The local office's own words before this small craft advisory went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS Mobile, AL wrote its last area forecast discussion before this small craft advisory went out at Jan 30, 1:17 AM CST, 2 hours 25 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Jan 30, 1:17 AM CST, 2 hours 25 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MOBILE AL
117 AM CST WED JAN 30 2013
.UPDATE...MOBILE BAY NOAA PORT OBS AND AREA WEBCAMS SHOW THAT AREAS OF
FOG HAVE DEVELOPED OVER THE NEAR SHORE ALABAMA GULF WATERS...MISSISSIPPI
SOUND... AND MOBILE BAY. THIS IS DUE TO THE STRONG ADVECTION OF WARM
AND MOIST AIR OVER THE COOLER WATER TEMPERATURES. A MARINE DENSE FOG
ADVISORY HAS BEEN ISSUED UNTIL 10 AM AS VISIBILITIES ARE EXPECTED TO
REMAIN BELOW ONE MILE THROUGH MOST OF THIS TIME.
ALSO MADE SOME MINOR ADJUSTMENTS TO POPS/LOW TEMPS FOR THE REST OF
THE NIGHT TO ACCOUNT FOR CURRENT OBSERVATIONS. TEMPS MOST AREAS WILL
STAY IN THE UPPER 60S TO LOWER 70S WITH LITTLE FURTHER DROP AS
SOUTHERLY WINDS CONTINUE TO INCREASE.
06Z LIX SOUNDING SHOWS A CAPPING INVERSION JUST ABOVE 800 MB THAT
WILL KEEP MOST OVERNIGHT ACTIVITY AS JUST SHOWERS. THE CAP WILL
BEGIN TO ERODE OVER THE WESTERN ZONES BY DAYBREAK...WHICH WILL RESULT
IN AN INCREASED THREAT FOR STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS AS ACTIVITY MOVES
IN FROM THE WEST. FURTHER DETAILS WILL BE PROVIDED IN THE ROUTINE
MORNING DISCUSSION IN A FEW HOURS. 34/JFB
&&
.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 1125 PM CST TUE JAN 29 2013/
AVIATION (30/06Z TAF ISSUANCE)...LOW CLOUDS AND FOG LIKELY THIS
EVENING. OTHERWISE LOW CLOUDS OF IFR CRITERIA EXPECTED THROUGH MOST
OF THE PERIOD...GRADUALLY LIFTING AFTER FROPA WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON.
IFR/LIFR CRITERIA DUE TO SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ASSOCIATED WITH
THE FRONT. GUSTY SOUTHERLY WINDS WILL CONTINUE THROUGH WEDNESDAY
MORNING BEFORE BECOMING WEST AND NORTHWEST WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON. /13
UPDATE...HAVE ISSUED A WIND ADVISORY FOR SOUTHWEST AND SOUTH CENTRAL
ALABAMA AND THE NORTHWEST FLORIDA PANHANDLE FOR WEDNESDAY. MADE
OTHER MINOR ADJUSTMENTS AS WELL. /29
PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 419 PM CST TUE JAN 29 2013/
.SEVERE WEATHER POSSIBLE WEDNESDAY...
SHORT TERM [TONIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT]...SOUTHERLY FLOW OVER THE
AREA TO REMAIN TONIGHT. GUIDANCE SHOWS THE COLD FRONT ENTERING THE
WESTERN PORTIONS OF THE FA BY 12Z/WED MORNING. MOST OF THE SEVERE
WEATHER RISK IS TO OUR NORTH BUT WE BELIEVE A SIGNIFICANT RISK OF
SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE PRESENT WEDNESDAY. 500 MB BAROCLINIC
WAVE DIGGING DEEPLY AND MOVING IN FROM THE PLAINS WITH THE APEX IN
THE EDWARDS PLATEAU AREA OF TEXAS. THE TROUGH IS ASSOCIATED WITH A
ISOTACH MAX OVER EASTERN OKLAHOMA PER MODEL CALCULATIONS OF THE LAST
SEVERAL GFS MODEL CYCLES. THE ALIGNMENT OF SURFACE AND UPPER
FEATURES ARE SHOWING ADVECTIVE PROCESSES CAUSING SURFACE PRESSURE
FALLS AHEAD OF IT. INTRODUCING INCREASED CHANCE FOR RAIN BEGINNING
