AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...AVIATION UPDATE
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MOBILE AL
1145 PM CDT FRI MAR 28 2014

AVIATION (29.06Z ISSUANCE)...A LINE OF THUNDERSTORMS WILL MOVE
ACROSS THE TERMINALS BETWEEN 07-12Z SATURDAY MORNING. IFR/LIFR
CONDITIONS ARE POSSIBLE IN AROUND THE THUNDERSTORMS. CONDITIONS WILL
IMPROVE AFTER 15-17Z WITH VFR CONDITIONS AND GUSTY NORTHWEST WINDS
DEVELOPING. /13

&&

.UPDATE...CURRENT RADAR IMAGERY INDICATES CALM CONDITIONS ACROSS MOST
OF THE CENTRAL GULF COAST WITH ONLY A FEW SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS
OFFSHORE. HOWEVER...REGIONAL RADAR AND IR IMAGERY CLEARLY SHOWS A
LINE OF STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS APPROACHING THE MISSISSIPPI
RIVER. THE MOST INTENSE PORTION OF THE LINE IS THE SOUTHERN END
WHICH IS MOVING THROUGH A THETA-E RIDGE WITH SBCAPES OF 1000-2000
J/KG. ONCE THIS LINE CROSSES INTO MISSISSIPPI AND CONTINUES EAST IT
WILL MOVE OUT OF THE THETA-E RIDGE AND ASSOCIATED BEST INSTABILITY
AND INTO A MORE STABLE AIRMASS WITH SFC DEWPOINTS ONLY IN THE UPPER
50S TO AROUND 60 ACROSS SOUTHEAST MISSISSIPPI AND SOUTHWEST ALABAMA.
THEREFORE...WE EXPECT THE LINE TO GRADUALLY WEAKEN AS IT PROGRESSES
INTO SOUTHEAST MISSISSIPPI BETWEEN 12 AM AND 1 AM AND CONTINUES EAST
ACROSS THE GULF COAST DURING THE EARLY MORNING HOURS ON SATURDAY.
THE PRIMARY THREAT WILL BE ADDITIONAL HEAVY RAINFALL WHICH WILL ONLY
AGGRAVATE ANY ONGOING FLOODING FROM THE STORMS EARLIER TODAY. SEVERE
THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT CANNOT BE RULED OUT DUE TO STEEP MID LEVEL
LAPSE RATES THAT WILL CONTINUE TO SPREAD EASTWARD ACROSS THE AREA
OVERNIGHT. LARGE HAIL AND WIND GUSTS TO 60 MPH WILL BE THE MAIN
THREATS WITH ANY SEVERE STORMS. THE GREATEST THREAT FOR SEVERE
THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT WILL BE WEST OF INTERSTATE 65...RAPIDLY
DECREASING EAST OF THERE.

THE ONGOING FORECAST LOOKED GOOD AND ONLY MINOR CHANGES WERE MADE. WE
HAVE ALSO EXTENDED THE HIGH SURF ADVISORY AND HIGH RIP CURRENT RISK
THROUGH SATURDAY MORNING. UPDATES HAVE ALREADY BEEN SENT. /13

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 358 PM CDT FRI MAR 28 2014/

SHORT TERM...(TONIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY)...[THROUGH TONIGHT]...THE
INTENSE QUASI-LINEAR MESOSCALE CONVECTIVE SYSTEM THAT DEVELOPED
ACROSS SOUTHWEST ALABAMA AND THE NORTHWEST FLORIDA PANHANDLE THIS
MORNING HAS PUSHED THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE FLORIDA PANHANDLE
AND INTO THE NORTHEASTERN GULF OF MEXICO EARLY THIS AFTERNOON.
REGIONAL RADAR IMAGERY STILL SHOWS A LARGE AREA OF SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS EXTENDING FROM SOUTHEAST LOUISIANA THROUGH THE
NORTHERN GULF OF MEXICO...WITH THE NORTHERN FRINGE OF THE CONVECTION
STRETCHING ACROSS COASTAL SOUTHWEST ALABAMA AND THE NORTHWEST
FLORIDA PANHANDLE. MOST PRECIPITATION HAS DIMINISHED OVER INTERIOR
PORTIONS OF THE FORECAST AREA AS OF EARLY THIS AFTERNOON. EXTENSIVE
CLOUD COVER AND RAINFALL HAS KEPT TEMPERATURES IN THE LOWER 60S
ACROSS MOST LOCATIONS THIS AFTERNOON.

