THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE IN MOBILE HAS ISSUED A
* FLOOD WARNING FOR...
SOUTHERN MOBILE COUNTY IN SOUTHWESTERN ALABAMA...
* UNTIL 345 AM CST SATURDAY
* AT 349 PM CST...RADAR SHOWS ANOTHER AREA OF RAIN THAT HAS
DEVELOPED AND IS MOVING ACROSS THE AREA. RAINFALL RATES ARE NOT AS
HIGH AS EARLIER TODAY...BUT AREA CAPABLE OF PRODUCING 1 TO 2" PER
HOUR...BUT GENERALLY LESS.
MODERATE TO HEAVY RAINFALL IS NOW MOVING ACROSS AREAS THAT HAVE
ALREADY RECEIVED UP TO BETWEEN 3 AND 4 INCHES OF RAIN EARLIER
TODAY...ESPECIALLY OVER SOUTHEAST MOBILE COUNTY. THIS WILL RESULT IN
CONTINUED RISES ON SMALL CREEKS AND PONDING OF WATER IN LOW LYING
AREAS. WATER WILL BE SLOW TO DRAIN...SO EXPECT A MORE GENERAL
INUNDATION FLOODING TO PERSIST THROUGH THE EVENING...AND POSSIBLY
EARLY MORNING HOURS.
* SOME LOCATIONS THAT WILL EXPERIENCE FLOODING INCLUDE...
MOBILE...PRICHARD...SARALAND...SATSUMA...CHICKASAW...BAYOU LA BATRE...
CREOLA...GRAND BAY...TILLMANS CORNER...THEODORE...MIDTOWN MOBILE...
REGIONAL AIRPORT IN WEST MOBILE...CODEN...I65 AND I165...I10 AND I65...

I65 AND AL 158.
PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...
DO NOT DRIVE YOUR VEHICLE INTO AREAS WHERE THE WATER COVERS THE
ROADWAY. THE WATER DEPTH MAY BE TOO GREAT TO ALLOW YOUR CAR TO CROSS
SAFELY. MOVE TO HIGHER GROUND.

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MOBILE AL
1244 PM CST FRI MAR 11 2016
...SECOND ROUND OF FLASH-FLOOD PRODUCING RAINS TAPERING THIS
AFTERNOON...
.DISCUSSION...SEE UPDATED INFORMATION FOR LAND AREAS BELOW.
&&
.UPDATE...SYNOPTICALLY...THE WELL ADVERTISED UPPER LOW OVER TEXAS IS
NOW LIFTING TO THE NORTHEAST. DOWNSTREAM AND TO THE IMMEDIATE NE OF
THE UPPER LOW OVER OUR REGION...NOTABLE 250-850 HPA DIFFERENTIAL
DIVERGENCE HAS FORCED DEEP-LAYER VERTICAL MOTION AND A RESULTANT
SECOND ROUND OF VERY HEAVY RAINFALL THAT HAS RESULTED IN FLASH
FLOODING. A 'PROGRESSIVE' BAND OF DEEP CONVECTION WHOSE LEADING EDGE
MOVED OUT OF SE MS EARLIER THIS MORNING HAS NOW VIRTUALLY STALLED
ALONG A LINE FROM GULF SHORES,AL TO GROVE HILL, AL.
LATEST SATELLITE AND RADAR TRENDS OVER THE PAST FEW HOURS SHOW CLOUD
TOP WARMING...A GENERAL DECREASE IN LIGHTNING AND SURFACE-BASED
INSTABILITY. DEEP-LYR MOISTURE FLUX CONVERGENCE (BEST ALONG LEADING
EDGE) HAS ALSO WEAKENED. RAINFALL RATES HAVE FALLEN TO LESS THAN A
QUARTER-INCH PER HOUR BEHIND THE LINE OVER SOUTHEAST MS AND WESTERN
SW AL.
STRONG OBSERVATIONAL EVIDENCE SUPPORTS THE FACT THAT THIS IS THE END
OF THE SECOND ROUND OF FLASH-FLOOD PRODUCING RAINFALL. YOU CAN LOOK
FOR US TO BEGIN TO MERGE OUR FLASH FLOOD PRODUCTS INTO AREAL FLOOD
WARNINGS LATER THIS AFTERNOON WITH DURATIONS UP TO 24 HOURS DUE TO
INUNDATION FLOODING. RISING RIVERS WILL NOT ALLOW FOR THE DRAINING OF
SMALLER BASINS.
AS FOR A SECOND ROUND OF HEAVY RAINFALL OVERNIGHT...WE DO SEE
EVIDENCE INT HE SHORT-TERM GUIDANCE THERE IS SOME RE-LOADING OF THE
INGREDIENTS NECESSARY TO PRODUCE YET ANOTHER ROUND...BUT CONSENSUS
IS THAT THE HEAVIEST RAINFALL WILL DEVELOP AND REMAIN CLOSE TO OUR
COASTAL ZONES...BUT NOT GREATLY AFFECT THEM. THIS SITUATION WILL BE
CAREFULLY MONITORED AND ITS OUTCOME WILL BE DRIVEN BY HOW FAR SOUTH
CURRENT OUTFLOWS MOVE OUT INTO THE GULF FROM THIS SECOND ROUND. THIS MAY
BE A SAVING FACTOR FOR THE COASTAL COUNTIES SO AS TO PREVENT DEEP
LAYER MOISTURE FLUX CONVERGENCE FROM FORMING FURTHER NORTHWARD AND
FORCING ADDITIONAL DEEP CONVECTION OVER ALREADY RAIN- SOAKED AREAS.

