A WINTER STORM WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT FROM SUNDAY AFTERNOON
THROUGH MONDAY MORNING. 

A WINTER STORM SYSTEM WILL ORGANIZE TO THE WEST OF THIS AREA AND MOVE
OVER A COLD DOME OF AIR ON SUNDAY.  PRECIPITATION SHOULD START OUT
AS A MIX OF SLEET AND RAIN JUST BEFORE NOON SUNDAY...WEST OF I-65.
AS TEMPERATURES WARM SLIGHTLY DURING THE AFTERNOON...A BRIEF
CHANGEOVER TO ALL RAIN IS POSSIBLE EXCEPT A MIX OF SLEET AND RAIN MAY
CONTINUE ALONG AND NORTH OF HIGHWAY 84.

PRECIPITATION RATES WILL INCREASE SUNDAY EVENING AS TEMPERATURES FALL.
A CHANGE BACK TO A MIX OF FREEZING RAIN AND SLEET...POSSIBLY MIXED WITH
SOME SNOW NORTH OF HIGHWAY 84...WITH AREAS SOUTH OF A WIGGINS CITRONELLE
BREWTON ANDALUSIA LINE MAINLY RAIN. 

AT THIS TIME WE ARE VERY CONCERNED THAT A SIGNIFICANT AREA OF
ICING COULD FORM ON TREES...POWER LINES...BRIDGES AND OVERPASSES
ALONG AND NORTH OF THE WIGGINS TO ANDALUSIA LINE FROM SUNDAY EVENING
THROUGH SUNRISE MONDAY. TRYING TO PINPOINT THE EXACT AREA OF ICING IS
DIFFICULT...HOWEVER THE POTENTIAL EXIST AND PLANS SHOULD BE MADE FOR
THE POTENTIAL LOSS OF POWER AND ICY ROADS. ICE ACCUMULATIONS COULD BE
AS MUCH AS ONE QUARTER OF AN INCH.

AS PRECIPITATION ENDS FROM THE WEST ON MONDAY MORNING...THE ICE
WILL BEGIN TO MELT AND TEMPERATURES WILL WARM INTO THE 50S BY
AFTERNOON.

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MOBILE AL
1140 AM CST FRI JAN 7 2011

.AVIATION UPDATE (07/18Z ISSUANCE)...VFR THROUGH PERIOD.

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

.SHORT TERM (TODAY AND TONIGHT)...A NICE WARM UP ON TAP TODAY AFTER
A COLD START THIS MORNING WITH TEMPS STARTING IN THE LOW TO MID 30S
IN MOST SPOTS. A SOUTHWEST FLOW AHEAD OF APPROACHING COLD FRONT WILL
HELP TEMPS WARM INTO THE LOW AND MID 60S ACROSS THE GULF COAST. THE
INCREASING PRESSURE GRADIENT BETWEEN BUILDING HIGH PRESSURE AND LOW
PRESSURE ACROSS THE MID ATLANTIC WILL CREATE BREEZY CONDITIONS WITH
SOUTHWEST WINDS OF 15 TO 20 MPH DURING THE AFTERNOON. THE FRONT WILL
MOVE THROUGH THIS EVENING BRINGING ANOTHER SHOT OF COLD AND DRY AIR
INTO THE REGION. LOWS TONIGHT WILL FALL INTO THE LOW 30S INLAND TO
LOW 40S ALONG THE COAST. 13/JC

