AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MOBILE AL
410 PM CST SUN FEB 10 2013
.SHORT TERM [TONIGHT AND MONDAY]...SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS
CONTINUE TO DEVELOP ACROSS THE AREA AHEAD OF AN APPROACHING COLD
FRONT THAT IS LOCATED ACROSS CENTRAL ARKANSAS INTO NORTHERN
LOUISIANA. MEANWHILE...A WARM FRONT HAS MOVED NORTH OF THE AREA WITH
A WARM AND MOIST AIRMASS SURGING ONSHORE IN THE WAKE OF THE FRONT.
THE RESULTING INCREASED INSTABILITY ALONG WITH STRONG VERTICAL WIND
SHEAR HAS RESULTING IN SOME SEVERE THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT TO OUR
WEST. AS THE COLD FRONT MOVES EASTWARD THROUGH TONIGHT...CONDITIONS
WILL BE FAVORABLE FOR A FEW SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WITH DAMAGING WIND
GUSTS AND ISOLATED TORNADOES FROM SOUTHEAST MISSISSIPPI INTO
INTERIOR SOUTHWEST ALABAMA. THE SEVERE THREAT IS EXPECTED TO
DECREASE BY LATE TONIGHT AS THE ATMOSPHERE STABILIZES AND THE UPPER
DYNAMICS PULL AWAY WHILE THE FRONT GRADUALLY SINKS SOUTHWARD TOWARD
THE COAST. HEAVY RAINS WILL ALSO BE POSSIBLE DUE TO THE SLOW
MOVEMENT OF THE FRONT FROM SOUTHEAST MISSISSIPPI INTO PARTS OF
SOUTHWEST ALABAMA AND A FLASH FLOOD WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT FOR
THESE AREAS.
THE FRONT WILL STALL NEAR THE COAST OR JUST OFFSHORE ON MONDAY AS IT
GETS CAUGHT IN THE UPPER LEVEL SOUTHWEST FLOW DOWNSTREAM OF A
DIGGING SHORTWAVE ACROSS THE FOUR CORNERS. ISENTROPIC LIFTING OVER
THE COOLER AIR AT THE SFC ON MONDAY WILL CREATE WIDESPREAD LIGHT TO
MODERATE RAIN THROUGH MUCH OF THE DAY. THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE
CONFINED TO NEAR THE COAST AND OFFSHORE WHERE THE BETTER INSTABILITY
WILL RESIDE. TEMPS WILL NOT FALL VERY FAR TONIGHT WITH THE ABUNDANT
CLOUDS AND PRECIP WITH LOWS IN THE LOWER 60S. HIGHS ON MONDAY WILL
RANGE FROM THE UPPER 60S ACROSS SOUTHEAST ZONES TO LOWER 60S ACROSS
THE NORTHWEST. /13
[MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT]...FORECAST AREA WILL REMAIN
WEDGED BETWEEN A LARGE UPPER HIGH OVER THE SOUTHERN GULF OF MEXICO
AND A POWERFUL STORM SYSTEM OVER THE GREAT LAKES MONDAY EVENING. THE
GREAT LAKES STORM SYSTEM WILL MOVE EASTWARD MONDAY NIGHT...AND
ACROSS NEW ENGLAND ON TUESDAY. MEANWHILE A SECOND UPPER LOW FORMS
OVER THE SOUTHERN ROCKIES MONDAY NIGHT...TRAVERSES OVER THE SOUTHERN
PLAINS ON TUESDAY...AND EVENTUALLY EVOLVES INTO AND OPEN WAVE AFTER
MIDNIGHT TUESDAY. AT THE SURFACE...A RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE FROM THE
CENTRAL PLAINS TO THE SOUTHEAST STATES WILL LIFT NORTHWARD...AS A
AREA OF LOW PRESSURE FORMING ACROSS THE SOUTHERN PLAINS MOVES EAST
ALONG THE NORTHERN GULF COAST TUESDAY AND TUESDAY NIGHT. WITH STRONG
OVER-RUNNING IN PLACE AND PERSISTENT UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCES MOVING
OVER THE AREA...WILL KEEP NUMEROUS TO DEFINITE SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS IN THE FORECAST FOR THIS TIME FRAME. STRONG DEEP LAYER
SHEAR WILL ALSO REMAIN IN PLACE OVER THE REGION ON TUESDAY...WHILE
SURFACE BASED AND MIXED LAYER CAPE VALUES REMAIN AROUND 500 J/KG. A
FEW STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE ACROSS THE
FORECAST AREA ON TUESDAY. THE PRIMARY SEVERE WEATHER HAZARDS
WILL BE POTENTIAL FOR DAMAGING WINDS AND PERHAPS AN ISOLATED
TORNADO. A SECOND FRONTAL BOUNDARY WILL THEN BEGIN TO SHIFT
SOUTHEAST ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA AFTER MIDNIGHT. HEAVY RAINS WILL
