AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MOBILE AL
1036 AM CDT FRI APR 4 2014

.MESOSCALE UPDATE...THE LINE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS THAT
PRODUCED SEVERE WEATHER TO OUR NORTH AND WEST LAST NIGHT HAS WEAKENED
AS IT MOVES INTO SOUTHEAST MISSISSIPPI AND SOUTHWEST ALABAMA THIS
MORNING. THE WEAKENING IS DUE TO THE UPPER DYNAMICS PULLING AWAY AND
THE SYSTEM OUTRUNNING THE COLD FRONT WHICH IS STILL WELL TO OUR WEST.
MORNING SOUNDINGS ALSO INDICATE A STRONGLY CAPPED ATMOSPHERE ACROSS
THE AREA. THEREFORE...THE SEVERE THREAT IS LOW THIS MORNING. THE
SEVERE THREAT FOR THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING REMAINS UNCERTAIN DUE TO
HOW MUCH THE ATMOSPHERE IS ABLE TO RECOVER IN ADVANCE OF THE COLD
FRONT AND THIS WILL HAVE TO BE MONITORED CLOSELY THROUGH THE DAY. AN
ISOLATED SEVERE STORM WITH DAMAGING WINDS AND LARGE HAIL IS POSSIBLE.
IN ADDITION...THE DENSE FOG ADVISORY HAS BEEN EXTENDED THROUGH 7 PM
THIS EVENING FOR PORTIONS OF THE MARINE AREA. /13

SOUTHERLY FLOW INTO THE BEACHES ALONG WITH SURF OF 2 TO 3 FEET AND
INCOMING SWELL HAS RESULTED IN INCREASED RIP CURRENT ACTIVITY ALONG
THE BEACHES. RIP CURRENT RISK HAS BEEN ELEVATED TO HIGH THROUGH THE
EVENING. /10

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION WITH SOME MINOR ADJUSTMENTS...

SHORT TERM...(TODAY THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT)...POTENT UPPER LEVEL STORM
SYSTEM WILL CONTINUE ITS NORTHEASTWARD MOTION FROM THE UPPER MIDWEST
TOWARD THE GREAT LAKES REGION TODAY...WHILE THE SURFACE COLD FRONT
CONTINUES TO PUSH SOUTHEASTWARD...APPROACHING SOUTHEAST MISSISSIPPI
AND INTERIOR SOUTHWEST ALABAMA BY LATE THIS AFTERNOON. HIGH
RESOLUTION MODEL DATA HAS BEEN CONSISTENT WITH PROPAGATING A LINEAR
MCS SOUTHEASTWARD THROUGH CENTRAL MISSISSIPPI AND NORTHWEST ALABAMA
DURING THROUGH THE MORNING HOURS...BEFORE SHOWING A GRADUAL WEAKENING
OF THE COMPLEX AS IT MOVES SOUTHEAST THROUGH THE FORECAST AREA. NEW
CONVECTION POTENTIALLY DEVELOPS LATE THIS MORNING INTO THE AFTERNOON
WITHIN THE UNSTABLE AIRMASS AHEAD OF THE APPROACHING COLD FRONT. THE
RAP AND GFS SOLUTIONS ARE MOST OPTIMISTIC WITH AVAILABLE INSTABILITY
ACROSS OUR FORECAST AREA THIS MORNING INTO THE AFTERNOON...BOTH
SHOWING MLCAPE VALUES ON THE ORDER OF 1000-1500 J/KG IN THE PRE-
FRONTAL ENVIRONMENT. 0-6 KM SHEAR VALUES ARE HIGHEST OVER
NORTHERN/NORTHWESTERN PORTIONS OF OUR FORECAST AREA TODAY...
GENERALLY BETWEEN 40-45 KNOTS. 700-500 MB LAPSE RATES LOOK TO
GENERALLY RANGE BETWEEN 7-7.5 C/KM. THE LOW LEVEL JET GENERALLY
WEAKENS THROUGH THE DAY AS BETTER DYNAMICS PULL NORTHEAST AWAY FROM
THE REGION. GIVEN THE AVAILABLE INSTABILITY AND SHEAR...A FEW STRONG
TO SEVERE STORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE TODAY...PRIMARILY OVER INTERIOR
PORTIONS OF SOUTHEAST MISSISSIPPI AND SOUTHWEST AND SOUTH CENTRAL
ALABAMA...AND WILL OPT TO KEEP ISOLATED SEVERE WORDING IN THE GRIDS
ACROSS THESE LOCATIONS TODAY. THIS MATCHES WELL WITH THE LATEST SPC
DAY 1 SEVERE WEATHER OUTLOOK. THE PRIMARY SEVERE HAZARD WILL BE
DAMAGING WINDS THOUGH ISOLATED INSTANCES OF LARGE HAIL WILL ALSO BE
POSSIBLE. THE HIGHER COVERAGE OF SHOWERS AND STORMS WILL BE
GENERALLY ALONG AND NORTHWEST OF I-65 WITH LOWER CHANCES ACROSS
SOUTHEASTERN PORTIONS OF THE CWFA.

