AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MOBILE AL
524 AM CDT WED JUL 3 2013

.SHORT TERM...(TODAY THROUGH FRIDAY)...FOR TODAY THROUGH TONIGHT...
.SFC TROF OVER THE FCST AREA WILL LIKELY DRIFT SLOWLY WEST DURING
THE SHORT TERM PERIOD AS HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS OFF THE SOUTHEAST U.S.
COAST AND RIDGES WEST. TROUGH IS ALREADY FURTHER WEST THAN IT WAS
YESTERDAY...AND ABUNDANT GULF MOISTURE AND ASSOCIATED SHOWERS/STORMS
EXPECTED TO LIFT UP INTO THE FCST AREA TODAY THRU TONIGHT (AND
BEYOND). WHILE RAINFALL IS EXPECTED TO BE LIKELY ACROSS MOST OF THE
REGION TODAY AND TONIGHT...THE BETTER CHANCES WILL BE OVER THE
EASTERN HALF OF THE FCST AREA. STORM TOTAL QPF VALUES LIKELY 1.5 TO A
LITTLE OVER 2 INCHES ALONG AND EAST OF I-65 THRU TONIGHT WITH LOCALLY
HIGHER AMOUNTS POSSIBLE EASILY POSSIBLE. HAVE ISSUED A FLASH FLOOD
WATCH FOR AREAS ALONG AND EAST OF I-65 IN ALABAMA...AND FOR ALL OF
THE WESTERN FLORIDA PANHANDLE BEGINNING EARLY THIS AFTERNOON AND
CONTINUING THROUGH THURSDAY. RAIN AXIS WILL LIKELY BE GRADUALLY BE
SHIFTING WESTWARD TOWARD THE END OF THE SHORT TERM AND INTO THE
LONGER TERM FCST PERIOD...SO WILL HAVE TO MONITOR THE SITUATION AND
MAKE ANY NECESSARY ADJUSTMENTS TO THE FLASH FLOOD WATCH WITH REGARD
TO BOTH COVERAGE AND TIME OF THREAT. THE EXPECTED SHOWERS AND STORMS
TODAY AND TONIGHT WILL NOT ONLY WILL THE PROLIFIC RAIN PRODUCERS...
BUT ALSO POSSIBLY PRODUCE STRONG GUSTY WINDS WITH THE MORE INTENSE
CELLS. HIGH TEMPS TODAY IN THE MID TO UPPER 80S OVER THE
REGION...WITH COOLER TEMPS EASTERN AND COASTAL ZONES. MIN TEMPS
TONIGHT IN THE UPPER 60S TO LOWER 70S INTERIOR WESTERN ZONES... LOWER
70S OVER EASTERN INTERIOR ZONES...AND MID 70S COASTAL ZONES. THERE IS
A MODERATE WET MICROBURST POTENTIAL TODAY AND A HIGH RISK OF
DANGEROUS RIP CURRENTS ALONG AREA GULF BEACHES. 12/DS THIS

THURSDAY THROUGH FRIDAY...IN THE UPPER LEVELS OF THE ATMOSPHERE...
LITTLE CHANGE IN THE SYNOPTIC PATTERN...WITH THE UPPER HIGH CENTERED OFF
THE CAROLINA COAST PRETTY MUCH STATIC. THE UPPER HIGH OVER THE DESERT
SOUTHWEST SEES SOME FLUCTUATIONS IN HEIGHT...BUT NOTHING SIGNIFICANT.
THE UPPER TROUGH CENTERED OVER THE EASTERN PLAINS BETWEEN THEM
MAINTAINS ITS POSITION...THOUGH SOME OF THE GUIDANCE IS ADVERTISING
THE SIGNIFICANT SHORTWAVE EMBEDDED IN IT GETTING PULLED UP THE WEST
SIDE OF THE EASTERN HIGH.

IN THE LOWER LEVELS OF THE TROPOSPHERE...ALL THE GUIDANCE STARTS
THURSDAY WITH A SURFACE RIDGE STRETCHING WEST OVER THE EASTERN CONUS. A
CLOSED LOW OR WEAKLY ORGANIZED CIRCULATION OVER E-ERN LA/MISS/AL/NW
FL COASTAL WATERS IS PRESENT. THIS SURFACE FEATURE MOVES OFF
THURSDAY...BECOMING LESS OF A BEAR FOR WIND DIRECTIONS FORECAST. A
BAND OF PRECIP H20 MEASURING GREATER THAN 2"(UP TO 2.5" OVER THE
GULF) STARTS OVER THE EASTERN HALF OF THE FA...AND ACTUALLY SHIFTS
EAST THURSDAY. FOR WESTERN HALF OF THE FA...THIS MEANS A DECREASE IN
THE CHANCE OF RAIN DURING THE DAY. EASTERN SECTIONS OF THE FA...HAVE
KEPT THE HIGH POPS...HIGH THAN THE NAM AND GFS ARE ADVERTISING AND
MORE INLINE WITH THE ECMWF. TEMPS...HAVE WENT WELL BELOW SEASONAL.

