Area forecast discussion, Apr 3, 9:39 AM CDT, 4 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion...UPDATED
National Weather Service Mobile AL
939 AM CDT Mon Apr 3 2017
.DISCUSSION...See updated information for land and marine areas below.
&&
.UPDATE...Tornado watch 114 for Mobile and Baldwin counties
including the adjacent gulf waters out to 20 nm has been extended
until 11 AM CDT this morning. Latest radar trends to the south
and west support this reasoning.
Tornado watch 116 for all counties in Northwest Florida and
parts of south central Alabama including the adjacent gulf waters
out to 60 nm continues through 1 PM CDT this morning. 32/ee
&&
.MARINE...A strong onshore flow will continue over the marine
area through this afternoon. Numerous thunderstorms are expected
to move across the marine area through this afternoon. Wind gusts
to 35 knots or higher...isolated cases of large hail and
tornadoes can be expected with some of the stronger thunderstorms
through this afternoon.
Tornado watch 114 for the Alabama coastal waters has been
extended until 11 AM CDT this morning.
Tornado watch 116 for the Northwest Florida coastal waters is in
effect until 1 pm CDT this afternoon. 32/ee
&&
.PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 819 AM CDT Mon Apr 3 2017/
DISCUSSION...See updated information for land areas below.
UPDATE...With recent radar trends, we have decided to go ahead
and issue a Flash Flood Watch for portions of our forecast area.
Primary area of concern is for the coastal counties of Alabama and
the western Florida panhandle, and for interior south central
Alabama counties of Escambia, Conecuh and Covington. Rainfall
totals of 2 to 4 inches, locally higher in some localized areas.
This will produce areas of flash flooding, especially in urban
areas. 12/DS
PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 730 AM CDT Mon Apr 3 2017/
DISCUSSION...See updated information for land areas and aviation
discussion below.
UPDATE...TOR Watch #114 continues for western half of forecast
area until 9 AM, TOR Watch #116 has just been issued for the
eastern half of our forecast area until 1 PM this afternoon. The
primary severe threat will damaging straight line winds along the
line, but a few tornadoes are possible along the line as well.
Later this morning and into the early afternoon, instabilities may
increase enough in advance of the line that a few tornadic storms
out ahead of the main convection may also develop. Primary area of
interest with regard to the severe weather threat will be over the
coastal counties and into interior south central Alabama east of
I-65, with less of a threat elsewhere.
The northern end of the line has laid out an outflow boundary and
is now oriented more east-west oriented while the southern half
continues moving east, approaching Mobile county. This could
result in a period very heavy rainfall and localized flooding this
morning in that area. The line should still get a pushed off to
the east and accelerate again a little later this morning as a
upper jet streak rounds the base of the upper trof and this
thinking has thus far kept us from issuing a Flash Flood Watch.
We will have continue to monitor for FFA potential.
AVIATION...
12Z issuance...MVFR ceilings over most of the region this morning,
becoming IFR to LIFR with line of thunderstorms moving east across
the area. Line of showers and storms has slowed somewhat over the
past hour, but should begin moving off to the east later this
morning and be east of the entire forecast area by late this
afternoon. Strong southerly surface winds in advance of the front,
15 to 20 knots with higher gusts. Ceilings increasing above MVFR
this evening, then becoming VFR after 04/03z.
PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 440 AM CDT Mon Apr 3 2017/
Severe Weather Risk Shifts East over the Area Today...
