AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MOBILE AL
356 PM CST SAT JAN 4 2014

...BITTERLY COLD TEMPERATURES AND WIND CHILLS FORECAST TO IMPACT THE
GULF COAST EARLY IN THE UPCOMING WEEK...

.SHORT TERM...[TONIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT]...A BROAD CYCLONIC FLOW
PATTERN CONTINUES TO ENCOMPASS MUCH OF THE CENTRAL CONUS TODAY...WITH
SOUTHWEST FLOW ALOFT PREVALENT ACROSS MOST OF THE DEEP SOUTH WELL IN
ADVANCE OF THIS FEATURE. EARLY AFTERNOON SURFACE ANALYSIS SHOWS
SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE CENTERED OVER THE MID-ATLANTIC REGION... WITH
THE ASSOCIATED RIDGE AXIS NOSING SOUTHWESTWARD THROUGH THE VICINITY
OF VIRGINIA/THE CAROLINAS...AND SOUTHWESTWARD TO THE GULF COAST
REGION. SURFACE FLOW HAS SUBSEQUENTLY BECOME EAST TO SOUTHEAST ACROSS
OUR FORECAST AREA THIS AFTERNOON...WHICH WHEN COMBINED WITH SOME
SUNSHINE...HAVE ALLOWED TEMPERATURES TO WARM INTO THE 50S ACROSS OUR
REGION. FARTHER UPSTREAM...THE LEADING EDGE OF THE ARCTIC AIRMASS
THAT IS STILL ON TRACK TO SOON INVADE OUR FORECAST AREA WAS PUSHING
INTO THE CENTRAL PLAINS AND THE UPPER MIDWESTERN STATES.

SHORT RANGE SOLUTIONS ARE IN GOOD AGREEMENT WITH EVOLUTION OF MID
LEVEL AND SURFACE FEATURES THROUGH THE NEXT 24 HOURS. THE BROAD MID
LEVEL TROUGH WILL CONTINUE TO ADVANCE EASTWARD THROUGH SUNDAY
AFTERNOON. SURFACE LOW PRESSURE WILL DEEPEN IN THE VICINITY OF
ARKANSAS EARLY SUNDAY MORNING...BEFORE LIFTING NORTHEASTWARD TOWARD
THE TENNESSEE AND OHIO VALLEY REGIONS SUNDAY AFTERNOON COURTESY OF A
STRENGTHENING MID LEVEL JET THAT WILL SPREAD ACROSS THIS REGION
AROUND THE BASE OF THE TROUGH. THE ARCTIC AIRMASS WILL QUICKLY
SPREAD ACROSS THE MISSISSIPPI VALLEY REGION BEHIND THE ADVANCING
COLD FRONT BY SUNDAY AFTERNOON... WITH THE LEADING EDGE OF THE FRONT
LOOKING TO ENTER OUR INTERIOR SOUTHEAST MISSISSIPPI COUNTIES BY THE
LATE AFTERNOON OR EARLY EVENING HOURS.

IN TERMS OF SENSIBLE WEATHER IMPACTS THROUGH SUNDAY AFTERNOON...
FOR TONIGHT...INCREASING SOUTHERLY LOW LEVEL FLOW WILL BRING
INCREASED LOW LEVEL MOISTURE NORTHWARD THROUGH THE FORECAST AREA
TONIGHT. LOW CLOUDS AND PATCHY FOG MAY DEVELOP ACROSS THE REGION
LATE TONIGHT THROUGH EARLY SUNDAY MORNING...BUT DEEP LAYER MOISTURE
AND LIFT WILL OVERALL REMAIN ABSENT ACROSS THE REGION...SO WILL
MAINTAIN POPS AT LESS THAN 20 PERCENT. LOWS WILL BE WARMER TONIGHT
AS DEWPOINTS INCREASE. WE EXPECT READINGS TO RANGE FROM THE MID TO
UPPER 30S OVER THE INTERIOR TO THE LOWER TO MID 40S NEAR THE
IMMEDIATE COAST. A WARMER DAY IS EXPECTED SUNDAY IN ADVANCE OF THE
APPROACHING COLD BLAST...SO ENJOY THE BRIEF WARM-UP WHILE YOU CAN.
HIGHS SHOULD RANGE IN THE 60S ACROSS MOST LOCATIONS. A FEW PATCHES
OF DRIZZLE OR LIGHT RAIN CANNOT BE RULED OUT SUNDAY MORNING AS WARM
ADVECTION/ISENTROPIC LIFT PERSISTS. HOWEVER...RAIN CHANCES SHOULD
INCREASE BY MID TO LATE AFTERNOON ACROSS WESTERN PORTIONS OF THE
CWFA AS A BAND OF MOISTURE/LIFT ARRIVES ALONG AND AHEAD OF THE
APPROACHING FRONT. WE HAVE POPS INCREASING TO 30-50 PERCENT
GENERALLY WEST OF I-65 DURING THE AFTERNOON. /21

