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

.UPDATED...REMOVED EARLY EVENING WORDING FROM ZONES AND MADE SOME
SLIGHT ADJUSTMENTS WITH REGARD TO TIMING OF THE LINE OF SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS CURRENTLY MOVING INTO OUR NORTHWESTERN ZONES AS IT
MOVES EAST ACROSS THE FCST AREA. CURRENT DATA INDICATES THAT
INSTABILITIES OVER INLAND AREAS HAVE WEAKENED...BUT STILL EXPECT THE
CURRENT LINE OF STORMS CURRENTLY MOVING IN FROM THE WEST TO CONTINUE
EASTWARD ACROSS INTERIOR ZONES...EXITING BY AROUND 12/09Z. WHILE WE
WILL STILL HAVE THE POTENTIAL FOR A STRONG STORM OR TWO ALONG THE
LINE...THE WIDESPREAD THREAT FOR ORGANIZED SEVERE WEATHER APPEARS
LOW. WITH THE LACK OF INSTABILITY...THE STRONGLY SHEARED ENVIRONMENT
HAS BEEN SHOWING A TENDENCY TO SHEAR THE STORMS APART WHENEVER A
STRONGER CELL DEVELOPS. IF THERE WAS MORE INSTABILITY INLAND...WE
WOULD HAVE MORE OF A POTENTIAL FOR SEVERE WEATHER. SPC ONLY HAS A
SLGT SVR OUTLOOK FOR PARTS OF THE FCST AREA...PRIMARILY FOR THE AREA
WHERE THE STRONGER LINE IS AT THE TIME OF THIS TYPING. A COUPLE OF
SECONDARY LINES OF SHOWERS/STORMS HAVE DEVELOPED OUT AHEAD OF THE
PRIMARY LINE OF STORMS...ONE OVER SERN LA AND THE OTHER GENERALLY
ALONG AND SOUTH OF I-65 IN OUR FCST AREA. LATEST RUC DATA INDICATES
THAT CAPE VALUES ALONG THE COASTAL REGIONS OF THE FCST AREA WILL
LIKELY INCREASE TO THE 300-350 J/KG RANGE LATER THIS EVENING AND
THROUGH THE EARLY MORNING HOURS AS THE FRONT APPROACHES. WITH
THIS...ONE (OR BOTH) OF THESE SECONDARY LINES WILL LIKELY BECOME
THE DOMINANT AREAS DURING THE OVERNIGHT WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR THE
STRONGER STORMS. EVEN ALONG THE COAST...CURRENT TRENDS INDICATE THAT
MOST OF THE PCPN WILL BE CLEARING THE AREA TO THE EAST AFTER ABOUT
12/09Z. ONSHORE WINDS ARE ALREADY GUSTING AS HIGH AS 30 KNOTS ACROSS
MUCH OF THE COASTAL FCST AREA WHERE A WIND ADVISORY IS ALREADY IN
EFFECT. AS WINDS SHIFT TO NORTHWESTERLY ACROSS ALL OF THE FCST AREA
IN THE WAKE OF THE FRONT...A WIND ADVISORY WILL BE IN EFFECT
AREAWIDE ON SUNDAY. STILL EXPECTING A HARD FREEZE OVER MUCH OF THE
FCST AREA...MINUS COASTAL LOCATIONS...SUNDAY NIGHT. NO OTHER
CHANGES. 12/DS

.MARINE UPDATE...NO CHANGES TO CWF WITH EVENING UPDATE. WINDS
ALREADY APPROACHING GALE FORCE OVER THE MARINE AREA...WHERE A GALE
WARNING WILL BE IN EFFECT LATER TONIGHT THROUGH MONDAY MORNING. 12/DS

.AVIATION UPDATE (12/00Z ISSUANCE)...NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND EMBEDDED
THUNDERSTORMS WILL MOVE THROUGH...CURRENTLY ENTERING THE NORTHWEST
AND WESTERN PORTIONS OF THE FCST AREA (AROUND 12/03Z)...THEN QUICKLY
MOVING ACROSS THE REGION CLEARING THE REGION...POSSIBLY AS EARLY AS
12/09Z. STRONG GUSTY WIND NEAR THE SURFACE WITH VERTICAL WIND SHEAR
BEING PROBLEMATIC TO AIRCRAFT HANDLING...AS WELL AS VSBY AND CIGS IN
THE VLIFR CAT AT TIMES ALONG THE LINE OF STORMS. AFTER FROPA VERY
STRONG NORTHWEST WIND 22 KNOTS WITH FREQUENT GUSTS TO 30 KNOTS
BEHIND A STRONG COLD FRONT AFTER 12/13Z. LOW CEILINGS MAY CLEAR
QUICKLY BUT BRIEFLY SUNDAY MORNING FOLLOWED BY A LOW STRATUS DECK
BUT WITH VSBY 5 SM TO MORE THAN 6 SM. HIGH CLOUD DECK EXPECTED MOST
OF THE MORNING. 12/DS 77/BD

