AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION

.UPDATE...DOWNGRADED AREAS OF FOG TO PATCHY FOG...WIND IS KEEPING
MOST OF THE FOG ALOFT AS LOW STRATUS. /77

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 559 PM CST WED FEB 22 2012/

AVIATION UPDATE (23/06Z ISSUANCE)...UPDATING FORECAST AS MVFR
WITH TEMPO GROUPS OF IFR. CANNOT SUPPORT MUCH LOWER THAN THAT. /77

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 352 PM CST WED FEB 22 2012/

SHORT TERM (TONIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT)...NOT MUCH CHANGE IN THINKING
FOR THE FCST THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE WEEK. SOUTHERLY FLOW
REMAINS FIRMLY IN PLACE ON THURSDAY...SO EXPECT AREAS OF FOG LATE
TONIGHT INTO EARLY THURSDAY MORNING BEFORE BURNING OFF AROUND OR JUST
AFTER SUNRISE. WINDS WILL BE UP SLIGHTLY FROM LAST NIGHT...SO FOR NOW
WE DON'T SEE THE FOG BEING AS DENSE AS LAST NIGHT...BUT THERE WILL
LIKELY STILL BE SOME PATCHY DENSE FOG ESPECIALLY NEAR THE COAST.
THEREAFTER...A COLD FRONT WILL BEGIN TO ADVANCE TOWARD THE AREA
LATE THURSDAY AFTERNOON AND THURSDAY EVENING BIN RESPONSE TO THE
UPPER LOW OVER THE BAJA EJECTING EASTWARD. GUIDANCE HAS NOT HONED IN
ON ONE PARTICULAR SOLUTION WITH THE GFS AND NAM EJECTING THE COLD
FRONT AND ASSOCIATED PRECIPITATION EASTWARD MORE QUICKLY...WHILE THE
ECMWF AND CANADIAN MODELS FAVOR A SLOWER SOLUTION. WILL MAINTAIN THE
SLOWER SOLUTION TRACK FOR NOW BASED UPON CURRENT BOUNDARY INITIAL
CONDITIONS AND CONTINUITY WITH SURROUNDING OFFICES. AS SUCH...WE
EXPECT THE FRONT TO BE MOVING INTO NWRN MS BY 6PM THURSDAY EVENING
AND APPROACHING OUR NWRN MS/AL COUNTIES BY AROUND 6AM FRIDAY. A
DEVELOPING LINE OF THUNDERSTORMS IN ADVANCE OF THE FRONT WILL BE
MOVING STEADILY TOWARD THE FCST AREA THURSDAY NIGHT...BUT MOST
SIGNIFICANT EFFECTS OF THIS LINE WILL MOVE ACROSS THE FCST AREA ON
FRIDAY. AS THE LINE APPROACHES...SOME ISOLATED TO SCATTERED DISCRETE
TSTM CELLS COULD DEVELOP ACROSS THE REGION FROM THURSDAY AFTERNOON
THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT. SHEAR WILL BE STRONG ENOUGH THAT IF ANY OF
THE STORMS MANAGE TO BECOME STRONG...THAT ROTATION IS POSSIBLE AND
THE STORMS WILL BE MONITORED FOR THE POTENTIAL FOR ISOLATED
TORNADOES. AS THE LINE OF STORM MOVES ACROSS THE FCST AREA LATE
THURSDAY NIGHT AND FRIDAY...SEVERE THREAT IS ALSO POSSIBLE...BUT MORE
IN THE FORM OF STRAIGHT LINE DAMAGING WINDS AND LARGE HAIL. DYNAMICS
AND INSTABILITIES ARE NOT AS STRONG AS THE LAST EVENT...SO ANY SVR
POTENTIAL STILL HAS TO BE EVALUATED. OUR AREA IS OUTLOOKED FOR WHAT
WE CONSIDER A LOW END SLIGHT SEVERE THREAT ON FRIDAY. TEMPERATURES
ARE EXPECTED TO BE ABOVE NORMAL FOR THIS TIME OF THE YEAR IN ADVANCE
OF THE FRONT. 12/DS