.(SATURDAY THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT)...SINCE YESTERDAY AT THIS TIME...
MODELS HAVE COME INTO MORE AGREEMENT WITH REGARD TO TRACK...
INTENSITY AND TIMING OF AN AREA OF LOW PRESSURE THAT IS EXPECTED TO
MOVE EAST ACROSS THE NORTHEASTERN GULF WATERS OFF LA/MS/AL/NWFL
BETWEEN SUNDAY AFTERNOON AND MONDAY AFTERNOON. FORECAST THIS MORNING
IS NOT TOO DIFFERENT FROM THAT OF YESTERDAY AFTERNOON. A LARGE RIDGE
OF COLD HIGH PRESSURE BEGINS TO BUILD FROM THE PLAINS INTO THE
SOUTHEAST STATES ON SATURDAY. DRY CONDITIONS CONTINUE OVER THE
FORECAST AREA THROUGH SATURDAY WITH GENERALLY SEASONABLE TEMPERATURES
TRENDING COOLER AS THE COOL SURFACE HIGH BUILDS INTO THE REGION. A
STRONG SHORTWAVE TROF ADVANCING ACROSS THE SOUTHWESTERN STATES LEADS
TO SURFACE LOW PRESSURE DEVELOPMENT OVER NORTHERN MEXICO...WHICH AS
WE SAID IS EXPECTED TO ADVANCE EASTWARD...AFFECTING THE GULF COASTAL
REGION THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT. AS MENTIONED...THE PLACEMENT AND TRACK
OF THE SURFACE LOW HAS COME INTO MUCH BETTER AGREEMENT AMONG THE
GFS/ECMWF/GEM...AND IS ALSO REMAINS CLOSE TO CURRENT HPC GRAPHICS.

EXPECT THE SURFACE LOW TO MOVE ALONG THE FAR NORTHWESTERN GULF SUNDAY
MORNING TO SOUTHEASTERN LA COASTAL AREA BY LATE SUNDAY
AFTERNOON...THEN TO CROSS THE LOCAL MARINE AREA SUNDAY NIGHT. WILL
HAVE DRY CONDITIONS CONTINUING THROUGH SATURDAY EVENING...THEN SMALL
TO LOW END CHANCE POPS OVER MUCH OF THE AREA LATE SATURDAY NIGHT.
MODEL GUIDANCE FOR SATURDAY NIGHT IS NOW SLIGHTLY COLDER FOR
OVERNIGHT LOWS OVER THE INTERIOR PORTION OF THE AREA...IN THE UPPER
20S MOST LOCATIONS. MODEL SOUNDINGS CONTINUE TO SHOW AN ALTO DECK
AND A FAIRLY DRY SUBCLOUD LAYER OVER INTERIOR ZONES BY LATE SATURDAY
NIGHT...WITH THE WET BULB REMAINING SLIGHTLY BELOW ZERO BELOW THE
CLOUD DECK OVER THE NORTHERN PORTIONS OF THE FCST AREA. THE
GFS/ECMWF/GEM ALL CONTINUE TO BRING IN LIGHT PRECIPITATION LATE
SATURDAY NIGHT AND CURRENT FCST PACKAGE CONTINUES TO HAVE THIS
PRECIPITATION REMAINING LIQUID OVER THE SOUTHERN TWO THIRDS OF THE
FCST AREA...AND A MIX OF LIGHT SNOW...RAIN AND SLEET OVER NORTHERN
THIRD OF THE FCST AREA.

AS THE OVERRUNNING INCREASES WITH THE SURFACE LOW ADVANCING
EASTWARD...POPS INCREASE TO LIKELY OVER NEARLY ALL OF THE FORECAST
AREA ON SUNDAY AND CONTINUE THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT...AND THIS IS WHEN
WE EXPECT THE HEAVIEST PCPN. OVER THE INTERIOR PORTION OF THE AREA ON
SUNDAY...MODEL SOUNDINGS STILL SHOWING AN ELEVATED LAYER ALOFT FROM
ROUGHLY 675-900 MB WARMING TO A FEW DEGREES ABOVE FREEZING DURING THE
DAY...WITH ABOUT A 100 MB DEEP SUBFREEZING LAYER BENEATH...WHILE
CLOSER TO THE COAST SOUNDINGS DO NOT HAVE THE SUBFREEZING LOW LEVEL
LAYER. THIS SHOULD ALLOW FOR THE PCPN ON SUNDAY TO BE A MIX OF
RAIN...SNOW AND SLEET OVER NORTHERN TWO THIRDS OF THE FCST
AREA...WITH RAIN ELSEWHERE. THE SOUNDINGS INDICATE HIGH LIKELIHOOD OF
AT LEAST MIXED PRECIPITATION CONTINUING THROUGH MUCH OF THE DAY OVER
THE INTERIOR PORTION OF THE FCST AREA. IT APPEARS MORE LIKELY THAT
THE PREDOMINANT TYPE OF PCPN WILL BE SLEET OR EVEN POSSIBLY FREEZING
RAIN OVER THE INTERIOR ZONES ON SUNDAY...AND WE WILL HAVE TO KEEP AN
EYE ON MODEL SOUNDING TRENDS AS WE NEAR THE EVENT.

