Area Forecast Discussion...UPDATED
National Weather Service Mobile AL
1147 AM CDT Wed Mar 22 2017

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

&&

.UPDATE...Current package updated to clean up fog wording. Have
used the opportunity to bump temps up a couple of degrees over
areas along and south of Highway 84, with temps bumping forecasted
maximum well before the hottest part of the day. Am expecting a
few record to be tied or surpassed before the day ends.

/16

&&

.AVIATION...
18Z issuance...General VFR conditions expected through the
forecast. Overnight fog development may drop VISBYS to MVFR levels
in some localities, but at this point, am not anticipating any
impact to operations.

/16

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 632 AM CDT Wed Mar 22 2017/

DISCUSSION...Updated for latest aviation discussion below.

AVIATION...
12Z issuance...MVFR to IFR conditions in patchy fog this morning
will become VFR by mid morning. VFR conditions will prevail
through the remainder of the period. /13

PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 507 AM CDT Wed Mar 22 2017/

NEAR TERM /Now Through Wednesday night/...Patchy dense fog can
be expected this morning especially across southern portions of
the area. Meanwhile, a weak front/trough will move through the
area this afternoon. Very dry air above the surface along with the
lack of significant forcing will keep conditions dry across the
area with only some clouds expected. Well above normal temps will
continue today with highs in the low to mid 80s in most areas with
a few spots seeing upper 80s. We will again be near record levels
today. The record high today is 85 in both Mobile and Pensacola.
Lows tonight will fall into the mid and upper 50s inland to low
60s along the coast. Patchy fog can be expected again tonight. /13

SHORT TERM /Thursday Through Friday night/...An upper level ridge
of high pressure will build eastward from the western Gulf of
Mexico to the Lower Mississippi Valley and central Gulf Coast
region Thursday into Thursday night. Meager moisture will move
southeastward across eastern portions of the forecast area on the
eastern periphery of this building feature Thursday. While an
isolated shower cannot be entirely ruled out over eastern areas,
the overall coverage should be well below mentionable levels and
will maintain a dry forecast over the region. Otherwise, a surface
ridge of high pressure will continue to build over the Mid-
Atlantic states and Eastern Seaboard, and its associated ridge
axis will nose southwestward across our forecast area Thursday
into Thursday night. A mean easterly to southeasterly surface flow
will subsequently develop across our area Thursday, and we expect
cooler temperatures in the lower to mid 70s generally along and
east of I-65, with warmer readings in the upper 70s to lower 80s
farther west over the rest of southwest AL and southeast MS. Lows
Thursday night will range from the mid to upper 50s over interior
areas to the lower 60s near the coast.

The upper level ridge axis will continue to build eastward across
the Gulf of Mexico and into the southeastern U.S. Friday, while
southwesterly flow aloft begins to spread across the Mississippi
Valley in advance of a deep upper level trough moving from the
southern Rocky Mountains through the southern High Plains. A
southeasterly surface flow also continues over our area Friday,
perhaps becoming a breezy in the afternoon as the MSLP gradient
tightens between the eastward advancing surface ridge and the
deepening surface low over the TX Panhandle/northern OK/southern
KS vicinity. Weak isentropic ascent within developing southwest
flow aloft could assist in the development of a few showers over
southeast MS and adjacent far southwest AL by Friday afternoon,
but rainfall should be sporadic/very light. Highs Friday afternoon
look to range from the mid to upper 70s inland, with lower 70s
along the beaches.

An upper level low will continue to advance eastward across OK/KS
Friday night, while the associated surface cold front pushes
eastward across eastern OK/TX. Large scale ascent in advance of
these features will aid in the organization of a linear complex of
showers and thunderstorms that will be advancing toward the
Mississippi Valley through late Friday night. While the bulk of
this convection remains well to our west Friday night, a few
showers could develop over western portions of the CWA late and
will leave low POPs in the forecast mainly after midnight. Lows
Friday night are forecast to range from the upper 50s to lower
60s. /21

LONG TERM /Saturday Through Tuesday/...The operational GFS and
ECMWF are in agreement with lifting the upper level low
northeastward across the vicinity of MO during the day Saturday,
while a shortwave trough rounding the base of this system lifts
from LA Saturday morning toward MS/AL through Saturday afternoon.
Associated forcing with the ejecting shortwave trough will focus
development of numerous showers and thunderstorms across
southeast MS into adjacent southwest AL Saturday, where will
continue to carry likely POPs, with scattered coverage farther
east over the remainder of the CWA. The 00Z operational GFS and
ECMWF guidance are in general agreement that we will have
sufficient instability (300-700 J/KG MLCAPE) and shear (25-35
knots of 850 mb flow and 100-200 m2/s2 storm relative helicity)
to lend potential for some strong to marginally severe storms
over the forecast area Saturday, with strong to locally damaging
winds looking to be the main concern. The latest Day 4 outlook
from SPC has brought the 15% severe potential back east over much
of our CWA Saturday, and we will continue to mention the
possibility of a few strong to severe storms in the Hazardous
Weather Outlook.

The surface front will become diffuse late Saturday afternoon into
Saturday evening as upper forcing begins lifting well north and
east of the region. There will still be enough moisture/lift to
keep a low chance of showers in the forecast Saturday night.
Additional shortwave impulses embedded in west/southwest flow
aloft may aid in the development of isolated to scattered showers
and thunderstorms again Sunday. Another upper level trough will
approach the Mississippi Valley region early next week, and this
feature could bring additional convective chances to our forecast
area Monday into Tuesday. Temperatures will otherwise remain quite
warm through the extended forecast period. /21

MARINE...An area of high pressure will move from the Tennessee
Valley to off the east coast while an area of low pressure
strengthens over the plains by the end of the week. As a result, a
moderate to strong onshore flow along with increasing chances of
showers and thunderstorms can be expected by this weekend. /13
