.DISCUSSION...UPDATED FOR LATEST AVIATION DISCUSSION BELOW.

&&

.AVIATION...
06Z ISSUANCE...A COLD FRONT WILL STALL ACROSS THE AREA TODAY BEFORE
MOVING SOUTH FRIDAY NIGHT. AS THE FRONT MOVES INTO THE AREA...CHANCES
FOR RAIN WILL INCREASE OVERNIGHT AND THROUGH THE DAY ON FRIDAY. SOME
PATCHY FOG CAN ALSO BE EXPECTED OVERNIGHT. SEVERAL ROUNDS OF SHOWERS
AND STORMS CAN BE EXPECTED THROUGH THE DAY ON FRIDAY. /13

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 907 PM CDT THU MAR 31 2016/

DISCUSSION...SEE UPDATED INFORMATION FOR LAND AREAS BELOW.

UPDATE...THE CURRENT FORECAST REMAINS ON TRACK THIS EVENING. WE
CONTINUE TO WATCH OUR EXTREME NORTHERN ZONES WHERE A TORNADO WATCH
REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 1 AM. CONDITIONS REMAIN FAVORABLE FOR
ROTATING STORMS IN THESE AREAS. NEAR TERM MODELS CONTINUE TO INDICATE
ADDITIONAL DEVELOPMENT DURING THE OVERNIGHT HOURS AND WILL HAVE TO BE
WATCHED FOR POSSIBLE SEVERE AND FLASH FLOODING. /13

PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 634 PM CDT THU MAR 31 2016/

DISCUSSION...SEE UPDATED INFORMATION BELOW.

MESOSCALE UPDATE...THE FORECAST HAS BEEN UPDATED TO INCLUDE TORNADO
WATCH #72 FOR CHOCTAW...CLARKE AND WILCOX COUNTIES IN INTERIOR
SOUTHWEST ALABAMA UNTIL 1 AM CDT. ISOLATED SUPERCELL HAS RAPIDLY
STRENGTHENED OVER CHOCTAW COUNTY OVER THE PAST 30 MINUTES WITHIN
REGION OF ENHANCED 0-1 KM SRH VALUES OF 200-250 M2/S2 AND MLCAPE
VALUES APPROACHING 1000 J/KG. DAMAGING WINDS...LARGE HAIL AND
ISOLATED TORNADOES WILL BE POSSIBLE AS THIS STORM CROSSES E-NE INTO
NORTHERN CLARKE AND WILCOX COUNTIES OVER THE NEXT 1-2 HOURS. NO
OTHER SIGNS OF ADDITIONAL DEVELOPMENT OUTSIDE OF STORMS IN THESE
COUNTIES ATTM. STILL SOME POTENTIAL FOR ANOTHER COMPLEX OF STORMS TO
APPROACH INTERIOR SOUTHEAST MS AND SOUTHWEST AL AGAIN AROUND OR
SHORTLY AFTER MIDNIGHT.
/21

AVIATION...
00Z ISSUANCE...VCTS AND VCSH EXPECTED THROUGH THE EVENING AT ALL
TERMINAL SITES. CEILINGS LOWER ALONG WITH INCREASING CHANCES FOR
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS INCREASE AFTER MIDNIGHT AND CONTINUE
THROUGH MUCH OF FRIDAY AS A COLD FRONT STALLS ACROSS THE AREA.
SEVERAL ROUNDS OF OF SHOWERS AND STORMS WILL MOVE ALONG THE
STALLED BOUNDARY THROUGH THE DAY ON FRIDAY. /13

PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 404 PM CDT THU MAR 31 2016/

NEAR TERM /NOW THROUGH FRIDAY/...INITIAL IMPULSE RESPONSIBLE FOR
A LONG LIVED SUPERCELL THAT TRANSLATED FROM PERRY COUNTY MS TO
COVINGTON COUNTY AL IS SHIFTING EAST OF THE FORECAST AREA WITH WATER
VAPOR IMAGERY SHOWING A DRIER MID LEVEL AIRMASS IN PLACE IN THE WAKE
OF THIS FEATURE. STILL A FEW SHOWERS LINGERING AROUND PORTIONS OF
SOUTH CENTRAL AL AND THE NORTHWEST FL PANHANDLE AS OF 3 PM CST. NEXT
ADDITIONAL UPSTREAM EMBEDDED MID LEVEL SHORTWAVE IMPULSES ARE
RESULTING IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF NEW CONVECTION ACROSS PORTIONS OF
SOUTHEAST LA INTO SOUTH CENTRAL MS IN THE WARM SECTOR AHEAD OF A
SURFACE COLD FRONT STRETCHING FROM EAST TX THROUGH THE UPPER
MIDWESTERN STATES THIS AFTERNOON. AREA SURFACE OBSERVATIONS LOCALLY
SHOW A WARM AND VERY MOIST SOUTHERLY FLOW PATTERN IN PLACE ACROSS
THE CENTRAL GULF COAST REGION EARLY THIS AFTERNOON...WITH
TEMPERATURES IN THE LOWER TO MID 70S ACROSS MUCH OF THE REGION
[UPPER 70S IN A FEW SPOTS] AND SURFACE DEWPOINTS IN THE UPPER 60S TO
LOWER 70S. MLCAPE VALUES ARE GENERALLY RANGING BETWEEN 500-1000 J/KG
ACROSS MUCH OF THE AREA...AND LOCALLY JUST OVER 1000 J/KG NEAR THE
IMMEDIATE COAST IN THE HIGHER DEWPOINT AIRMASS. DEEP LAYER SHEAR
VALUES OF 40-50 KNOTS AREA ALSO STILL IN PLACE ACROSS THE REGION.