BOTH THE GFS AND ECMWF SOUNDINGS CONTINUE TO SHOW WARMING IN THE
LOWEST LAYERS OF THE ATMOSPHERE AFTER MIDNIGHT SUNDAY NIGHT...WITH
THE GFS ELIMINATING THE LOW LEVEL SUBFREEZING LAYER OVER INTERIOR
ZONES BY AROUND 12Z MONDAY. WILL CONTINUE WITH MIXED PRECIPITATION
OVER NORTHERNMOST ZONES SUNDAY NIGHT...TRANSITIONING TO PURELY
LIQUID BY AROUND SUNRISE MONDAY...BUT THIS COULD CHANGE WITH A NEED
TO STAY WITH A MIX INLAND DURING THE ENTIRE NIGHT. AT THIS TIME...WE
ARE NOT EXPECTING ANY SIGNIFICANT ACCUMULATION OF WINTRY PCPN...BUT
WITH COLDER TEMPS NOW EXPECTED THAN FROM PREVIOUS FCST CYCLE...COULD
SEE SOME ACCRETION ON EXPOSED SURFACES AND BRIDGES. WILL CONTINUE TO
MONITOR THIS.

HIGH TEMPERATURES ON SATURDAY EXPECTED TO BE IN THE LOW/MID
50S...WITH SATURDAY NIGHT LOWS EXPECTED TO BE IN THE UPPER 20S INLAND
AND LOWER 30S ALONG THE COAST. SUNDAY HIGH TEMPS EXPECTED TO BE IN
THE LOW/MID 40S INLAND...UPPER 40S/LOW 50S ALONG THE COAST. SUNDAY
NIGHT LOWS SHOULD BE IN THE LOWER 30S FAR INTERIOR TO LOWER 40S
COASTAL. 12/DS

&&

.LONG TERM (MONDAY THROUGH THURSDAY)...THE SURFACE LOW EXITS TO THE
EAST ON MONDAY WITH PRECIPITATION TAPERING OFF OVER THE FORECAST
AREA BY MONDAY NIGHT. STILL HAVE CHALLENGES WITH PRECIPITATION TYPE
ON MONDAY...BUT GFS MODEL SOUNDINGS MOSTLY INDICATE A COLD LIGHT
RAIN OR DRIZZLE...BUT A FEW FLURRIES COULD BE POSSIBLE OVER INTERIOR
ZONES. A LARGE SURFACE HIGH BUILDS INTO THE REGION TUESDAY THROUGH
THURSDAY WITH BELOW SEASONABLE TEMPERATURES CONTINUING THROUGH THE
PERIOD. 12/DS

&&

.AVIATION 07/12Z ISSUANCE)...VFR CONDITIONS EXPECTED THROUGH THE
TAF PERIOD. SOUTHWEST WINDS WILL BECOME BREEZY DURING THE AFTERNOON
BEFORE DECREASING TONIGHT. 13/JC

&&

.MARINE...MODERATE TO STRONG WESTERLY FLOW WILL DEVELOP AHEAD OF AN
APPROACHING COLD FRONT TODAY. THE COLD FRONT IS EXPECTED TO MOVE
THROUGH THE MARINE AREA TONIGHT WITH A STRONG NORTHWEST FLOW
DEVELOPING IN ITS WAKE THROUGH SATURDAY MORNING. NORTHERLY FLOW WILL
DECREASE ON SATURDAY AS HIGH PRESSURE MOVES ACROSS THE NORTHERN
GULF. BY LATE IN THE WEEKEND...A DEVELOPING LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM
TRACKS EASTWARD OVER THE NORTHERN GULF. WINDS WILL INCREASE AND SEAS
WILL BUILD LATE IN THE WEEKEND AS THE LOW APPROACHES. THE WORST
CONDITIONS FOR STRONG WINDS AND HIGHS SEAS WILL BE SUNDAY. WINDS
DECREASE AND SEAS SUBSIDE BY MONDAY AS THE LOW MOVES AWAY. 13/JC

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...A DRY WEST TO NORTHWEST FLOW CONTINUES OVER THE AREA

THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR PORTIONS OF SOUTHEAST
MISSISSIPPI...SOUTHWEST AND SOUTH CENTRAL ALABAMA...THE WESTERN
FLORIDA PANHANDLE...AND THE ADJACENT GULF COASTAL WATERS OF
ALABAMA AND NORTHWEST FLORIDA.

