AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATE TO AVIATION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MOBILE AL
1130 AM CST THU JAN 17 2013
.AVIATION...(18Z ISSUANCE)GENERAL MVFR CONDITIONS ACROSS THE
AREA...WITH LIGHT SHSN ACROSS THE NORTHERN QUARTER OF THE FA...WITH
GRADUALLY CLEAR OUT FROM THE SOUTHWEST THIS AFTERNOON INTO TONIGHT.
STRONG NORTHWESTERLY WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO LAST THROUGH MOS OF THE
AFTERNOON...THEN SETTLE TO A MODERATE NORTHERLY TONIGHT WITH THE
CLEARING SKIES.
/16
&&
.SHORT TERM (TODAY AND TONIGHT)...AN UPPER LOW SEEN CURRENTLY OVER
NORTHERN LOUISIANA ADVANCES EASTWARD ACROSS CENTRAL MISSISSIPPI AND
CENTRAL ALABAMA TODAY WITH A SURFACE LOW OVER WEST CENTRAL GEORGIA
DEEPENING WHILE MOVING TO NEAR COASTAL SOUTH CAROLINA. AREA RADARS
CURRENTLY SHOW PATCHY PRECIPITATION WEST AND NORTH OF THE FORECAST
AREA WITH PATCHY DRIZZLE/LIGHT RAIN ONGOING ACROSS PORTIONS OF THE
FORECAST AREA. TEMPERATURES HAVE BEEN TRENDING SLOWLY COLDER
OVERNIGHT WITH MID TO UPPER THIRTIES OVER THE WESTERN PORTION OF THE
AREA AND LOWER TO MID FORTIES OVER THE EASTERN PORTION. THE
PRECIPITATION IMMEDIATELY WEST AND NORTH OF THE FORECAST AREA IS
STILL IN THE FORM OF LIGHT RAIN BUT HAS SWITCHED OVER TO LIGHT SNOW
AROUND AND WEST OF A MCB...JAN...STF LINE. THIS IS BOTH A DIFFICULT
POP AND PRECIP TYPE FORECAST THIS MORNING AS TEMPERATURES TREND
SLIGHTLY COOLER DURING THE OVERNIGHT HOURS FOLLOWED BY A PUSH OF
DRIER AIR LATER THIS MORNING INTO THE EARLY AFTERNOON WHICH WILL
BRING AN END TO THE PRECIPITATION. THE INFLUX OF PROGRESSIVELY
DRIER AIR IS CURRENTLY AFFECTING PRECIPITATION DEVELOPMENT PER AREA
RADARS WITH AN OVERALL DECREASE NOTED ACROSS SOUTHEAST LOUISIANA AND
SOUTHEAST MISSISSIPPI. BASED ON THIS...WILL HAVE SLIGHT CHANCE POPS
OVER THE SOUTHWESTERN PORTION OF THE FORECAST AREA THIS MORNING BUT
INCREASING TO CATEGORICAL POPS OVER THE NORTHERNMOST PORTION WHERE
BOTH THE BEST LIFT AND MOISTURE WILL BE PRESENT. WILL HAVE SMALL
POPS OVER THE NORTHEAST PORTION OF THE AREA THIS AFTERNOON AS THE
DRIER AIR TAKES AN INCREASING TOLL AND LIFT DECREASES AS WELL WITH
THE SURFACE LOW CONTINUING FURTHER EAST. DRY CONDITIONS FOLLOW FOR
TONIGHT. WHILE MODEL SOUNDINGS CONTINUE TO HAVE A PROFILE
SUPPORTIVE FOR A WINTRY MIX OF PRECIPITATION OVER THE NORTHWESTERN
FOURTH OF THE AREA...THE SWITCH OVER TO A WINTRY MIX IN THE OBSERVED
DATA HAS REMAINED FURTHER WEST AND NORTH AND APPEARS TO BE A RESULT
OF THE DRIER AIR WORKING INTO THE AREA AS WELL AS LOWER LEVEL
TEMPERATURES NOT DROPPING OFF QUITE AS LOW AS EXPECTED. THIS MAKES
FOR A VERY DIFFICULT PRECIP TYPE FORECAST WITH ATMOSPHERIC
CONDITIONS RUNNING RAZOR CLOSE BETWEEN RAIN AND SNOW OVER THE
NORTHWESTERN PORTION AND HAVE GONE WITH A MIX OF LIGHT RAIN AND
LIGHT SNOW THIS MORNING OVER INTERIOR SOUTHEAST MISSISSIPPI AND
INTERIOR SOUTHWEST ALABAMA WITH AN OTHERWISE LIQUID PRECIPITATION
TYPE FORECAST. RELATIVELY WARM GROUND CONDITIONS WILL PREVENT ANY
ACCUMULATION IN THE AREA. WILL CONTINUE THE WIND ADVISORY FOR THE
AREA TODAY FOR BREEZY WESTERLY WINDS BECOMING NORTHWEST. /29
&&
.LONG TERM (FRIDAY THROUGH NEXT THURSDAY)...THE EXTENDED WILL
FEATURE DRY WEATHER FOR A CHANGE. TEMPERATURES WILL START OFF COOL
ON FRIDAY WITH HIGHS ONLY IN THE MID 50S...HOWEVER THEY WILL MODIFY
THROUGH THE WEEKEND WITH LOW TO MID 60S EXPECTED SATURDAY AND
SUNDAY. AN EASTERN CONUS TROUGH WILL AMPLIFY LATE IN THE WEEKEND
INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK WITH A DRY COLD FRONTAL PASSAGE EXPECTED ON
MONDAY WITH HIGHS DROPPING BACK INTO THE 50S. THE GLOBAL MODELS ARE
NOT PROJECTING AS DEEP OF A TROUGH NEXT WEEK AND ARE NOW QUICKLY
MOVING IT EAST WITH ZONAL FLOW DEVELOPING BY LATE IN THE PERIOD.
THIS RESULTS IN TEMPS THAT DO NOT GET AS COLD AND MODIFY RAPIDLY.

.MARINE...A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM OVER THE EXTREME SOUTHEAST STATES
MOVES OFF INTO THE ATLANTIC TONIGHT WITH STRONG WESTERLY WINDS
BECOMING NORTHWEST TODAY THEN NORTHERLY TONIGHT. THE STRONG
OFFSHORE FLOW SUBSIDES FRIDAY INTO FRIDAY NIGHT AS HIGH PRESSURE
BUILDS INTO THE REGION. A LIGHT NORTHERLY FLOW PREVAILS FOR
SATURDAY AND SUNDAY AND THEN INCREASES ON MONDAY AS STRONGER HIGH