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 1120 AM CST FRI MAR 11 2016/
DISCUSSION...UPDATED FOR LATEST AVIATION DISCUSSION BELOW.
AVIATION...
18Z ISSUANCE...A LARGE AREA OF MODERATE TO HEAVY RAINFALL WILL
CONTINUE MOVING IN FROM THE WEST TODAY MAINTAINING DEEP-LAYER CLOUD
COVER. SURFACE WINDS WILL BE VARIABLE IN THUNDERSTORM OUTFLOWS...BUT
AHEAD F THE LINE EXPECT SE GUSTY WINDS. AREA TERMINALS WEST OF I-65
ARE ALREADY EXPERIENCING IFR TO TEMPORARILY LIFR CONDITIONS DUE TO
CIGS/VSBYS OR BOTH AND THIS WILL PERSIST THROUGH MID EVENING...AT
LEAST. TERMINALS EAST OF I-65 WILL SIMILARLY TREND TO PREVAILING
IFR/LIFR CONDITIONS AFTER 11.21 UTC AND WILL ENDURE UNTIL THE EARLY
MORNING HOURS. OUTLOOK THROUGH SUNRISE WILL BE TO STAY WITH AT LEAST
PREVAILING IFR CONDITIONS FOR BOTH CIGS AND VSBYS (OR BOTH) AS
PRECIPITATION PERSISTS AND WINDS BECOME ESE TO SE AND MAINTAIN LOW
CLOUDS AND REDUCED VSBYS DUE TO FOG WHEN NOT PRECIPITATING. /23 JMM
PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 916 AM CST FRI MAR 11 2016/
DISCUSSION...SEE UPDATED INFORMATION FOR LAND AREAS BELOW.
UPDATE...HAVE UPDATED TO INCREASE POPS ESPECIALLY OVER THE WESTERN
HALF OF THE AREA FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE DAY AND TO ADD CLARKE AND
BALDWIN COUNTIES TO THE FLASH FLOOD WATCH. MADE ADJUSTMENTS TO
TEMPERATURES AND DEWPOINTS BASED ON LATEST TRENDS WITH OTHER MINOR
ADJUSTMENTS. /29
PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 444 AM CST FRI MAR 11 2016/
NEAR TERM /NOW THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT/...A DEEP CUTOFF UPPER LOW
REMAINS NEARLY STATIONARY ACROSS DEEP SOUTH TEXAS THIS MORNING.
MEANWHILE...AN UPPER RIDGE REMAINS ACROSS THE SOUTHEAST COAST. A
DEEP LAYER SOUTHERLY FLOW BETWEEN THESE FEATURES CONTINUES TO FEED
MOISTURE ACROSS THE LOWER MISSISSIPPI RIVER VALLEY. THE COMBINATION
OF THESE FEATURES ALONG WITH NUMEROUS UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCES AND
NEAR RECORD PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES AROUND 2 INCHES IS LEADING TO
VERY HEAVY RAIN JUST TO THE WEST OF THE AREA. A SHORTWAVE MOVING INTO
THE WEST COAST WILL FINALLY BEGIN TO KICK THE UPPER LOW SLOWLY OFF TO
THE NORTHEAST THROUGH TONIGHT. THIS WILL SHIFT THE PRIMARY MOISTURE
AXIS EASTWARD INTO OUR SOUTHEAST MISSISSIPPI AND SOUTHWEST ALABAMA
COUNTIES LATE THIS MORNING THROUGH TONIGHT. THIS WILL SET THE STAGE
FOR ADDITIONAL HEAVY RAIN AND FLOODING ESPECIALLY ACROSS SOUTHEAST MS
AND PORTIONS OF SOUTHWEST ALABAMA THROUGH TONIGHT. A FLASH FLOOD
WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT FOR THESE AREAS WHERE AN ADDITIONAL 4 TO 8
INCHES OF RAIN IS POSSIBLE (WITH LOCALIZED DOUBLE AMOUNTS)...ON TOP
OF WHAT HAS ALREADY FALLEN. THE HIGHEST RISK OF SEEING FLASH FLOODING
IS ACROSS SOUTHEASTERN MISSISSIPPI THROUGH THE EARLY AFTERNOON...
