AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MOBILE AL
337 PM CDT SUN AUG 22 2010

.SHORT TERM (TONIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT)...19Z SFC ANALYSIS
DEPICTS A WEST TO EAST SFC TROUGH LOCATED ACROSS NORTH CENTRAL
AL/MS...SLOWLY MOVING TO THE SOUTH. IT IS HARD TO CALL IT A FRONT AT
THIS JUNCTURE CONSIDERING ANY APPRECIABLE AIRMASS CHANGE (MAINLY A
DEWPOINT DISCONTINUITY) IS STILL LOCATED WELL TO THE NORTH ACROSS THE
OHIO VALLEY AND MIDWEST. HOWEVER...WATER VAPOR CLEARLY INDICATES A
SURGE OF VERY DRY MID AND UPPER LEVEL AIR OVER NORTHERN MS/AL MOVING
STEADILY SOUTH. BOTH THE SFC BOUNDARY AND THE DRY AIRMASS WILL
CONTINUE TO MOVE SOUTH TONIGHT...WITH THE TROUGH MOVING OFFSHORE LATE
TONIGHT. WE WILL STEADILY SEE A REDUCTION IN CONVECTIVE CHANCES FROM
NORTH TO SOUTH THIS EVENING...WITH SLIGHT CHANCES OVERNIGHT BEING
CONFINED TO THE COAST AND OFFSHORE WATERS. WILL MAINTAIN THE HEAT
ADVISORY THROUGH THE REST OF THE AFTERNOON AS HEAT INDICES REMAIN IN
THE 105 TO 109 DEGREE RANGE OUTSIDE OF CONVECTION.

ON MONDAY...THE BOUNDARY IS FORECAST TO BECOME QUASI-STATIONARY NEAR
THE COAST. TO THE NORTH OF THE BOUNDARY...THE ATMOSPHERE BECOMES
DEEPLY MIXED WITH FORECAST SOUNDINGS INDICATING A DEEP DRY ADIABATIC
MIXED LAYER ALL THE WAY UP TO NEAR 750 MB. DEWPOINTS WILL MIX OUT
INTO THE LOW TO MID 60S OVER THE FAR INTERIOR AS A RESULT WITH
PRECIPITABLE WATERS DROPPING ALL THE WAY TO NEAR 1 INCH. A TIGHT
DEWPOINT GRADIENT IS LIKELY TO SET UP NEAR THE I-10 CORRIDOR AS SW
WINDS JUST TO THE SOUTH OF THE BOUNDARY WILL PREVENT DEWPOINTS FROM
MIXING OUT MUCH WITH MID 70S PERSISTING. DESPITE THE AIR OVER MUCH OF
THE REGION BEING MUCH DRIER...IT WILL DO LITTLE IN THE WAY OF
LOWERING MAX TEMPERATURES. 1000-850MB THICKNESSES IN THE 1435-1445
METER RANGE SUPPORT HIGHS IN THE MID TO UPPER 90S. THESE TEMPERATURES
COMBINED WITH THE HIGHER DEWPOINTS ALONG THE COAST WILL CREATE HEAT
INDICES OF 106 TO 110 DEGREES. WE HAVE DECIDED TO ISSUE A HEAT
ADVISORY FOR THE COASTAL SECTIONS OF ALABAMA AND NW FLORIDA FOR MON
AFTN.WE WILL HAVE TO MONITOR DEWPOINTS CAREFULLY BECAUSE IF THEY
REMAIN IN THE UPPER 70S...THEN AN EXCESSIVE HEAT WARNING WILL BECOME
NECESSARY. WITH THE ABUNDANCE OF DRY AIR PRESENT...RAIN CHANCES LOOK
TO BE NIL FOR THE MAJORITY OF THE CWA. MAINTAINED SLIGHT CHANCE POPS
NEAR THE COAST IN THE VICINITY OF THE SFC BOUNDARY. HOWEVER...THE MID
LEVELS BECOME SO DRY...IT WILL BE HARD FOR ANY UPDRAFT TO BECOME
SUSTAINED.

MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT LOOK RAIN FREE ACROSS THE ENTIRE
AREA AS PRECIPITABLE WATERS DROP FURTHER...EVEN DROPPING TO AROUND
1.25 INCHES ALONG THE COAST. THE FRONT IS LIKELY TO NUDGE OFFSHORE
LATE MONDAY NIGHT AS THE LAND MASS COOLS AND SFC PRESSURES RISE.
LOWER DEWPOINTS SHOULD RESULT IN PLEASANT NIGHTS IN THE MID TO UPPER
60S ALONG AND NORTH OF THE HIGHWAY 84 CORRIDOR...WITH MID TO UPPER
70S CLOSER TO THE BEACHES. ANOTHER DAY IN THE MID TO UPPER 90S ON
TUESDAY...BUT LOWER RH VALUES WILL KEEP HEAT INDICES BELOW ADVISORY
CRITERIA. 34/JFB

