AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MOBILE AL
400 AM CST TUE JAN 5 2010

...WINTRY MIX OF PRECIPITATION REMAINS A POSSIBILITY OVER THE DEEP
SOUTH THURSDAY...

...BITTER COLD...DANGEROUS WIND CHILLS POSSIBLE THIS WEEKEND...

.SHORT TERM [TODAY AND TONIGHT] CLEAR...DRY AND COLD DESCRIBE
CONDITIONS THROUGH TONIGHT.  DEEP LAYER NORTHWESTERLY WINDS CONTINUE
TO USHER PROGRESSIVELY COLDER AND DRIER AIR INTO THE REGION AS A
LONGWAVE TROF PATTERN PERSISTS OVER THE EASTERN STATES.  A SURFACE
RIDGE CONTINUES TO BUILD INTO THE REGION THROUGH TONIGHT WITH THE
PRESSURE GRADIENT RELAXING ALLOWING FOR WINDS TO BECOME LIGHT
OVERNIGHT...AND WITH PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES NEAR JUST A TENTH OF
AN INCH...RADIATIONAL COOLING WILL BE MAXIMIZED.  HAVE GONE AHEAD
AND UPGRADED THE HARD FREEZE WATCH FOR TONIGHT TO A WARNING WITH
OVERNIGHT LOWS IN THE TEENS IN MOST LOCATIONS.  HAVE GONE WITH A
BLEND OF THE MAV AND MET FOR OVERNIGHT LOWS WHICH WERE BOTH
GENERALLY IN AGREEMENT. /29

.LONG TERM [WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY]...ALTHOUGH A PIECE OF THE
ARCTIC RIDGE MOVES INTO THE DEEP SOUTH AND SOUTHEAST AND WEAKENS ON
WEDNESDAY...THE AIRMASS WILL REMAIN UNSEASONABLY COLD. DAILY HIGHS
IN THE MID 40S EXPECTED ON WEDNESDAY WITH DRY CONDITIONS TO PERSIST.

WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND THURSDAY...FORECASTERS WILL BE WATCHING NEXT
UPSTREAM MID LEVEL DISTURBANCE TO MOVE SOUTHEASTWARD OUT OF THE
CENTRAL/SOUTHERN PLAINS. THIS FEATURE TO BRING NEXT ARCTIC SURGE OF
WHAT LOOKS TO BE EVEN COLDER AIR TO THE DEEP SOUTH. THE 05.00 RUNS
OF THE ECMWF AND GFS HAVE COME INTO SOMEWHAT BETTER ALIGNMENT ON THE
MOVEMENT OF THE FRONT SINCE 24 HRS AGO...BUT STILL HAVE DIFFERENCES
ON THE EASTWARD PROGRESSION AND STRENGTH OF THEIR RESPECTIVE FRONTAL
LOW PRESSURE SYSTEMS. THE GFS STILL IS A LITTLE FASTER...SLIGHTLY
STRONGER AND FURTHER SOUTHEAST WITH ITS LOW MOVING OVER THE NORTHERN
GULF THURSDAY WITH THE ECMWF COMING IN SLIGHTLY SLOWER AND LESS
DEFINED.

