Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Mobile AL
440 PM CDT WED AUG 31 2016

.NEAR TERM /Now Through Thursday/...Tropical Storm Hermine is
forecast to move from the south central Gulf northeastward towards
the Big Bend area of Florida through Thursday. The tropical system
will be moving into an upper weakness over the extreme southeast
states, with the weakness beginning to be absorbed on Thursday by an
amplifying longwave trof over the eastern states. The deep layer
northeasterly flow over the area becomes more easterly late tonight
into Thursday morning, then returns to a northeasterly direction
later on Thursday. While subsidence prevails over most of the
forecast area tonight, isolated showers will be possible near shore,
with slightly better coverage over the coast of the western Florida
panhandle. Coverage of showers/storms associated with Hermine will
increase east of I-65 during the day on Thursday with scattered to
possibly numerous showers/storms, while coverage will be isolated
west of I-65. A Coastal Flood Advisory continues through the period
along with a High Risk of Rip Currents as long period swell will
affect the coast, and have also issued a Heavy Surf Advisory. Winds
may become breezy near the coast on Thursday, especially over the
western Florida panhandle. Lows tonight will range from the lower
70s inland to the mid/upper 70s near the coast. Highs on Thursday
will range from the upper 80s near the western Florida coast to the
lower/ mid 90s for much of the remainder of the area. /29

.SHORT TERM /Thursday night Through Saturday night/...Caught up in
the base of a long wave upper level trough, Tropical Storm Hermine
is forecast by the National Hurricane Center to lift up across the
Florida Big Bend Thu night near Apalachicola, then up across
southern GA on Fri. Main impacts to the local area continue to be
confined to the marine area and beaches. Northward propagating, long
period swell will result in high surf of 5 to 7 feet and a high risk
of potentially deadly rip currents. Given the north to northeast
flow around Hermine's western periphery as it passes to the east and
its accompanying lower pressure, minor coastal flooding of 1 to 2
feet above ground level is possible in typical, lower lying areas
mostly along the coast that are facing north to northeast on area
bays and sounds. Lower pressure will also contribute to tidal rises.
Coastal flood advisories remain in effect thru Fri evening and a
high risk of rip currents likely to linger into early in the weekend.

Will have a better potential of measurable rains along and east of a
line from Andalusia to Gulf Shores Thu night to account for the
possibility of rain bands sliding across on the tropical cyclone's
northwest and western periphery. A frontal boundary approaching the
central Gulf coast on Friday interacts with lingering moisture to
aid in the development of isolated to scattered storms.

.LONG TERM /Sunday Through Wednesday/...The official NHC forecast
takes Tropical Storm Hermine northeast across the Carolinas thru
Sat. The frontal boundary lingers across the local area on Sat,
maintaining potential for scattered showers and storms. Storm
coverage lower early next week with isolated showers and storms by
Tue and Wed with deep layer ridge building over the southeast.
Temperatures will generally be near to slightly above climatological
normals. /10

&&

.MARINE...Tropical Storm Hermine over the south central Gulf will
head northeastward towards the Florida Big Bend area through
Thursday evening, then continue away from the marine area through
Friday.  Moderate easterly winds, stronger well offshore, will
increase through Thursday then become more northerly Thursday night.
A Hurricane Watch/Tropical Storm Warning is now in effect for
Choctawhatchee Bay and a Tropical Storm Warning for the western
Florida coastal waters out 60 nm. A small craft advisory is in
effect for the Alabama waters out 60 nm through 7 am Friday. Please
refer to the latest advisories from the NHC regarding Tropical Storm
Hermine.