&&

.LONG TERM (WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY)...THE FORECAST LOOKS RAIN FREE
THROUGH THE END OF THE WEEK AS DRY AIR REMAINS FIRMLY ENTRENCHED
ACROSS THE AREA THANKS TO BROAD TROUGHING PERSISTING OVER THE EASTERN
STATES. DID NOT BUY INTO THE 12Z GFS SOLUTION FOR THU/FRI. IT SHOWS A
QUICKER AND MORE ROBUST RETURN OF MOISTURE OVER THE CENTRAL GULF
COAST AS A SUBTLE SHORTWAVE WITH ORIGINS OVER THE CENTRAL PLAINS
MOVES SOUTHEAST TOWARD THE AREA. THIS PARTICULAR SHORTWAVE LOOKS TO
BE PRODUCED BY CONVECTIVE FEEDBACK OVER NEBRASKA AND OKLAHOMA...SO WE
CERTAINLY ARE NOT GOING TO BUY INTO SUCH A FEATURE AT THIS RANGE OF
THE FORECAST. FORECAST HIGHS ARE IN THE MID 90S WEDNESDAY AND LOW
90S BY FRIDAY. OVERNIGHT LOWS NEAR SEASONAL LEVELS...MID 70S NEAR THE
BEACHES AND UPPER 60S INLAND.

MOISTURE LEVELS BEGIN TO INCREASE OVER THE WEEKEND AS SFC HIGH
PRESSURE SHIFTS TO THE EAST COAST AND A STEADY EASTERLY WIND
DEVELOPS...SO WILL KEEP POPS IN THE TYPICAL CLIMO 30/40 RANGE. HIGHS
CONTINUE IN THE LOW 90S. 34/JFB

&&

.AVIATION (18Z-00Z ISSUANCE)...SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE TO DEVELOP ACROSS SOUTHEAST
MS...SOUTHWEST AL...AND THE WESTERN FL PANHANDLE THIS AFTERNOON WITH
THE BETTER COVERAGE FORMING WELL INLAND FROM THE COAST THROUGH 400
PM...THEN SHIFTING SOUTHWARD TOWARDS THE COAST BY LATE AFTERNOON AND
EARLY THIS EVENING. GENERAL MOVEMENT OF THE SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE TO THE SOUTH AT 10 TO 15 KTS. SCT TO BKN CLOUD
BASES RANGING FROM 2.5 TO 4K FT WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE MID
EVENING HOURS BECOMING MAINLY SCT AT 25K FT AFTER SUNSET. WINDS WILL
CONTINUE FROM THE WEST NORTHWEST 5 TO 10 KNOTS THIS AFTERNOON
BECOMING NORTHWEST TO NORTH AT 5 KNOTS OR LESS OVERNIGHT. 32/EE

&&

.MARINE...HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE NORTH CENTRAL GULF WILL CONTINUE TO
WEAKEN AND SHIFT SOUTHWEST THROUGH THE WEEKEND AND EARLY NEXT WEEK
GIVING WAY TO MOSTLY A NORTHWEST TO NORTH WIND OVER THE NORTH
CENTRAL GULF THROUGH TONIGHT...THEN NORTHEAST EARLY MON...SHIFTING
SOUTH IN THE AFTERNOON. WINDS WILL RANGE FROM 10 TO 15 KNOTS TONIGHT
AND EARLY MONDAY WITH HIGHER GUSTS...POSSIBLY UP TO 35 TO 45 KNOTS
WITH SOME OF THE STRONGER THUNDERSTORMS THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT.
A WEAKENING FRONTAL BOUNDARY WILL MOVE SOUTH AND STALL NEAR THE
COAST ON MONDAY THEN LINGER NEAR THE COAST THROUGH MID WEEK. THIS
PATTERN WILL GIVE WAY TO MOSTLY A NORTHERLY FLOW AT NIGHT AS THE
BOUNDARY MOVES OFFSHORE BECOMING WEST TO SOUTHWEST AT 10 TO 15 KTS
DURING THE DAY AS THE BOUNDARY MOVES BACK NORTH WITH DAYTIME
HEATING. SEAS WILL RANGE FROM 2 TO 3 FEET. AT THIS TIME THE LONGER
RANGE MODEL GUIDANCE DEPICTS A STRONG EASTERLY FLOW MOSTLY FROM A
TIGHTER PRESSURE GRADIENT BETWEEN HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING OVER THE
WESTERN ATLANTIC AND EASTERN GULF AND A LINGERING SFC TROF OF LOW
PRESSURE OVER THE SOUTHEAST STATES. AS A RESULT SEAS WILL RANGE FROM
4 TO 6 FEET OUT TO 60 NM LATE IN THE WEEK. 32/EE

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...AN UNSETTLED WEATHER PATTERN WILL CONTINUE THROUGH
TONIGHT AS A RARE LATE SUMMER COLD FRONT APPROACHES THE AREA
FROM THE NORTH AND DROPS DOWN TO THE COAST OR JUST OFFSHORE
TONIGHT. THE BOUNDARY WILL THEN REMAIN NEARLY STATIONARY NEAR THE COAST
MONDAY INTO EARLY TUESDAY...WITH DRIER AIR FILTERING INTO INTERIOR
PORTIONS OF SOUTHWEST ALABAMA AND SOUTHEAST MISSISSIPPI. THE DRIER AIR
WILL BE LESS NOTICEABLE NEAR THE COAST...HOWEVER. WHILE AFTERNOON
RELATIVE HUMIDITY VALUES WILL BE LOWER OVER THE NEXT COUPLE DAYS...
ESPECIALLY OVER THE INTERIOR...NO FIRE WEATHER CONCERNS ARE EXPECTED
AS THE RELATIVE HUMIDITY IS EXPECTED TO STAY ABOVE CRITICAL THRESHOLDS.