BOTH MODELS BRING AN INCREASED DEEP LAYER MOISTURE SIGNAL
ACROSS THE DEEP SOUTH THURSDAY AND WITH THE PRESENCE OF COLD AIR TO
REMAIN PLACE...THE POSSIBILITY CONTINUES TO EXIST THAT THE DEEP
SOUTH COULD EXPERIENCE SOME WINTRY PRECIPITATION ON THURSDAY. THE
CHALLENGE THIS MORNING WHEN CONSIDERING THE VARIOUS SOLUTIONS HAS
BEEN DIAGNOSING THE RAIN...SLEET AND SNOW LINE AND ITS EASTWARD
PROGRESSION. FORECASTERS HAVE TAKEN A BLEND OF THE GFS/ECMWF
SOLUTION OF MOISTURE AND CRITICAL WINTER DEEP LAYER
THICKNESSES...BUT CONFIDENCE IN CALLING OUT ONE PREVAILING
PRECIPITATION MODE OVER ANOTHER IS STILL QUITE LOW DURING THE DAY
THURSDAY. THUS...WILL CALL FOR A MIX OF RAIN...LIGHT SLEET AND SNOW.
WILL NOT ENTIRELY RULE OUT A BIT OF ACCUMULATION ESPECIALLY IN OUR
NORTHERN ZONES THURSDAY WHERE THE COLDEST AIR WILL RESIDE. AS
FRONT/LOW MOVE EAST THURSDAY EVENING...THERE IS A SMALL CHANCE OF
COMPLETE CHANGE OVER TO LIGHT SNOW ON ITS BACK SIDE BEFORE ENDING.

FRIDAY...SATURDAY AND SUNDAY COLD WITH NEXT ARCTIC RIDGE MAKING ITS
IMPACT ACROSS THE DEEP SOUTH. NIGHTTIME MINS DURING THIS PERIOD BECOMING
BITTERLY COLD. CONSIDERING THE OFFICIAL FORECAST...WILL LIKELY HAVE
TO CONTEND WITH DANGEROUS WIND CHILLS WITH THESE RANGING FROM NEAR
ZERO TO 10 ABOVE. WILL CONTINUE TO HIGHLIGHT THURSDAYS WINTRY
WEATHER PRECIPITATION POTENTIAL AND STEP UP WORDING ON WEEKEND WIND
CHILLS IN THE LOCAL HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK. /10

&&

.AVIATION...VFR CONDITIONS CONTINUE FOR THE NEXT 24 HOURS. /29

&&

.MARINE...THE STRONG RIDGE OVER THE SOUTHERN AND CENTRAL PLAINS
BUILDS INTO THE MARINE AREA THROUGH TONIGHT ALLOWING FOR THE STRONG
OFFSHORE FLOW TO SUBSIDE THROUGH WEDNESDAY.  WILL CONTINUE WITH THE
SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY FOR THE MARINE AREA UNTIL EXPIRATION AT 15Z.
LIGHT OFFSHORE WINDS ON WEDNESDAY VEER AROUND TO THE SOUTH WEDNESDAY
NIGHT AS THE CENTER OF THE SURFACE HIGH SHIFTS EAST OF THE MARINE
AREA AND AN ANTICIPATED SYSTEM DEVELOPS OVER THE SOUTHERN PLAINS AND
MOVES INTO THE NORTHWESTERN GULF.  THE ONSHORE FLOW INCREASES
THURSDAY MORNING THEN SWITCHES AROUND TO THE NORTHWEST THURSDAY
AFTERNOON AS THE SURFACE LOW MOVES ACROSS THE MARINE AREA.  THE GFS
AND ECMWF ARE GENERALLY IN AGREEMENT ON THIS EVOLUTION ALTHOUGH THE
THE ECMWF IS A BIT SLOWER AND ALSO WEAKER WITH THE PRESSURE
GRADIENT.  HAVE TAKEN THE SOMEWHAT WEAKER ECMWF SOLUTION INTO
CONSIDERATION CONSIDERING HPC'S PREFERENCE FOR THE MODEL WHICH
RESULTS IN A STRONG OFFSHORE FLOW THURSDAY NIGHT. FLOW ABATES SOMEWHAT
THROUGH SATURDAY. /29

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...RISK OF WILDFIRE WILL REMAIN HIGH WITH A LONG
DURATION OF VERY LOW DAYTIME HUMIDITY EXPECTED THE NEXT COUPLE DAYS.

