AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATE TO AVIATION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MOBILE AL
1245 PM CDT WED JUL 22 2015

...HEAT ADVISORY IN EFFECT THROUGH 7PM ACROSS THE ENTIRE AREA...

.AVIATION...
18Z ISSUANCE...GENERAL VFR EXPECTED THROUGH THE FORECAST. FOR
TODAY...EXCEPTIONS TO THIS WILL BE IN LOCALLY HEAVY RAIN FROM
TSRA DEVELOPING THIS AFTERNOON. EXPECT CURRENT DEVELOPMENT JUST
SOUTH OF I20 CORRIDOR TO STRENGTHEN...THEN SPREAD SOUTH THROUGH
THE AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING. WITH AN APPROACHING UPPER SYSTEM
AND CONTINUED HIGH MOISTURE VALUES...ANOTHER ROUND IS EXPECTED
THURSDAY...WITH GREATEST CONCENTRATION OF STORMS BEING OVER
CENTRAL ALABAMA.

/16

&&

.UPDATE...CURRENT PACKAGE GENERALLY ON TRACK. TWEAKED THE
DEWPOINTS...WITH PREVIOUS PACKAGE TOO LOW. OVERALL...PACKAGE ON
TRACK.

/16

&&

.PREVIOUS [FROM 525 AM]...

.SHORT TERM [TODAY AND TONIGHT]...BROAD UPPER RIDGE STRETCHING
FROM TX TO THE CENTRAL GULF COAST HAS SHIFTED SOUTHWARD ALLOWING
EMBEDDED MID LEVEL ENERGY TO CONTINUE TRACKING EASTWARD THOUGH
FURTHER SOUTH THAN PREVIOUS DAYS. THIS PATTERN LEADS TO A CONTINUED
FLOW GENERALLY FROM THE WEST WITH BETTER LIFT OR FORCING FOR THE
LOWER PARTS OF MS AND AL THROUGH TONIGHT...RESULTING IN SLIGHTLY
BETTER COVERAGE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS OVER MOST OF THE CWA
TODAY ESPECIALLY OVER CENTRAL AND NORTHERN SECTIONS THIS AFTERNOON
...CONTINUING INTO THE EVENING HOURS. LATEST MODEL SOUNDINGS DEPICT
SLIGHTLY HIGHER MOISTURE CONTENT FOR MOST AREAS ACROSS THE CENTRAL
GULF COAST WHICH INITIALIZES WELL WITH CURRENT SATELLITE LOOPS WHICH
NOW SHOW PWATS RANGING FROM 1.8 TO 2.1 INCHES FOR MOST OF THE CWA
THIS MORNING. WITH THIS CURRENT TREND COMBINED WITH SURFACED BASED
CAPES REACHING 3500 TO 4500 J/KG FOR MOST INLAND AREAS LATER TODAY
COUPLED WITH THE BETTER FORCING EARLIER IN THE AFTERNOON BELIEVE WE
WILL SEE ANOTHER ROUND OF STRONG TO POSSIBLY SEVERE WEATHER LATER
THIS AFTERNOON CONTINUING IN THE EARLY TO MID EVENING HOURS. FOR
YESTERDAY IT APPEARS THE BETTER FORCING GENERALLY FROM THE WEST WAS
LITTLE LATER IN THE DAY ALLOWING YESTERDAYS CONVECTION TO EXTEND
BETTER IN THE EVENING HOURS. SIMILAR TO YESTERDAY...THOUGH A LITTLE
EARLIER IN THE AFTERNOON...SOME CASES OF DAMAGING STRAIGHT LINE WINDS
WILL BE POSSIBLE WITH THE STRONGER THUNDERSTORMS...ESPECIALLY ALONG
AND NORTH OF THE I-10 CORRIDOR.

AS FOR TEMPS...STILL SEE ANOTHER DAY OF DANGEROUS HEAT INDEX VALUES
...108-112 DEGREES...SETTING UP LATER THIS MORNING THROUGH THIS
AFTERNOON...THOUGH SOME AREAS COULD SEE SOME RELIEF FROM RAIN. NEAR
THE IMMEDIATE COAST HEAT INDICES MAY ONLY CLIMB TO 103-107 RANGE
WHICH IS CLOSE TO THRESHOLD FOR AN ADVISORY. WITH THIS WE WILL
CONTINUE WITH THE CURRENT HEAT ADVISORY FOR ALL AREAS IN THE CWA
THROUGH THIS EVENING. 32/EE

THIS AFTERNOON'S WET MICROBURST RISK IS MODERATE.