LONG TERM (SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY)...THE FRONT WILL MOVE ON EAST
OF THE FCST AREA BY SATURDAY...WITH COOLER AND DRIER HIGH PRESSURE
BUILDING JUST NORTH OF THE AREA. UPPER FLOW REMAINS FAIRLY ZONAL
HOWEVER...SO THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY IS LIKELY TO NOT MAKE IT TOO FAR
SOUTH INTO THE GULF...AND AS A RESULT WILL LIKELY STILL BE LOOKING AS
SOME CHANCE POPS FROM LATE SUNDAY THROUGH MID WEEK. NO CHANGE TO
TEMPERATURE FCST IN THE LONGER TERM PERIOD. 12/DS

AVIATION (22/18Z TAF ISSUANCE)...MVFR CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL
THROUGHOUT MOST OF THE FLYING AREA THIS AFTERNOON WITH IFR
CONDITIONS EXPECTED NEAR THE COAST.  CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED TO
CONTINUE TO DETERIORATE OVERNIGHT WITH IFR/LIFR CONDITIONS
DEVELOPING ACROSS THE REGION. SOME IMPROVEMENT IS EXPECTED BY MID TO
LATE MORNING AS CEILINGS AND VISIBILITIES GRADUALLY IMPROVE TO MVFR.
/08

MARINE...A BROAD SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL REMAIN OVER THE
NORTHERN GULF THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT ALLOWING A STRENGTHENING
SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW TO DEVELOP. ANTICIPATE CAUTIONARY LEVEL WINDS TO
DEVELOP TONIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY WITH AREAS OF FOG DEVELOPING
TONIGHT OVER OUR INLAND WATERS. PERIODS OF ADVISORY LEVEL WINDS AND
SEAS ARE POSSIBLE THURSDAY AFTERNOON PERSISTING THROUGH LATE MORNING
FRIDAY. A COLD FRONT WILL MOVE ACROSS THE COASTAL WATERS AROUND MID
DAY FRIDAY. STRONG OFFSHORE FLOW WILL DEVELOP IN ITS WAKE AND
ADVISORY LEVEL WINDS AND SEAS MAY PERSIST THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT.
MODERATE SOUTHEAST WINDS WILL DEVELOP SUNDAY AS HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS
IN FROM THE SOUTHEAST. /08

FIRE WEATHER...A RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE NORTHERN GULF WILL
MAINTAIN A MOIST SOUTHERLY FLOW OVER THE AREA THROUGH THURSDAY
WHILE A COLD FRONT APPROACHES FROM THE NORTH. THE COLD FRONT MOVES
THROUGH THE AREA VERY LATE THURSDAY NIGHT INTO FRIDAY MORNING AND USHERS
COOLER AND DRIER AIR INTO THE REGION. AFTERNOON RELATIVE HUMIDITY
REMAIN WELL ABOVE CRITICAL LEVELS THROUGH FRIDAY BUT ARE EXPECTED
TO DROP TO AROUND 25 PERCENT SATURDAY AFTERNOON. 12/DS

520 AM CST WED FEB 22 2012

THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR PORTIONS OF SOUTH CENTRAL
ALABAMA...SOUTHWEST ALABAMA...NORTHWEST FLORIDA AND SOUTHEAST
MISSISSIPPI.

.DAY ONE...TODAY AND TONIGHT

THE PASSAGE OF A DISTURBANCE HIGH IN THE ATMOSPHERE THROUGH THE
COURSE OF THE DAY ALONG WITH SOME DAYTIME INSTABILITY...SUPPORTS AN
INCREASED CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND POSSIBLY SOME THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY.
NO SEVERE WEATHER IS EXPECTED.