THURSDAY NIGHT...THE BAND OF SOUPY AIR SHIFTS BACK WEST...TO OVER THE
FA. THE GFS IS A BIT FARTHER EAST WITH THE AXIS...THE FARTHEST EAST
IN FACT. THE NAM IS THE FARTHEST WEST. ALL THIS IS AN ABOUT 100 MI
DIFFERENCE...THOUGH. WITH THE ECMWF IN THE MIDDLE...HAVE USED THAT
PLACEMENT FOR POPS. POPS ARE A BIT LOWER THURS NIGHT...BUT STILL
HIGH. TEMPS...AROUND SEASONAL.

FRIDAY...ALL THE GUIDANCE IS ADVERTISING THE SOUPY AXIS SHIFTING A
BIT FARTHER WEST...WITH MOST OF THE GUIDANCE ADVERTISING THE AXIS
DIRECTLY OVER THE FA. ANOTHER SOUPY DAY IN STORE. AGAIN...HAVE LEANED
TOWARDS THE ECMWF NUMBERS FOR THE FORECAST. A NOTE...WITH THE CURRENT
FFW ENDING FRIDAY SUNRISE...MAY NEED TO EXTEND IT OR TRANSITION TO AN
AREA WATCH...DEPENDING UPON HOW THINGS PLAY OUT THE PREVIOUS PERIODS.

.LONG TERM...(FRIDAY NIGHT ON)...FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY...SOME
STIRRING IN THE UPPER PATTERN AS THE UPPER RIDGE OVER THE DESERT
SOUTHWEST SHIFTS EAST A BIT. WITH THE UPPER HIGH OFF THE CAROLINA
COAST REMAINING PRETTY MUCH STATIONARY ACCORDING TO THE GUIDANCE...THE
UPPER TROUGH OVER THE PLAINS GET SQUEEZED EAST...TO OVER THE MISS
RIVER VALLEY...ALONG WITH BEGINNING TO PUSH THE LAST OF THE
SIGNIFICANT SHORTWAVE ENERGY OUT SO IT CAN MOVE NORTHEAST ON THE WEST
SIDE OF THE EASTERN HIGH. HAVE WENT GENERALLY WITH GUIDANCE FOR
TEMPS...THOUGH WITH THE MOISTURE EXITS STILL OVER THE FA...HAVE WENT
WELL ABOVE GUIDANCE WITH RESPECT TO POPS. ON A SIDE NOTE...THE GFS
AND CANADIAN ARE DEVELOPING A SURFACE LOW OVER THE WESTERN GULF OF
MEX. NOTHING INDICATED IN THE ECMWF.

SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY...THE PRESENT UPPER PATTER CONTINUES TO
BREAK DOWN AS SHORTWAVE ENERGY MOVING ONSHORE OVER THE WEST COAST
PUSHES THE WESTERN UPPER HIGH EASTWARD...SQUISHING THE UPPER TROUGH
OVER THE MISS RIVER MORE AS IT MOVES EAST. THE EVER-PRESENT SURFACE
RIDGE OVER THE EASTERN CONUS REMAINS...WITH THE SOUP RAINING OVER THE
FA. WITH THE UPPER TROUGH LOSING ITS IDENTITY...HAVE DROPPED THE POPS FROM
PREVIOUS DAYS...THOUGH STILL WELL ABOVE SEASONAL. HAVE WENT BELOW THE
GFS TEMPS FOR THE PERIOD...MORE INLINE WITH THE COOLER EURO.

SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY...THE RIDGE OF SOUPINESS BEGINS TO BREAK
DOWN...WITH GUIDANCE(GFS IN THIS CASE) DROPPING THE PRECIP H20
AMOUNTS A COUPLE OF TENTHS...THOUGH STILL ABOVE 2". THE SEPARATE
UPPER HIGHS HAVE PRETTY MUCH COMBINED INTO AN UPPER RIDGE OVER THE
SOUTHERN HALF OF THE CONUS. THE GFS AND ECMWF ARE ADVERTISING AN
EMBEDDED SHORTWAVE OVER THE LOW MISS RIVER VALLEY. THE GFS IS A BIT
STRONGER WITH THIS SHORTWAVE...RESULTING IN A WETTER FORECAST. WITHT
HE SOUPY AIRMASS OVER THE FA...HAVE LEANED TOWARDS THE GFS POPS. FOR
TEMPS...ECMWF AND GFS ARE IN PRETTY DECENT AGREEMENT...SO HAVEN'T
DEVIATED...WHICH FOR THE FORECAST MEANS TEMPS AROUND SEASONAL.

MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY...THE UPPER RIDGE OVER THE SOUTHERN
HALF OF THE CONUS BREAKS DOWN AS SHORTWAVE ENERGY DIVING SOUTHEAST
OVER THE NORTHEASTERN CONUS. THE SURFACE RIDGE STRETCHING WEST OVER
THE EASTERN CONUS GETS A SOUTHWARD SHOVE...TO OVER THE NORTHERN GULF
COAST. SEVERAL SHORTWAVE PASS ALONG THE SOUTH END OF THE UPPER
RIDGE...OVER THE GULF OF OF MEX...BUT SHOW LITTLE SURFACE DEVELOPMENT
TO GO ALONG WITH. WITH GUIDANCE IN DECENT AGREEMENT AT THE END OF
THE FORECAST...HAVEN'T DEVIATED SIGNIFICANTLY.

.HYDROLOGY...THE DEEP TROPICAL PLUME OF MOISTURE (PRECIPITABLE
WATERS NEAR 2 STANDARD DEVIATIONS ABOVE NORMAL) WILL FIRST FUNNEL
INTO THE WESTERN FL PANHANDLE WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND GRADUALLY EXPAND
WESTWARD INTO SOUTHEAST MS BY FRIDAY/SATURDAY. THIS WILL SET THE
STAGE FOR PERIODS OF HEAVY RAIN. WIDESPREAD RAINFALL TOTALS OF 2 TO
5 INCHES ARE EXPECTED BY SUNDAY. LOCALIZED AREAS COULD RECEIVE
DOUBLE THESE AMOUNTS. THEREFORE...WE WILL HAVE TO CLOSELY MONITOR
FOR THE POTENTIAL OF FLOODING. THE HEAVIEST RAINFALL AMOUNTS WILL
INITIALLY OCCUR EAST OF I-65 THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT...SPREADING
FURTHER WEST BY FRIDAY. 08/JW

&&

.AVIATION...(03/12Z TAF ISSUANCE)...STALLED SURFACE TROF DRAPED NORTH
TO SOUTH OVER THE CENTRAL GULF COAST WILL MAINTAIN STEADY MOIST
ONSHORE FLOW THROUGH FCST PERIOD...WITH OVERCAST SKIES
CONTINUING...PRIMARILY IN THE MVFR RANGE. INCREASING CHANCES FOR
SHOWERS AND STORMS ALSO EXPECTED AT TERMINALS TODAY...WITH A FEW
STRONG STORMS POSSIBLY PRODUCING GUSTY WINDS UP TO AROUND 25 KNOTS
LATE TODAY...AND ALL SHOWERS/STORMS BE VERY EFFICIENT RAINFALL
PRODUCERS. POTENTIAL OF HIGHER COVERAGES FOR EASTERN
TERMINALS...TOWARD KPNS. VSBY COULD VERY WELL LOWER TO IFR LEVELS IN
HEAVIER DOWNPOURS ALONG WITH BRIEF...GUSTY WINDS IN/NEAR CONVECTION.
12/DS

&&

.MARINE...A WEAK SURFACE TROUGH WILL GRADUALLY DISSIPATE AS IT MOVES
WESTWARD ACROSS THE MARINE AREA THROUGH THE END OF THE WEEK. A WEAK
AREA OF LOW PRESSURE IS EXPECTED TO DEVELOP ALONG THE REMNANTS OF THE
TROUGH ACROSS THE CENTRAL GULF AND MOVE NORTHWARD INTO THE CENTRAL
GULF COAST LATE THIS WEEK. THIS WILL RESULT IN AN INCREASED COVERAGE
OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS FOR MID TO LATE WEEK...AS WELL AS AN
INCREASE TO STRONG ONSHORE WINDS AND BUILDING SEAS TONIGHT THROUGH
AT LEAST THURSDAY NIGHT. A SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY IS IN EFFECT FOR ALL
GULF ZONES AS WELL AS THE PENSACOLA AND CHOCTAWHATCHEE BAY SYSTEMS
TONIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY...AS IT IS IN THESE AREAS WHERE WINDS ARE
EXPECTED TO BE STRONGEST. SMALL CRAFT SHOULD EXERCISE CAUTION OVER
THE BAYS AND INLAND WATERWAYS OVER THE WESTERN HALF OF THE MARINE
FCST AREA. 12/DS

.FIRE WEATHER...SOUTHEAST FLOW IN THE MIXING LAYER ALONG WITH A SOUPY
AIRMASS WILL MEAN A WET FORECAST.

THUNDERSTORMS THIS AFTERNOON COULD BECOME STRONG...WITH GUSTY WINDS
BEING THE PRIMARY SEVERE THREAT. FREQUENT LIGHTNING WILL ALSO BE
POSSIBLE WITH ANY OF THE THUNDERSTORMS.

THERE IS A MODERATE RISK OF RIP CURRENTS EXPECTED ALONG GULF COAST
BEACHES TODAY...INCREASING TO A HIGH RISK TONIGHT.
