Area Forecast Discussion...UPDATED
National Weather Service Mobile AL
1141 AM CST Wed Dec 28 2016

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

&&

.AVIATION...
18Z issuance...Low stratus with cig bases projected at IFR
categories thru the remainder of the afternoon. light and variable
winds early, become more south to southwest in direction thru the
afternoon. A few showers. Will take a persistence approach going into
tonight with areas of BR/FG redeveloping, causing restrictions to
vsby to lower to LIFR/VLIFR categories. /10

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 1048 AM CST Wed Dec 28 2016/

DISCUSSION...See updated information for land and marine areas below.

UPDATE...Upper air analysis shows a flat west to east (zonal) flow
in the geo-potential height aloft over the deep south. Oriented
parallel to the flow aloft is a quasi-stationary frontal boundary
draped from northern Louisiana to just north of the I-10 corridor
over the local area into south central Georgia. Latest analysis of
precipitable water plots show pwats ranging from 1.3 to 1.5 inches on
average over the forecast area. From a climate perspective, this is
160 to 190% of normal for the latter end of December. Although
extensive cloud cover exists along the frontal zone, latest
observations indicate that dense morning fog has been mixing out and
visibilities improving. Thus, the dense fog advisories have been
allowed to expire at 10 AM and have removed headlines from late
morning zone update. Fog likely to redevelop northward again tonight
and generally be confined to the southern third of counties. This is
carried in latest forecast and will leave unchanged. With the
boundary nearby, will maintain a mention of isolated to lower end
scattered showers thru the remainder of the day as subtle mid level
impulses embedded in the flow aloft pass eastward across the region.
Latest forecast soundings show weak mid level instability which could
bring a rumble of thunder here and there, but the potential appears
too limited to mention in the zones at this time.

Daytime highs in the mid 70s appears on track, and as the past
couple days can attest, these numbers will come in unseasonably warm
being nearly 15 degrees above climo. Cold frontal passage on
Thursday will soon change that to close out the week. /10

MARINE...Patches of fog will be maintained today and will likely
redevelop northward and thicken overnight. Frontal passage on
Thursday scours out the fog but brings a strengthening offshore flow
and building sea states. These conditions will likely require the
issuance of small craft advisories on the 4 pm package. /10

PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 605 AM CST Wed Dec 28 2016/

DISCUSSION...Updated for latest aviation discussion below.

AVIATION...
12Z issuance...Areas of fog will persist along the northern gulf
coast region through 19z. VLIFR visibility (~1/4SM) and LIFR ceiling
(~300 feet) conditions at KMOB, LIFR to IFR visibility (1/2SM to
1SM) and LIFR ceiling (~300 feet) at KBFM, and IRF to MVFR visibility
(~4SM) and ceiling (400 to 800 feet) at KPNS will slowly improve as
the fog gradually dissipates. All TAF sites should return to VFR
visibility conditions by 19z, but ceilings will likley only improve
to IFR or MVFR (700 to 1500 feet) criteria by early to mid
afternoon. Additional fog is likely to form along the northern gulf
coast region again tonight, with LIFR to IFR visibility and ceiling
conditions impacting all the TAF sites. /22

PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 429 AM CST Wed Dec 28 2016/

NEAR TERM /Now Through Wednesday night/...A surface boundary across
the forecast area will move northward today as surface high pressure
across the southeastern conus shifts southeast. A strong cold front
exiting the northern plains will then quickly approach the region
from the northwest tonight. Nearly zonal flow aloft will persist
with upper high pressure remaining over the southern Gulf of Mexico.
Areas of dense fog mainly along and east of I-65 will persist
through 10 am this morning before dissipating, and a Dense Fog
Advisory has been issued for much of the area. Patchy fog is
expected further to the west. Isolated to low end scattered showers
can be expected mainly along the I-10 corridor this morning, and
then advance northward this afternoon as the warm front lifts north.
Rain chances will then increase from north to south through tonight
ahead of the advancing cold front.

High temperatures today will be 13 to 16 degrees above normal,
ranging from 73 to 77 degrees. Low temperatures tonight will range
from 56 to 61 degrees west I-65, and from 61 to 65 degrees to the
east. /22

SHORT TERM /Thursday Through Friday night/...An upper level
longwave trough deepens over the Appalachians and the mid Atlantic
coast, resulting in mid and upper level flow over the central Gulf
states transitioning from zonal to more northwesterly. As this
occurs, the surface cold front approaching from the northwest
quickly pushes through the forecast area, with model guidance
continuing to suggest the front being well offshore by midday. Ahead
of this front, ample pooling of moisture (PWATS ~1.50") coupled with
decent frontal forcing and modest (albeit elevated) instability will
result in continued shower activity, and perhaps even a few rumbles
of thunder, early Thursday. Shower chances will decrease from north
to south through the day as skies begin to clear in the wake of the
front. Northerly flow ushers in a much cooler and drier airmass
Thursday night through the remainder of the short term.

High temperatures Thursday will depend largely on the timing of
the front, with highs likely occurring just prior to frontal passage
for any given location (earlier in the day the farther north you
go). Currently anticipating low 60's inland to upper 60's along
the coast. Temperatures will then cool through the day in the wake
of the front as cold air advection likely dominates any post-
frontal solar heating. Lows Thursday and Friday nights will be much
cooler than the past week, with temps dipping into the low to mid
30's Thursday night and mid to upper 30's Friday night. Friday's
high temps will likewise be a bit cooler, only reaching mid to upper
50's areawide. /49

LONG TERM /Saturday Through Tuesday/...Zonal flow returns aloft
Saturday, with high pressure over the western Atlantic once again
establishing southerly flow and low-level moisture advection across
the central Gulf coast. Another upper-level trough begins to deepen
over the western and central CONUS Saturday night, shifting flow to
more southwesterly in the process. With mid- and upper-level
southwesterly winds phasing well with the southerly low-level winds,
we begin to moisten the deep-layer column and subsequently return
shower and thunderstorm activity to the area beginning Saturday and
lasting through the early part of next week. The return of southerly
low-level winds also leads to warming temperatures, with afternoon
highs on Saturday in the upper 50's to low 60's becoming low to mid
70's Sunday through early next week. Lows will likewise trend warmer,
with mid to upper 50's expected across the area Saturday night and
upper 50's to low 60's Sunday/Monday nights. /49

MARINE...A light to moderate southwesterly wind flow will continue
over the marine area through tonight while a strong cold front
approaches the region from the northwest. Areas of dense sea fog
will continue over the near shore waters of Alabama and Northwest
Florida until 10 am this morning, and likley persist across Mobile
Bay and the Mississippi Sound until 8 am Thursday. The dense fog may
expand across the near shore waters again tonight. The cold front
will move through the marine area on Thursday with a strong offshore
flow and building seas developing in the wake of the front through
early Friday. Southerly flow quickly returns by Saturday. /22
