AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MOBILE AL
713 PM CDT FRI JUN 6 2014

.SHORT TERM...SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 247 HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR SOUTH
CENTRAL ALABAMA UNTIL 100 AM CDT SATURDAY AS LARGE CLUSTER OF STORMS
ACROSS CENTRAL ALABAMA CONTINUE TO PROPAGATE TOWARD THE SOUTHEAST.
SURFACE TEMPERATURES ACROSS THE WATCH AREA CURRENTLY RANGE FROM 87 TO
92 DEGREES...WITH SURFACE DEWPOINTS IN THE LOWER 70S. MLCAPE VALUES
ARE NEAR 2400 J/KG. THE STRONGEST STORMS WILL BE CAPABLE OF
PRODUCING DAMAGING THUNDERSTORM WINDS UP TO 60 MPH AND ONE INCH HAIL.
LOW LEVEL INSTABILITY DOES DECREASE AFTER SUNSET WITH THE STORMS
GRADUALLY DISSIPATING THROUGH THE EVENING HOURS...SO WE MAY CANCEL
THE WATCH BEFORE 100 AM. UPDATED ZONES AND GRIDS SENT. /22

.AVIATION [07.00Z KMOB/KBFM/KPNS TAF ISSUANCE]...ISOLATED SHOWERS
AND POSSIBLE A THUNDERSTORM ARE EXPECTED TO DEVELOP ALONG A BOUNDARY
PUSHING INTO THE AREA THIS EVENING IN THE VICINITY OF THE KMOB AND
KBFM TAF SITES. LOCALIZED GUSTY AND ERRATIC WIND GUSTS AND OCCASIONAL
LIGHTNING CAN BE EXPECTED WITH THE STRONGER STORMS THAT DEVELOP.
OTHERWISE...WILL MONITOR FOR POTENTIAL MVFR FOG IMPACTS LATE TONIGHT
AND EARLY SATURDAY MORNING...WITH A PROB30 GROUP ADDED WITH SHOWERS
AND THUNDERSTORMS EXPECTED TO DEVELOP AFTER SUNRISE SATURDAY. /22

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 343 PM CDT FRI JUN 6 2014/

SHORT TERM [TONIGHT AND SATURDAY]...A LARGE MID LEVEL RIDGE OF HIGH
PRESSURE CONTINUES TO EXTEND FROM NORTHERN MEXICO AND CENTRAL AND
SOUTHERN PORTIONS OF TEXAS EASTWARD TO THE CENTRAL GULF COAST REGION
THIS AFTERNOON. AN ACTIVE WEST TO NORTHWEST FLOW PATTERN ALOFT
PREVAILS AROUND THE NORTHERN PERIPHERY OF THIS RIDGE. EMBEDDED
SHORTWAVE TROUGHS PROPAGATING WITHIN THE W/NW FLOW HAVE AIDED IN
CONTINUED DEVELOPMENT OF A CONVECTIVE COMPLEX ACROSS ARKANSAS
THIS AFTERNOON...WITH NEW CONVECTION NOW ORGANIZING ACROSS NORTHERN
MISSISSIPPI AND ALABAMA ALONG A FRONTAL BOUNDARY. TEMPERATURES
AROUND 90 DEGREES AND DEWPOINTS MOSTLY IN THE LOWER 70S ARE
CONTRIBUTING TO A VERY UNSTABLE AIRMASS ACROSS OUR FORECAST AREA
THIS AFTERNOON...WITH MLCAPE VALUES RANGING BETWEEN 2500-3500 J/KG.

