AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MOBILE AL
1202 AM CDT WED JUN 24 2015

.AVIATION...
06Z ISSUANCE...CURRENTLY MONITORING THE MESOSCALE CONVECTIVE
SYSTEM...MCS...OVER TENNESSEE AND BEGINNING TO ADVANCE INTO
ALABAMA/MISSISSIPPI. BASED ON CURRENT MOVEMENT AND A SOMEWHAT DEFINED
850 MB THETA-E AXIS ORIENTED NORTH-SOUTH...EXPECT THE MCS TO CONTINUE
ADVANCING SOUTHWARD OVERNIGHT. THE CONVECTION MAY VEER OFF INTO
SOUTHERN MISSISSIPPI LATE TONIGHT INTO EARLY WEDNESDAY MORNING DEPENDING
ON HOW THIS FEATURE INTERACTS WITH THE BROAD 850-MB THETA-E RIDGE
WHICH ADD TO UNCERTAINTY FOR ASSESSING IMPACTS. HAVE OPTED TO EXPECT
VCTS BY 10-13Z WITH WINDS BECOMING NORTHWEST NEAR 8-10 KNOTS AS AN
ANTICIPATED OUTFLOW BOUNDARY MOVES THROUGH. A SEA BREEZE IS
ANTICIPATED TO DEVELOP NEAR 18-19Z WITH WINDS BECOMING SOUTHWEST.

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 714 PM CDT TUE JUN 23 2015/

DISCUSSION...

UPDATED FOR THE LATEST AVIATION DISCUSSION BELOW.  /02/

AVIATION...

AREAL COVERAGE OF SHRA/TSRA CONTINUES TO WANE ACROSS THE FORECAST
AREA EARLY THIS EVENING. EXPECT MOST OF THE CONVECTION TO REMAIN
OVER E PARTS OF THE REGION FOR THE NEXT HOUR OR TWO (MAINLY S-
CENTRAL AL/CENTRAL FL PANHANDLE) BEFORE ANY REMAINING INSTABILITY IS
LOST. CONVECTIVE DEBRIS SHOULD KEEP MID- AND HIGH-LEVEL CLOUDS
ACROSS MUCH OF THE REGION THROUGH THE EVENING HOURS BEFORE THINNING.
EVEN WITH THE CLOUD COVER...EXPECT FLIGHT CATEGORIES TO REMAIN VFR
THROUGH MUCH OF THE UPCOMING FORECAST PERIOD AT THE MAJOR AIRPORTS.
SIMILAR TO THE PAST COUPLE OF DAYS...SHRA/TSRA SHOULD AGAIN DEVELOP
AFTER 24/1800 UTC...AND PRODUCE REDUCED CIGS/VSBYS. HOWEVER...
PROBABILISTIC GUIDANCE INDICATES THAT FLIGHT CATEGORY REDUCTIONS
WILL BE LIMITED TO MVFR RANGES. /02/

PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 542 PM CDT TUE JUN 23 2015/

DISCUSSION...
OBSERVATIONAL DATA INDICATES THAT HEAT INDICES AROUND THE REGION HAVE
DROPPED BELOW HEAT ADVISORY CRITERIA. AS SUCH...WE HAVE DECIDED TO
CANCEL THE HEAT ADVISORY FOR THE ENTIRE FORECAST AREA.
OTHERWISE...THE ONGOING FORECAST APPEARS TO BE ON TRACK WITH ONLY
MINOR TWEAKS HERE AND THERE.

ISC GRIDS HAVE BEEN SENT AND SHOULD BE POSTED TO THE INTERNET.
UPDATED TEXT PRODUCTS WILL BE ISSUED SHORTLY.  /BUTTS/

PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 405 PM CDT TUE JUN 23 2015/

SHORT TERM /TONIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY/...WILL LET THE HEAT ADVISORY
EXPIRE AT 6 PM. NUMEROUS HOT SPOTS PERSIST WHERE THUNDERSTORMS HAVE
BEEN ABSENT. THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY SHOULD DISSIPATE AGAIN BY EARLY
EVENING. TOMORROW SHOULD BE A SIMILAR REPEAT OF TODAY...THOUGH THE
MODELS ARE TRENDING A DEGREE OR TWO COOLER THAN TODAY SO DO NOT
ANTICIPATE A HEAT ADVISORY THOUGH IT WILL BE HOT WITH HEAT INDICES
RANGING FROM 102 TO 107. AFTERNOON CONVECTION WILL AGAIN GET ROLLING
AROUND 2 PM WITH THE STRONGEST STORMS...ISOLATED SEVERE NEAR THE
COAST ALONG AND NEAR THE SEA BREEZE FRONT. STORMS WILL AGAIN
DISSIPATE BY EARLY EVENING. UPPER LEVEL RIDGE BEGINS WEAKENING AND
SHIFTING WESTWARD...THIS SHOULD PROVIDE SOME GRADUAL RELIEF IN TERMS
OF DAYTIME HIGH TEMPERATURES. HIGHS SHOULD TOP OUT IN THE LOW TO MID
90S. A CONVECTIVE AFTERNOON IS ANTICIPATED WITH STORMS AGAIN
DISSIPATING IN THE EVENING. /08 JW

THIS AFTERNOON'S WET MICROBURST RISK IS HIGH

LONG TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY/...UPPER LEVEL RIDGE
CONTINUES TO WEAKEN WITH A BROAD TROUGH DEVELOPING OVER THE AREA BY
FRIDAY. FALLING HTS AND CAA ALOFT WILL ALLOW FOR AN UPTICK OF
CONVECTION WHICH WILL CONTINUE TO BE DIURNALLY DRIVEN. TEMPERATURES
WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE WEEKEND. A WEAK FRONT IS PROJECTED TO PUSH
THROUGH THE AREA LATE SATURDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING...EXPECT MORE
WIDESPREAD CONVECTION THAT WILL LINGER INTO THE LATE NIGHT HOURS.
TEMPERATURES OVER THE WEEKEND SHOULD BE SIGNIFICANTLY COOLER THEN
WE'VE EXPERIENCE LATELY...TOPPING OUT IN THE UPPER 80S. THE WEAK
BOUNDARY THEN STALLS OUT OVER THE AREA BECOMING A TRIGGER FOR LATE
MORNING...AFTERNOON THUNDERSTORMS ALONG THE COAST AND INLAND...AND
THEN OVER THE NORTHERN GULF AT NIGHT. /08 JW

AVIATION...23.18Z TERMINAL FORECAST DISCUSSION...
VFR CONDITIONS GENERALLY PREVAIL THROUGH THE AFTERNOON WITH CUMULUS
DECK BASES AROUND 4000 FT AGL. ISOLATED TO SCATTERED TSRA WILL
DEVELOP THIS AFTERNOON...GENERALLY BETWEEN 23.19Z-24.00Z. SOME STORMS
WILL BE CAPABLE OF PRODUCING STRONG WIND GUSTS OVER 40 KNOTS...
AND RESTRICTED VISIBILITY DUE TO HEAVY RAIN. /21

MARINE...A WEAK PRESSURE PATTERN WILL PERSIST THROUGH THE END OF
THE WORK WEEK KEEPING WINDS LIGHT AND SEAS LOW. WINDS WILL INCREASE
TO POSSIBLY CAUTIONARY LEVELS OVER THE WEEKEND AS A SURFACE FRONT
MOVES OVER THE NORTHERN GULF.