[THURSDAY AND FRIDAY]...THE FLATTENED MID AND UPPER LEVEL RIDGE
BEGINS TO HAVE LIFE AGAIN BY THE END OF THE SHORT TERM...BUILDING
BACK IN ACROSS THE PLAINS. AS THE RIDGE CONTINUES TO BUILD...THE
TROUGH ALONG THE EASTERN SEABOARD BECOMES MORE DEFINED AND DIGS
FURTHER SOUTH. THIS WILL CONTINUE TO KEEP THE AREA ON THE EASTERN
PERIPHERY OF THE RIDGE THROUGH THE SHORT TERM. IMPULSES ROUNDING THE
EASTERN EDGE OF THE RIDGE COMBINED WITH PLENTY OF MOISTURE...PWATS OF
1.8 TO 2.3 INCHES...WILL KEEP RAIN CHANCES HIGHER DURING THE DAY...30
TO 50 PERCENT EACH AFTERNOON. KEEPING POPS ELEVATED THROUGH THE
OVERNIGHT HOURS...MAINLY TO ACCOUNT FOR LINGERING ISOLATED CONVECTION
IN THE EARLY OVERNIGHT HOURS...FOCUSED EAST OF THE I-65 CORRIDOR.
EACH AFTERNOON LOOKS TO BE ACTIVE WITH SCATTERED CONVECTION FOCUSED
ALONG THE SEA BREEZE BUT ALSO ISOLATED CONVECTION FURTHER INLAND.

HEAT AND HUMIDITY ARE STICKING AROUND THROUGH THE SHORT TERM.
DAYTIME HIGHS WILL RANGE FROM 92-96 WITH OVERNIGHT LOWS FALLING INTO
THE MID 70S INLAND WITH UPPER 70S ALONG THE BEACHES. HEAT INDICES
EXPECTED TO BE JUST SHY OF CRITERIA. HEAT INDICES WILL RANGE FROM
104-107 ACROSS THE AREA WITH ISOLATED SPOTS ACROSS THE FLORIDA
PANHANDLE AND WIREGRASS REGION REACHING 108. DECIDED AGAINST ISSUING
ANOTHER HEAT ADVISORY FOR THURSDAY AS HEAT INDICES MEETING CRITERIA
APPEAR TO BE TOO ISOLATED. THIS MAY BE RE-ASSESSED ON THE NEXT
PACKAGE UPDATE. 07/MB

.LONG TERM [SATURDAY THROUGH TUESDAY]...THE MID AND UPPER LEVEL
RIDGE CONTINUE TO RETROGRADE AND MEANDER ACROSS THE SOUTHERN PLAINS
...KEEPING THE AREA UNDER THE EASTERN PERIPHERY. THEREFORE...OR
UNFORTUNATELY...THE HEAT AND HUMIDITY IS HERE TO STAY THROUGH THE
LONG TERM PACKAGE. TEMPERATURES WILL QUICKLY SOAR INTO THE MID 90S
EACH AFTERNOON. HEAT INDICES WILL CONTINUE A SLIGHT DOWNWARD TREND AS
WE PROGRESS THROUGH THE EARLY PART OF THE WORK WEEK WITH READINGS OF
102-106. OVERNIGHT TEMPERATURES WILL NOT PROVIDE MUCH RELIEF FROM THE
HEAT...RANGING FROM MID 70S INLAND TO UPPER 70S ALONG THE COAST.

MOISTURE ASSOCIATED WITH THE SURFACE LOW THAT MODELS SHOW ALONG THE
SC/GA/FL COAST WILL MOVE OUT OF THE AREA LATE IN THE WEEKEND. HIGHEST
RAIN CHANCES...MAINLY ACROSS THE SOUTHEASTERN PORTION OF THE AREA...
WILL OCCUR EARLY IN THE WEEKEND ASSOCIATED WITH THIS FEATURE. RAIN
CHANCES RETURN TO MORE A MORE SUMMERTIME PATTERN WITH 20-30 PERCENT
POPS...FOCUSED ALONG THE SEA BREEZE...SUNDAY THROUGH THE REMAINDER
OF THE LONG TERM. 07/MB

&&

.MARINE...A BROAD UPPER RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE OVER MUCH OF THE
NORTHERN GULF COMBINED WITH AN ATTENDANT SURFACE RIDGE OVER MUCH OF
THE EASTERN GULF WILL HELP MAINTAIN A LIGHT TO MODERATE WESTERLY
FLOW OVER THE MARINE AREA THROUGH SATURDAY. PERSISTENT UPPER RIDGE
CENTERED MOSTLY TO THE WEST BUILDS FURTHER WEST OVER THE WEEKEND
ALLOWING SURFACE RIDGE OVER THE EASTERN GULF TO WEAKEN...FOLLOWED BY
A DEEPENING UPPER TROF ALONG THE EASTERN SEABOARD WHICH REFLECTS
NEAR THE SURFACE INITIALLY OVER THE EASTERN GULF TRACKING EAST AND
NORTH ALONG THE EASTERN SEABOARD LATER NEXT WEEK. WITH THIS PATTERN
A BETTER FLOW FROM THE EAST AND SOUTH CAN BE EXPECT FOR THE FIRST
PART OF NEXT WEEK. LITTLE CHANGE IN SEAS IS EXPECTED THROUGH EARLY
NEXT WEEK. WINDS AND SEAS WILL BE HIGHER NEAR ISOLATED TO SCATTERED
THUNDERSTORMS THROUGH EARLY NEXT WEEK. 32/EE
