UPDATE
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MOBILE AL
1144 AM CST FRI MAR 2 2012

.AVIATION UPDATE (02/18Z ISSUANCE)...THE OVERALL OUTLOOK FOR THE
NEXT 6 OR SO HOURS IS VFR WITH SCT SHRA/TSRA THROUGH THE
PERIOD...INCREASING IN COVERAGE THROUGH THIS EVENING AND OVERNIGHT.
SQUALL LINE EXPECTED TO BEGIN APPROACHING THE NORTHWEST COUNTY
WARNING AREA AROUND 2200 CST TONIGHT AND PASSING THROUGH THE
SOUTHEAST PART OF THE AREA AROUND 0900 SATURDAY. WE PLAN ON SEEING
SAID SQUALL LINE PASSING MOB/BFM BEGINNING AROUND 0400 CST AND PNS
AROUND 0600 CST ENDING WITH A 2 HOUR WINDOW ENDING 0600 CST AND 0800
CST RESPECTIVELY. APPROXIMATE DURATION 45 MINUTES TO MORE THAN AN
HOUR WITH BELOW LIFR CONDITIONS AND VARIABLE GUSTY WIND.

**************************PREVIOUS ISSUANCE********************

.SHORT TERM (TODAY AND TONIGHT)...THE POWERFUL UPPER SHORTWAVE THAT
IS EXPECTED TO IGNITE SEVERE WEATHER ACROSS THE OHIO AND TENNESSEE
VALLEYS IS CURRENTLY DIGGING ACROSS THE INTERMOUNTAIN WEST AND WILL
TRANSLATE EAST TODAY. THIS WILL CAUSE A SFC LOW ACROSS THE SOUTHERN
PLAINS TO DEEPEN AND MOVE NORTHEAST TO SOUTHERN MICHIGAN BY THIS
EVENING. AHEAD OF THIS SFC LOW AND ASSOCIATED COLD FRONT...A WARM
AND MOIST AIRMASS WILL CONTINUE TO FLOW NORTHWARD FROM THE GULF OF
MEXICO. THIS WILL ALLOW TEMPS TO AGAIN CLIMB INTO THE UPPER 70S AND
LOW 80S ACROSS THE CENTRAL GULF COAST THIS AFTERNOON. DEWPOINTS WILL
BE IN THE MID TO UPPER 60S...MAKING FOR ANOTHER MUGGY DAY. AS THE
LOW RAPIDLY MOVES NORTHEAST IT WILL SEND A COLD FRONT SURGING
SOUTHWARD TOWARD THE AREA BY LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING. AHEAD
OF THE FRONT...SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED TO DEVELOP
INTO A SQUALL LINE THAT WILL MOVE ACROSS THE AREA THIS EVENING AND
OVERNIGHT. SHEAR PROFILES WILL WEAKEN AND BECOME UNIDIRECTIONAL
THROUGH THE EVENING DUE TO THE SFC LOW RAPIDLY MOVING AWAY FROM THE
REGION...BUT WILL REMAIN FAVORABLE FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORM
DEVELOPMENT. THE SHEAR COMBINED WITH MLCAPES OF 400 TO 800 J/KG WILL
BE FAVORABLE FOR PRIMARILY DAMAGING STRAIGHT LINE WINDS GUSTS WITH
BOWS AND LEWPS ALONG THE LINE. WET BULB ZERO LEVELS OF 9.5 TO 10 KFT
WILL ALSO SUPPORT MARGINALLY SEVERE HAIL. THE PRIMARY TORNADO RISK
IS EXPECTED TO REMAIN NORTH OF OUR REGION BUT WITH THIS TYPE OF
SYSTEM AN ISOLATED TORNADO CANNOT BE RULED OUT. THE SEVERE THREAT
WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT HOURS AS THE COLD FRONT MOVES
ACROSS. 13/JC

&&

(SATURDAY THROUGH SUNDAY)...THE COLD FRONT IS EXPECTED TO BE PUSHING
EAST OF I-65 BY 12Z SATURDAY...AND SHOULD BE EAST OF OUR FCST AREA BY
AROUND 18Z SATURDAY. WILL STILL BE LOOKING AT LIKELIHOOD OF SHOWERS
AND THUNDERSTORMS...SOME STRONG...EAST OF I-65 AND OVER THE FLORIDA
PANHANDLE SATURDAY MORNING...GRADUALLY TAPERING OFF WEST TO EAST
DURING THE AFTERNOON HOURS. A FEW LINGERING POST FRONTAL SHOWERS WILL
BE POSSIBLE SATURDAY NIGHT BUT THOSE TOO WILL END BY EARLY SUNDAY
MORNING. COOLER AIRMASS WORKING INTO THE REGION WITH THE PASSAGE OF
THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY. HIGHS BOTH SATURDAY AND SUNDAY IN THE
60S...LOWS SATURDAY NIGHT IN THE MID 30S EXCEPT FOR SOME LOWER 40S
ALONG THE IMMEDIATE COAST. 12/DS

