Severe Thunderstorm Warning 93, NWS Mobile, AL

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MOBILE AL
342 PM CDT SAT JUN 7 2014

.SHORT TERM (TONIGHT AND SUNDAY)...CURRENT ACTIVITY OVER THE
AREA IS LIMITED TO MAINLY EASTERN SECTIONS OF THE FA...WITH A LIGHT
WESTERLY DRIVING FLOW OVER-RULING A WESTWARD BUILDING BY OUTFLOWS
ATTM. A FEW SHRA ARE FORMING ALONG THE GULF BREEZE MOVING INLAND
OVER MOBILE CO. THESE WILL DIE OUT AS SUNSET APPROACHES.
SUNDAY...WITH GUIDANCE INDICATING PRECIP H20 VALUES APPROACHING
2"...A LIGHT WEST TO SOUTHWEST WIND AND SHORTWAVE ENERGY PASSING
JUST NORTH OF THE FA...MORE TSRA EXPECTED...WITH BEST CONVERGENCE OF
INGREDIENTS BEING OVER THE NORTHEASTERN THIRD OF THE FA...HAVE PUT
BEST CHANCE FOR POPS THERE. /16

FOR SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT...AN UPPER TROF ADVANCING
INTO THE PLAINS STATES EVOLVES INTO AN UPPER LOW WITH AN ASSOCIATED
SURFACE LOW OVER KANSAS ON MONDAY WHICH THEN ADVANCES SLOWLY
EASTWARD INTO MISSOURI ON TUESDAY.  A TRAILING FRONTAL BOUNDARY
WEAKENS TO A SURFACE TROF WHILE SHIFTING SOUTHWARD TO NEAR THE
INTERIOR PORTION OF THE FORECAST AREA SUNDAY NIGHT.  THE WEAK TROF
LOOKS TO DISSIPATE ON MONDAY AS THE SURFACE LOW DEVELOPS OVER
KANSAS.  A SURFACE RIDGE MEANWHILE REMAINS OVER THE NORTHERN GULF
AND MAINTAINS A LIGHT TO OCCASIONALLY MODERATE SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW
OVER MUCH OF THE FORECAST AREA.  PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES OF
1.5-1.75 INCHES OVER THE REGION DECREASE TO 1.25-1.5 INCHES THROUGH
MONDAY NIGHT AS SOMEWHAT DRIER DEEP LAYER AIR OVER THE GULF IS DRAWN
INTO THE AREA.  THE WESTERN PORTION OF THE AREA SEES AN INCREASE IN
DEEP LAYER MOISTURE TUESDAY INTO TUESDAY NIGHT AS A SOMEWHAT
STRONGER SOUTHWEST FLOW BRINGS BETTER MOISTURE INTO THE AREA.

WHILE A DIURNAL CYCLE OF CONVECTION DEVELOPING DURING THE DAY AND
LINGERING INTO THE EVENING HOURS IS EXPECTED...AM CONCERNED BY AN
UPSTREAM DIFFLUENT 850-300 MB THICKNESS PATTERN ROUGHLY NEAR THE
ARKLATEX WHICH IS NEAR AN 850 MB THETA-E RIDGE ORIENTED EAST-WEST
ACROSS THE GULF COAST STATES THROUGH THE PERIOD.  SHOULD UPSTREAM
CONVECTION ORGANIZE INTO A MESOSCALE CONVECTIVE SYSTEM...MCS...THIS
PATTERN LOOKS TO FAVOR A PROGRESSIVE MCS ADVANCING EASTWARD INTO THE
AREA.  AS THERE IS WELL DEFINED 850-300MB Q VECTOR CONVERGENCE
UPSTREAM...WILL NEED TO CLOSELY MONITOR FOR POTENTIAL MCS
DEVELOPMENT.  NOT CLEAR AT THIS POINT HOW MUCH OF AN IMPACT THE
SOMEWHAT DRIER DEEP LAYER AIR WILL HAVE ON THIS POTENTIAL AS IT IS
DRAWN INTO THE REGION THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT BEFORE DEEP LAYER
MOISTURE BEGINS TO RECOVER.  FOR NOW WILL HAVE ISOLATED POPS SUNDAY
EVENING FOR LINGERING CONVECTION WITH ISOLATED POPS FOR MUCH OF THE
AREA MONDAY AFTERNOON EXCEPT FOR CHANCE POPS OVER INTERIOR SOUTH
CENTRAL ALABAMA CLOSEST TO THE REMNANTS OF THE SURFACE TROF.  SLIGHT
CHANCE POPS FOLLOW FOR TUESDAY.