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

.SHORT TERM (TONIGHT THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT)...THE STRONG ARCTIC COLD
FRONT IS CURRENTLY KNOCKING ON THE DOOR OF THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER AND
WILL CONTINUE TO VERY QUICKLY MOVE EAST INTO OUR AREA TONIGHT.
SCATTERED SHOWERS VIA WARM AIR ADVECTION WILL BEGIN TO SPREAD INTO
WESTERN SECTIONS OF THE AREA EARLY THIS EVENING...FOLLOWED BY THE
MAIN FORCED BAND OF SHOWERS JUST AHEAD OF THE FRONT. THE FRONT IS
FORECAST TO ENTER OUR INLAND SE MS ZONES BY MID EVENING...IN THE
VICINITY OF I-65 BY MIDNIGHT...AND WELL EAST OF THE REGION BY 6 AM
SUNDAY MORNING. THE DEEP UPPER LEVEL TROUGH ACCOMPANYING THE FRONT
WILL PRODUCE AMPLE AMOUNTS OF SHEAR WITH 0-6 KM BULK SHEAR INCREASING
TO 55-65 KT AND 0-1 KM STORM RELATIVE HELICITY OF 300-400 M2/S2.
HOWEVER...INSTABILITY IS FORECAST TO BE MEAGER TO NON EXISTENT AHEAD
OF THE FRONT WITH MOST GUIDANCE ONLY SHOWING A COUPLE HUNDRED J/KG OF
MLCAPE ALONG THE IMMEDIATE COASTLINE. SUCH LITTLE INSTABILITY
TYPICALLY RESULTS IN ANY DEVELOPING UPDRAFT QUICKLY BECOMING TOPPLED
BY THE HIGH SHEAR VALUES. THEREFORE...WE CURRENTLY BELIEVE THAT
THUNDER CHANCES WILL BE LIMITED AND CONFINED TO THE COAST WITH SEVERE
CHANCES LOW AS WELL. GIVEN THE AMOUNT OF WIND PRESENT THROUGH THE LOW
LEVELS OF THE ATMOSPHERE...WOULD NOT BE AT ALL SURPRISED TO SEE SOME
STRONG ISOLATED WIND GUSTS (35-50 MPH) BE TRANSPORTED TO THE SFC BY
SOME OF THE STRONGER CONVECTION. ALL PRECIP IS EXPECTED TO BE EAST OF
THE CWA PRIOR TO 12Z.

TEMPERATURES WILL QUICKLY DROP AFTER THE FRONT AND WILL STRUGGLE TO
REBOUND DURING THE DAY SUNDAY WITH STRONG COLD AIR ADVECTION BRINGING
850 MB TEMPS TO AS LOW AS -11C OVER THE FAR INTERIOR ZONES. LOWS BY
SUNDAY MORNING WILL BE IN THE MID 30S WEST TO MID 40S EAST. HIGHS
SUNDAY ONLY TOPPING OUT AT NEAR 40 NORTH OF HWY 84 TO AROUND 50 ALONG
THE FL PANHANDLE BEACHES. STRONG NW WINDS WILL MAKE IT FEEL LIKE IT
IS IN THE 30S FOR MOST OF THE DAY.

