AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATE TO AVIATION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MOBILE AL
1120 PM CST SAT JAN 31 2015

.AVIATION...
06Z ISSUANCE...VFR CIGS EXPECTED OVERNIGHT INTO SUNDAY...BUT WITH
APPROACHING RAIN...AM EXPECTING CIGS TO DROP THROUGH THE DAY AS RAIN
MOVES IN. AM EXPECTING CIGS/VISBYS TO REMAIN IN MVFR
CATEGORIES...BUT SOME LOCAL DROPS TO IFR LEVELS POSSIBLE INT HE
HEAVIER RAIN.

/16

&&

.UPDATE...CURRENT PACKAGE ON TRACK...SO NO UPDATES PLANNED. WITH
INCREASING CLOUD COVERAGE/THICKNESS...AM NOT EXPECTING TEMPS TO COOL
MUCH MORE. ALSO...AM SEEING CLOUD BASES DROP ALONG THE I10
CORRIDOR...INDICATING THAT THE DRY LAYER OF AIR NEAR THE SURFACE HAS
BEEN MOISTENING UP AS RAIN FALLS INTO IT AN EVAPORATES. THIS DRY AIR
WILL HELP TO DELAY ANY RAIN REACHING THE SURFACE OVER THE FA SUNDAY.

/16

&&

.SHORT TERM (TONIGHT AND SUNDAY)...CURRENT SATELLITE IMAGERY SHOWING
THICKENING HIGH CLOUDS MOVING TOWARD THE AREA LATE THIS
AFTERNOON...AND EXPECT CLOUDS TO THICKEN AND LOWER OVER THE REGION
OVERNIGHT AS A STORM SYSTEM DEVELOPS TO OUR WEST. MODELS STILL
SIMILAR IN INDICATING THAT A MID LEVEL TROUGH WILL TRANSLATE
EASTWARD FROM THE VICINITY OF THE NORTHERN AND CENTRAL PLAINS STATES
BY EARLY SUNDAY MORNING AND TOWARD THE MISSISSIPPI VALLEY REGION
SUNDAY AFTERNOON. AS THIS TROUGH DIGS IN...THE SFC HIGH PRESSURE
RIDGE OVER THE REGION WILL WEAKEN AND SHIFT EAST AS SFC LOW PRESSURE
DEVELOPS OVER THE SOUTHERN AND CENTRAL PLAINS TONIGHT AND THEN
DEEPENS AND LIFTS EAST-NORTHEAST FROM MISSOURI TO VICINITY OF
SOUTHERN INDIANA ON SUNDAY. SFC COLD FRONT THAT ACCOMPANIES THE LOW
PRESSURE WILL MOVE STEADILY EAST TOWARD THE FCST AREA LATE TONIGHT
AND SUNDAY...WITH MODIFYING LOW/MID LEVEL FLOW ADVECTING MOISTURE
INTO THE REGION OFF THE GULF OF MEXICO. ANY PRECIPITATION IN ADVANCE
OF THIS SYSTEM WILL VERY LIKELY NOT MOVE INTO THE FCST AREA BEFORE
SUNRISE SUNDAY...BUT MODELS STILL SUGGEST THAT A SMALL CHANCE OF
SHOWERS WILL BE DEVELOPING LATE TONIGHT OVER THE MISSISSIPPI SOUND
AND POINTS JUST TO THE WEST OF THE FCST AREA. GIVEN THE SOUTHEAST
FLOW AND POTENTIAL OF WEAK ISENTROPIC LIFT...THIS SEEMS PLAUSIBLE.
HAVE INTRODUCED A VERY SMALL SLIGHT CHANCE FOR SHOWERS OVER
MISSISSIPPI COUNTIES LATE TONIGHT...BUT FOR NOW IT APPEARS THAT THE
MAJORITY OF THE FCST AREA WILL REMAIN RAIN-FREE UNTIL SOMETIME
SUNDAY MORNING. RAIN SHOWERS WILL INCREASE IN COVERAGE ESPECIALLY
ACROSS OUR WESTERN ZONES SUNDAY MORNING... WITH COVERAGE BECOMING
WIDESPREAD ACROSS MOST OF THE FORECAST AREA BY SUNDAY AFTERNOON.
MAINTAINED THE LIKELY TO CATEGORICAL RAIN CHANCES FOR SUNDAY ACROSS
THE ENTIRE REGION. THE MAJORITY OF MODELS CONTINUE TO SHOW VERY
LIMITED INSTABILITY OVER THE FCST AREA SUNDAY AS THE FRONT
APPROACHES...SO WE HAVE KEPT PRECIPITATION MENTIONED ONLY IN THE
FORM OF RAIN SHOWERS. WHILE A FEW RUMBLES OF THUNDER CANNOT BE
COMPLETELY RULED OUT...CONFIDENCE OF SUCH IS RATHER LOW SO NO
THUNDERSTORMS WERE INTRODUCED TO THE GRIDDED FCST DATA. WITH THE
RETURN FLOW BEGINNING TO BECOME ESTABLISHED TONIGHT...EXPECT WARMER
OVERNIGHT MIN TEMPS. LOWS WILL BE IN THE UPPER 40S AND LOW 50S
COASTAL AREAS AND IN THE LOW TO MID 40S OVER THE INTERIOR. A COOL
AND RAINY DAY ON SUNDAY...WITH HIGH TEMPS MAINLY IN THE MID 60S.
12/DS