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

AN ARCTIC HIGH PRESSURE SYSTEM CONTINUES TO USHER PROGRESSIVELY
COLDER AIR INTO THE REGION THROUGH TONIGHT.  A HARD FREEZE WARNING
REMAINS IN EFFECT FOR ALL BUT COASTAL SECTIONS THIS MORNING.
ANOTHER HARD FREEZE WARNING IS IN EFFECT FOR THE ENTIRE AREA TONIGHT
WHEN EVEN COLDER TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED...AND SEVERAL AREAS COULD
EXPERIENCE NEAR RECORD TO RECORD LOW TEMPERATURES.

MODERATE TO STRONG WINDS OVER THE MARINE AREA MAY CREATE HAZARDOUS
CONDITIONS FOR SMALL CRAFT UNTIL WINDS SUBSIDE THIS MORNING.

VERY DRY AIR WILL INCREASE THE RISK OF WILDFIRES TODAY ESPECIALLY IN
SOUTHWEST ALABAMA AND THE NORTHWEST FLORIDA PANHANDLE.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY

TEMPERATURES MODERATE SOMEWHAT ON WEDNESDAY BUT REMAIN UNSEASONABLY
COLD.  A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM ADVANCES FROM THE NORTHWESTERN GULF
WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND PASSES SOUTH OF THE AREA ON THURSDAY.  WITH COLD
AIR IN PLACE OVER THE REGION...THE LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM IS EXPECTED
TO BRING A WINTRY MIX OF RAIN...LIGHT SLEET AND SNOW TO THE AREA
THURSDAY INTO THURSDAY EVENING.  ALTHOUGH LITTLE ACCUMULATION OF
SNOW OR SLEET IS EXPECTED...THIS MAY CREATE HAZARDOUS DRIVING
CONDITIONS FOR MOTORISTS...ESPECIALLY OVER ELEVATED ROADWAYS SUCH AS
BRIDGES.  STAY TUNED FOR FURTHER UPDATES ON THIS WEATHER SITUATION.
DRY CONDITIONS FOLLOW FOR THE REMAINDER OF THURSDAY NIGHT AS THE LOW
PRESSURE SYSTEM CONTINUES EAST OF THE AREA.

BITTERLY COLD AIR FLOWS INTO THE AREA IN THE WAKE OF THE LOW
PRESSURE SYSTEM WITH HIGH TEMPERATURES FRIDAY AND SATURDAY ONLY IN
THE THIRTIES AND OVERNIGHT LOWS FRIDAY NIGHT AND SATURDAY NIGHT
GENERALLY IN THE MID TEENS ACROSS MOST OF THE AREA.  BRISK WINDS
WILL RESULT IN WIND CHILLS IN THE SINGLE DIGITS MAINLY DURING THE
MORNING AND OVERNIGHT HOURS ON FRIDAY MORNING THROUGH SUNDAY MORNING.

WINDS BECOME STRONG OVER THE MARINE AREA ON THURSDAY AS THE LOW
PRESSURE SYSTEM APPROACHES AND MOVES THROUGH THE AREA.  STRONG WINDS
CONTINUE OVER THE MARINE AREA THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT THEN SUBSIDE ON
SUNDAY.  THESE STRONG WINDS WILL CREATE HAZARDOUS CONDITIONS FOR
SMALL CRAFT.

VERY DRY AIR WILL CONTINUE TO POSE AN INCREASED RISK OF WILDFIRES
ACROSS MUCH OF SOUTHWEST ALABAMA AND THE NORTHWEST FLORIDA PANHANDLE
ON WEDNESDAY.  AFTER A RETURN OF MOISTURE ON THURSDAY...DRIER AIR
FLOWS BACK INTO THE REGION FOR FRIDAY THROUGH SUNDAY AND MAY
CONTINUE TO POSE A RISK OF WILDFIRES ACROSS SOUTHWEST ALABAMA AND
THE NORTHWEST FLORIDA PANHANDLE.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

ACTIVATION OF EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT OFFICIALS AND STORM SPOTTERS FOR
SEVERE WEATHER WILL NOT BE REQUIRED THROUGH TONIGHT.