ARCTIC COLD FRONT MAKES PASSAGE ACROSS THE CENTRAL GULF COAST SUNDAY
EVENING. THEN...A DRAMATIC CHANGE IN TEMPERATURES WILL FOLLOW THROUGH
THE NIGHT AS STRONG COLD AIR ADVECTION AND DEEP NORTHWEST WINDS CAUSE
TEMPERATURES TO PLUNGE SOME 25 TO 35 DEGREES BEHIND THE FRONT. BY
DAYBREAK MONDAY MORNING...TEMPERATURES ARE FORECAST TO BE IN THE
LOWER 20S NORTHERN ZONES TO 30 TO 35 RIGHT ALONG THE IMMEDIATE
COAST. MOST OF THE MOISTURE WILL HAVE BEEN SCOURED OUT BY THE
FRONT...BUT COULD BE JUST ENOUGH LINGERING LOW LEVEL MOISTURE FOR
SOME VERY LIGHT SNOW/OR SNOW FLURRIES TO ORIGINATE LATE SUNDAY NIGHT
INTO EARLY MONDAY MORNING ALONG AND NORTH OF HIGHWAY 84 AS DEEP LAYER
THERMAL PROFILES BECOME COMPLETELY FROZEN. THE MOIST LAYER WILL
BECOME INCREASINGLY SHALLOW AS DRIER AIR DEEPENS. CONSIDERING THIS
AND WARM SOIL CONDITIONS...NO SNOW ACCUMULATION IS FORECAST.
NORTHWEST WINDS INCREASING TO 20 TO 25 MPH ALONG WITH HIGHER FREQUENT
GUSTS MAY NECESSITATE A WIND ADVISORY SUNDAY NIGHT. THESE WIND SPEEDS
ALONG WITH FORECAST LOWS...RESULT IN WIND CHILLS DIPPING DOWN INTO
THE TEENS...POSSIBLY SINGLE DIGITS OVER THE NORTHWESTERN ZONES EARLY
MONDAY MORNING. WILL MAINTAIN MENTION OF THIS IN HAZARDOUS WEATHER
OUTLOOKS. A WIND CHILL ADVISORY MAY BECOME REQUIRED ON SUBSEQUENT
SHIFTS. /10

.LONG TERM [MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY]...ARCTIC HIGH EXPANDING
EASTWARD ACROSS THE SOUTHERN STATES ALONG WITH 1000-850 MILLIBAR
THICKNESS VALUES LESS THAN 1275 MILLIBARS SUPPORTS A VERY COLD AND
BRISK DAY FOR MONDAY. DAYTIME HIGHS LOOK TO ONLY RECOVER INTO THE
MID 30S OVER THE NORTHERN HALF OF THE AREA...ROUGHLY 20 DEGREES BELOW
SEASONAL NORMAL ON AVERAGE FOR JANUARY 6TH. TEMPERATURES SINK
CONSIDERABLY MONDAY NIGHT TO AROUND 12 OVER THE NORTHERNMOST
PORTION...TO THE MID TEENS CLOSER TO THE COAST...AND LOWER 20S AT THE
IMMEDIATE COAST. CONSIDERING A HARD FREEZE IS BECOMING INCREASINGLY
LIKELY FOR NEARLY THE ENTIRE AREA MONDAY NIGHT...A HARD FREEZE WATCH
WILL BE ISSUED ON THE 4 PM PACKAGE. TEMPERATURE RECORDS WILL LIKELY
BE BROKEN MONDAY NIGHT AT MOBILE AND PENSACOLA AS WELL. HERE IS A
COMPARISON OF FORECAST AND RECORD VALUES.

MONDAY NIGHT... MOBILE    14    RECORD 18 1970
                PENSACOLA 16    RECORD 19 1924

THE LAST TIME MINIMUM TEMPERATURES LOWERED TO NEAR THESE LEVELS WAS
BACK IN FEBRUARY OF 1996 WHEN 11 WAS OBSERVED IN MOBILE AND 15 IN
PENSACOLA.

