AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MOBILE AL
404 PM CST TUE FEB 24 2015

.SHORT TERM (TONIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT)...SURFACE RIDGE OF
HIGH PRESSURE ACROSS THE NORTHERN GULF REGION WILL WEAKEN AS AN AREA
OF LOW PRESSURE FORMING OVER THE WESTERN GULF OF MEXICO LATE TONIGHT
MOVES EAST-NORTHEAST ACROSS THE NORTH CENTRAL AND NORTHEAST GULF ON
WEDNESDAY. MEANWHILE...A FAST MOVING UPPER SHORTWAVE EXITING THE
ROCKIES WILL REACH THE MID MISSISSIPPI RIVER VALLEY BY MID WEDNESDAY
AFTERNOON. DEEP SOUTHWEST FLOW AHEAD OF THESE FEATURES WILL BRING
PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES UP TO NEAR 1.4 INCHES BY NOON WEDNESDAY.
CLOUDS WILL INCREASE OVERNIGHT TONIGHT...WITH RAIN CHANCES REALLY
INCREASING THROUGHOUT THE DAY WEDNESDAY TO NEAR 100 PERCENT. RAINFALL
TOTALS WILL RANGE FROM 0.75 TO 1.00 INCH NORTHWEST OF I-65 TO 1.00 TO
1.30 INCHES SOUTHEAST OF I-65. HEAVIER AMOUNTS NEAR 2.00 INCHES COULD
OCCUR SOUTHEAST OF I-65 RESULTING ON NUISANCE URBAN FLOODING.

LOWS TONIGHT WILL FALL INTO THE MID TO UPPER 30S NORTHWEST OF I-65...
WITH UPPER 30S TO LOWER 40S SOUTHEAST OF I-65. HIGH TEMPERATURES
WEDNESDAY WILL BE IN THE 40S...WITH LOWER 50S ALONG THE COAST. /22

WEDNESDAY NIGHT...RAIN WILL EXIT THE AREA FROM WEST TO EAST BY
WEDNESDAY EVENING. COLD TEMPERATURES AND DRIER AIR QUICKLY FILL INTO
THE REGION BEHIND THE RAIN. DESPITE CLOUD COVER OVERNIGHT...STILL
EXPECTING TEMPERATURES TO FALL INTO THE 30S ACROSS MUCH OF THE AREA
WITH TEMPERATURES NEAR 40 ALONG THE IMMEDIATE COASTLINE. EXPECTING
THE FREEZING LINE TO EDGE SOUTH INTO WAYNE AND CHOCTAW COUNTIES...BUT
NOT UNTIL THE HOURS RIGHT BEFORE SUNRISE. FOR NOW...IT APPEARS THAT
THE ATMOSPHERE SHOULD DRY OUT SUFFICIENTLY ENOUGH ACROSS OUR FAR
NORTHWESTERN COUNTIES BEFORE THOSE AREAS FALL AT OR JUST BELOW
FREEZING...SO LEFT ANY MENTION OF WINTRY PRECIPITATION OUT OF THE
FORECAST. 07/MB

.LONG TERM (THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY)...THE AREA WILL FINALLY GET A
CHANCE TO DRY OUT THROUGH THE EARLY PART OF THE WEEKEND. CLOUD COVER
WILL LINGER THROUGH THURSDAY BEFORE FINALLY CLEARING ON FRIDAY. THIS
WILL KEEP DAYTIME HIGHS IN THE UPPER 40S ACROSS OUR FAR NORTHWESTERN
COUNTIES AND LOW 50S ACROSS THE REST OF THE AREA. LESS CLOUD COVER
WILL RESULT IN COLD TEMPERATURES ON BOTH FRIDAY AND SATURDAY MORNINGS.
TEMPERATURES EXPECTED TO DIP INTO THE UPPER 20S ACROSS OUR FAR
NORTHWESTERN COUNTIES WITH LOW 30S ACROSS MUCH OF SOUTHEAST MISSISSIPPI
AND SOUTHWEST ALABAMA. TEMPERATURES RIGHT ALONG THE COAST WILL FALL
INTO THE UPPER 30S. WARMER TEMPERATURES RETURN THIS WEEKEND WITH
HIGHS IN THE 50S ON SATURDAY AND 60S ON SUNDAY. TEMPERATURES IN THE
70S ARE ON TAP FOR THE EARLY PART OF NEXT WEEK...BUT WITH THOSE
WARMER TEMPERATURES COMES THE CHANCE FOR RAIN. RAIN CHANCES RAMP BACK
UP ON SUNDAY AS THE NEXT FRONTAL SYSTEM APPROACHES THE AREA. WILL
KEEP A CLOSE EYE ON THIS NEXT SYSTEM FOR THE POTENTIAL FOR
THUNDERSTORMS. 07/MB

&&

.AVIATION...
24.18Z KMOB/KBFM AND KPNS TAF CYCLE
MVFR CEILINGS AROUND 1000 FEET WILL PERSIST THROUGH MUCH OF THE
FORECAST PERIOD AS COOL SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE REMAINS ACROSS THE
REGION. AN AREA OF SURFACE LOW PRESSURE FORMING ACROSS THE WESTERN
GULF OF MEXICO LATE TONIGHT WILL MOVE NORTHEAST OVER THE NORTH
CENTRAL GULF BY NOON WEDNESDAY. THIS LOW WILL FIRST BRING VICINITY
SHOWERS TO THE TAF SITES EARLY WEDNESDAY MORNING...FOLLOWED BY
INCREASING RAIN CHANCES AFTER 25.14Z. NORTH WINDS 8 TO 10 KNOTS
WILL TURN TO THE NORTHEAST WEDNESDAY MORNING. /22

&&

.MARINE...AN AREA OF LOW PRESSURE FORMING OVER THE WESTERN GULF OF
MEXICO LATE TONIGHT WILL MOVE EAST-NORTHEAST ACROSS THE NORTH CENTRAL
AND NORTHEAST GULF ON WEDNESDAY. A MODERATE EASTERLY WIND FLOW WILL
DEVELOP OVER THE MARINE AREA AHEAD OF LOW PRESSURE AREA WEDNESDAY
MORNING...FOLLOWED BY A MODERATE TO STRONG NORTHERLY WIND FLOW
WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON THROUGH THURSDAY MORNING AS THE LOW PASSES
QUICKLY TO THE EAST. A SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY MAY BE REQUIRED FOR THE
GULF WATERS...THE MISSISSIPPI SOUND EAST OF PASCAGOULA AND SOUTHERN
MOBILE BAY FROM LATE WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON INTO EARLY THURSDAY MORNING.
A MODERATE TO OCCASIONALLY STRONG OFFSHORE FLOW WILL RETURN THURSDAY
NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY AS STRONG HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS INTO THE AREA.
