AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MOBILE AL
223 PM CST THU MAR 5 2015

.UPDATE...BASED ON THE REPORTS OF SLEET ACROSS CHOCTAW AND WAYNE
COUNTIES WE HAVE CHANGED THE FREEZING RAIN ADVISORY TO A WINTER
WEATHER ADVISORY. A MIXTURE OF LIGHT FREEZING RAIN AND SLEET WILL
AFFECT THESE AREAS THROUGH THE AFTERNOON. SIMILAR IMPACTS EXPECTED
WITH PATCHY ICE POSSIBLE ON BRIDGES AND OVERPASSES WITH MINOR ICE
ACCRUAL ON METAL OBJECTS. TEMPERATURE AT BUTLER AL IS FLUNCTUATING
BETWEEN 29 AND 30 DEGREES. 34/JFB

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 108 PM CST THU MAR 5 2015/

UPDATE...COLD AIR ADVECTION IS WINNING OUT ACROSS THE FAR NW
FORECAST AREA AS TEMPERATURES AT OR BELOW FREEZING ARE BEING REPORTED
IN NORTHERN CHOCTAW COUNTY...INCLUDING THE CITY OF BUTLER.
MEANWHILE...A LARGE AREA OF LIGHT TO OCCASIONALLY MODERATE PRECIP IS
MOVING IN FROM THE WEST IN ASSOCIATION WITH THE 850 MB FRONT. AS IT
DOES SO...LIGHT FREEZING RAIN WILL BE POSSIBLE THROUGH THE REST OF
THE AFTERNOON IN THE FREEZING RAIN ADVISORY AREA. IN ADDITION...THERE
HAVE BEEN REPORTS OF SLEET JUST TO THE WEST OF THE AREA...INCLUDING
MERIDIAN AS THE LOW LEVEL SUB FREEZING LAYER IS A LITTLE DEEPER THAN
MODELED. WE ALSO JUST RECEIVED A SLEET REPORT IN NE WAYNE COUNTY.
THEREFORE...INCLUDED A MENTION OF SLEET IN THE ADVISORY AREA.
OVERALL ICING ISSUES SHOULD REMAIN PATCHY IN NATURE AND CONFINED TO
METAL SURFACES AND POTENTIALLY BRIDGES AND OVERPASSES. THE AREA OF
PRECIPITATION SHOULD BEGIN TO BREAK UP BY LATE THIS AFTERNOON WITH
ANY THREAT OF WINTRY PRECIPITATION COMING TO AN END BY EARLY THIS
EVENING. 34/JFB

AVIATION...
18Z ISSUANCE.
WHILE CIGS HAVE BECOME VFR RECENTLY OVER THE EASTERN HALF OF THE
AREA...MVFR CIGS SHOULD MOVE BACK IN FROM THE WEST BY MID TO LATE
AFTERNOON. VFR CONDITIONS RETURN TO THE AREA BY LATE THIS EVENING.
WINDS WILL REMAIN VERY GUSTY OUT OF THE NORTH THROUGH THE
EVENING...GUSTING TO 25-30 KT. 34/JFB

PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 1027 AM CST THU MAR 5 2015/

UPDATE...THE COLD FRONT IS NOW PUSHING THROUGH OKALOOSA COUNTY AND
WILL BE EAST OF THE FORECAST AREA WITHIN THE NEXT HOUR. STRONG GUSTY
WINDS ALONG WITH A VERY FAST TEMPERATURE DROP (AROUND 25 DEGREES IN
1-2 HOURS) ARE OCCURRING IN THE IMMEDIATE WAKE OF THE FRONT.
TEMPERATURES WILL CONTINUE TO DROP EAST OF I-65 THROUGH THE
AFTERNOON. TEMPERATURES HAVE ALREADY DROPPED INTO THE MID 30S TO
LOWER 40S ALONG AND WEST OF I-65 AND THEY WILL REMAIN NEARLY STEADY
OR POTENTIALLY LOWER A FEW MORE DEGREES THIS AFTERNOON.