THE LATEST RAP13 MODEL CONTINUES TO BRING AN OUTFLOW BOUNDARY
SOUTHWARD INTO INTERIOR PORTIONS OF SOUTHEAST MISSISSIPPI AND
SOUTHWEST AND SOUTH CENTRAL ALABAMA...ROUGHLY NEAR THE U.S. HIGHWAY
84 CORRIDOR LATE THIS AFTERNOON INTO THIS EVENING. HIGH RESOLUTION
AND GLOBAL MODELS CONTINUE TO SHOW INITIATION OF SCATTERED
CONVECTION NEAR THIS FEATURE THIS AFTERNOON AS A SHORTWAVE IMPULSE
ALSO PUSHES SOUTHEASTWARD THROUGH MISSISSIPPI AND ALABAMA. HIGH
RESOLUTION MODELS CONTINUE TO INDICATE THAT CONVECTION COULD
POTENTIALLY ORGANIZE INTO A COMPLEX OVER THE VICINITY OF INTERIOR
SOUTHWEST/SOUTH CENTRAL ALABAMA AND THE INTERIOR NORTHWEST FLORIDA
PANHANDLE DURING THE EARLY TO MID EVENING HOURS. WE WILL CONTINUE TO
TREND THE HIGHEST POPS GENERALLY ALONG AND NORTHEAST OF A
BUTLER...GROVE HILL...CRESTVIEW LINE THIS EVENING...WITH LOWER/
ISOLATED COVERAGE TRENDED FARTHER SOUTH AND WEST OVER THE REMAINDER
OF SOUTHEAST MISSISSIPPI AND COASTAL SOUTHWEST ALABAMA AND NORTHWEST
FLORIDA PANHANDLE. GIVEN THE UNCERTAINTY...WE KEPT THE HIGHEST POPS
CAPPED IN THE 30-40 PERCENT RANGE. GIVEN THE AMOUNT OF INSTABILITY
AND RESPECTABLE DEEP LAYER SHEAR...SOME STORMS COULD BECOME SEVERE
LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING...MAINLY ALONG AND TO THE NORTH OF A
WAYNESBORO...BREWTON...ANDALUSIA LINE. THE PRIMARY SEVERE HAZARD
WILL BE DAMAGING WINDS...WHILE FREQUENT LIGHTNING AND VERY HEAVY
RAIN WILL ALSO ACCOMPANY THE STRONGEST STORMS. SEVERE HAIL POTENTIAL
SEEMS FAIRLY LIMITED GIVEN THE RELATIVELY HIGH WET BULB FREEZING
HEIGHTS. CONVECTION SHOULD MAINLY MOVE EAST OF OUR AREA OR DIMINISH
AFTER MIDNIGHT...BUT LEFT A TOKEN SLIGHT CHANCE OF STORMS IN THE
FORECAST OVER OUR EASTERN ZONES GIVEN THE UNCERTAINTY AS THOSE
LOCATIONS WILL REMAIN UNDER A MOIST NORTHWEST FLOW PATTERN ALOFT.

MUCH OF OUR FORECAST AREA WILL REMAIN UNDERNEATH WEST/NORTHWEST FLOW
ALOFT AGAIN SATURDAY ON THE NORTHEASTERN PERIPHERY OF THE MID LEVEL
RIDGE THAT WILL CONTINUE TO STRETCH FROM SOUTHERN TEXAS TO THE NORTH
CENTRAL GULF OF MEXICO. ANOTHER HOT AND HUMID DAY IS EXPECTED WITH
TEMPERATURES RANGING FROM THE UPPER 80S NEAR THE COAST TO THE LOWER
90S INLAND WITH DEWPOINTS REMAINING IN THE LOWER 70S. MLCAPE VALUES
WILL ONCE AGAIN LIKELY RANGE FROM 2500-3500 J/KG ACROSS MUCH OF THE
REGION. EMBEDDED IMPULSES IN THE NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT AND PRESENCE
OF THE AFTERNOON SEABREEZE WILL AID IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF SCATTERED
SHOWERS AND STORMS ACROSS MUCH OF THE REGION AGAIN SATURDAY. THE
AMOUNT OF MOISTURE AND INSTABILITY WILL AGAIN CONTRIBUTE TO
POTENTIAL FOR STRONG TO LOCALLY SEVERE STORMS...WITH STRONG TO
LOCALLY DAMAGING WINDS THE MAIN HAZARD. FREQUENT LIGHTNING AND
TORRENTIAL DOWNPOURS WILL ALSO ACCOMPANY THE STRONGER STORMS THAT
DEVELOP. /21

THE WET MICROBURST RISK REMAINS MODERATE THROUGH SATURDAY AFTERNOON.

[SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT]...AN UPPER LEVEL RIDGE ALIGNED
WITH THE GULF COAST...FROM SOUTHEAST TEXAS TO THE FLORIDA
PANHANDLE...WILL CONTINUE TO DOMINATE THE WEATHER IN OUR REGION. A
FEW RUMBLES COULD LINGER JUST PAST SUNSET SATURDAY EVENING BUT MORE
INTO THE INLAND AREAS. STAYED CLOSE TO GUIDANCE FOR TEMPS...THAT
IS...CLOSE TO CLIMATOLOGICAL AVERAGES.