ALTHOUGH WINDS DECOUPLE (LOWER) MONDAY NIGHT...LOWS IN THE TEENS
SETS THE STAGE FOR WINDS CHILLS DROPPING TO LESS THAN 10 DEGREES FOR
THE ENTIRE AREA FOR LATER MONDAY NIGHT. HIGHS ON TUESDAY WILL STILL
BE COLD AND IN THE 30S FOR MOST OF THE AREA. ANOTHER HARD FREEZE IS
LIKELY FOR MUCH OF THE AREA TUESDAY NIGHT WITH TEMPERATURES RANGING
FROM THE MID TO UPPER TEENS. LOWER 20S CLOSER TO THE COAST. THE COLD
SURFACE HIGH HAVING SETTLED OVER THE AREA TUESDAY MOVES SLOWLY OFF TO
THE EAST THROUGH THURSDAY...ALLOWING FOR TEMPERATURES TO SLOWLY
RECOVER TO SEASONABLE VALUES BY THURSDAY. WILL ALSO SEE A RETURN OF
MOSTLY SLIGHT CHANCE POPS TO THE AREA ON THURSDAY AS THE SOUTHERLY
FLOW RETURNS MOISTURE TO THE AREA. WARMING TREND CONTINUES FRIDAY AND
SATURDAY WITH DAILY HIGHS LIFTING UP WELL INTO THE 60S TO NEAR 70 AND
A CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND A FEW STORMS.

OF NOTE...WITH COOLER SEA SURFACE TEMPERATURES RESULTING FROM THE
COLD AIR OUTBREAK EARLY IN THE PERIOD...RETURN OF MOIST SOUTHEAST TO
SOUTHERLY FLOW LATE IN THE OUTLOOK MAY SET THE STAGE FOR THE
DEVELOPMENT OF OVERNIGHT...DENSE ADVECTIVE TYPE FOG. 29/10

&&

.AVIATION [18Z TERMINAL FORECAST DISCUSSION]...VISIBLE SATELLITE
SHOWS VFR PREVAILING ACROSS THE TERMINALS THIS AFTERNOON...WITH LOW
CLOUDS HANGING WELL OFFSHORE. INCREASING LOW LEVEL SOUTHERLY FLOW
MAY BRING A RETURN TO MVFR CIGS LATER TONIGHT...THOUGH TIMING IS
UNCERTAIN. FOR NOW HAVE HELD OFF ON THE ARRIVAL OF MVFR CIGS UNTIL
AROUND 09Z...BUT WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR TRENDS. PATCHY MVFR FOG
WILL ALSO BE POSSIBLE LATE TONIGHT. /21

&&

.MARINE...A LIGHT TO MODERATE EAST TO SOUTHEAST FLOW WILL PREVAIL
OVER THE MARINE AREA THROUGH SUNDAY MORNING AS A RIDGE OF HIGH
PRESSURE EXTENDS FROM THE EAST COAST TO THE NORTHERN GULF OF MEXICO.
THE FLOW SHOULD BECOME SOUTH TO SOUTHWEST BY SUNDAY AFTERNOON IN
ADVANCE OF AN APPROACHING STRONG ARCTIC COLD FRONT. THE FRONT IS
STILL ON TRACK TO ENTER THE NORTHERN GULF WATERS BY EARLY SUNDAY
EVENING...BEFORE QUICKLY PUSHING SOUTHWARD THROUGH OUR MARINE AREA
SUNDAY NIGHT. STRONG OFFSHORE FLOW WILL SPREAD ACROSS THE MARINE
AREA IN THE WAKE OF THE FRONT. NORTHERLY WINDS INCREASING TO AROUND
30 KNOTS WITH GUSTS TO GALE FORCE...OR 35 TO 40 KNOTS...LOOKS QUITE
PROBABLE OVER THE OFFSHORE GULF WATERS...AS WELL AS THE MISSISSIPPI
SOUND AND SOUTHERN MOBILE BAY...SO WE WILL ISSUE A GALE WATCH FOR
SUNDAY NIGHT AND MONDAY FOR THESE MARINE LOCATIONS. SEAS WILL LIKELY
BUILD UP TO 12 FEET WELL OFFSHORE. CONFIDENCE WAS LOWER ON REACHING
GALE FORCE GUSTS ACROSS THE OTHER BAYS AND SOUNDS...BUT WILL GO AHEAD
AND ISSUE A SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY GIVEN CONFIDENCE OF ADVISORY CONDITIONS. A
LIGHT TO MODERATE EASTERLY FLOW LOOKS TO TAKE SHAPE BY MIDWEEK AS THE
SURFACE RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE ADVANCES TOWARD THE EAST COAST. /21