FOR THE NEAR TERM FORECAST...CONVECTION SHOULD BE SCATTERED IN
NATURE ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA THROUGH THIS EVENING...MOSTLY IN THE
FORM OF SHOWERS...THOUGH WE WILL BE WATCHING FOR THE POSSIBILITY OF
A FEW STRONGER SHOWERS/STORMS DEVELOPING INTO SOUTHEAST MS AND
INTERIOR SOUTHWEST AL LATE THIS AFTERNOON INTO EARLY THIS EVENING
WHERE THE ATMOSPHERE MAY FURTHER DESTABILIZE AHEAD OF APPROACHING
EMBEDDED SHORTWAVE IMPULSES. WILL KEEP RAIN/STORM PROBABILITIES
MOSTLY IN THE 40-50 PERCENT RANGE. THE HRRR ALSO HINTS THAT A
CONVECTIVE COMPLEX OF STORMS MAY BECOME ORGANIZED OVER CENTRAL
PORTIONS OF MS BY THIS EVENING. WHILE MUCH OF THIS CONVECTION MAY
REMAIN CONFINED TO THE NORTHWEST OF OUR AREA THIS EVENING...STORMS
MAY DEVELOP SOUTHWARD INTO OUR INTERIOR SOUTHEAST MS/SOUTHWEST AL
COUNTIES LATE IN THE EVENING OR AROUND MIDNIGHT. FOR THAT REASON
WILL HAVE POPS IN THE LIKELY CATEGORY IN OUR FAR NORTHWESTERN
ZONES...WHICH MATCHES WELL WITH THOUGHTS FROM NEIGHBORING OFFICES.
CONVECTION SHOULD CONTINUE TO DEVELOP SOUTHEASTWARD ACROSS THE
REMAINDER OF THE FORECAST AREA AFTER MIDNIGHT INTO THE EARLY MORNING
HOURS FRIDAY. THERE WILL BE PLENTY OF DEEP LAYER SHEAR IN PLACE
OVERNIGHT...WITH 0-6 KM VALUES 50-60 KNOTS OVER THE INTERIOR AFTER
MIDNIGHT...ALONG WITH CONTINUED INSTABILITY [MLCAPE VALUES OF 1000-
1500 J/KG]...AND STEEPENING MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES [700-500 MB VALUES
APPROACHING 7-8 C/KM OVER THE INTERIOR].  THUS...A FEW SEVERE
THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE OVERNIGHT AS STORMS DEVELOP
SOUTHEASTWARD. PRIMARY HAZARDS SHOULD BE LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING
WINDS...THOUGH AN ISOLATED TORNADO ALSO CANNOT BE RULED OUT GIVEN
LOCALIZED 0-3 KM SRH VALUES BETWEEN 200-300 M2/S2.

THE SEVERE THREAT MAY BECOME MORE ISOLATED AFTER FRIDAY MORNING...
WITH IMPACTS FOCUSING MORE ON A HEAVY RAIN/FLASH FLOODING THREAT
HEADING INTO FRIDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING. PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES
ARE FORECAST TO RISE TO THE 1.75 TO 2 INCH RANGE ESPECIALLY ALONG
AND EAST OF I-65 AND CLOSE TO THE COAST BY LATE FRIDAY AFTERNOON.
SURFACE COLD FRONT WILL SLOWLY APPROACH THE REGION...WHILE SHORTWAVE
IMPULSES TRANSLATING OVER THE FRONTAL ZONE RESULT IN NUMEROUS TO
WIDESPREAD SHOWERS AND STORMS ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA. OUR LATEST
FORECAST CONTINUES TO TREND TO 2-4 INCH RAINFALL TOTALS POSSIBLE
ACROSS MUCH OF THE REGION FRIDAY INTO FRIDAY EVENING WITH ISOLATED
TOTALS OF 6-8 INCHES POSSIBLE. WE WILL CONTINUE THE FLASH FLOOD
WATCH THROUGH LATE FRIDAY NIGHT. GIVEN THE ANOMALOUSLY HIGH
PRECIPITABLE WATER AIRMASS...WE MAY HAVE TO ADJUST RAINFALL AMOUNTS
UPWARD SLIGHTLY NEAR THE COAST WITH LATER FORECASTS...SOMETHING WE
WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR. LOWS TONIGHT MOSTLY IN THE UPPER 60S TO
AROUND 70...HIGHS FRIDAY SHOULD ONLY WARM INTO THE LOWER TO MID 70S.
/21