BREEZY SOUTH TO SOUTHWEST GRADIENT WINDS ARE EXPECTED AHEAD OF THE
FRONT TONIGHT...WITH WINDS ALONG THE COAST EXPECTED TO GUST
FREQUENTLY TO 25-30 MPH. THEREFORE...WE HAVE ISSUED A WIND ADVISORY
FOR THE COASTAL COUNTIES BEGINNING AT 8 PM. A WIND ADVISORY WILL GO
IN EFFECT FOR THE REST OF THE CWA STARTING AT 7 AM SUNDAY AS STRONG
NORTHWEST WINDS BEHIND THE FRONT WILL BECOME SUSTAINED AT 15-25 MPH
WITH GUSTS OF 30-35 MPH. FORECAST SOUNDINGS SHOW WINDS ATOP OF THE
MIXED LAYER TOMORROW OF NEAR 35 KT. UNDER SUCH A STRONG COLD AIR
ADVECTION REGIME...THE WIND GUST POTENTIAL IS USUALLY MAXIMIZED.
THEREFORE...A FEW GUSTS TO 40 MPH ARE POSSIBLE. IT IS A GOOD IDEA TO
MAKE SURE LOOSE OBJECTS IN THE YARD...INCLUDING HOLIDAY
DECORATIONS...ARE PROPERLY SECURED.

THE ARCTIC AIRMASS WILL CONTINUE TO POUR INTO THE AREA SUNDAY NIGHT
WITH LOWS DIPPING DOWN TO NEAR 20 INLAND WITH MID TO UPPER 20S CLOSER
TO THE COAST. HAVE EXPANDED THE HARD FREEZE WATCH TO COVER ALL OF SE
MS/SW AND SOUTH CENTRAL AL. THE PRESSURE GRADIENT WILL REMAIN TIGHT
WITH THE SFC RIDGE OVER THE CENTRAL PLAINS AND A DEEP SFC LOW OVER
INTERIOR NEW ENGLAND. BREEZY WINDS WILL PERSIST WITH A WIND ADVISORY
CONTINUING CLOSE TO THE COAST FOR FREQUENT GUSTS TO 25 MPH. WE COULD
SEE WIND CHILLS DOWN INTO THE UPPER SINGLE DIGITS NORTH OF I-10 BY
MONDAY MORNING AND A WIND CHILL ADVISORY MAY BECOME NECESSARY.

WHILE THE UPPER TROUGH BEGINS TO SHIFT WELL EAST BY MONDAY...ALLOWING
FOR 850 MB TEMPS TO REBOUND...THE HEART OF THE LOW LEVEL ARCTIC
AIRMASS WILL SHIFT OVERHEAD AS THE SFC HIGH MOVES EAST. HIGHS ONLY
REACH THE UPPER 30S TO LOWER 40S WITH BREEZY NORTHWEST WINDS OF 15-25
MPH CONTINUING. BY MONDAY NIGHT...WINDS SHOULD FINALLY DECOUPLE WITH
THE SFC RIDGE OVERHEAD. THE LIGHT WINDS COMBINED WITH DEWPOINTS IN
THE SINGLE DIGITS SHOULD ALLOW TEMPS TO DROP INTO THE UPPER TEENS
OVER MUCH OF THE AREA WITH LOWER 20S CLOSER TO THE COAST.

&&

.LONG TERM (TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY)...THE DEEP UPPER LOW OVER THE
EASTERN GREAT LAKES...EXTREME SOUTHEAST ONTARIO...MOVE EASTWARD
ACROSS THE NEW ENGLAND AREA TO NEAR THE NORTHEAST COAST THROUGH
WEDNESDAY.  THE COLD RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE AREA SHIFTS
EASTWARD ALLOWING FOR A RETURN FLOW TO ENSUE...AND A SURFACE LOW
DEVELOPS OVER THE SOUTHERN PLAINS AS THE UPPER PATTERN OVER THE
SOUTHERN STATES BECOMES FAIRLY ZONAL.  AFTER A COLD START TUESDAY
MORNING...TEMPERATURES MODERATE SOMEWHAT BUT HIGHS TUESDAY WILL
STILL BE AROUND TEN DEGREES BELOW SEASONABLE LEVELS.  TEMPERATURES
CONTINUE TO MODERATE TO NEAR SEASONABLE LEVELS WEDNESDAY...THEN
GUIDANCE CONTINUES TO SHOW A RATHER MILD DAY THURSDAY WITH HIGHS IN
THE LOWER SEVENTIES ACROSS MUCH OF THE AREA.  CONTINUE TO PREFER THE
SLOWER ECMWF SOLUTION...AS DOES HPC...WHICH MOVES THE SURFACE LOW
ACROSS THE LOWER/MID MISSISSIPPI RIVER VALLEY THURSDAY NIGHT THEN TO
THE CENTRAL EAST COAST STATES ON FRIDAY...BRINGING A COLD FRONT
THROUGH THE FORECAST AREA.  MODEST ISENTROPIC LIFT SEEN IN THE
295-305 LAYER ON WEDNESDAY SPREADS EASTWARD THROUGH THURSDAY INTO
FRIDAY AHEAD OF THE SURFACE LOW AND AN ASSOCIATED TRAILING FRONT.
WILL HAVE SMALL POPS OVER THE WESTERN PORTION OF THE AREA WEDNESDAY
THEN THE ENTIRE AREA THURSDAY THROUGH FRIDAY. /29

