What forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this heat advisory went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS Mobile, AL wrote its last area forecast discussion before this heat advisory went out at Jun 16, 7:21 AM CDT, 4 hours 51 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Jun 16, 7:21 AM CDT, 4 hours 51 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Mobile AL 721 AM CDT THU JUN 16 2016 .DISCUSSION...Updated for latest aviation discussion below. && .AVIATION... 12Z issuance...MVFR to IFR cigs and some localized LIFR cigs early this morning will gradually become VFR later this morning. Scattered SHRA/TSRA will develop today, some of which will be capable of gusty and erratic and winds, and MVFR or lower conditions with heavy rain. && .PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 447 AM CDT THU JUN 16 2016/ NEAR TERM /Now Through Thursday night/...An upper level ridge of high pressure continues to amplify from Texas through the Central/Northern Plains and Upper Midwest early this morning, while troughing extends from the Great Lakes Region to the Eastern CONUS. A northwest flow pattern aloft is in place from the Tennessee Valley to a good portion of the Central Gulf Coast Region early this morning. A shortwave impulse embedded in the northwest flow has resulted in scattered to numerous showers and thunderstorms that have developed and moved from north central AL toward the southeastern portion of the state early this morning, though the bulk of this activity has remained to the north and east of our forecast area. Additional showers and thunderstorms have developed along the northwest FL Panhandle coast as of 3:30 A.M. Very warm and humid conditions are noted across the region early this morning, with dewpoints ranging from the mid 70s to as high as 80-82 near the beaches. Little change in the overall pattern is expected through tonight as the upper level ridge of high pressure continues to build from Texas through the Plains/Upper Midwest, and an upper level trough over the Great Lakes gradually moves southeastward toward the Mid-Atlantic Region. Our forecast area will remain in a north to northwest flow pattern aloft between these features through tonight. Embedded shortwave impulses within the flow will move southward through our forecast area today, and will provide sufficient lift to produce scattered showers and thunderstorms around the region through the afternoon. POPs have been kept in the 30-50 percent range. Our checklist indicates a moderate potential for wet microbursts with convection today given precipitable water values around 1.75" and MLCAPE values as high as 2000-3000 J/KG. Therefore, a few strong to marginally severe storms will be possible today, with strong to locally damaging winds, small hail, frequent lightning and very heavy rain. A few locations around the region have picked up significant rainfall the past few days, so will have to closely monitor for localized flooding, as storms will also be capable of producing locally heavy rainfall. The other weather headline for today will be more heat and humidity, which will lead to elevated heat index readings around the region. Afternoon high temperatures are forecast to range from the upper 80s to around 90 near the beaches/coast to the lower to mid 90s inland. Surface dewpoints will likely range in the lower 70s inland and in the mid to upper 70s near the coast this afternoon, and these values should yield heat indices in the 102-107 range across the area this afternoon, a little below heat advisory criteria. Even so, caution should be taken if outdoors for an extended period this afternoon. The axis of higher moisture and lift with the shortwave trough should push southward into southern portions of the area this evening and offshore tonight. Isolated showers and storms will still be possible inland, perhaps more scattered closer to the coast. Convective activity should decrease late in the evening and overnight and mainly become confined near the immediate coast and offshore. Another warm and very humid night can be expected with lows ranging in the mid 70s inland to around 80 near the coast and beaches. /21 SHORT TERM /Friday Through Saturday night/...For friday 2 main concerns will be heat indices climbing to the 105 to 109 range possibly leading to a heat advisory for all areas generally along and north of the I-10 corridor late fri morning through fri afternoon...along with scattered afternoon thunderstorms some possibly severe approaching from the north. The best coverage of thunderstorms looks to be along and east of the I-65 corridor. With surfaced based capes climbing to around 3000 j/kg...mid to upper lapse rates above 7.0 c/km...a weakening frontal boundary pushing southward over the forecast area mainly associated with a deepening upper trof mostly over the eastern conus and western atlantic...the threat for severe thunderstorm development will be elevated fri afternoon and fri evening. A slight risk has been posted by SPC for the central gulf coast region for fri. Damaging straight line winds...frequent cloud to ground lightning and maybe some medium to large hail will be the main concern with any severe thunderstorms that may occur late fri and fri evening. High temps on fri will climb to the mid to upper 90s for most inland areas and the lower to middle 90s along the coast followed by lows in the mid 70s for most areas fri night or early sat morning. For sat expect less coverage of thunderstorms during the day and evening hours with the best coverage occurring over the lower half of the forecast area sat and sat night. With increased warm advection aloft from deep upper ridge building east across much of the lower part of the country...lower dewpt values at the sfc and lower sfc based instability the threat for severe weather will also be lower compared to fri with maybe a few isolated strong thunderstorms occurring mostly along the coast by late afternoon. Heat indices will also be lower generally ranging from 97 to 101 degrees f. High temps will be in the lower 90s for most inland areas and the upper 80s to near 90 along the immediate coast. Lows sat night will also be a tad cooler than previous nights falling to around 70 for most inland areas and the lower to middle 70s along the coast. LONG TERM /Sunday Through Wednesday/...For sun through wed a much drier pattern settles over the central gulf states with the bulk of the heavier precip remaining offshore through the middle part of the week. With a light onshore flow developing by afternoon each day we could see a short lived late afternoon shower of thunderstorm forming mostly along a developing seabreeze front each afternoon. Expect more sun than clouds each day with near seasonal temps...highs in the upper 80s to lower 90s...with lows in the upper 60s to lower 70s inland and the lower to middle 70s near the immediate coast. 32/ee MARINE...A surface ridge of high pressure over the northern Gulf of Mexico will gradually shift southward through Friday night as a frontal boundary approaches the Gulf Coast region from the north. The gradient between these features will allow for moderate southwesterly to westerly winds over the marine area through Friday. Wind speeds could approach cautionary levels offshore again late tonight and Friday night. The front will move offshore Saturday, and will bring light to moderate offshore flow Saturday. A surface ridge will become oriented from the Eastern Seaboard to the northern Gulf late in the weekend, allowing for increased easterly flow Saturday night through Monday. Wind speeds could approach advisory thresholds over the offshore waters late Saturday night into Sunday. /21 && .MOB Watches/Warnings/Advisories... AL...None. FL...None. MS...None.
