Area Forecast Discussion...UPDATED
National Weather Service Mobile AL
1142 PM CST Thu Dec 1 2016

.DISCUSSION...Updated for latest aviation discussion below.

&&

.AVIATION...
06Z issuance...Satellite shows patches of mid and high level clouds
spreading eastward across the Gulf coast out of SE Texas. A mix of
sun and higher based clouds continue into the day Friday. No impacts
to aviation operations with VFR cigs and vsby forecast next 24 hrs.
Light north winds tonight become northeast around 10 knots on Friday
as high pressure moves east across the Tennessee River Valley. /22

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 324 PM CST Thu Dec 1 2016/

NEAR TERM /Now Through Friday/...Visible satellite imagery shows
clear skies in place across the entire forecast area this afternoon
underneath a deep dry southwest flow pattern aloft. Cool surface
high pressure continues to build eastward across the Lower
Mississippi Valley into the central Gulf Coast region, allowing for
northerly surface flow over our area and mid-afternoon temperatures
ranging from around 60 to the lower 60s over the interior to the mid
to upper 60s near the coast.

Little change was made to the ongoing forecast through the next 24
hours. A dry west to southwest mid level flow pattern will prevail
across the region through Friday afternoon. Clear skies should
continue into this evening, before a modest increase in high cloud
cover moves into the area late tonight into Friday. Lows tonight
will be a little cooler, with readings forecast to range in the
lower to mid 30s over interior areas and around 40 to the mid 40s
near the coast. Highs Friday should range from the lower to mid 60s
over most areas, except for upper 60s near the coast. /21

SHORT TERM /Friday night Through Sunday night/...Another
active period which begins with a developing low level return
flow ahead of the next approaching system. It will become cloudy
almost all zones by sunrise Saturday, and it further moistens through
a deep layer from that point through the heart of the weekend. By
Saturday morning, a well-defined surface warm front lurks just
offshore and the first round of synoptic lift progresses mainly over
the northwestern portion of the forecast area during the day. Rain
should onset west of the I-65 corridor by noon and spreads eastward
during the day time, but mainly affecting areas north of highway 84.
The warm front kind of 'locks into place' on Saturday due the
evaporative cooling effect of the rainfall to its north. It awaits
the formation of a first in a series of low-level jets that will help
to scour out the cold sector north of the warm front. It slowly
advances inland some on Saturday night, but not much. Sunday will be
cloudy with more rain developing as the warm front will be focused on
our area along with adiabatic upward vertical motion, sufficient
moisture in an airmass that will already be near saturation. Could
see the max temperatures on Sunday range from the upper 50s over far
interior to the lower 70s along the coast. One interesting thing,
aloft, we remain under ridging this period, as the inflection point
remains upstream, so any deeper layer forcing will be kinematic in
nature. At this point, am not introducing thunder until after this
period because instability looks like it just may make it to coastal
zones later in the period, and then being very limited (i.e., <250
J/kg) at that. Surface warm front lifts north of area overnight. /23
JMM

LONG TERM /Monday Through Thursday/...What a ride! Very warm at the
beginning and then trending much colder by the end of the period. On
Monday, a pronounced negative-tilt shortwave (associated with
surface cyclogenesis) kicks out of S TX during the day. As such, far
western zones come under influence of differential divergence (for
upward forcing). A low-level jet forms and thermodynamic
instability increases in the presence of respectable deep-layer
vertical wind shear. The question, as usual, will be how much
instability do we get as the surface low lifts northeastward from E
TX and into the ARKLATEX by day's end? The warm sector evolution will
surely have to be closely monitored for all modes of deep convection,
some possibly severe (especially SE MS and west of I-65 Corridor in
southwestern Alabama). A main surface low lifts further to the N,
cold front is then whipped eastward through our area late Monday
evening (or early Tue morning). This would end any severe weather
threat with its passage from the west. It is possible our far eastern
areas (i.e.,Greenville south to Destin) may be under the gun until
the very early morning hours of Tuesday. Details to be fine-tuned
later.

For the remainder of Tuesday night, synoptic-scale dry slot wraps
into area from the southwest overnight and the drying begins. Given
the pattern, would expect post-frontal clouds on Tuesday. A re-
enforcing shot of cold air will move in late Wednesday and some
clouds will certainly accompany the second cold front. Much dryer
and colder air filters in for Thursday and skies should be mostly
clear (depending on thickening high cirrus). /23 jmm

MARINE...A moderate offshore flow continues in the wake of the cold
front through Friday. Winds strengthen and seas build Friday night
to small craft advisory levels over the Gulf Waters. Winds remain
strong and then become more easterly by Saturday with seas building
to 6 to 8 feet. A strong onshore flow develops by Sunday. Winds and
seas significantly increase thereafter into the first part of the
week. /23 JMM
