AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION....UPDATE TO AVIATION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MOBILE AL
530 PM CST MON DEC 9 2013

.AVIATION (00Z ISSUANCE)...WITH A FRONT DRAPED ACROSS THE
AREA...MVFR TI IFR CIGS EXPECTED OVER MOST OF THE AREA...WITH LOCAL
VFR CIGS. AS THE FRONT SAGS SOUTHEAST ACROSS THE AREA
TONIGHT...DROPS IN CIGS/VISBYS TO IFR OR LOWER LIKELY...THEN RISING
TO VFR DURING THE DAY TUESDAY.

/16

&&

.SHORT TERM (TONIGHT AND TUESDAY)...THE FRONT THAT HAD BEEN NEARLY
STATIONARY ACROSS OUR FCST AREA HAS FINALLY DRIFTED OFF TO THE EAST
AND WILL REMAIN JUST EAST OF THE AREA TONIGHT BEFORE GETTING A
STRONGER PUSH AND MOVING AWAY FROM THE REGION ON TUESDAY. THERE HAS
BEEN BRIEF CLEARING OF SKIES LATE TODAY OVER PARTS OF THE FCST AREA
BEHIND THE FRONT...BUT WITH SATURATED AIRMASS UP TO AROUND 850 MB
EXPECT WIDESPREAD LOW CLOUDS THAT STILL COVER MOST OF THE REGION TO
REDEVELOP OVERNIGHT. THE LOLVL E-NE WINDS BEHIND THE FRONT HOWEVER
WILL PREVENT WIDESPREAD DENSE FOG...ALTHOUGH PATCHY LIGHT FOG WILL
BE POSSIBLE. EVEN WITH THE SFC FRONT OFF TO THE EAST...SHALLOW
NATURE OF THE COLD AIR WILL CONTINUE TO PROVIDE WEAK LOLVL LIFT OVER
THE REGION...AND A STRONG UPPER LEVEL SHORTWAVE IS EXPECTED TO
APPROACH NORTHERN ALABAMA REGION LATE TONIGHT AND MOVE ACROSS AREA
BY TUESDAY MORNING. THIS WILL RESULT IN INCREASED RAIN CHANCES AGAIN
TONIGHT...ESPECIALLY OVER NORTHERN HALF OF FCST AREA. MOSTLY
STRATIFORM AND SOME SHOWERS...BUT NOT A LOT OF STRONGER CONVECTIVE
ACTIVITY (TSTMS). MIN TEMPS TONIGHT RANGING FROM THE IN THE LOWER
40S NORTHWEST...MID 40S CENTRAL AND LOW/MID 50S SOUTHEAST. ON
TUESDAY...GRADUALLY CLEARING SKIES THROUGH THE DAY. HIGH TEMPS IN
THE LOW TO MID 50S INTERIOR AND COASTAL SOUTHWEST ZONES...AND LOWER
60S OVER FLORIDA PANHANDLE ZONES. 12/DS

.TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT...CONFIDENCE REMAINS HIGH
THAT ABOUT SIGNIFICANT CHANGE THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE SHORT
TERM. STRONG PERTURBATION PASSING NORTH OF THE AREA WILL SEND A COLD
FRONT RAPIDLY SOUTHWARD ACROSS THE GULF OF MEXICO OVERNIGHT THROUGH
TUESDAY. EXPECT DRY CONDITIONS THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT. A MODERATE TO
STRONG NORTHERLY WIND EARLY TUESDAY EVENING WILL DIE DOWN OVERNIGHT
WITH CLEAR TO MOSTLY CLEAR SKIES THROUGH THE PERIOD. A STRONG HIGH
OVER THE GREAT PLAINS WILL MOVE EAST INTO THE TENNESSEE VALLEY
THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT...WITH STRONG RIDGING AND A REINFORCING COLD
AIR PUSHING INTO THE REGION WEDNESDAY NIGHT. 77/BD

.LONG TERM...NO CHANGES. LARGE SURFACE ANTICYCLONE OVER THE MID
SOUTH WILL DOMINATE THE WEATHER OVER THE SOUTHEAST STATES ON
THURSDAY. THE FEATURE WILL MOVE EAST OVER THE WESTERN ATLANTIC ON
FRIDAY. REGION REMAINING RAIN FREE THROUGH FRIDAY MORNING. DRY ZONAL
FLOW ALOFT WILL TRANSITION TO A DEEP SOUTHWEST FLOW WITH INCREASING
MOISTURE LATE IN THE WEEK AHEAD OF DEEP PERTURBATION DIGGING INTO THE
FLOW OVER THE SOUTHERN PLAINS. WE WILL INTRODUCE A RETURN TO A SLIGHT
CHANCE OF RAIN FRIDAY AFTERNOON...FOLLOWED BY INCREASING RAIN CHANCES
FRIDAY NIGHT INTO SATURDAY AS THE THE UPPER FEATURE APPROACHES FROM
THE WEST WITH PASSAGE OF A COLD FRONT ACROSS THE REGION. DRY WEATHER
WILL RETURN THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE LONG TERM (EARLY NEXT WEEK)
BEHIND THESE FEATURES EXIT AND A HIGH ONCE AGAIN DOMINATES THE
SOUTHEAST UNITED STATES.

&&

.MARINE...THE FRONT THAT HAD BEEN NEARLY STATIONARY ACROSS THE
MARINE AREA HAS NOW MOVED JUST EAST...WITH A GENERAL LIGHT NORTHERLY
FLOW EXPECTED OVER THE COASTAL WATERS THROUGH EARLY TUESDAY. BY
TUESDAY AFTERNOON INTO TUESDAY NIGHT...A STRONG OFFSHORE FLOW WILL
DEVELOP ALONG WITH BUILDING SEAS...AND A SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY WILL
LIKELY BE REQUIRED. WINDS LIGHTEN UP FROM AN EASTERLY DIRECTION BY
FRIDAY...BUT BEGIN TO PICK UP AGAIN GOING INTO THE WEEKEND AS
ANOTHER FRONT APPROACHES FROM THE WEST. 12/DS
