AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MOBILE AL
437 AM CST SUN NOV 23 2014

...SQUALL LINE APPROACHES AND MOVES EAST ACROSS THE AREA TODAY AND
BRINGS POTENTIAL OF DAMAGING WINDS AND ISOLATED TORNADOES...

.SHORT TERM [TODAY AND TONIGHT]...VIGOROUS MID LEVEL STORM SYSTEM WAS
MOVING ACROSS EASTERN TEXAS THIS MORNING WITH AN AREA OF COLD CLOUD
TOPS INDICATED ON IR SATELLITE IMAGERY FROM COAST SOUTHWEST LOUISIANA
TO OFF THE LOUISIANA COAST. COLDER CLOUDS/CONCENTRATED LIGHTNING
DATA IS POSITIONED IN THE MORE ESTABLISHED...HIGH LEVEL DIFFLUENT
FLOW AS THE MID LEVEL SYSTEM WILL SOON BEGIN LIFTING NORTHEAST. A
STRONGLY DEFINED NEGATIVE TILT APPEARANCE AND DIFFLUENT FLOW TO THE
MID/UPPER LEVEL HEIGHTS WILL MOVE ACROSS THE CENTRAL GULF COAST BY
THE NOON HOUR. THIS WILL CAUSE ENHANCED ASCENT IN A DEVELOPING WARM
AND MOIST SECTOR AS A WARM FRONT SURGES NORTHWARD ACROSS
ALABAMA/MISSISSIPPI. LOW LEVEL WIND PROFILES VEER WITH H85
SOUTHWESTERLY LOW LEVEL JET STREAK INCREASING TO 50 TO 60 KNOTS
DURING THE LATE MORNING TO MID AFTERNOON. LATEST SHORT RANGE
MESOSCALE MODELS INDICATE HODOGRAPHS BECOMING STRONGLY CURVED WITH
0-1 KM STORM RELATIVE HELICITY VALUES RANGING FROM 150 TO 300 M2/S2.
THIS SUPPORTS ROTATING STORM UPDRAFTS AND ISOLATED TORNADOES IN
DISCRETE CELLS THAT FORM OUT AHEAD OF MAIN SQUALL LINE THAT IS
PROGGED TO MAKE EASTWARD PROGRESS OVER THE CENTRAL GULF COAST. LATEST
HIGH RESOLUTION WEATHER MODELS INDICATE TIMING OF THIS LINE ACROSS
SOUTHEAST MS BETWEEN 9 AM AND NOON...MOVING INTO SOUTHWEST AL AROUND
THE NOON HOUR AND MOVING ACROSS THE WESTERN FLORIDA PANHANDLE BETWEEN
1 AND 3 PM. IN ADDITION TO THE ISOLATED TORNADO THREAT WILL BE THE
POTENTIAL OF LOCALIZED DAMAGING WIND GUSTS IN ANY BOWING LINE
SEGMENTS. LOCALLY HEAVY RAINS ALSO POSSIBLE...BUT THE RAPID EASTWARD
PROGRESSION OF THE LINE...IS EXPECTED TO MITIGATE WIDESPREAD FLOODING
ISSUES. LOOKS LIKE WET WEATHER WILL BE MOVING EAST OF THE LOCAL AREA
BY AND AFTER 3 PM. CLOUDS LOOK TO LINGER LONGER AS LOW LEVEL CYCLONIC
CURVATURE IN HEIGHT FIELD ALOFT REMAINS IN PLACE. HIGH TEMPERATURES
IN THE LOWER HALF OF THE 70S WITH OVERNIGHT LOWS IN THE LOWER/MID 50S
INTERIOR TO LOWER/MID 60S BEACH AREAS.

LATEST RADAR VELOCITY WIND PROFILES IN THE LOWEST 3 KFT SHOW
SOUTHEAST WINDS AT 25 TO 35 KNOTS. THESE WINDS ARE FORECAST TO
CONTINUE TO VEER AND TREND HIGHER THROUGH THE DAY AS THE UPPER LEVEL
STORM SYSTEM MAKES A CLOSER APPROACH. GOOD MIXING SHOULD ALLOW FOR A
WINDY DAY WITH EAST NORTHEAST WINDS THIS MORNING BECOMING SOUTH TO
SOUTHWEST THROUGH THE COURSE OF THE AFTERNOON...RANGING FROM 20 TO 30
MPH WITH FREQUENT HIGHER GUSTS. A WIND ADVISORY HAS BEEN ISSUED
BEGINNING AT MID MORNING AND CONTINUING THROUGH THE AFTERNOON.