PERSIST WITH RAINFALL AMOUNTS THROUGH THIS PERIOD RANGING FROM 2.0
TO 2.5 INCHES. /22
&&
LONG TERM [WEDNESDAY ON]...WEDNESDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT...A NOW
OPEN SHORTWAVE MOVES TO OVER THE FA. ITS RELATIVELY SLOW SE MOVEMENT
HELPS TO PUSH THE SURFACE FRONT SLOWLY BACK SOUTHEAST...TO JUST SE
OF THE MARINE FA BY THURSDAY MORNING. THE GFS IS A BIT SLOW THAN THE
ECMWF MOVING THE SURFACE LOW OFF AND THE TRAILING FRONT
SOUTHEAST...WITH HIGHER POPS OVER LAND SECTIONS OF THE FA AS A
RESULT. HAVE SHRA TAPERING OFF FROM THE NORTHWEST AS A RESULT...MORE
INLINE WITH THE SLIGHTLY FASTER ECMWF. /16
THURSDAY THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT...SHORTWAVE ENERGY DIGS AN UPPER
TROUGH OVER THE NORTHERN CONUS. THE GFS AND ECMWF BEGIN TO
DIVERGE...WITH THE GFS ADVERTISING THE SHORTWAVE ENERGY MORE
CONCENTRATED OVER THE GREAT LAKES REGION...WHILST THE ECMWF IS
ADVERTISING A LESS ORGANIZED UPPER TROUGH OVER THE UPPER PLAINS AND
ROCKIES. BOTH PUSH THE SURFACE FRONT FARTHER SOUTH...DRYING OUT THE
FA. BOTH ARE IN PRETTY GOOD AGREEMENT WITH TEMPS...WITH THE ECMWF A
SCOOCH COOLER. HAVEN'T DEVIATED FROM THE STATISTICAL GUIDANCE FOR
THE FORECAST FOR TEMPS. /16 /22
FRIDAY THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT...THE GFS IS ADVERTISING THE UPPER TROUGH
OVER THE GREAT LAKES DIGGING SOUTH AS MORE ENERGY PASSES
THROUGH...WHILST THE ECMWF IS SWINGING A STRONG SHORTWAVE EAST ACROSS
THE PLAINS. THE STRONGER UPPER SOLUTION IN THE ECMWF PUSHES A SURFACE
FRONT TO THE NW-ERN BORD OF THE FA BY SUNRISE SATURDAY...WHILE THE
GFS IS ADVERTISING MORE OF A RE-ENFORCING SHOVE OF COOLER NORTHERLY
AIR SOUTH OVER THE SOUTHEASTERN CONUS. THE RESULT IS A COOLER
SOLUTION IN THE GFS THAN THE ECMWF. BOTH ARE ON THE DRY SIDE...WITH
LITTLE MOISTURE RETURN HAVEN'T DEVIATED FROM THE GUIDANCE WITH
RESPECT TO POPS FOR THIS PERIOD. /16
SATURDAY THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT...BOTH THE GFS AND ECMWF MOVE THE
FRONT THROUGH THE FA...WITH THE ECMWF BACKING OFF ON THE POP
GENERATION. ADJUSTED TO DRY FORECAST FOR NOW. /22
&&
.AVIATION (11.00Z ISSUANCE)...MVFR CIGS WILL CONTINUE AT AREA
TERMINALS THROUGH THIS AFTERNOON AND MVFR VISBYS AT KPNS DUE TO SEA
FOG. VCSH CAN BE EXPECTED AT TERMINALS THROUGH TONIGHT WITH CHANCES
OF THUNDERSTORMS INCREASING LATE TONIGHT AS A COLD FRONT APPROACHES
THE COAST MONDAY MORNING. RAIN WILL CONTINUE MONDAY MORNING IN THE
WAKE OF THE FRONT WITH LOWED CIGS AND VISBYS AS WELL. /13
&&
.MARINE...STRONG SOUTHEASTERLY FLOW OVER THE MARINE AREA WILL BECOME
SOUTHERLY TONIGHT AHEAD OF AN APPROACHING COLD FRONT. THE FRONT WILL
STALL ACROSS THE NORTHERN GULF COAST ON MONDAY AND LINGER THROUGH
TUESDAY. SOUTHERLY FLOW WILL INCREASE AGAIN ON TUESDAY AS AN AREA OF
LOW PRESSURE MOVES ACROSS THE AREA. NORTHWESTERLY TO NORTHERLY FLOW
WILL THEN INCREASE IN THE WAKE OF THIS SYSTEM WEDNESDAY. /13
&&
.FIRE WEATHER...A MODERATE SOUTHERLY FLOW WILL INCREASE MOISTURE
LEVELS AHEAD OF A FRONTAL BOUNDARY SAGGING SOUTHEAST INTO THE AREA.
THE FRONT IS EXPECTED TO STALL ACROSS THE AREA THROUGH TUESDAY
NIGHT...WITH PERIODS OF MODERATE TO HEAVY RAIN...ALONG WITH EMBEDDED
SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS THUNDERSTORMS.
FOG POTENTIAL AND OTHER REMARKS...AREAS OF LIGHT FOG ARE EXPECTED
TONIGHT AHEAD OF THE FRONT MOVING OVER THE AREA...WITH VISIBILITIES
DOWN TO 3 MILES. TUESDAY AND TUESDAY NIGHT WILL SEE AREAS OF LIGHT
FOG MIXED WITH RAIN. /22