THE RAIN IMMEDIATELY ALONG AND AHEAD OF THE FRONT WILL PUSH EAST OF
THE AREA SOON. MEANWHILE...POST FRONTAL LIGHT RAIN CONTINUE TO IMPACT
THE NW PART OF THE CWA. RAIN WILL CONTINUE TO BE LIKELY MAINLY ACROSS
THE FAR NW ZONES THROUGH THE AFTERNOON AS THE 925-850 MB FRONT MOVE
INTO THE REGION. RAIN CHANCES WILL BE LOWER FURTHER TO THE SOUTH AND
EAST. WITH RAIN REMAINING LIKELY THROUGH THIS AFTERNOON ACROSS WAYNE
AND CHOCTAW COUNTIES...THE MAIN QUESTION IS IF TEMPERATURES WILL DROP
LOW ENOUGH TO SUPPORT FREEZING RAIN. AT THIS POINT...TEMPERATURES
HAVE LEVELED OFF IN THE MID 30S...WITH MERIDIAN ACTUALLY RISING 1 OR
2 DEGREES IN THE PAST HOUR. WITH THE 850 MB FRONT MOVING INTO THE
AREA THIS AFTERNOON...THERE IS THE POTENTIAL FOR TEMPS TO LOWER A
LITTLE BIT MORE...BUT THERE IS ALSO THE COUNTERING AFFECT OF THE
HIGHER MARCH SUN ANGLE. THE CONSENSUS OF THE HI-RES GUIDANCE KEEPS
TEMPS ABOVE FREEZING THROUGH THE AFTERNOON...AND THUS LITTLE CHANCE
OF FREEZING RAIN. HOWEVER...PREFER TO MONITOR OBS OVER THE NEXT FEW
HOURS BEFORE MAKING ANY CHANGES TO THE FREEZING RAIN ADVISORY. IT
WAS NOTICED THAT JACKSON MS DROPPED A FEW DEGREES IN THE PAST HOUR AS
HEAVIER PRECIP IN ASSOCIATION WITH THE 850 MB FRONT MOVES THROUGH
WITH SLEET BEING REPORTED. WE WILL WATCH THE TRENDS CLOSELY.

WE ALSO ISSUED A WIND ADVISORY THROUGH THIS EVENING FOR FREQUENT
GUSTS OF 30-35 MPH. THERE WILL BE TWO PERIODS OF STRONG WIND GUSTS.
THE FIRST IS OCCURRING WITH AND IN THE IMMEDIATE WAKE OF THE FRONTAL
PASSAGE. AFTER A BIT OF A LULL...ANOTHER PERIOD OF GUSTIER WINDS
WILL OCCUR BY MID TO LATE AFTERNOON AS THE 925-850 MB FRONT PUSHES
INTO THE AREA AND INCREASES THE DEPTH OF THE COLD AIR ADVECTION.
LATEST HRRR RUNS SHOW 25-30 KT GUSTS LASTING THROUGH THIS EVENING.
34/JFB

PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 535 AM CST THU MAR 5 2015/

SHORT TERM [TODAY AND TONIGHT]...LATEST RADAR LOOPS CONTINUE TO
SHOW LIGHT RAIN MOVING ACROSS THE CENTRAL GULF REGION THIS MORNING
AHEAD AND IN THE WAKE OF A STRONG COLD FRONT MOVING ACROSS THE CWFA
LATER THIS MORNING. LATEST MODEL GUIDANCE PREFERABLY USING A BLEND

LITTLE TO NO ACCUMULATION IS EXPECTED. WILL MENTION LESS THAN .25
INCHES IN A FREEZING RAIN ADVISORY BEGINNING 11 AM CST THIS MORNING
CONTINUING THROUGH 5 PM CST TIME THIS AFTERNOON. LATEST MODEL
SOUNDINGS IN THESE AREAS INDICATE A GOOD WARM NOSE ALOFT SUGGESTING
FREEZING RAIN WILL BE THE MAIN CONCERN FOR NOW. LOW CLOUDS AND LIGHT
PRECIP WILL BEGIN TO CLEAR LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT LEADING
TO MORE SUN THEN CLOUDS BY SUNRISE FRI MORNING. THE HIGHEST TEMPS
WILL OCCUR EARLY TODAY FOR ALL AREAS IN THE CWF FOLLOWED BY FALLING
TEMPS IN THE WAKE OF A STRONG COLD. ONE OTHER CONCERN WILL BE GUSTY
WINDS IN THE WAKE OF THE FRONT POSSIBLY LEADING TO A WIND ADVISORY

LONG TERM [SUNDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY]...AN UPPER SHORTWAVE MOVING
OVER NEW MEXICO AND NORTH MEXICO SUNDAY MORNING WILL CARVE OUT A
MEDIUM AMPLIFIED UPPER TROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT AND MONDAY OVER THE
SOUTHERN PLAINS. AN UPPER CUTOFF LOW IS EXPECTED TO FORM OVER
WESTERN TEXAS BY NOON TUESDAY...AND MOVE SLOWLY EAST ACROSS THE STATE
THROUGH THROUGH MIDWEEK. THIS WILL ALLOW A DEEP SOUTHWEST FLOW TO
DEVELOP OVER THE FORECAST AREA...WITH HIGH CLOUDS INCREASING
THROUGHOUT THE DAY SUNDAY...FOLLOWED BY INCREASING LOW CLOUDS SUNDAY
NIGHT. IT WILL THEN REMAIN CLOUDY THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE LONG
TERM. RAIN CHANCES WILL INCREASE SUNDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING...WITH