ANOTHER ROUND OF FOG EXPECTED TO FORM TONIGHT. FOG WILL LIKELY BE
DENSE AT TIMES.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY

A COLD FRONT ADVANCING SOUTHEASTWARD INTO THE LOWER MISSISSIPPI RIVER
VALLEY LATE THURSDAY IS EXPECTED TO BECOME MORE ACTIVE IN INITIATING
THUNDERSTORMS THURSDAY NIGHT. AT THIS TIME...FORECAST TIMING HAS
A LINE OF STORMS APPROACHING THE INTERIOR SOUTHEAST MISSISSIPPI
ZONES OVERNIGHT. BY NOON FRIDAY...THE FRONT WILL BE NEAR MOBILE AND
BE CHARACTERIZED BY A FAIRLY WELL ORGANIZED LINE OF STORMS CONTINUING
TO PROGRESS EASTWARD ACROSS THE GULF COAST. THE POTENTIAL FOR SEVERE
WEATHER REMAINS IN THE FORECAST FOR THURSDAY NIGHT INTO THE EARLY
HALF OF THE DAY FRIDAY. THE MAIN THREAT BEING DAMAGING STRAIGHT LINE
WINDS.

ANY HEAVY RAINFALL ACTIVITY ASSOCIATED WITH THIS SYSTEM MAKES LOCALIZED
FLOODING POSSIBLE. GIVEN THE RECENT HEAVY RAINFALL EXPERIENCED ACROSS
THE AREA LAST SATURDAY...IT WILL NOT TAKE MUCH FOR AREA RIVERS TO
RESPOND TO ACTION AND ABOVE ONCE AGAIN.

NO HAZARDOUS WEATHER IS FORECAST FRIDAY THROUGH SUNDAY.

CHANCES OF STORMS INCREASE MONDAY AND TUESDAY.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

ACTIVATION OF SKYWARN SEVERE STORM SPOTTER NETWORKS MAY BE REQUIRED
THURSDAY NIGHT.

520 AM CST WED FEB 22 2012

THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR PORTIONS OF THE COASTAL
WATERS OF ALABAMA AND NORTHWEST FLORIDA.

.DAY ONE...TODAY AND TONIGHT

A MODERATE SOUTHWEST FLOW AROUND A GULF HIGH PRESSURE SYSTEM AND A
SPRAWLING LOW DEVELOPING OVER THE CENTRAL AND EASTERN STATES THROUGH THE
DAY FAVORS AN INCREASE IN SOUTHWEST FLOW TO 15 TO 20 KNOTS. OPERATORS OF
SMALL MARINE CRAFT SHOULD EXERCISE CAUTION OVER THE OPEN GULF WATERS
LATER TODAY INTO TONIGHT.

AREAS OF FOG ARE EXPECTED TO FORM TONIGHT OVER AREA BAYS AND NEAR
SHORE WATERS.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY

SOUTHWEST WINDS TO INCREASE THURSDAY AND THURSDAY NIGHT AS A COLD
FRONT APPROACHES THE LOWER MISSISSIPPI RIVER VALLEY. SEAS BUILDING.

COLD FRONT LOOKS TO BRING MARINE IMPACTS FROM A LINE OF STORMS AFTER
DAYBREAK FRIDAY WITH AN EASTWARD MOVEMENT THROUGH THE DAY. SOME OF
THE STORMS COULD BE STRONG TO LOCALLY SEVERE.

FOLLOWING THE FRONTAL PASSAGE FRIDAY MORNING THROUGH EARLY
AFTERNOON...MODERATE TO STRONG OFFSHORE FLOW SETS UP AND CONTINUES
THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT. DUE TO THE STRONG NORTHERLY FETCH...HIGHEST
SEAS WILL POPULATE THE 20 TO 60 NAUTICAL MILE ZONES WHERE HEIGHTS COULD
REACH CLOSE TO 9 FEET BY EARLY SATURDAY MORNING.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

ACTIVATION OF SKYWARN SEVERE STORM SPOTTER NETWORKS MAY BE REQUIRED
THURSDAY NIGHT.
