DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 508 AM CST MON DEC 28 2015/
DUE TO THE STRONG ONSHORE FLOW THIS MORNING AND BREAKER HEIGHTS
INCREASING TO 4 TO 6 FEET HAVE OPTED TO GO WITH A HIGH SURF ADVISORY
COMBINED WITH A HIGH RISK OF DANGEROUS RIP CURRENTS THROUGH THIS
AFTERNOON. HAVE ALSO INCLUDED A WIND ADVISORY FOR THE COASTAL ZONES
OF ALABAMA AND NORTHWEST THROUGH THIS MORNING DUE TO THE STRONG H85
JET.
AS FOR TEMPS WILL USE A BLEND OF THE MAV AND ECMWF MOS GUIDANCE

HIGHS TODAY WILL RANGE FROM THE LOWER TO MIDDLE 70S INLAND AND NEAR
THE COAST...FOLLOWED BY LOWS IN THE MID TO UPPER 40S TO THE WEST AND

TROUGH EMBEDDED WITHIN THE SOUTHWEST FLOW IS FORECAST TO LIFT FROM
THE NORTHWESTERN GULF TOWARD THE GULF COAST STATES LATE TUESDAY
AFTERNOON INTO TUESDAY NIGHT...BRINGING INCREASED DEEP LAYER MOISTURE
AND LIFT BACK ACROSS MUCH OF OUR REGION. LOW LEVEL SOUTHERLY FLOW
WILL ALSO BRING A RETURN OF LOW LEVEL MOISTURE BACK INTO OUR AREA

ALONG WITH DEEP LAYER MOISTURE/LIFT WILL SUPPORT THE DEVELOPMENT OF
SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND STORMS TUESDAY NIGHT...BECOMING
MORE WIDESPREAD IN COVERAGE DURING THE DAY WEDNESDAY AS THE NEXT
SURFACE COLD FRONT ADVANCES SOUTHEASTWARD ACROSS OUR AREA. THE
PRIMARY CONCERN TUESDAY NIGHT AND WEDNESDAY WILL BE LOCALLY HEAVY
RAINFALL WHICH COULD RESULT IN SOME ADDITIONAL FLOODING CONCERNS
GIVEN THE VERY SATURATED GROUNDS OVER OUR REGION. OUR LATEST RAINFALL
FORECAST CALLS FOR AN ADDITIONAL 1 TO 3 INCHES OF RAIN WITH ISOLATED
HIGHER AMOUNTS TUESDAY NIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY. A LIKELY CHANCE OF RAIN
WILL SHIFT INTO SOUTHEASTERN PORTIONS OF THE FORECAST AREA WEDNESDAY