SHORT TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT/...HEAVY RAIN IS STILL
EXPECTED ACROSS LOWER AND EASTERN PARTS OF THE FORECAST AREA MOSTLY FRI
EVENING AHEAD AND ALONG A COLD FRONT THAT MOVES SLOWLY SOUTH TOWARDS
THE COAST LATE FRI AND FRI EVENING. THE HEAVIEST RAIN WILL BE
GENERALLY ALONG AND SOUTHEAST OF A LINE STRETCHING FROM MOBILE TO
GREENVILLE IN AL INCLUDING MOST AREAS IN THE WESTERN FL PANHANDLE.
RAINFALL TOTALS FROM 2 TO 4 INCHES LOCALLY WILL STILL BE POSSIBLE
MOSTLY DURING THE EVENING HOURS. AT THIS TIME A FLASH FLOOD WATCH
REMAINS IN EFFECT FOR ALL AREAS IN THE FORECAST AREA THROUGH FRI
EVENING BUT COULD BE TRIMMED BACK TO THE WEST AND NORTH POSSIBLY BY
EARLY FRI EVENING. AS FOR THE THREAT FOR SEVERE WEATHER CONDITIONS
LESSEN THROUGHOUT THE DAY ON FRI CONTINUING INTO FRI NIGHT AS THE
BOUNDARY LAYER BECOMES MORE SATURATED AND INSTABILITY VALUES
DECREASE. BY SUNRISE ON SAT SKIES WILL BEGIN TO CLEAR GENERALLY FROM
WEST TO EAST LEADING TO MORE SUN THEN CLOUDS LATER IN THE DAY. BY SAT
NIGHT SKIES REMAIN MOSTLY CLEAR WITH UNSEASONABLY COOL TEMPS RANGING
FROM THE MIDDLE 40S FOR MOST INLAND AREAS AND THE UPPER 40S TO NEAR
50 CLOSER TO THE COAST. HIGHS BOTH SAT AND SUN WILL BE IN THE LOWER
70S WITH A BRISK NORTHERLY WIND FLOW ON SAT CONTINUING THROUGH EARLY
SUN. NORTHERLY WINDS DIMINISH LATER IN THE DAY ON SUN FOLLOWED BY A
LIGHT ONSHORE FLOW SETTING UP LATE SUN AFTERNOON.

LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...BY EARLY MON MAIN UPPER TROF
AXIS EVENTUALLY MOVES EAST OF THE REGION WITH A WEAK UPPER RIDGE
MOVING ACROSS THE REGION LATE MON THROUGH TUE...FOLLOWED BY ANOTHER
DEEPENING TROF MOVING DOWN FROM THE CENTRAL CANADA AND ACROSS THE MS
RIVER VALLEY WED THROUGH THU. RAIN CHANCES RETURN TO THE FORECAST
AREA BY LATE WED CONTINUING THROUGH THU EVENING. THIS NEXT UPPER
SYSTEM CONTINUES TO DIG AND MOVES OFF TO THE EAST BY EARLY FRI
MORNING. BETTER CLOUDS ARE NOTED BY EARLY WED CONTINUING THROUGH
THU EVENING. AS FOR TEMPS DAYTIME HIGHS WILL BE NEAR SEASONAL
AVERAGES...GENERALLY IN THE MID 70S MON THROUGH THU...WITH LOWS BELOW
AVERAGE EARLY MON THROUGH TUE NIGHT...INCREASING TO NEAR OR SLIGHTLY
BELOW AVERAGE WED NIGHT INTO EARLY THU. LOWS EARLY MON WILL BE IN THE
MID 40S INLAND AND THE LOWER 50S NEAR THE COAST...THEN IN THE UPPER
40S TO LOWER 50S BOTH MON AND TUE NIGHTS. 32/EE

MARINE...AREA MARINE OBSERVATIONS INDICATE SOUTHERLY WINDS HAVE
DECREASED THIS AFTERNOON AND WE CANCELLED THE SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY
THAT WAS PREVIOUSLY IN EFFECT. A LIGHT TO MODERATE ONSHORE FLOW
CONTINUES THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT AHEAD OF AN APPROACHING COLD FRONT.
THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY IS EXPECTED TO PUSH OFFSHORE LATE FRIDAY NIGHT
WITH AN INCREASING OFFSHORE FLOW SETTING UP IN IT WAKE THROUGH
SATURDAY. SEVERAL ROUNDS OF SHOWERS AND STORMS WILL PASS ACROSS THE
THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT. WINDS...WAVES AND SEAS WILL BE LOCALLY HIGHER
NEAR ANY OF THE STRONGER MARINE STORMS. THE STRONGEST STORMS WILL
LIKELY CONTAIN FREQUENT LIGHTNING AND RAPID REDUCTIONS TO VISIBILITY
IN HEAVY RAINS. HIGH PRESSURE EXPANDS EASTWARD ACROSS THE GULF COAST
BY LATE IN THE WEEKEND WITH WINDS DECREASING AND SEAS TRENDING LOWER.