THE MOISTURE AXIS GRADUALLY BECOMES WEST-EAST ORIENTED ACROSS MAINLY
SOUTHERN PORTIONS OF THE FORECAST AREA AND INTO THE NORTHERN GULF
WATERS TONIGHT AS THE COLD FRONT GRADUALLY PUSHES OFFSHORE. LIFT AND
ELEVATED INSTABILITY WITHIN THE MOISTURE ZONE WILL SUPPORT A
CONTINUED CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS OUR FORECAST
AREA THROUGH THE NIGHT...WITH BETTER CHANCES FOCUSED CLOSER TO THE
COAST AND OFFSHORE. COOLER TEMPS ARE EXPECTED TONIGHT IN THE WAKE OF
THE FRONT...WITH LOWS RANGING FROM AROUND 50 OVER INTERIOR
NORTHWESTERN AREAS TO THE MID 50S TO AROUND 60 ELSEWHERE. /21

SATURDAY THROUGH SUNDAY...UPPER SHORTWAVE OVER THE SW-ERN CONUS SWIGS
EAST...TO JUST EAST OF THE SOUTHERN US ROCKIES BY SUNDAY EVENING.
THIS DRAWS THE SURFACE FRONT WHICH STALLED OVER THE NORTHERN GULF OF
MEX BACK NORTH. THIS FRONT THEN BECOMES THE FOCUS FOR ISENTROPIC
UPGLIDE SHRA AND ELEVATED TSRA. WITH THE ELEVATED NATURE OF THE
THUNDERSTORMS...AM NOT EXPECTING ANYTHING IN THE WAY OF SEVERE
WEATHER DUE TO WIND...AND WITH THE AVAILABLE ELEVATED CAPE ON THE
MODEST SIDE (<500J/KG)...AM NOT EXPECTING HAIL PROBLEM. A PROBLEM
DOES LAY WITH THE CONTINUED UPGLIDE FROM SATURDAY NIGHT INTO THE
EXTENDED PORTION OF THE FORECAST.

THE FIRST FOCUS FOR HEAVIER RAIN WILL BE ALONG THE COAST
SATURDAY...AS THE SURFACE BOUNDARY RETREATS NORTH UNDER THE
INFLUENCE OF A SHORTWAVE PRECEDING THE MORE ORGANIZED UPPER SYSTEM.
THE NEXT ROUND LOOKS TO BE OVER THE NORTHERN THIRD OF THE FA AS THE
UPPER SYSTEM APPROACHES. GUIDANCE IS PRETTY CONSISTENT IN PAINTING
THE BEST QPF AMOUNTS FOR LATE SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY.

THE THIRD ROUND LOOKS TO BE LATE SUNDAY THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT AS THE
UPPER SYSTEM AS GUIDANCE IS INDICATING A WARM FRONT WORKING ITS WAY
ONSHORE OVER THE SE-ERN THIRD OF THE FA. HELPING TO LIMIT THE CHANCE
OF ORGANIZED SEVERE WEATHER LATE SUNDAY AND SUNDAY NIGHT WILL BE THE
UPPER DYNAMICS COMING AGAINST AN UPPER RIDGE OVER THE EAST COAST AND
GETTING DEFLECTED NE. THIS PORTION OF THE FORECAST HAS BEEN
INCONSISTENTLY HANDLE WITH RESPECT TO TIMING AND PATH OF A SURFACE
LOW OVER THE WESTERN GULF OF MEX SUNDAY...WHICH THEN MOVES NE ACROSS
SE LA/MS/NW-ERN AL. IF IT FORMS EARLIER...A GREATER CHANCE OF
DAYTIME HEATING WILL BRING MORE INSTABILITY INTO PLACE FOR THE
FORECAST FOR SUNDAY...AND A HIGHER CHANCE OF SEVERE WEATHER

