED LATE WEDNESDAY AND EARLY THURSDAY.