.SHORT TERM (SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT)...A DEEP TROUGH WILL
ALIGN ALONG OVER CANADA...EXTENDING FROM BAFFIN ISLAND OVER HUDSON
BAY AND REMAINING ALONG OR EAST OF THE US EAST COAST ALONG 75 W TO
80 W. A MID LEVEL RIDGE AXIS WILL HAVE DAMPENED OUT OVER THE ROCKIES
BUT SHOWING SIGNS OF A REBOUND AFTER MONDAY NIGHT. AN UPPER LEVEL
BAROCLINIC SYSTEM WAS MOVING EAST ACROSS THE OHIO AND MID
MISSISSIPPI VALLEYS...WITH A DEEPENING SURFACE LOW OVER THE SOUTHERN
GREAT LAKES SUNDAY. THESE FEATURES WILL ALIGN TO BRING A COLD FRONT
THROUGH HERE LATER SUNDAY EVENING AND OVERNIGHT. BEHIND THAT
FRONT...A STRONG HIGH WILL ALIGN ITSELF FROM THE CENTRAL PLAINS DEEP
INTO THE LOWER RIO GRANDE VALLEY. AS THE MID LEVEL TROUGH MOVES EAST
OVER THE AND TENNESSEE VALLEYS SWEEPING PAST THE MID GULF COAST
STATES SUNDAY NIGHT...THE ASSOCIATED COLD FRONT TRAILING
SOUTHWESTWARD WILL PUSH SOUTHEASTWARD THROUGH OUR AREA SUNDAY NIGHT.
DEEP LAYER MOISTURE AND LAYER LIFTING WILL AFFECT THE CENTRAL GULF
COAST AND NORTH CENTRAL GULF OF MEXICO SUNDAY NIGHT. THIS WILL
INCLUDE RAIN SHOWERS CONTINUING IN WIDESPREAD COVERAGE ACROSS MUCH
OF OUR REGION BY SUNDAY EVENING. WE HAVE KEPT PROBABILITY AT OR NEAR
CATEGORICAL AND STARTING SUNDAY EVENING BUT COVERAGE WILL RAPIDLY
DECREASE FROM NORTHWEST TO SOUTHEAST AFTER MIDNIGHT SUNDAY NIGHT
INTO EARLY MONDAY MORNING AS THE COLD FRONT SWEEPS ACROSS OUR AREA.
WHILE A RUMBLE OR TWO CANNOT BE COMPLETELY RULED OUT...THE MAJORITY
OF SHORT RANGE MODEL OUTPUTS SHOW VERY LITTLE INSTABILITY WITH CAPE
AROUND 100 TO 400...AND LI AROUND 0 TO -1 RISING RAPIDLY TO HIGH
POSITIVE NUMBERS. THEREFORE WE RETAINED RAIN SHOWERS WITHOUT
THUNDER. WE EXPECT RAINFALL TOTALS AVERAGING UP TO A QUARTER OF AN
INCH...WITH LOCALIZED RAINFALL OF A HALF TO 1 INCH POSSIBLE SUNDAY
EVENING.

IN TERMS OF TEMPERATURES FOLLOWING THE FRONT PASSING SUNDAY
NIGHT...LOWS FROM LOW AND MID 40S NORTHWEST OF I-65...AND IN THE MID
40S TO AROUND 50 ELSEWHERE ESPECIALLY ALONG THE COAST. HIGHS MONDAY
IN THE LOWER 50S SOUTH OF I-10 AND 45 TO 50 ELSEWHERE.

.LONG TERM (TUESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY)...STATUS QUO FOR THE DEEP TROUGH
WE MENTIONED...PRETTY WELL ANCHORED FOR THE FORSEEABLE FUTURE.
ACCORDING TO CALCULATIONS BY THE GFS..THAT MID LEVEL RIDGE AXIS THAT
WILL HAVE DAMPENED OUT OVER THE ROCKIES IS SHOWING SIGNS IT WILL
STRENGTHEN AGAIN STARTING TUESDAY OVER THE WEST COAST.