NEAR TERM /Now Through Monday night/...Ongoing line of strong to severe
thunderstorms just to the west of our forecast area this morning
moving east. These storms have a history of producing damaging winds
and large hail. Expect this main line of storms to move east across
our forecast area today, crossing southeast Mississippi zones and
into extreme southwest Alabama through 8 AM, across central interior
portions of southwest Alabama between 8 AM and Noon, and then east
of I-65 in Alabama and across the western Florida panhandle from
Noon through around 4 PM. This timing is slightly faster than our
previous forecast package. The storms have been slow to cross
Louisiana and western Mississippi over the past 12-18 hours, but
mid/upper level trof becomes negatively tilted today and fast,
diffluent flow aloft will allow the primary line of storms to move
more rapidly across our area. The Storm Prediction Center has
indicated that the severe threat has lessened slightly, but there is
still an ENHANCED RISK, and severe weather parameters still indicate
that there is at least the potential for isolated significant severe
weather events over portions of our forecast area. This is
especially true closer to the coast where HRRR and EURO both
indicate MLCAPE of 1200-1400 J/KG and 0-1KM SRH 200-300 J/KG. In
addition, Bulk Shear axis across much of the area today forecast
to be in the 40-60 KT range. Damaging wind in excess of 60 MPH,
Large Hail, and isolated tornadoes (some potentially strong) are
all possible. The activity should be east of our forecast area by
sunset, with no pcpn expected overnight. Categorical PoPs today,
ending by late afternoon. Strong southerly flow in advance of the
system thus maintained the Wind Advisory. Fairly rapid eastward
movement should preclude need for Flash Flood Watch, although some
locally heavy rainfall on the order of 2-3 inches possible.
Coastal Flood Advisory, Heavy Surf Advisory and High Risk of Rip
Currents all continue as well. Highs today in the upper 70s and
lower 80s. Lows tonight in the mid 50s northwest ranging to
low/mid 60s southeast and coastal areas. 12/DS
SHORT TERM /Tuesday Through Wednesday night/...Next in a series
of upper level storm systems begins to dig into the southern Plains
Tuesday. This causes the high level flow to amplify sharply once
again over the Lower MS River Valley as the Plains storm ejects
east, bringing another potentially active southwest flow aloft to
the central Gulf coast going into Tuesday night and Wednesday.
With approaching dynamics, deep layer Gulf moisture is tapped,
modifying quickly and spreading northward. Cold front moves east,
approaching the Lower MS River Valley Wednesday morning. Frontal
forcing, combined with deep layer ascent operating on adequate
layer moisture brings a quick return to shower and storm chances
late Tuesday night into Wednesday. Some of the storms could become
strong to locally severe. Rain chances lower substantially by
Wednesday night due to frontal passage. High temperatures Tuesday
in the mid 80s interior to upper 70s coast, range from the upper
70s to lower 80s areawide on Wednesday. Overnight lows cool into
the upper 40s to lower 50s interior and mid to upper 50s coast
Wednesday night resulting from cool advection following in the
wake of frontal passage. /10
LONG TERM /Thursday Through Sunday/...Look to transition to a
more quiet weather pattern as surface high pressure expands
eastward out of the Plains and western Gulf Thursday to across
the central Gulf Saturday. Drier and cooler conditions expected to
close out the week with highs on Thursday and Friday trending
closer to seasonal values, upper 60s to lower 70s. Much cooler
nights with lows dipping down into the 40s generally north of I-10
both Thursday and Friday night. Temperatures modify late in the
weekend as high pressure moves east of the local area. /10
MARINE...A cold front and accompanying pre-frontal squall line
moves east across the marine area today, with a strong onshore flow
and high seas in advance. Winds become briefly westerly in the wake
of the front late today and this evening. A Small Craft Advisory
continues through this evening. Onshore flow returns by Tuesday, but
lighter, then increases again on Wednesday with yet another weather
system moving east across the marine area. Strong offshore flow
expected by Wednesday night continuing through late week. 12/DS

Damaging wind gusts, large hail, and tornadoes are possible. A few strong tornadoes could be possible. Very heavy rainfall will be likely as the line of storms moves east. For now, the thinking is the line will be moving east quickly enough to not warrant a Flash Flood Watch, although there is a an Elevated Threat for isolated flash flooding and minor flooding along area rivers and creeks today. We will montitor for the need of a Flash Flood Watch this morning. A Wind Advisory is in effect today and early this evening for the entire area, but strongest winds will likely be over the coastal counties. A Coastal Flood Advisory is in effect for this afternoon and evening for the northwest Florida panhandle and Alabama beaches. Minor flooding expected along the coast as tides of 1 to 2 feet above normal are expected.
