AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MOBILE AL
430 AM CST FRI MAR 5 2010
.SHORT TERM...(TODAY AND TONIGHT)...SFC RIDGE OVER MUCH OF THE MS
RIVER VALLEY WILL CONTINUE TO BUILD SOUTH AND EAST THROUGH TONIGHT
AS UPPER RIDGE TO THE WEST SHIFTS EAST OF THE CENTRAL PLAINS. WITH
THIS PATTERN MAIN FCST CONCERN FOR THE NEXT 24 HOURS LOOKS TO BE
MAINLY TEMPS AND WINDS. AFTERNOON HIGHS WILL RANGE FROM THE LOWER
60S FOR MOST INLAND AREAS AND THE UPPER 50S NEAR THE IMMEDIATE COAST
DUE TO THE COOLER SEA SURFACE TEMPS. THE BRISK NORTHERLY FLOW WHICH
HAS BEEN THE NORM FOR THE LAST FEW DAYS WILL DECREASE BETTER THIS
AFTERNOON MAKING CONDITIONS FEEL A LITTLE MORE LIKE LATE
WINTER/EARLY SPRING FOR THE CENTRAL GULF COAST. NORTHERLY FLOW WILL
REBUILD TONIGHT AS COOL WEDGE BECOMES BETTER ESTABLISH WELL TO THE
NORTH AND NORTHEAST. WITH MOSTLY CLEAR SKIES EXPECT TONIGHT AND HIGH
PRESSURE REBUILDING SLIGHTLY FROM THE NORTH NORTHEAST WILL LIKELY
SEE LOWS IN THE UPPER 20S NEAR OR JUST NORTH OF THE I-10 CORRIDOR
AND LOWER TO MIDDLE 30S CLOSER TO THE COAST.
32/EE
SATURDAY THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT...SATURDAY STARTS OUT WITH A SURFACE
HIGH CONTINUING TO RIDGE SOUTH ACROSS THE AREA FROM THE GREAT LAKES
WITH WEAK UPPER RIDGING OFF TO THE WEST. ANOTHER COOL START TO THE
DAY SATURDAY WITH TEMPERATURES BELOW FREEZING OVER THE NORTHERN
ZONES AND 35 TO 40 OVER THE SOUTH. WITH THE COOL START...SATURDAY'S
HIGH WILL REMAIN BELOW NORMAL WITH HIGH MAINLY IN THE LOWER 60S
UNDER SUNNY SKIES. THE UPPER RIDGE EDGES EAST A BIT AS AN UPPER LOW
DROPS SOUTH DOWN THE WEST COAST AND AFTER ANOTHER COOL START
SUNDAY...LOWS FREEZING OR BELOW OVER THE NORTHERN HALF...WILL
FINALLY SEE SOME HIGH TEMPERATURES APPROACHING NORMAL VALUES BETWEEN
65 AND 70 MOST PLACES. NO PRECIPITATION IN SHORT TERM AND VERY
LITTLE IN THE WAY OF CLOUDINESS OTHER THAN SOME OCCASIONAL CIRRUS
PASSING OVER HEAD. /11
.LONG TERM...(MONDAY THROUGH THURSDAY)BY MONDAY THE UPPER RIDGE WILL
BECOME MORE AMPLIFIED AS THE SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA UPPER LOW MOVES TO
THE SOUTHERN PLAINS AND A SURFACE HIGH MOVES EAST OF THE FORECAST
AREA. THE WESTERN GULF OF MEXICO OPENS UP WITH DEEP MOISTURE FLOWING
NORTHWARD IN ADVANCE OF THE UPPER LOW AND ENOUGH IS PUSHED EAST THAT
WE SHOULD HAVE SOME ISOLATED TO SCATTERED SHOWERS AROUND MONDAY
NIGHT AND TUESDAY WITH WARMER TEMPERATURES FROM TUESDAY NIGHT INTO
THURSDAY EXPECT SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS AS THE INITIAL
SURFACE LOW MOVES NORTHEAST FROM THE SOUTHERN PLAINS AND ANOTHER
DEEPER LOW DEVELOPS UNDER A SOUTHERN STREAM JET ON WEDNESDAY
EVENING. BOTH THE EURO AND GFS FORECAST THIS WITH THE GFS THE MORE
NORTHERLY. THIS COULD POTENTIALLY BE A SEVERE STORM SCENARIO FOR
WEDNESDAY NIGHT INTO THURSDAY BUT THAT A WEEK AWAY AND THINGS WILL
NO DOUBT CHANGE...INSTABILITY MAY BE LACKING DUE TO EXTENSIVE CLOUD
COVER DURING MID WEEK. /11
&&
.AVIATION...(12Z ISSUANCE)...VFR CONDITIONS THROUGH TONIGHT.
NORTHERLY WINDS 5 TO 10 KNOTS CAN BE EXPECTED THROUGH MID AFTERNOON
BECOMING VARIABLE 10 KNOTS OR LESS THROUGH LATE THIS EVENING THEN
BECOMING NORTH TO NORTHEAST AT 5 TO 10 KNOTS THROUGH SATURDAY
MORNING. 32/EE
&&
.MARINE...HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD OVER THE NORTH CENTRAL GULF
THROUGH EARLY SUNDAY THEN SHIFT EAST LATE SUNDAY THROUGH MIDWEEK IN
RESPONSE TO A DEEPENING AREA OF LOW PRESSURE MOVING SLOWLY EASTWARD
OVER THE CENTRAL PLAINS. AS A RESULT EXPECT MOSTLY A LIGHT OFFSHORE
THROUGH EARLY SUN. AS THE RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE MOVES EAST OF THE
MARINE AREA ON SUNDAY A BETTER ONSHORE FLOW WILL DEVELOP BY SUNDAY
AFTERNOON...THEN BUILD THROUGH MIDWEEK AS THE AREA OF LOW PRESSURE
MOVES EAST OF THE CENTRAL PLAINS. 32/EE
&&
.FIRE WEATHER...RED FLAG FOR THE PANHANDLE TODAY AS EXPECT ANOTHER
VERY DRY AFTERNOON ACROSS THE AREA. CANCELED THE WATCH FOR THE
ALABAMA ZONES BUT WILL LIKELY HAVE AFTERNOON HUMIDITY 23 TO 25
PERCENT BUT NOT EXPECTING TO MAKE THE 4 HOUR DURATION. PUT UP A
WARNING FOR MY ALABAMA ZONES ON SATURDAY...GENERALLY EAST OF I-65
AND FOR THE PANHANDLE. A FIRE WEATHER WATCH ON SUNDAY WAS ISSUED FOR
THE INTERIOR ZONES OF THE PANHANDLE AND ALABAMA EAST OF THE
INTERSTATE. SATURDAY WILL LIKELY BE DRIER THAN TODAY WITH THE
SLIGHTLY WARMER TEMPERATURES AND SUNDAY WITH EVEN WARMER
TEMPERATURES EXPECT ANOTHER DRY AFTERNOON EXCEPT A SEA BREEZE SHOULD
DEVELOP ALONG THE PANHANDLE COAST AND PREVENT THE HUMIDITY FROM
DROPPING TOO LOW OVER THE SOUTHERN ZONES. /11