&&

.AVIATION (11/18Z ISSUANCE)...INCREASING MID TO HIGH LEVEL
CLOUDINESS THIS AFTERNOON WITH VFR CONDITIONS CONTINUING THROUGH
12/00Z. BKN TO OVC CEILINGS LOWERING TO AROUND 1.5K FT AFTER 12/00Z
WITH NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND EMBEDDED THUNDERSTORMS OCCURRING
OVERNIGHT. SOME STORMS MAY BE STRONG. A VERY STRONG NORTHWEST FLOW
AT AROUND 22 KNOTS WITH FREQUENT GUSTS TO 30 KNOTS IN THE WAKE OF A
STRONG COLD FRONT AFTER 12/13Z. LOW CEILINGS IN THE WAKE OF THE
FRONT WILL GRADUALLY IMPROVE ON SUNDAY. /22

&&

.MARINE...SOUTHERLY WINDS WILL INCREASE AND SEAS WILL BUILD LATE
THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING AHEAD OF A VERY STRONG COLD FRONT
APPROACHING THE AREA FROM THE NORTHWEST. THE WIND FLOW WILL THEN
SHIFT TO THE NORTHWEST AND BECOME VERY STRONG IN THE WAKE OF THE
FRONT AFTER MIDNIGHT...WITH SUSTAINED WIND SPEEDS OF 30 TO 35 KNOTS
WITH FREQUENT GUSTS TO AROUND 40 KNOTS AFTER MIDNIGHT THROUGH EARLY
MONDAY.

UPGRADED THE MARINE WEATHER MESSAGE AND THE COASTAL WATERS FORECAST
PRODUCTS TO INCLUDE A GALE WARNING WHICH IS NOW IN EFFECT FROM
MIDNIGHT TONIGHT THROUGH EARLY MONDAY MORNING FOR THE COASTAL WATERS
OF ALABAMA AND NORTHWEST FLORIDA OUT TO 60 NM INCLUDING INLAND BAYS
AND SOUNDS.

SEAS WILL INCREASE AS HIGH AS TO 7 TO 10 FEET TONIGHT AND PERSIST
THROUGH EARLY MONDAY. BAY WATERS WILL BE CHOPPY TO ROUGH THIS
EVENING BECOMING VERY ROUGH AFTER MIDNIGHT TONIGHT THROUGH EARLY
MONDAY. WINDS WILL DECREASE MONDAY NIGHT AND TUESDAY AS HIGH
PRESSURE BUILDS ACROSS THE REGION. A MODERATE TO STRONG SOUTHERLY
WIND FLOW WILL REDEVELOP ON WEDNESDAY AS THE HIGH PRESSURE MOVES
EAST OF THE AREA. /22

&&

.FIRE WEATHER... STRONG COLD FRONT WILL MOVE THROUGH THE REGION
TONIGHT...ACCOMPANIED BY A BAND OF SHOWERS AND POSSIBLY A FEW
THUNDERSTORMS. MUCH COLDER AND DRIER AIR FLOWS INTO THE REGION IN
THE WAKE OF THE COLD FRONT. WINDS WILL BE STRONG OUT OF THE NORTHWEST
ON SUNDAY...FREQUENTLY GUSTING TO 25 TO 35 MPH BUT RELATIVE HUMIDITY
WILL GENERALLY STAY ABOVE CRITICAL LEVELS...WITH THE POSSIBLE
EXCEPTION OF THE FLORIDA PANHANDLE. RELATIVE HUMIDITIES WILL DROP TO
15 TO 20 PERCENT MONDAY AFTERNOON WITH BREEZY NORTHWEST WINDS
FREQUENTLY GUSTING TO 20 MPH. HIGH AFTERNOON DISPERSIONS CAN BE
EXPECTED ON SUNDAY AND MONDAY GIVEN THE STRONG WINDS PRESENT IN THE
MIXED LAYER. 34/JFB