AT 30/00Z THIS EVENING. RADAR SHOWS SHOWERS ORGANIZING INTO
CONVECTIVE ROLLS OR BANDS DUE TO CONVECTIVE SCALE VERTICAL
CIRCULATION. RAIN CHANCES BECOMING LIKELY TO CATEGORICAL LATE
TONIGHT IN ANTICIPATION OF A SQUALL LINE MOVING INTO OUR SOUTHEAST
MISSISSIPPI COUNTIES BY SUNRISE. OMEGA FORCING OF -10 UBAR/S WITH
LAPSE RATE 4 TO 5 DEG K PER KM IS INDICATED WITH THE SQUALL LINE
ARRIVAL. THE SQUALL LINE IS CALCULATED MOVING RAPIDLY EAST AND
EXITING THE CWA AS EARLY AS 31/00Z. DURING THAT PERIOD...CAPES WOULD
STAY BELOW 300 J/KG...LI -2.0 TO 2.5 OR MORE...AND PRECIPITABLE
WATER BELOW 2 INCHES. HOWEVER THE 850 MB FLOW IS THE BIG CONCERN
HERE IF THE PARENT LOW DOES NOT MOVE AS FAR NORTH AS EXPECTED
REACHING LAKE HURON BY 12Z WEDNESDAY PER THE GFS 40. THE EURO IS
TRYING TO DIG IT FURTHER SOUTHWEST INTO ILLINOIS...WHICH WOULD
INDICATE INCREASED 850 MB WIND PERHAPS 5 TO 10 KNOTS WITH THE EURO
OUTPUT. IN ANY CASE 850 WIND 50 TO 55 KNOTS IS INDICATED WITH A RISK
OF BEING TRANSPORTED DOWNWARD IN CONVECTION.
AFTER THE CONVECTIVE LINE PASSES...THE WIND SHIFT WILL BE WEST 10 TO
15 MPH AND GUSTY. NOT EXPECTING A WIND ADVISORY WOULD BE NEEDED BUT
IT WILL BE BREEZY AND COOL BUT NOT SUBFREEZING.
LONG TERM [FRIDAY THROUGH MONDAY]...NO CHANGES. SURFACE HIGH
EXPANDS EASTWARD OVER THE SOUTHERN STATES THURSDAY AND FRIDAY
BRINGING A DRY FORECAST. THE GLOBAL MODELS BRING ANOTHER FRONTAL
PASSAGE ACROSS THE SOUTHERN STATES SATURDAY NIGHT WHICH REINFORCES
HIGH PRESSURE FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE WEEKEND. COULD BE A FEW
SHOWERS WITH THE WEEKEND FRONT...BUT CHANCES ARE SLIM > AROUND 10%.
HIGH TEMPERATURES VERY CLOSE TO SEASONAL THURSDAY AND MOVES BACK
INTO THE UPPER 60S BY SATURDAY AND REMAINING IN THIS RANGE THROUGH
EARLY NEXT WEEK.
77/BD
MARINE...SOUTHEAST FLOW IS FORECAST TO INCREASE TONIGHT INTO EARLY
WEDNESDAY AS A FRONTAL BOUNDARY APPROACHES FROM THE WEST. THE FRONT
IS EXPECTED TO MOVE EAST ACROSS THE COASTAL WATERS ON WEDNESDAY...
WITH AN EVEN STRONGER WEST TO NORTHWEST FLOW EXPECTED IN ITS WAKE.
WINDS AND SEAS ARE EXPECTED TO REACH SMALL CRAFT CRITERIA TONIGHT
THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT...AND SMALL CRAFT ADVISORIES ARE IN EFFECT
FOR THAT TIME PERIOD. SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS...SOME
STRONG PRODUCING LOCALLY HIGHER WINDS AND SEAS...ARE EXPECTED IN
ADVANCE OF THE FRONT. SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE WILL APPROACH...THEN MOVE
ACROSS THE AREA THURSDAY THROUGH FRIDAY...WITH THE STRONG OFFSHORE
FLOW BECOMING A LIGHT TO MODERATE ONSHORE FOR THE BEGINNING OF THE
WEEKEND...BUT A WEAK FRONT IS EXPECTED TO MOVE ACROSS THE AREA
SATURDAY NIGHT...BRINGING A LIGHT TO MODERATE OFFSHORE FLOW FOR
SUNDAY INTO MONDAY. 12/DS
FIRE...A SQUALL LINE WILL MOVE IN EARLY WEDNESDAY. SOME STORMS WILL
BRING STRONG GUSTY WINDS...SOMETIMES IN EXCESS OF 60 MPH. SQUALL LINE
WILL BE FOLLOWED BY A WIND SHIFT AND RAPIDLY FALLING TEMPERATURES.
STRONG SOUTH WIND IN MIXING LAYER TONIGHT BECOMES SHIFTS TO WESTERLY
WITH FRONTAL PASSAGE. DAYTIME DISPERSION FROM 70 TO 120.
