AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MOBILE AL
708 AM CST THU DEC 24 2015
.DISCUSSION...UPDATED FOR LATEST AVIATION DISCUSSION BELOW.
&&
.AVIATION...
12Z ISSUANCE...IFR TO LOW END MVFR CIGS ARE EXPECTED TO PREVAIL
ACROSS THE REGION TODAY ALONG WITH THE DEVELOPMENT OF SCATTERED TO
NUMEROUS SHRA/TSRA. VISIBILITY MAY BECOME LOCALLY REDUCED TO MVFR TO
IFR LEVELS NEAR HEAVIER CONVECTION. AREAS OF IFR OR LOWER FOG MAY
DEVELOP TONIGHT...ESPECIALLY CLOSER TO THE COAST.
&&
.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 506 AM CST THU DEC 24 2015/
NEAR TERM /NOW THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT/...A PERSISTENT MOIST SOUTHWEST
FLOW ALOFT CONTINUES ACROSS THE CENTRAL GULF COAST REGION EARLY THIS
MORNING BETWEEN A BROAD MID LEVEL TROUGH OVER THE CENTRAL CONUS AND A
RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE SITUATED OVER THE WESTERN ATLANTIC OCEAN. WEAK
IMPULSES EMBEDDED WITHIN THE SOUTHWEST FLOW HAS RESULTED IN THE
CONTINUED DEVELOPMENT OF SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS
THE REGION...MOST NOTABLY ALONG AND EAST OF I-65. WILL CONTINUE TO
MONITOR THIS CONVECTION CLOSELY FOR LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL AS THIS
ACTIVITY WILL BE MOVING OVER SATURATED GROUNDS...BUT SO FAR RAINFALL
RATES HAVE BEEN MINIMAL ENOUGH TO KEEP FLASH FLOODING CONCERNS LOW.
OTHERWISE...UNSEASONABLY WARM AND HUMID CONDITIONS CONTINUE ACROSS
OUR FORECAST AREA EARLY THIS CHRISTMAS EVE MORNING...WITH 4 AM
TEMPERATURE READINGS IN THE LOWER TO MID 70S ACROSS MOST LOCATIONS.
IN FACT...THE 4 AM TEMPERATURE AT MOBILE AND PENSACOLA ARE ONLY ABOUT
4 DEGREES AWAY FROM TODAY'S RECORD HIGHS OF 78 DEGREES AT BOTH
LOCATIONS.
THE MOIST SOUTHWEST FLOW PATTERN ALOFT WILL PERSIST ACROSS OUR
REGION THROUGH THIS AFTERNOON...AND EMBEDDED IMPULSES LIFTING
NORTHEASTWARD WITHIN THE FLOW WILL CONTINUE TO RESULT IN THE
DEVELOPMENT OF SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS OVER
THE AREA TODAY. ANOMALOUSLY HIGH PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES BETWEEN
1.7 AND 1.9 INCHES WILL SUPPORT A CONTINUED POTENTIAL OF LOCALLY
HEAVY RAIN AND LOCALIZED FLOODING...ESPECIALLY IF STRONGER STORMS
TRAIN OVER LOCATIONS THAT HAVE RECEIVED BETWEEN 4-6 INCHES OR MORE
OF RAIN THE PAST COUPLE OF DAYS. WHILE THE OVERALL CONFIDENCE IN
LARGE SCALE FLOODING CONCERNS REMAIN LOW ENOUGH TO PRECLUDE A FLASH
FLOOD WATCH...WE WILL CONTINUE TO HIGHLIGHT AN ELEVATED RISK OF
LOCALIZED FLOODING IN THE GRAPHICS AND HWO. THE WARM AND HUMID
CONDITIONS WILL RESULT IN MODERATE INSTABILITY TODAY WITH MLCAPE
VALUES BETWEEN 1000-2000 J/KG ACROSS THE REGION. HOWEVER...DEEP
LAYER SHEAR WILL BE A LITTLE WEAKER TODAY WITH LESS DYNAMICS IN
PLAY...SO THE OVERALL RISK OF SEVERE WEATHER WILL BE LIMITED.