THE EASTERN EDGE OF THIS RIDGE WILL TEND TO KEEP THINGS RELATIVELY
QUIET LATER SATURDAY EVENING AND OVERNIGHT. PRECIPITABLE WATER
EXPECTED TO BE BETWEEN 1.5 AND 1.8 INCHES FROM EARLY SATURDAY EVENING
THROUGH SUNDAY EVENING BUT THE SUNDAY AFTERNOON CAPES AND LI'S ARE
ANOTHER STORY. MLCAPES LIKELY TO QUICKLY DECREASE BEFORE SUNSET
SATURDAY EVENING FROM AROUND 2000 TO WELL BELOW 1000 BY MID EVENING
AND OVERNIGHT. HOWEVER...FORECAST SOUNDINGS FOR SUNDAY INDICATE
SUNDAY AFTERNOON CAPES WILL REBOUND TO 3000 TO NEAR 4000 SUNDAY
AFTERNOON...WITH LI OF -8 AND PRECIPITABLE WATER 1.8 TO 1.9. THE
FORECAST SOUNDINGS ARE INDICATED TO HAVE NO CAP NEAR THE GROUND.
ACTUALLY THEY ARE CALCULATED TO BE DRY ADIABATIC AT 1800Z FROM THE
GROUND TO NEAR THE LCL AROUND 850 MB. THEREFORE WE EXPECT
THUNDERSTORMS TO DEVELOP BY CLOSE TO MIDDAY SUNDAY AND SUNDAY
AFTERNOON ESPECIALLY OVER NORTHERN AND EASTERN PORTIONS OF THE
FORECAST AREA WHERE WE ARE ENCOUNTERING THESE SIGNALS FROM PHYSICAL
MODEL OUTPUTS. WE INTERPRET THE FORECAST SOUNDINGS WITH THEIR
CONTINUED STEEP LOW AND MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES WITH DRY AIR ALOFT AS A
RISK OF THUNDERSTORMS...POSSIBLY SEVERE IN A FEW CASES...CAPABLE OF
PRODUCING WIND GUSTS OVER 40 TO 50 MPH OR MORE. 77/BD

LONG TERM [SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY]...NO CHANGES. THE MID
LEVEL RIDGE AXIS GRADUALLY SHIFTS TO THE EAST ON SUNDAY...WITH THE
HIGHEST DEEP LAYER MOISTURE CONFINED OVER THE NORTHERN AND EASTERN
ZONES. THIS IS WHERE THE HIGHEST CHANCE FOR AFTERNOON THUNDERSTORMS
WILL OCCUR. CHANCES DECREASING FURTHER WEST AND SOUTH TOWARD THE
COAST.

WE EXPECT AN UPPER LEVEL TROUGH TO AMPLIFY OVER THE SOUTHERN PLAINS
INTO THE LOWER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY MONDAY INTO TUESDAY...RESULTING IN
SOME DOWNSTREAM AMPLIFICATION OF THE UPPER RIDGE OVER OUR AREA.
THUNDERSTORM CHANCES ARE EXPECTED TO DECREASE AS PRECIPITABLE WATER
DECREASES TO 1.2 TO 1.3 INCHES. FORECAST SOUNDINGS SHOWING THE
POTENTIAL FOR SUBSTANTIAL MIXING OF DRY AIR TO THE SURFACE WHICH
WILL IN TURN LIMIT AFTERNOON INSTABILITY. THUNDERSTORM CHANCES
INCREASE AGAIN WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY AS THE AFOREMENTIONED TROUGH
MOVES EAST AND PRECIPITABLE WATERS RISE BACK TO 1.5-1.7 INCHES.

TEMPERATURES CONSISTENT WITH CLIMATOLOGY FOR JUNE ARE EXPECTED
THROUGH THE FORECAST PERIOD. WE STAYED CLOSE TO GUIDANCE. 77/BD

MARINE...ISOLATED TO SCATTERED STORMS DEVELOPING OVER INLAND AREAS
COULD MOVE SOUTHEASTWARD AND APPROACH THE BAYS/NEARSHORE WATERS THE
NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS. A FEW OF THE STRONGER STORMS WILL BE CAPABLE OF
PRODUCING STRONG WIND GUSTS AND FREQUENT LIGHTNING. MARINERS OVER
BAYS AND NEARSHORE WATERS SHOULD MONITOR WEATHER CONDITIONS CLOSELY.

OTHERWISE...A SURFACE RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE WILL REMAIN IN PLACE
ACROSS MUCH OF THE NORTH CENTRAL AND NORTHEASTERN GULF OF MEXICO
THROUGH THE WEEKEND. A LIGHT TO OCCASIONALLY MODERATE SOUTHERLY TO
SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW PATTERN WILL PREVAIL ACROSS MUCH OF THE MARINE
AREA THROUGH SUNDAY. WINDS WILL BE LOCALLY HIGHER NEAR BAYS AND
NEARSHORE WATERS DURING THE AFTERNOON/EARLY EVENING HOURS EACH DAY.
THE SURFACE RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE SHOULD EXTEND FROM THE EASTERN
GULF THROUGH THE WESTERN ATLANTIC DURING THE EARLY TO MIDDLE PART OF
NEXT WEEK...AS A FRONTAL BOUNDARY APPROACHES THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER
VALLEY LATE TUESDAY INTO WEDNESDAY. A LIGHT TO MODERATE SOUTHERLY TO
SOUTHWEST FLOW PATTERN SHOULD PERSIST INTO WEDNESDAY. /21