THE INITIAL MID LEVEL SHORTWAVE TROUGH RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS
MORNING'S CONVECTION WILL CONTINUE TO ADVANCE EASTWARD THIS
AFTERNOON. HOWEVER...THE NEXT UPSTREAM SHORTWAVE CURRENTLY MOVING
ACROSS THE SOUTHERN PLAINS AND TOWARD THE ARKLATEX REGION IS FIRING
NEW SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS FROM CENTRAL AND NORTHEAST TEXAS
THROUGH THE VICINITY OF NORTHEAST OKLAHOMA AND PORTIONS OF ARKANSAS.
THE ATMOSPHERE IS DESTABILIZING ACROSS LOUISIANA AND WESTERN
MISSISSIPPI AHEAD OF THIS FEATURE...WHERE MESOSCALE ANALYSIS SHOWS
2000-3000+ J/KG OF SURFACE BASED CAPE EARLY THIS AFTERNOON. THE
LATEST HIGH RESOLUTION/SHORT RANGE MODEL SOLUTIONS ARE COMING INTO
AGREEMENT WITH THE DEVELOPMENT OF ANOTHER MESOSCALE CONVECTIVE
SYSTEM ACROSS ARKANSAS/LOUISIANA/WESTERN MISSISSIPPI VICINITY THIS
EVENING...BEFORE PROGRESSING THE CONVECTIVE COMPLEX EASTWARD TOWARD
OUR FORECAST AREA LATE THIS EVENING INTO THE OVERNIGHT/EARLY
SATURDAY MORNING HOURS. PRIOR TO THE ARRIVAL OF THIS NEXT ROUND OF
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS...WE COULD SEE SCATTERED SHOWERS AND
STORMS LATE THIS AFTERNOON INTO THIS EVENING...PARTICULARLY NEAR THE
COAST. HOWEVER...LATER THIS EVENING...WITH MLCAPE VALUES POTENTIALLY
RANGING BETWEEN 500-1500 J/KG...DEEP LAYER SHEAR VALUES OF 45-55+
KNOTS...AND STEEPENING MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES TO AROUND 8
C/KM...THERE WILL BE POTENTIAL FOR SEVERE STORMS LATE THIS EVENING
AND OVERNIGHT...BOTH WITH THE MAIN COMPLEX AND WITH ANY DISCRETE
CELLS THAT MAY DEVELOP AHEAD OF THE APPROACHING MCS. WILL MENTION
SEVERE WORDING IN THE GRIDS LATE TONIGHT. ALSO...MANY LOCATIONS IN
THE CWFA RECEIVED BETWEEN 2-4 INCHES OF RAIN WITH ISOLATED AMOUNTS
OVER 5 INCHES WITH THIS MORNING'S CONVECTION. SEVERAL REPORTS OF
EXTENSIVE FLOODING WERE RELAYED...PARTICULARLY FROM SOUTHERN BALDWIN
COUNTY INTO COASTAL NORTHWEST FLORIDA. GIVEN THE ANTECEDENT
SATURATED SOILS AND THE POTENTIAL FOR ADDITIONAL HEAVY RAIN
TONIGHT...WE HAVE ISSUED A FLASH FLOOD WATCH FOR MOST OF THE
FORECAST AREA THROUGH SATURDAY MORNING. THE TEMPERATURE FORECAST
LOOKED GOOD...AND ONLY MADE MINOR ADJUSTMENTS. /21

SATURDAY...THE PRECIP MOVES QUICKLY EAST OF THE FA SATURDAY MORNING
AND THE AREA DRIES OUT BY THE END OF THE DAY. FEEL THAT THE STRONGER
WEATHER EXPECTED TONIGHT WILL BE EAST OF THE FA AROUND OR SHORTLY
AFTER SUNRISE SATURDAY...WITH SOME RESIDUAL RAIN OVER MAINLY EASTERN
SECTIONS OF THE FA. /16

