AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MOBILE AL
955 PM CDT MON MAR 18 2013

.UPDATE...PLAN TO LET THE SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH EXPIRE AT 10 PM.
STRONG STORMS WILL MOVE INTO OUR SE MS ZONES OVER THE NEXT HOUR OR
TWO BUT RADAR SHOWS THESE STORMS GRADUALLY WEAKENING. THIS TREND
SHOULD CONTINUE AS INSTABILITY DECREASES FURTHER. STILL CANNOT RULE
OUT AN ISOLATED SEVERE OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF HOURS WITH THIS
CLUSTER OF STORMS...BUT THE THREAT IS NOT WIDESPREAD ENOUGH TO
CONTINUE WITH A WATCH. WILL ALSO UPDATE NEAR TERM GRIDS BASED ON
RADAR TRENDS. 34/JFB

&&

.PREVIOUS DISCUSSION (ISSUED 630 PM CDT)...

.AVIATION...[06Z ISSUANCE]...MOSTLY VFR TO MVFR CONDITIONS THROUGH
15Z TUE FOLLOWED VFR CONDITIONS THROUGH 00Z WED. IFR TO MVFR
CONDITIONS ALSO POSSIBLE AT TIMES MAINLY IN AND AROUND SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS GENERALLY FROM 03Z AND 08Z TUES AHEAD AND ALONG AN
APPROACHING COLD FRONT...FOLLOWED BY IFR TO MVFR CONDITIONS IN LOW
CLOUDS AND LIGHT RAIN IN THE WAKE OF THE FRONT MOVING ACROSS THE
REGION AFTER 06Z TONIGHT. SKIES GRADUALLY CLEAR LATE TUES MORNING
THROUGH TUES AFTERNOON. WINDS WILL BE SOUTH TO SOUTHWEST AT 12 TO 15
KNOTS WITH GUSTS TO 20 KNOTS THROUGH 08Z FOLLOWED BY NORTHWEST WINDS
AT 10 TO 15 KNOTS WITH GUSTS TO 18 KNOTS THROUGH 00Z WED. 32/EE

.UPDATE...A SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH IS NOW IN EFFECT UNTIL 10 PM
CDT FOR MOST INLAND COUNTIES OF SOUTHWEST AL AND SOUTHEAST MS. A
LARGE AREA OF STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS OVER EAST CENTRAL
MISSISSIPPI AND WEST CENTRAL ALABAMA WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE SOUTHEAST
OVER THE WATCH AREA THROUGH MID TO LATE EVENING. MANY REPORTS OF
LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING WINDS HAVE BEEN REPORTED WITH THE STRONGER
THUNDERSTORMS OVER MS DURING THE LAST 2 TO 3 HOURS. CONDITIONS REMAIN
FAVORABLE FURTHER DOWNSTREAM FOR THE SAME TYPE OF
CONDITIONS...ESPECIALLY OVER THE WATCH AREA THROUGH THIS EVENING.
WITH VERY STEEP MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES AROUND 8C STILL IN PLACE
COMBINED WITH MIXED LAYERED CAPES EVEN UP TO 2500 J/KG THE THREAT FOR
LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING WINDS WILL REMAIN HIGHER THAN NORMAL THROUGH
MID TO LATE EVENING. FREQUENT CLOUD TO GROUND LIGHTNING AND VERY
HEAVY RAIN WILL ALSO ACCOMPANY THUNDERSTORMS THROUGH THIS EVENING.
MOST OF THE THUNDERSTORMS WERE MOVING EAST SOUTHEAST AT 40 MPH.
32/EE

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 245 PM CDT MON MAR 18 2013/

SHORT TERM [TONIGHT AND TUESDAY]...A WARM MOIST AIRMASS WILL BE IN
PLACE THIS EVENING ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA AHEAD OF A COLD FRONT
APPROACHING FROM THE NORTHWEST. SCATTERED SHOWERS AND A FEW
THUNDERSTORMS HAVE BEEN TRYING TO DEVELOP THIS AFTERNOON UNDER A
VERY STRONG CAPPING INVERSION IN THE MID LEVELS. THIS CAP IS
EXPECTED TO ERODE BY LATE THIS AFTERNOON...FOLLOWED BY SCATTERED TO
NUMEROUS THUNDERSTORMS THROUGH THE EVENING HOURS.

SEVERE WEATHER PARAMETERS CONTINUE TO INDICATE THE MAIN THREATS WITH
THE STRONGER SUPERCELLS TO BE LARGE HAIL UP TO 2" IN DIAMETER AND
DAMAGING MICROBURST WINDS UP TO 60 MPH. DEEP LAYER SHEAR (0-3KM)
WILL BE NEAR 200 M^2/S^2...SUFFICIENT ENOUGH FOR A FEW TORNADO
PRODUCING SUPERCELLS. STAY TUNED TO FURTHER DEVELOPMENTS AND
INFORMATION AS THEY BECOME AVAILABLE.

THE COLD FRONT WILL ENTER INTO OUR INLAND SOUTHEAST MISSISSIPPI
ZONES SHORTLY BEFORE MIDNIGHT...AND THEN SWEEP THROUGH THE ENTIRE
FORECAST AREA BY DAYBREAK TUESDAY. SCATTERED SHOWERS AND ISOLATED
THUNDERSTORMS WILL PERSIST SOUTHEAST OF I-65 AFTER MIDNIGHT...BUT
THE SEVERE WEATHER THREAT SHOULD NO LONGER EXIST. THE PRECIPITATION
AHEAD OF THE FRONT WILL ALSO MOVE EAST OF THE AREA BY DAYBREAK.
MOSTLY SUNNY SKIES AND DRY CONDITIONS WILL RETURN ON TUESDAY AS HIGH
PRESSURE BUILDS IN FROM THE NORTH.