SPREADING EASTWARD LATE THIS AFTERNOON. STRONG SOUTHERLY FLOW WILL
CONTINUE TO MAINTAIN A HIGH RISK OF RIP CURRENTS...ALONG WITH HIGH
SURF AND MINOR COASTAL FLOODING. HIGHS TODAY WILL RANGE FROM THE LOW
70S IN WESTERN AREAS TO NEAR 80 IN EASTERN AREAS. LOWS TONIGHT WILL
RANGE FROM THE LOW 60S INLAND TO MID 60S ALONG THE COAST. 13/JC
SHORT TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT/...THE WEAKENING UPPER
LEVEL LOW WILL OPEN TO A DEEP NEGATIVELY TILTED UPPER TROF ON
SATURDAY WHILE LIFTING SLOWLY NORTH OUT OF TEXAS AND INTO EASTERN
OKLAHOMA. A DEEPLY MOIST AND DIFLUENT SOUTHERLY MID LEVEL FLOW
PATTERN WILL SPREAD FROM THE CENTRAL GULF INTO OUR FORECAST AREA WELL
TO THE EAST OF THIS FEATURE...WITH PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES
REMAINING ABOVE CLIMATOLOGICAL LEVELS. MEDIUM RANGE MODELS INDICATE
YET ANOTHER ROUND OF SHOWERS AND STORMS...SOME PRODUCING LOCALLY
HEAVY RAINFALL (AT LEAST SEVERAL MORE INCHES IN ADDITION TO WHAT WILL
HAVE FALLEN OVER THE PAST 36 HOURS) OVER SOUTHEAST MISSISSIPPI
SATURDAY AND THEN SPREADING MORE QUICKLY EAST ACROSS SOUTHWEST
ALABAMA SATURDAY NIGHT. WITH THE INITIAL SLOWER MOVEMENT SATURDAY THE
ADDITIONAL HEAVY RAINFALL WILL OCCUR OVER ALREADY SATURATED GROUND
AND WILL LIKELY LEAD TO ADDITIONAL FLOODING PROBLEMS. A FLASH FLOOD
WATCH WILL REMAIN IN EFFECT FOR ALL OF SOUTHEAST MISSISSIPPI AND
CHOCTAW...WASHINGTON AND MOBILE COUNTIES OF SOUTHWEST ALABAMA THROUGH
SATURDAY. WILL KEEP POPS CATEGORICAL OVER THESE LOCATIONS SATURDAY...
THEN TAPERING OFF (FROM WEST TO EAST) TO CHANCE POPS SATURDAY NIGHT.
WHILE THE THREAT FOR HEAVY RAINFALL AND FLOODING CONTINUES OVER
WESTERN THIRD OF THE FCST AREA...THE FLOODING POTENTIAL STILL
DECREASES FARTHER TO THE EAST...WITH RAINFALL AMOUNTS GENERALLY
TAPERING TO 1 TO 3 INCHES OVER EASTERN PORTIONS OF THE FCST AREA.
LINGERING SLIGHT RAIN CHANCES OVER THE EASTERN THIRD OF THE FCST AREA
EARLY SUNDAY WILL END BY LATE SUNDAY AS THE SYSTEM MOVES MORE QUICKLY
ON OFF TO THE EAST OF THE AREA AND A DRY WESTERLY FLOW ALOFT BECOMES
DOMINANT. DAYTIME HIGHS SATURDAY AND SUNDAY EXPECTED TO BE IN THE
70S. OVERNIGHT LOWS SATURDAY AND SUNDAY NIGHTS IN THE UPPER 50S AND
LOWER 60S. 12/DS
LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...DRY ZONAL FLOW ALOFT WILL
PREVAIL ACROSS THE CENTRAL GULF COAST REGION MONDAY AND TUESDAY.
HOWEVER...SOME MOISTENING OF THE ATMOSPHERE AHEAD OF A WEAK SHORTWAVE
TROUGH AND ASSOCIATED WEAK FRONTAL BOUNDARY THAT WILL BE MOVING
TOWARD THE MISSISSIPPI VALLEY WEDNESDAY AND TO NEAR THE COAST BY
THURSDAY WILL BRING OUR NEXT CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS
LATE IN THE EXTENDED PERIOD. ABOVE NORMAL TEMPERATURES OTHERWISE
CONTINUE INTO LATE NEXT WEEK WITH HIGHS AROUND 80 EACH DAY AND
OVERNIGHT LOWS AROUND 60 EACH NIGHT. 12/DS
MARINE...A MODERATE TO STRONG EAST TO SOUTHEAST WIND FLOW WILL
CONTINUE OVER THE MARINE AREA THROUGH SATURDAY BETWEEN HIGH PRESSURE
OFF THE SOUTHEAST COAST AND LOW PRESSURE OVER TEXAS. A SMALL CRAFT
ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT FOR MOST OF THE MARINE AREA THROUGH 6 PM
SATURDAY. SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL INCREASE IN COVERAGE TODAY
AND CONTINUE TO AFFECT THE MARINE AREA THROUGH SATURDAY EVENING. GUSTY
WINDS...FREQUENT LIGHTNING AND PERIODS OF VISIBILITY REDUCING HEAVY
RAIN WILL BE LIKELY WITH THE PASSAGE OF ANY STRONGER MARINE THUNDERSTORMS.