LONG TERM...(MONDAY ON)...MONDAY THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT...AS THE
UPPER SYSTEM HEADS NORTHEAST...GUIDANCE IS ADVERTISING ORGANIZATION
OF THE UPPER DYNAMICS INTO A CLOSED LOW AND THE SURFACE LOW
DEEPENING. FOR THE FA...DRY AIR MOVES IN QUICKLY MONDAY...BUT WITH
THE DEEPENING OF THE SURFACE LOW...WRAP-AROUND STRATUS IS LIKELY FOR
NW-ERN SECTIONS OF THE FA MONDAY AND MONDAY NIGHT...ALONG WITH
COOLER AIR. TEMPS FALLING TO BELOW SEASON FOR TUESDAY AND TUESDAY
NIGHT.

WEDNESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY...AN UPPER RIDGE SHIFTS EAST FROM OVER THE
PLAINS TO NEAR THE EAST COAST...PUSHING A SURFACE RIDGE FROM OVER
THE PLAINS TO THE EAST COAST. ONSHORE FLOW RETURNS FOR THE WEEKEND.
TEMPS MODERATE UPWARD TO ABOVE SEASONAL LEVELS AS WE HEAD INTO NEXT
WEEKEND.

AVIATION...
12Z TERMINAL FORECAST DISCUSSION...IFR TO LIFR CIGS WILL CONTINUE
EARLY THIS MORNING AS A WARM AND MOIST SOUTHERLY LOW LEVEL FLOW
CONTINUES. LOCALIZED MVFR VISIBILITY REDUCTIONS ARE ALSO POSSIBLE.
CIGS SHOULD RETURN TO MVFR LEVELS BY MID TO LATE MORNING WITH
DAYTIME HEATING COMMENCING. SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL INCREASE
IN COVERAGE ALONG AND AHEAD OF AN APPROACHING COLD FRONT TODAY. THE
BEST CHANCE FOR CONVECTION AT THE FORECAST TERMINALS WILL BE DURING
THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING HOURS. WINDS WILL TURN NW/N FOLLOWING
FRONTAL PASSAGE THIS EVENING. A RETURN TO IFR CIGS WILL BE POSSIBLE
BY THE LATE EVENING HOURS. /21

MARINE...A WEAK RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE WILL REMAIN OVER THE
VICINITY OF FLORIDA TODAY WHILE A COLD FRONT APPROACHES FROM THE
MISSISSIPPI VALLEY REGION. A MODERATE ONSHORE FLOW WILL PERSIST OVER
THE MARINE AREA THROUGH EARLY THIS EVENING BEFORE THE FRONT PUSHES
OFFSHORE DURING THE LATE EVENING AND OVERNIGHT HOURS. A BRIEF PERIOD
OF MODERATE TO OCCASIONALLY STRONG OFFSHORE FLOW IS EXPECTED IN THE
WAKE OF THE FRONT TONIGHT INTO EARLY SATURDAY BEFORE WINDS BECOME
EASTERLY SATURDAY AND SATURDAY NIGHT. STRONG ONSHORE FLOW RETURNS
SUNDAY AFTERNOON INTO EARLY MONDAY AS AN AREA OF SURFACE LOW
PRESSURE LIFTS NORTHEASTWARD FROM THE NORTHWESTERN GULF TOWARD THE
MISSISSIPPI AND TENNESSEE VALLEY REGIONS. SEAS BUILDING TO 6 TO 8
FEET LOOK PROBABLE SUNDAY NIGHT INTO EARLY MONDAY GIVEN THE
STRENGTHENING FLOW AND SMALL CRAFT ADVISORIES WILL LIKELY BECOME
NECESSARY. THE NEXT COLD FRONT BRINGS STRENGTHENING OFFSHORE FLOW
MONDAY NIGHT...CONTINUING INTO WEDNESDAY. /21