AN INCREASE IN SOUTHERLY COMPONENT IN WINDS IN COMBINATION WITH
SPRING TIDAL CYCLES AND AN INCREASE IN HIGHER PERIOD SWELL RESULTS IN
CONTINUED HIGH RISK OF DANGEROUS TO POTENTIALLY DEADLY RIP CURRENTS
ALONG THE BEACHES TODAY. /10

[MONDAY AND TUESDAY]...A COLD FRONT SWEEPING THROUGH OUR SOUTHEAST
MISSISSIPPI AND INLAND SOUTHWEST ALABAMA COUNTIES MONDAY MORNING
WILL MOVE QUICKLY SOUTHEASTWARD THROUGH THE REST OF THE FORECAST
AREA BY MID AFTERNOON. A FEW LINGERING SHOWERS AHEAD OF THE FRONT
ACROSS THE EXTREME SOUTHEAST PORTION OF OUR FORECAST AREA WILL
QUICKLY EXIT EASTWARD BY NOON MONDAY. A MASSIVE UPPER LEVEL LONGWAVE
TROUGH WILL CRADLE MUCH OF NORTH AMERICA MONDAY MORNING. A 150 KNOT
300 MB JET DIVING SOUTHEAST OVER THE NORTHWEST CONUS WILL CARVE OUT
A HIGHLY AMPLIFIED UPPER TROUGH FROM THE UPPER MIDWEST TO SOUTH
TEXAS BY TUESDAY AFTERNOON. THIS UPPER TROUGH WILL THEN ADVANCE
EASTWARD OVER THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER VALLEY BY LATE TUESDAY NIGHT.
COLD SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE WILL BE IN PLACE ACROSS THE NORTHWEST
GULF OF MEXICO AND THE LOWER MISSISSIPPI RIVER VALLEY AS A SURFACE
LOW DEVELOPING OVER THE BAY OF CAMPECHE LIFTS NORTHEAST OVER THE
EASTERN GULF BY TUESDAY EVENING...AND THEN ACROSS THE FLORIDA
PENINSULA AFTER MIDNIGHT. PRIOR TO THE ARRIVAL OF THE UPPER
SYSTEM...HIGH TEMPERATURES ACROSS THE NORTHERN GULF WILL BE IN THE
NEAR 60 WITH OVERNIGHT LOWS FALLING INTO THE MID TO UPPER 30S...SO
EXPECT A COLD RAIN TUESDAY NIGHT. /22

.LONG TERM [WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY]...UPPER ZONAL FLOW WILL RESUME
ON THURSDAY AS THE UPPER TROUGH MOVES EAST OVER THE WESTERN
ATLANTIC. SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING IN FROM THE WEST WILL
SETTLE ACROSS THE GULF OF MEXICO AND SOUTHEAST STATES THROUGH THE
REMAINDER OF THE LONG TERM. DRY AND COOL CONDITIONS WILL PERSIST
WITH HIGH TEMPERATURES EXPECTED TO RANGE FROM THE UPPER 50S TO MID
60S...AND LOW TEMPERATURES EXPECTED TO RANGE FROM THE MID 30S TO THE
MID 40S WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT...WARMING INTO THE MID
40S TO MID 50S SATURDAY NIGHT. /22

&&

.AVIATION...
23.12Z KMOB/KBFM AND KPNS TAF CYCLE
CONVECTIVE LINE IS FORECAST TO MOVE ACROSS MOB/BFM BETWEEN 17 AND
19Z AND PNS BETWEEN 18 AND 20Z. AHEAD OF THE LINE...WINDS TURN SOUTH
AND RANGE FROM 15 TO 25 KNOTS WITH HIGHER GUSTS. STRONGER WINDS
EXPECTED WITH PASSING CONVECTION. IFR/LIFR CIGS AND VSBY POSSIBLE IN
CONVECTION. /10

&&

.MARINE...A STRENGTHENING SURFACE LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM MOVES INTO THE
LOWER TO MID MISSISSIPPI RIVER VALLEY TODAY. AS THIS OCCURS...STRONG
EAST TO SOUTHEAST WINDS WILL BECOME SOUTH TO SOUTHWEST AND INCREASE.
FREQUENT WIND GUSTS TO GALE FORCE ARE LIKELY THROUGH MOST OF THE DAY
TODAY OVER THE OPEN ALABAMA AND NORTHWEST FLORIDA COASTAL WATERS.
SMALL CRAFT ADVISORIES REMAIN UP ACROSS BAYS AND SOUNDS. HIGH SEAS
CONTINUE. DATA COLLECTION PLATFORMS AT 23.09Z INDICATE SEAS OF 8 FEET
AT BUOY 42012 AND 42040. AS SQUALL LINE OF STORMS MOVE EAST
TODAY...WINDS...WAVES AND SEAS WILL BE LOCALLY HIGHER. MARINERS
SHOULD BE ALERT TO SEVERE STORMS WHICH WILL LIKELY BRING INSTANCES OF
WIND GUSTS IN EXCESS OF 50 KNOTS. ISOLATED TORNADOES ALSO POSSIBLE.
FREQUENT CLOUD TO WATER LIGHTNING AND LOCALLY HEAVY...VISIBILITY
REDUCING RAINS WILL BE COMMON IN STRONG TO SEVERE MARINE STORMS
TODAY. LOW PRESSURE RESPONSIBLE FOR UNSETTLED WEATHER CONDITIONS
TODAY...LIFTS QUICKLY NORTHEAST...UP ACROSS THE GREAT LAKES ON MONDAY
WITH HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING ACROSS THE SOUTHERN STATES INTO THE
MIDDLE OF THE WEEK. WINDS DECREASE AND SEAS SUBSIDE INTO THE MIDDLE
OF THE WEEK. /10