LONG TERM...(SATURDAY NIGHT ON)...AS A CLOSED UPPER LOW OVER THE
SOUTHEASTERN CONUS MOVES OFF TO THE EAST...MORE UPPER ENERGY MOVES
EAST OVER THE NORTHERN/CENTRAL PLAINS. THIS PUSHES SURFACE HIGH
PRESSURE FROM OVER THE MISS RIVER VALLEY TO OVER THE EASTERN SEABOARD
BY THE END OF THE DAY MONDAY...AND RE-ESTABLISHING ONSHORE FLOW OVER
THE FA. COOLER AIR MOVES OVER THE AREA SATURDAY NIGHT...BRINGING
TEMPS BELOW SEASONAL FOR SATURDAY NIGHT AND SUNDAY. AS WINDS SHIFT TO
SOUTHEASTERLY...TEMPS CONTINUE TO MODERATE UPWARD...WITH DAYTIME
HIGHS MONDAY AROUND SEASONAL.

MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY....MORE UPPER ENERGY PASSING OVER THE
PLAINS PUSH A SURFACE FRONT EAST ACROSS THE PLAINS...BUT WITH AN
UPPER LEVEL RIDGE HANGING TOUGH OVER THE EASTERN CONUS...THE UPPER
DYNAMICS GET A NORTHEAST SHOVE AS THE MOVE TOWARDS AND OVER THE
MID/UPPER MISS RIVER VALLEY AND THE FRONT STAYS WELL TO THE NORTHWEST
OF THE FA. THE ONSHORE FLOW PUMPS UP THE MOISTURE LEVELS THROUGH THE
WEEK...WITH GUIDANCE ADVERTISING RAIN COMING BACK INTO THE FORECAST
THURSDAY AND AFTER.

THURSDAY NIGHT INTO THE WEEKEND CONTINUE TO SEE SIGNIFICANT
DIVERGENCE IN THE GUIDANCE...WITH A CLOSED LOW MOVING OVER THE PLAINS
THURSDAY INTO FRIDAY...THE UPPER RIDGE OVER THE EASTERN CONUS
DEFLECTS IT NORTH. DEPENDING UPON WHICH INTERPRETATION ONE LOOKS
AT...A FRONT CAN CROSS THE AREA EITHER FRIDAY(GFS) OR STALLS OVER THE
FA(ECMWF) SO THE COMING WEEKEND CAN EITHER BE COOLER AND DRIER OR
WET.

MARINE...THE INTENSE LINE OF STORMS THAT PUSHED ACROSS THE MARINE
AREA PRODUCED WIND GUSTS WELL OVER 30 KNOTS...AND SEAS REMAIN
ELEVATED AROUND 7 FEET OVER THE OFFSHORE WATERS. WE HAVE EXTENDED
THE SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY UNTIL 7 PM CDT. MODERATE TO OCCASIONALLY
STRONG SOUTHEAST TO SOUTH SYNOPTIC FLOW WILL PERSIST THROUGH
TONIGHT. WINDS WILL TURN NORTHWEST TO NORTH SATURDAY INTO SATURDAY
NIGHT FOLLOWING THE PASSAGE OF A COLD FRONT. WIND SPEEDS WILL LIKELY
INCREASE TO ADVISORY LEVELS BY SATURDAY NIGHT...AND ANOTHER SMALL
CRAFT ADVISORY WILL LIKELY BECOME NECESSARY. /21

WINDS DIMINISH SUN-MON AS A SFC HIGH MOVES OVER THE REGION. A MORE
PREDOMINATE LIGHT TO MODERATE ONSHORE FLOW DEVELOPS BY TUESDAY AS
THE SFC HIGH MOVES EAST. PERIODS OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE
EXPECTED THROUGH TONIGHT. STRONG WIND GUSTS...FREQUENT LIGHTNING...
AND TORRENTIAL DOWNPOURS CAN BE EXPECTED THE STRONGER STORMS. THERE
IS A POTENTIAL FOR A FEW STORMS TO BECOME SEVERE LATE TONIGHT.