LOWS TEMPERATURES TONIGHT WILL RANGE BETWEEN 48 AND 56 DEGREES
NORTHWEST OF I-65...AND RANGE BETWEEN 56 AND 61 DEGREES SOUTHEAST OF
I-65. HIGHS TUESDAY WILL BE IN THE 70S. /22

[TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY]...DUE TO THE DRIER AIRMASS...LOWS
TUESDAY NIGHT WILL DROP BACK TO MORE NORMAL LEVELS...IN THE
MID/UPPER 30S INLAND TO LOW 50S NEAR THE COAST. AN UPPER LEVEL
DISTURBANCE WILL PASS WEST AND SOUTH OF THE FORECAST AREA ON
WEDNESDAY BUT MAY BE ENOUGH TO GENERATE A FEW ISOLATED SHOWERS
ACROSS THE SOUTHWEST PORTIONS OF THE AREA AND ACROSS THE MARINE
AREA. ANOTHER SURGE OF COOL AND DRY AIR WILL MOVE INTO THE AREA
WEDNESDAY NIGHT INTO THURSDAY IN THE WAKE OF THIS DISTURBANCE.
CLOUDS WILL BEGIN TO INCREASE ON THURSDAY AS LOW PRESSURE DEVELOPS
ACROSS THE SOUTHERN PLAINS AND MOVES EAST. THIS WILL ALLOW A STALLED
FRONT OVER THE MARINE AREA TO LIFT NORTHWARD AS A WARM
FRONT...CAUSING WINDS TO BECOME SOUTHERLY AND MOISTURE LEVELS TO
GRADUALLY INCREASE. /13

LONG TERM [THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH NEXT MONDAY]...THE EXTENDED
REMAINS UNCERTAIN AND ONLY MINOR CHANGES WERE MADE. AS SOUTHERN
PLAINS SURFACE LOW MOVES EASTWARD THURSDAY NIGHT...A SFC WARM FRONT
LIFTS NORTHEASTWARD GRADUALLY AND WILL FORCE SOME LIGHT OVERRUNNING
PCPN ALONG AND TO ITS NORTH. GIVEN UPPER LEVEL FLOW PATTERN'S
ORIENTATION...SFC LOW SHOULD TAKE A MORE SOUTHERLY TRACK THAN
FORECAST BY LATEST GFS AND AREAS ALONG AND SOUTH OF HIGHWAY 84 THUS
STAND TO RECEIVE THE BEST CHANCE OF RAIN WITH SCATTERED
THUNDERSTORMS ON FRIDAY (DEPENDING ON INSTABILITY AND VERTICAL WIND
SHEAR) A FEW STRONG STORMS COULD DEVELOP. THIS IS TO BE DETERMINED
ONCE WE HAVE A BETTER HANDLE ON LARGE SCALE FEATURE EVOLUTION. AS
SFC LOW MOVES QUICKLY OVER REGION FRIDAY EVENING...SFC WINDS SHIFT
TO NW AND COOLER AIR ADVECTS INTO OUR AREA. HOWEVER...REGION DOES
NOT DRY OUT COMPLETELY. A SERIES OF MINOR IMPULSES CONTINUE
STREAMING ALONG IN A THEN SOUTHWESTERLY MID- AND UPPER-LEVEL FLOW
PATTERN WHICH MAY ACT TO FORCE ADDITIONAL LARGE SCALE LIFT AND
SUBSEQUENT LIGHT RAIN BEHIND THE SFC FRONT. LOOKS LIKE ONE WAVE
MOVING NORTHEASTWARD OUT OF THE SWRN GULF OF MEXICO AND ANOTHER
DIGGING IN THE SOUTHERN PLAINS WILL COMBINE TO RAISE RAIN CHANCES
AGAIN BY SAT NIGHT AND INTO EARLY SUNDAY. THE SYSTEM MOVES QUICKLY
AND SUBSIDENT AIR RETURNS IN THAT SYSTEM'S WAKE ON MONDAY. AT THIS
POINT AM FORECASTING WELL BELOW SEASONAL NORMS FOR HIGH AND LOW
TEMPERATURES FOR PERIOD SATURDAY THROUGH MONDAY WITH A SLOW
MODERATION WITH AN NORTHERLY WIND COMPONENT FROM EARLY SATURDAY
THROUGH MONDAY. /13

MARINE...A MODERATE SOUTHERLY WIND FLOW WILL PERSIST OVER THE MARINE
AREA THROUGH THIS EVENING AHEAD OF A COLD FRONT. SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS CAN BE EXPECTED WITH THE BEST CHANCE OCCURRING THIS
EVENING THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT HOURS. THE COLD FRONT WILL MOVE ACROSS
THE REGION LATE TONIGHT LEADING TO A MODERATE TO STRONG OFFSHORE FLOW
THROUGH MID WEEK. A LIGHT TO MODERATE EASTERLY WIND FLOW WILL
REDEVELOP LATE IN THE WEEK AS A SURFACE RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE OVER
THE NATIONS MID SECTION SHIFTS EAST. /22