&&

.LONG TERM (MONDAY THROUGH THURSDAY)...PRIMARILY A TEMPERATURE FCST
NEXT WEEK AS SFC HIGH PRESSURE MOVES EAST ACROSS THE SOUTHEASTERN
STATES. MIN TEMPS SLIGHTLY BELOW NORMAL EACH NIGHT...IN THE UPPER 30S
INTERIOR AND LOWER 40S COASTAL EARLY IN THE WEEK...MODERATING TO MID
40S INLAND AND LOWER 50S COASTAL BY WEDNESDAY NIGHT. DAYTIME HIGHS
EACH DAY NEAR THE NORMAL OF AROUND 70 DEGREES. NO PCPN EXPECTED AT
THIS TIME THROUGH THE LONG TERM PERIOD...WITH GENERALLY CLEAR TO
PARTLY CLOUDY SKIES EXPECTED. POTENTIAL FOR SOME PATCHY RADIATIONAL
FOG EARLY MONDAY MORNING AS GROUND WILL BE WET DUE TO PREVIOUS
RAINFALL...OTHERWISE FOG SHOULD NOT BE AS MUCH OF AN ISSUE AS IT HAS
BEEN OVER THE PAST SEVERAL DAYS. A LIGHT NORTHEASTERLY FLOW MONDAY
WILL BECOME MORE EAST TO SOUTHEASTERLY BY THURSDAY AS THE SFC HIGH
SHIFTS TO THE MID ATLANTIC COAST. WITH THE RETURN TO A MORE ONSHORE
FLOW BY THURSDAY...ADVECTION FOG MAY AGAIN BECOME AN ISSUE LATE NEXT
WEEK. 12/DS

&&

.AVIATION (02/12Z TAF ISSUANCE)...IFR TO LIFR CONDITIONS WILL
CONTINUE THROUGH MID MORNING DUE TO DENSE FOG AND LOW CIGS. CIGS
WILL REMAIN IN THE IFR TO MVFR RANGE THROUGH THE DAY. CIGS WILL
LOWER LATE TONIGHT AS A LINE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS MOVES
ACROSS THE AREA AHEAD OF A COLD FRONT. 13/JC

&&

.MARINE...PATCHY AREAS OF DENSE FOG WILL CONTINUE ACROSS THE MARINE
AREA THROUGH LATE THIS MORNING. ANOTHER ROUND OF DENSE FOG IS
POSSIBLE TONIGHT AHEAD OF THE APPROACHING FRONT. VISIBILITIES NEAR
THE COAST AND OVER AREA BAYS WILL BE LESS THAN A MILE. SOUTHERLY
WINDS WILL INCREASE TO CAUTIONARY LEVELS TODAY AHEAD OF AN
APPROACHING COLD FRONT. THE FRONT WILL MOVE ACROSS THE MARINE
SATURDAY MORNING WITH A STRONG NORTHERLY FLOW EXPECTED IN THE WAKE
OF THE FRONT THROUGH SUNDAY MORNING. A SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY WILL
LIKELY BE REQUIRED. WINDS AND SEAS WILL DECREASE SUNDAY INTO MONDAY
AS HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS ACROSS THE NORTHERN GULF. 13/JC

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...A WARM AND MOIST SOUTHERLY FLOW CONTINUES OVER THE
AREA THROUGH TODAY WITH AFTERNOON RELATIVE HUMIDITIES REMAINING WELL
ABOVE CRITICAL LEVELS. A COLD FRONT MOVES THROUGH THE AREA LATE
FRIDAY NIGHT INTO SATURDAY MORNING WITH NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS EXPECTED...BUT THE FRONT USHERS COOLER AND DRIER AIR
INTO THE REGION IN ITS WAKE. AFTERNOON RELATIVE HUMIDITIES WILL
REMAIN ABOVE CRITICAL LEVELS ON SATURDAY BUT ARE EXPECTED TO DROP
INTO THE MID 20S ACROSS MOST OF THE AREA...EXCEPT LOWER 30S OVER THE
FLORIDA PANHANDLE ON SUNDAY AFTERNOON. 12/DS