SURFACE BASED CAPES RANGE FROM AROUND 2500 J/KG OVER INTERIOR AREAS
TO 1500 NEAR THE COAST BOTH MONDAY AND TUESDAY AFTERNOON.  WHILE
SHEAR VALUES WILL BE LOW...WET BULB ZERO VALUES WILL BE NEAR 11 KFT
IMPLYING SUFFICIENT POTENTIAL FOR SOME STRONG STORMS WITH WIND GUSTS
OF 40-50 MPH AND SMALL HAIL.  TEMPERATURES WILL BE NEAR SEASONABLE
LEVELS EXCEPT FOR A FEW DEGREES ABOVE OVER INLAND AREAS DURING THE
AFTERNOON. /29

.LONG TERM (WEDNESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY)...THE UPPER LOW OPENS UP ON
WEDNESDAY AND EJECTS OFF TO THE NORTHEAST THROUGH THURSDAY MEANWHILE
BRINGING AN UPPER TROF AXIS INTO THE SOUTHEAST STATES AND ACROSS THE
FORECAST AREA.  THE ASSOCIATED SURFACE LOW LIKEWISE WEAKENS WHILE A
SURFACE RIDGE PERSISTS OVER THE NORTHERN GULF.  ANOTHER SURFACE LOW
MEANWHILE ADVANCES ACROSS THE PLAINS AND MOVES OFF ACROSS THE
NORTHEAST STATES ON FRIDAY...BRINGING A WEAK SURFACE TROF INTO THE
GULF COAST STATES FRIDAY NIGHT INTO SATURDAY.  THE UPPER TROF
CONTINUES TO LINGER OVER THE EXTREME SOUTHEAST STATES AND GRADUALLY
WEAKENS THROUGH SATURDAY.  PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES AROUND 1.5
INCHES DECREASE TO 1.25-1.4 INCHES WEDNESDAY NIGHT AS THE AXIS OF
THE UPPER TROF MOVES ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA...THEN DEEP LAYER
MOISTURE SLOWLY REBOUNDS THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE PERIOD AS THE
WEAKENING UPPER TROF REMAINS EAST OF THE AREA.  HAVE CONTINUED WITH
CHANCE POPS FOR CONVECTION DEVELOPING DURING THE DAY DUE TO THE SEA
BREEZE THEN WITH ISOLATED NIGHTTIME POPS FOR LINGERING CONVECTION.
TEMPERATURES WILL BE NEAR SEASONABLE VALUES EXCEPT FOR UP TO A FEW
DEGREES ABOVE NORMAL OVER INTERIOR AREAS DURING THE DAY. /29

&&

18Z ISSUANCE...ISOLATED SHRA/TSRA WILL CONTINUE TO DEVELOP AND MOVE
EAST THROUGH THE AFTERNOON HOURS. WITH A GULF BREEZE MOVING INLAND
FROM THE COAST AND OUTFLOW BOUNDARIES ACCUMULATING FROM THE ONGOING
ACTIVITY...A VERITABLE WHACK-A-MOLE SCENARIO IS IN STORE FOR
AVIATION THIS AFTERNOON INTO THE EVENING HOURS. GENERAL VFR/MVFR
CIGS/VISBYS EXPECTED WITH TEMPS DIPS TO LOW MVFR/IFR LEVELS IN THE
STRONGEST SHOWERS. THESE SHOULD BEGIN TO SETTLE AS SUNSET
APPROACHES. ISOLATED LIGHT FOG POSSIBLE TONIGHT WHERE THE RAIN
OCCURS TODAY...BUT AM EXPECTING THIS TO BE VERY ISOLATED OVERNIGHT.
SUNDAY...AM EXPECTING ANOTHER ROUND OF THE SAME. /16

&&

.MARINE...A SURFACE RIDGE STRETCHING WEST OVER THE NORTHERN GULF
WILL KEEP A LIGHT TO AT TIMES MODERATE SW-ERLY FLOW OVER THE AREA
THROUGH THE PERIOD. /16