A DRY DEEP LAYER OF DRY AIR WILL SPREAD ACROSS THE REGION UNDER A
ZONAL FLOW PATTERN ALOFT WHICH WILL BECOME NORTHWEST A LATER THIS
WEEK. WHILE CLOUD COVER WILL BE DECREASING...A LARGE SURFACE RIDGE
RE EXTENDING FROM SOUTHEAST TX TO THE MISSISSIPPI...TENNESSEE AND
OHIO VALLEY REGIONS WILL KEEP IT CHILLY DUE TO A NORTH SURFACE WIND
ACROSS OUR FORECAST AREA MONDAY NIGHT INTO TUESDAY. HIGHS LOWER TO
MID 50S EVERYWHERE UP TO THE COAST EXCEPT BARRIER ISLANDS WHICH
SHOULD BE A LITTLE WARMER. AT THAT TIME THE SURFACE RIDGE WILL DRIFT
SOUTH ACROSS OUR REGION ER ROUND OF NEAR TO SLIGHTLY BELOW FREEZING
TEMPERATURES MAY IMPACT MOST INTERIOR AREAS LATE MONDAY NIGHT AND
EARLY TUESDAY MORNING.

TOWARD THE MID TO LATE NEXT WEEK...WE EXPECT AN UPPER LOW OVER
MEXICO TUESDAY TO BECOME AN OPEN TROUGH AS IT MOVES EAST INTO SOUTH
TAXES BY WEDNESDAY MORNING. EVENTUALLY IT WILL MOVE MORE TO THE EAST
WHILE PASSING THE LOWER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY AND NORTHWESTERN GULF OF
MEXICO WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON INTO WEDNESDAY NIGHT. SURFACE
CYCLOGENESIS IS EXPECTED OVER THE NORTHWESTERN GULF WEDNESDAY WHOSE
RESULTING SURFACE LOW MOVES EAST OVER THE NORTH CENTRAL GULF LATE
WEDNESDAY INTO EARLY THURSDAY. MEDIUM RANGE OUTPUTS STILL SHOW
DIFFERENCES WITH FEATURE TIMING AND PLACEMENT IN THE MIDDLE OF NEXT
WEEK...BUT THEY DO SHOW DEEP LAYER HUMIDITY INCREASING NORTHEASTWARD
INTO OUR REGION WEDNESDAY AND WEDNESDAY NIGHT. THE PATH OF THE
SURFACE LOW WILL DICTATE THE OVERALL CHANCES OF CONVECTIVE AND
STRATIFORM RAIN AS WELL AS THE HEAVY RAIN POTENTIAL OVER OUR
FORECAST AREA WEDNESDAY AND WEDNESDAY NIGHT...SO WE ARE KEEPING
WATCH OVER WHAT HAPPENS WITH THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS' MODEL RUNS. FOR
NOW...OUR CONFIDENCE IS HIGH ENOUGH TO GO WITH HIGH END CHANCE TO
LIKELY POPS OVER THE AREA WEDNESDAY...AND 40-50 PERCENT COVERAGE
WEDNESDAY NIGHT. A LOW CONFIDENCE FORECAST CONTINUES INTO THURSDAY
AND FRIDAY AS OUTPUTS SHOW SIGNIFICANT TIMING DIFFERENCES WITH
ANOTHER POSSIBLE TROUGH DEVELOPING LATER IN THE WEEK. HOWEVER FOR
THE MOMENT WE ARE STAYING CLOSE TO GUIDANCE WITH A LINGERING SLIGHT
CHANCE OF RAIN THURSDAY THEN CLEARING THURSDAY NIGHT INTO FRIDAY.
ANOTHER REINFORCING COLD FRONT IS POSSIBLE LATE IN THE WEEK WHICH
SHOULD KEEP TEMPERATURES BELOW NORMAL THROUGH MUCH OF NEXT WEEK.
THANKS NEIGHBORS FOR COORDINATION. 77/BD

.MARINE...HIGH PRESSURE EXTENDING FROM THE MID ATLANTIC STATES
SOUTHWEST ACROSS THE GULF COAST REGION THIS AFTERNOON WILL MOVE EAST
TONIGHT...RESULTING IN A RETURN FLOW OFF THE GULF OF MEXICO. ANOTHER
COLD FRONT WILL BE DEVELOPING AND MOVING TOWARD THE MARINE AREA FROM
THE WEST LATE TONIGHT AND SUNDAY. OCNLY MODERATE ONSHORE FLOW
EXPECTED IN ADVANCE OF THE FRONT...WITH A RESULTANT WIND SHIFT TO
THE NORTHWEST SUNDAY NIGHT. WINDS NO MORE THAN 15-20 KNOTS IN
ADVANCE OF THE FRONT...WILL INCREASE (ALONG WITH BUILDING SEAS) TO
SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY LEVELS BY SUNDAY NIGHT IN THE WAKE OF THE
FRONT. THE MODERATE TO STRONG OFFSHORE FLOW IN THE WAKE OF THE FRONT
WILL CONTINUE THROUGH MONDAY. WINDS AND SEAS TRENDING HIGHER EARLY
IN THE FCST PERIOD...BUT AS HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS OVER THE MARINE
