AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MOBILE AL
503 AM CST FRI FEB 11 2011

.SHORT TERM (TODAY AND TONIGHT)...LOW CLOUDS WILL CONTINUE TO
DISSIPATE AND SHIFT SOUTH OF THE AREA THIS MORNING. MEANWHILE...SFC
HIGH PRESSURE WILL CONTINUE TO BUILD IN FROM THE WEST. THIS WILL KEEP
WINDS OUT OF THE NORTHWEST WHICH WILL CONTINUE TO ADVECT COLD AND
DRY AIR INTO THE AREA. THIS WILL KEEP TEMPS IN THE UPPER 40S INLAND
TO LOW 50S NEAR THE COAST. NORTH WINDS OF 5 TO 10 MPH WILL ALSO MAKE
IT FEEL EVEN COLDER. A WEAK SHORTWAVE IS EXPECTED PASS THROUGH
TONIGHT...HOWEVER NO PRECIP IS EXPECTED DUE TO THE DRY AIRMASS IN
PLACE. SFC HIGH PRESSURE WILL REMAIN TO OUR WEST TONIGHT...KEEPING A
LIGHT NORTHERLY FLOW IN PLACE THAT WILL KEEP THE BL FROM COMPLETELY
DECOUPLING AND HOLD TEMPS UP SLIGHTLY. OVERNIGHT LOWS WILL FALL INTO
THE LOW TO MID 20S INLAND TO LOW 30S NEAR THE COAST. 13/JC

(SATURDAY AND SUNDAY)...HIGH PRESSURE RIDGE WILL REMAIN OVER THE
REGION OVER THE WEEKEND...WITH MOSTLY CLEAR SKIES AND GRADUALLY
MODERATING TEMPERATURES EXPECTED. LIGHT NORTHERLY WINDS WILL BECOME
MORE WEST TO SOUTHWESTERLY BY LATE SUNDAY AS THE HIGH SLIPS JUST TO
THE SOUTH OVER THE GULF OF MEXICO. DAYTIME HIGH TEMPS SUNDAY IN THE
MID TO UPPER 50S ACROSS THE ENTIRE FCST AREA...THEN EXPECTED TO BE IN
THE LOW TO MID 60S ON SUNDAY. OVERNIGHT MINS SATURDAY NIGHT WILL
STILL BE RATHER COLD HOWEVER...POSSIBLY DOWN INTO THE MID TO UPPER 20
OVER THE INTERIOR AND LOW TO MID 30S ALONG THE COAST. DEPENDING ON
WHEN THE WINDS START TO BECOME MORE WEST TO SOUTHWESTERLY...SATURDAY
NIGHT MINS COULD BE SEVERAL DEGREES WARMER THAN JUST NOTED AND WE
WILL MONITOR THIS. 12/DS

.LONG TERM (MONDAY THROUGH THURSDAY)...NO MAJOR CHANGES TO PREVIOUS
FCST THINKING FOR THE LONG TERM PERIOD. AN UPPER RIDGE IS STILL
EXPECTED TO BE ADVANCING STEADILY EASTWARD ACROSS THE WESTERN AND
CENTRAL UNITED STATES THROUGH TUESDAY. THE NORTHWESTERLY FLOW ALOFT
ASSOCIATED WITH THIS FEATURE WILL ALLOW FOR A WEAK FRONTAL BOUNDARY
TO DROP ACROSS THE SOUTHEASTERN STATES MONDAY NIGHT. BUT AS UPPER
FLOW BECOMES MORE ZONAL BY EARLY WEDNESDAY...THE COOLER HIGH PRESSURE
IN THE WAKE OF THIS BOUNDARY WILL SLIDE MORE TO THE EAST OFF THE
EASTERN SEABOARD...THUS KEEPING THE COLDER TEMPS WELL TO OUR NORTH
AND EAST. THE SFC HIGH MOVES OFF THE EAST COAST AND SETS UP SHOP
SIMILAR TO A SUMMER TYPE BERMUDA HIGH PATTERN LATE WEDNESDAY THROUGH
THURSDAY...BRINGING A PERSISTENT SOUTHEAST TO SOUTH WIND FLOW TO THE
REGION. WITH THIS...A WARMING TREND WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE FCST
PERIOD. TEMPERATURES WILL BE NEAR NORMAL MONDAY AND TUESDAY...WITH
LOWS IN THE UPPER 30S AND LOWER 40S AND HIGHS IN THE LOW TO MID 60S.
DAYTIME HIGHS WILL RISE TO SEVERAL DEGREES ABOVE NORMAL...WITH HIGHS
AROUND 70 DEGREES...BY WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY...WITH SOME INLAND
LOCATIONS POSSIBLY REACHING THE MID 70S AND IMMEDIATE COASTAL
SECTIONS MORE LIKELY TO TOP OUT IN THE UPPER 60S. BY WEDNESDAY
NIGHT...MIN TEMPS WILL LIKELY BE AROUND 5 TO 10 DEGREES ABOVE NORMAL
WITH LOWS IN THE MID TO UPPER 40S. A FORECAST CONCERN FOR LATE IN THE
PERIOD WILL BE POSSIBLE FOG ADVECTION INTO THE AREA FROM THE
SOUTH...AS A LIGHT SOUTHERLY FLOW OVER THE COOL NORTHERN GULF WATERS
IS A KNOWN FOG PRODUCING PATTERN. WHILE NOT IN THE FCST AT THIS
TIME...FOG LOOKS TO BE POSSIBLE DURING THE EARLY MORNING HOURS BOTH
WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY...ESPECIALLY NEAR THE COAST. 12/DS

&&

.AVIATION (12Z ISSUANCE)...VFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED THROUGH THE
PERIOD AS HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS ACROSS THE AREA. 13/JC

&&

.MARINE...HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE SOUTH CENTRAL STATES WILL CONTINUE
TO MOVE SOUTHEAST THROUGH THE WEEKEND. A LIGHT TO MODERATE NORTHERLY
FLOW WILL BECOME WESTERLY LATE IN THE WEEKEND AS THE HIGH MOVES
SOUTH OF THE MARINE AREA AND DISSIPATES. A NORTHERLY FLOW DEVELOPS
NEXT WEEK AS ANOTHER AREA OF HIGH PRESSURE MOVES ACROSS THE
SOUTHEAST STATES. 13/JC

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD INTO THE REGION THROUGH
THE WEEKEND BRINGING FIRST COLDER AND DRIER AIR...THEN A RETURN
TO MORE SEASONABLE TEMPERATURES BY SUNDAY. AFTERNOON RELATIVE
HUMIDITIES WILL DROP BELOW CRITICAL LEVELS OVER THE NORTHWEST FLORIDA
PANHANDLE BOTH TODAY AND SATURDAY FOR A LONG DURATION. A RED FLAG
WARNING WILL BE IN EFFECT THIS AFTERNOON FOR THAT AREA...AND A FIRE
WEATHER WATCH IS IN EFFECT FOR SATURDAY AFTERNOON. THIS WATCH WILL
LIKELY BE UPGRADED TO A RED FLAG WARNING AS WELL. RELATIVE HUMIDITIES
MAY DROP BRIEFLY BELOW CRITICAL LEVELS OVER SOUTHWEST AND SOUTH
CENTRAL ALABAMA BOTH TODAY AND SATURDAY AFTERNOONS...BUT WILL NOT
SATISFY DURATION REQUIREMENTS. 12/DS
