NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MOBILE AL
243 PM CDT FRI MAY 13 2011

.SHORT TERM...(TONIGHT THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT)SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS DEVELOPING  ACROSS SOUTHEAST MISSISSIPPI AND SOUTHWEST
ALABAMA THIS AFTERNOON WILL LIKELY BE ONGOING AT SUNSET SCATTERED
ACROSS THE ENTIRE FORECAST AREA BUT TRENDING DOWN ON INTENSITY AS
NIGHT FALLS.  MIGHT BE A FEW STRONG OR POSSIBLY SEVERE STORMS THIS
AFTERNOON BUT OVERALL THE RISK FOR SEVERE IS FAIRLY LOW WITH HAIL
AND STRONG GUSTY SURFACE WINDS NEAR THE STRONGER STORMS INTO THE
LATE AFTERNOON. LOOKS LIKE CONVECTION WILL EASE UP SOME EARLY THIS
EVENING THEN REDEVELOP AS THE COLD FRONT APPROACHES LATER THIS
EVENING...BUT NOT EXPECTED TO BECOME SEVERE.  THE COLD FRONT SHOULD
BE NEAR MOBILE AND EXTENDING NORTHEAST ALONG INTERSTATE 65 AROUND
MIDNIGHT OR SO. SHOWERS GRADUALLY ENDING OVER SOUTHEAST MISSISSIPPI
AND SOUTHWEST ALABAMA AS THE FRONT NEARS PENSACOLA AROUND SUNRISE.
MAY BE SOME LINGERING SHOWERS INTO EARLY AFTERNOON OVER THE FAR
EASTERN ZONES. TEMPERATURES WILL COOL AS THE FRONT MOVES EAST AND
THE HIGH BUILDS IN. SATURDAY AND SUNDAY HIGHS AROUND 80 WITH ANOTHER
SURGE OF COOLER AIR RIDING SOUTHEAST AROUND THE UPPER LOW WILL MOVE
OVER THE FORECAST AREA MONDAY. THIS COOLER AIR SURFACE AND ALOFT MAY
BE JUST ENOUGH TO GENERATE A FEW THUNDERSTORMS OVER THE NORTHEAST
HALF ON MONDAY...SOME HAIL AND GUSTY WINDS ARE NOT OUT OF THE
QUESTION. MONDAY HIGHS IN THE MIDDLE 70S WITH A LOW MONDAY NIGHT
UPPER 40S TO LOWER 50S. /11

.LONG TERM...(TUESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY)AFTER A COOL START TO THE DAY
TUESDAY AND A COOL(FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR) AFTERNOON...ANOTHER COOL
NIGHT TUESDAY NIGHT BEFORE TEMPERATURES BEGIN TO WARM BACK TO NEAR
NORMAL. AN APPROACHING UPPER SYSTEM AND SURFACE FRONT WILL BRING A
CHANCE FOR THUNDERSTORMS BACK TO THE AREA. /11

&&

.AVIATION...MVFR CONDITIONS OVER MOST OF THE AREA THIS AFTERNOON...A
FEW SPOTS OF VFR AND A FEW SPOTS OF IFR. IFR IN AND NEAR THE SHOWERS

RAIN FALL OCCURRED. COLD FRONT CROSSING THE AREA OVERNIGHT WILL TURN
THE WINDS TO WEST THEN NORTHERLY AS CEILINGS BECOME MVFR SATURDAY
MORNING. /11

&&

.MARINE...HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE EASTERN GULF TODAY WILL WEAKEN AND
MOVE EAST AS A COLD FRONT MOVES ACROSS THE MARINE AREA TONIGHT.

THE REMAINDER OF THIS AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING. SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS NOT ENDING OVER THE EASTERN ZONES UNTIL CLOSER TO
DAYLIGHT AS THE FRONT PASSES.  THE FRONT MOVING EAST OF THE
SOUTHEAST MARINE WATERS SATURDAY MORNING. A MODERATE TO STRONG WEST
TO NORTHWEST FLOW THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT. WINDS SHOULD REMAIN JUST
BELOW SMALL CRAFT ADVISORIES BUT MAY OCCASIONALLY SEE SUSTAINED
WINDS NEAR 20 KNOTS. WINDS BECOME MORE WESTERLY SUNDAY NIGHT THEN
TURN MORE NORTHWEST AS ANOTHER SURGE OF COOLER AIR FLOWS SOUTHEAST
OVER THE GULF WATERS DURING THE DAY MONDAY. /11

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE AREA
THIS AFTERNOON WILL PROVIDE SOME SPOTTY RAINFALL AMOUNTS UP AROUND A
HALF INCH. SOME PATCHES OF FOG DEVELOPING THIS EVENING IN ADVANCE OF
THE COLD FRONT.  COLD FRONT CROSSING THE AREA OVERNIGHT WILL BRING
COOLER AIR TO THE AREA OVER THE WEEKEND AND INTO THE MIDDLE OF NEXT
