Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Mobile AL
1116 AM CST Sun Jan 22 2017

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

&&

.UPDATE...With northern edge of the line of thunderstorms lifting
east-northeast we have gone ahead and added Wilcox, Monroe, Butler
and Crenshaw counties to Tornado Watch #20. Updated WCN and ZFP
products have been issued. 12/DS

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 1023 AM CST Sun Jan 22 2017/

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

UPDATE...Primary broken line of storms moving east across southern
sections of forecast area with timing pretty much as expected.
Currently the broken line extends from near Andalusia to Pensacola to
Orange Beach. Several supercells have developed along and out in
advance of the line, and large hail and tornado threat continues for
locations along and east of the line. A Tornado Watch remains in
effect until 2 pm this afternoon. Expect this line to clear the
forecast area to the east by early afternoon, probably no later than
around 1 pm. Back to the west of the line, there is some scattered
convective activity, and while here the storms are not expected to be
tornadic, they can still contain gusty winds of 40 to 45 mph and some
large hail. A few of these storms may briefly become severe with
stronger and damaging winds. Overall, previous forecast is in good
shape with no major updates required. 12/DS

PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 644 AM CST Sun Jan 22 2017/

DISCUSSION...See updated information for land areas and aviation
discussion below.

UPDATE...Finally getting the final round of expected showers
and thunderstorms developing over central Mississippi as well as down
toward the mouth of the Mississippi River in Lousiana. Hi-REs models
indicate this area of storms will become better organized as it moves
east across our area this morning. Some of the storms could be
strong to severe, with damaging winds, large hail and isolated
tornadoes possible. The storms are expected to move rather quickly to
the east across the region this morning, and be east our area by noon
or shortly thereafter. While there is a slight risk of severe weather
over most of our area this morning, there is an enhanced risk
generally east of a Greenville, Evergreen, Destin line. It is in this
area where the likelihood of severe weather is greatest this morning.
Further off to the east, over southeast alabama, southwest Georgia
and parts of north Florida SPC is upgrading to a rare HIGH RISK of
severe weather. Anyone traveling east should take note as there is
increasing confidence that severethunderstorms over that area today
will be capable of producing strong, long-track tornadoes. 12/DS

AVIATION...
22/12Z issuance...Showers and storms this morning resulting in
periods of IFR conditions, but ending west to east across the region by
noon or early afternoon. Strong sfc winds out of the west developing
in the wake of a frontal passage and associated thunderstorm
activity, 15 to 20 mph with gusts to 30 mph or slightly higher this
afternoon and tonight. 12/DS

PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 516 AM CST Sun Jan 22 2017/

NEAR TERM /Now Through Sunday night/...One more round of showers
and thunderstorms is expected to move east across the forecast area
this morning in association with the passage of a cold front. The
cold front will be nearing our Mississippi counties from the west at
the beginning of the period (22/12z) and should move rapidly east
across the remainder of the forecast area this morning and then east
of the area by or shortly after noon (22/18z) as a strong shortwave
ejects east across the region. Hi-Res models have been consistent
with the development of one more broken line of showers and
thunderstorms along the front as it moves east. Radar data shows that
these showers and storms have yet to begin to develop, but they
should start to do so within the next few hours. As the shortwave
ejects east, surface meso-low will likely develop along the front as
it moves east. This combined with 850 mb jet of around 40 knots
developing just ahead of the system, could support a few strong to
severe storms along the broken line as it moves east. As SPC has
indicated, we agree that best potential for this would be along and
east of a Butler, Chatom, Mobile line. SPC has that area outlooked
with a slight risk of severe weather for this morning. East of I-65
there is an enhanced risk, but this better threat will be diminishing
quickly this morning. In these areas there could be instances of
damaging wind gusts, large hail and possibly an isolated tornado from
mid morning until around noon. Thereafter, the front moves through
and the convective and severe storm threat finally ends. Tonight,
large upper low drifts east over interior portions of the southeast,
with wrap around moisture bringing a chance of light rain, but no
thunderstorms. Highs today in the mid 60s inland to lower 70s
coastal. Lows tonight ranging from the upper 40s northwest to low/mid
50s southwest. 12/DS

SHORT TERM /Monday Through Tuesday night/...Amplified upper level
trof pivots east northeast across the Mid-Atlantic Monday with
deep layer ridging spreading westward in its wake over the
Mississippi Valley through Tuesday. At the surface, as large frontal
occlusion centered over the western Carolinas/western Virginias
Monday morning translates quickly northeast off the Northeast US
mainland on Tuesday, high pressure slips east over the local area. As
the low increases its distance, wrap around cloudiness decreases from
southwest to northeast thru the course of the day Monday. Could be a
few lingering rains over the northeast early in the day before
ending. Gusty northwest winds likely Monday. Latest gridded wind
gusts show conditions meeting wind advisory criteria continuing thru
noon Monday with frequent gusts very near or moving above 30 mph over
the entire area. A decrease in speed anticipated during the
afternoon.

Lowering thickness values on Monday results in lower daytime
highs, near 60 interior to mid 60s over the southern zones. Overnight
lows Monday night near 40 interior to mid/upper 40s coast. Sunny
skies Tuesday with highs in the mid 60s area-wide. As surface high
begins to move east of the area, night-time lows Tuesday night
reflect a moderation into the mid to upper 50s over the southwest
zones while the cooler mins, in the upper 40s, reside over the
northeast zones. /10

LONG TERM /Wednesday Through Saturday/...Next front approaches from
the west on Wednesday with chance of showers returning to the local
area. Daytime highs moderate back into the lower to mid 70s Wednesday
before frontal passage on Thursday causes another downward swing in
temperatures with highs lowering into the mid to upper 50s northwest
and lower 60s southeast of I-65. Heading into the weekend, High
pressure over the Plains brings cool days both Friday and Saturday
with highs looking to not make it out of the 50s area-wide. Low
temperatures to dip back down into the mid to upper 30s north of the
coast Friday morning and be similar to these numbers again Saturday
morning. /10

MARINE...Adverse marine conditions are expected over the coastal
waters through the remainder of the weekend and into the early part
of the upcoming week. One more round of showers and thunderstorms
will move east across the marine area this morning in association
with the passage of a cold front. Some of these storms could again
be strong to severe. An increasingly strong southerly flow and
building seas in advance of the front this morning will become a
strong west to northwest flow this afternoon and tonight. Small
Craft and Gale conditions are anticipated over the marine area today
through at least early Monday (likely persisting into late Monday
well offshore), and Small Craft Advisory and Gale Warnings are in
effect. Diminishing winds and subsiding seas are expected heading
into the middle and late part of the week. 12/DS