.DAY ONE...TODAY AND TONIGHT.

STRONG WINDS WILL CONTINUE TO CREATE HAZARDOUS CONDITIONS FOR SMALL
CRAFT THROUGH TONIGHT.

THERE IS AN INCREASED RISK OF WILDFIRES TODAY DUE TO LOW RELATIVE
HUMIDITY.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY.

CHANCES FOR PRECIPITATION WILL INCREASE OVER THE UPCOMING WEEKEND AS
ANOTHER LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM DEVELOPS OVER THE WESTERN GULF AND MOVES
EAST ACROSS THE FAR NORTHERN GULF THROUGH MONDAY. WITH ATTENDANT
COLD AIR IN PLACE OVER THE INTERIOR SECTIONS OF MISSISSIPPI AND
ALABAMA...THIS WILL MAKE FOR A CHALLENGING FORECAST.

THE EXACT TRACK OF THIS LOW PRESSURE IS CRITICAL. A TRACK FARTHER
TO THE SOUTH OVER THE GULF WILL RESULT IN A MORE SIGNIFICANT CHANCE
FOR FROZEN PRECIPITATION ON SUNDAY. CURRENTLY...THERE IS A POTENTIAL
FOR A WINTRY MIX OF PRECIPITATION FOR AREAS ALONG AND NORTH OF U.S.
HIGHWAY 84 OVER THE INTERIOR COUNTIES OF SOUTHEAST MISSISSIPPI AND
SOUTHWEST ALABAMA. LIGHT RAIN MOVING IN FROM THE WEST LATE SATURDAY
NIGHT COULD CHANGE OVER TO A MIX OF RAIN AND LIGHT SLEET NORTH OF
HIGHWAY 84 EARLY SUNDAY MORNING...WITH A MIX OF RAIN...LIGHT SLEET
AND LIGHT SNOW POSSIBLE THROUGH LATE SUNDAY NIGHT.  RIGHT NOW
MEASURABLE SLEET OR SNOW IS NOT EXPECTED...BUT IF THE LOW PRESSURE
SYSTEM BECOMES STRONGER OR TRACKS FARTHER TO THE SOUTH...THIS
SITUATION COULD CHANGE.

TO THE SOUTH OF HIGHWAY 84...A COLD RAIN IS EXPECTED. DAYTIME HIGHS
WILL BE RATHER COOL OVER THE LATE PART OF THE WEEKEND...WITH HIGHS
ONLY IN THE UPPER 30S INLAND TO MID 40S AT THE COAST ON SUNDAY.

WHILE FORECAST CONFIDENCE IS INCREASING...UNCERTAINTIES REMAIN
CONCERNING THE STRENGTH... TIMING...AND TRACK OF THE LOW PRESSURE
SYSTEM. STAY TUNED FOR FURTHER UPDATES ON THIS DEVELOPING WEATHER
SITUATION.

OVER THE COASTAL WATERS...WINDS AND SEAS WILL INCREASE SUNDAY INTO
MONDAY AS THE LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM TRACKS EASTWARD ACROSS THE REGION.
A SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY WILL LIKELY BE REQUIRED AGAIN SUNDAY INTO
MONDAY FOR HAZARDOUS WIND AND SEA CONDITIONS.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

SPOTTER ACTIVATION WILL NOT BE NECESSARY THROUGH SATURDAY.
ACTIVATION MAY BE REQUIRED SUNDAY AND SUNDAY NIGHT OVER THE INLAND
COUNTIES OF SOUTHEAST MISSISSIPPI AND SOUTHERN ALABAMA FOR WINTRY
WEATHER REPORTS.