ISOLATED STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE TODAY WITH THE
PRIMARY HAZARDS BEING DAMAGING WINDS AND POSSIBLY HAIL. NEAR RECORD
HIGHS IN THE MID TO UPPER 70S ARE EXPECTED ACROSS THE REGION.
THE UPPER LEVEL RIDGE BEGINS TO BUILD WESTWARD TOWARD THE
SOUTHEASTERN STATES AND EASTERN GULF TONIGHT...AND THE DEEP LAYER
MOISTURE AXIS WILL SUBSEQUENTLY SHIFT NORTHWESTWARD WITH TIME. POPS
WILL BE LOWER TONIGHT...BUT WILL STILL CARRY A CHANCE THROUGH THE
EVENING...THEN DECREASING SOMEWHAT AFTER MIDNIGHT. EXPECT PATCHY FOG
TO DEVELOP LATE...PERHAPS A BIT MORE ROBUST IN COVERAGE CLOSER TO
THE COAST...AND WILL NEED TO MONITOR FOR POTENTIAL DENSE FOG
FORMATION. LOWS FOR CHRISTMAS MORNING WILL ONCE AGAIN RANGE ABOUT 25
TO 30 DEGREES ABOVE NORMAL...WITH READINGS IN THE UPPER 60S TO
AROUND 70. /21
SHORT TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT/...AN AMPLIFYING LONG WAVE
TROF OVER THE WESTERN STATES EVOLVES INTO A CUT OFF LOW ON SATURDAY
CENTERED NEAR THE ARIZONA/MEXICO BORDER WHICH CONTINUES INTO NORTH
CENTRAL MEXICO SATURDAY NIGHT. THIS IS A RATHER UNUSUAL FEATURE EVEN
FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR...WITH THE 500 MB HEIGHT IN THE UPPER LOW ABOUT
4 STANDARD DEVIATIONS BELOW CLIMATOLOGICAL NORMAL. AHEAD OF THIS
SYSTEM...A SERIES OF SOUTHERN STREAM SHORTWAVES MOVE ACROSS THE
SOUTHERN PLAINS AND EAST CENTRAL STATES ON FRIDAY. THIS IN TURN LEADS
TO A SERIES OF SUBTLE SURFACE WAVES MOVING ALONG A REJUVENATED
STALLED FRONTAL BOUNDARY WHICH EXTENDS FROM THE ARKLATEX TO NEAR THE
OHIO RIVER VALLEY. A SURFACE LOW DEVELOPS TO THE LEE OF THE ROCKIES
OVER THE CENTRAL PLAINS MEANWHILE ON FRIDAY IN RESPONSE TO THE
DEVELOPING UPPER LOW...THEN SHIFTS SOUTHWARD INTO WESTERN TEXAS
THROUGH SATURDAY...WITH THE AFOREMENTIONED FRONTAL BOUNDARY SHIFTING
NORTHWARD SOMEWHAT. A SURFACE RIDGE REMAINS GENERALLY ORIENTED ALONG
THE NORTHERN GULF COAST THROUGH THE PERIOD WHICH MAINTAINS A MOIST
AND WARM SOUTHERLY FLOW OVER THE FORECAST AREA.
HAVE GONE WITH SLIGHT CHANCE POPS GENERALLY EAST OF I-65 ON BOTH
FRIDAY AND SATURDAY...EXCEPT FOR CHANCE POPS WEST OF I-65 CLOSER TO
THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY AND SOMEWHAT BETTER ISENTROPIC LIFT. SLIGHT
CHANCE POPS FOLLOW FOR EACH NIGHT. OF NOTE IS THAT 850 MB
TEMPERATURES NEAR 16C ON CHRISTMAS ARE RUNNING ABOUT 2 STANDARD
DEVIATIONS ABOVE NORMAL THEN MODESTLY DROP TO 15-16C FOR
SATURDAY...BUT STILL ABOUT 1.5 STANDARD DEVIATIONS ABOVE NORMAL.
CONSIDERING THIS AND THE WARM SOUTHERLY FLOW PATTERN...EXPECT RECORD
HIGH TEMPERATURES ON CHRISTMAS AT MOBILE AND PENSACOLA THEN NEAR
RECORD HIGHS ON SATURDAY. HERE IS A TABLE OF CURRENT RECORDS AND OUR
FORECAST HIGHS FOR BOTH DAYS...
