Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Mobile AL
457 AM CDT Wed May 3 2017

...Heavy Rain and Potential for Severe Storms Tonight and
Thursday...

.NEAR TERM /Now Through Wednesday night/...Near zonal flow aloft
becomes more diffluent today and tonight as sharp upper trof
develops over the eastern plains states and deepens into upper low
over northern Arkansas tonight. The diffluent flow aloft will
result in increased upward vertical motion over our area,
especially tonight, which will aide in the development and
persistence of widespread showers and thunderstorms. The upper
dynamics results in the formation of surface low pressure over
Arkansas late this afternoon, lifting northeast to near Memphis TN
tonight. By late tonight, an associated cold front is expected to
be extending south across MS, with a warm front lifting north
from the Gulf and being oriented near east-west along the Gulf
coast over our forecast area. A number of the most recent model
runs indicate that a Mesoscale Convective System (MCS) will
initiate over southeast TX and/or southwest LA early in the day as
the developing diffluent flow aloft begins to increase lift.
After the MCS develops, the warm frontal boundary along the coast
will act as a focus for the system to move steadily east along the
Gulf coast, affecting our local area beginning late this evening
over our MS and into our southwest AL zones, along the central
portions of the forecast area during the overnight into the very
early morning hours on Thursday. Storms then gradually ending over
eastern portions of the forecast area late Thursday morning into
the early afternoon (see Short Term Discussion below).

Very moist airmass expected in advance of the eastward moving MCS,
with PWAT's forecast to be in the 1.75 to 2.25 inch range over much
of the forecast area Wednesday night (into Thursday). This fact,
combined with the associated dynamics mentioned above, indicates
potential for very heavy rainfall over our area beginning late
Wednesday evening (and continuing into much of Thursday). Heavy
rainfall potential will likely be greatest near the coast, in the
vicinity of the warm front. Widespread rainfall totals Wednesday
night into Thursday of 2 to 4 inches are expected across much of the
forecast area (especially western and coastal counties), with
locally higher amounts (up to 6 inches in some localized areas)
possible. The previously issued Flash Flood Watch has been extended
to include several counties to the east of the original issuance,
and also extended in time (to around midday Thursday).

In addition to the heavy rainfall, there is also a potential for
severe weather with the passage of this system. There is now a
Slight Risk tonight for severe storms over the western third of our
forecast area, roughly west of a Butler, Grove Hill, Mobile line.
There is an Enhanced Risk for severe storms from the Wiggins area
and points westward tonight, while a Marginal Risk exists further
east across parts of south central Alabama and the western Florida
panhandle. Latest model data continues to show deep layer shear
values increasing to 50-60 knots and 0-3km helicity values of 200-
300 m^2/S^2 over the Slight Risk area late tonight. The limiting
factor will be instability due to weak lapse rates of 4.5 to around
6.5 C/km and highest SBCAPE (1200-1900 J/KG) confined to immediate
coastal areas. Another limiting factor will be very moist
atmospheric profiles. But, the strongly forced MCS moving east along
the warm front late tonight through Thursday morning will still be
capable of producing damaging straight line winds (the main threat)
along with the risk of an isolated tornado in bows and lewps along
the line.

High temperatures today in the lower 80s near the coast and the mid
80s over inland areas ( a few upper 80s possible over interior east
zones). Lows tonight ranging from low to mid 60s interior counties
to upper 60s and near 70 at the coast. 12/DS

.SHORT TERM /Thursday Through Friday night/...For Thu morning
ongoing showers and thunderstorms will continue to move eastward
over the forecast area with the best coverage occurring over
central and eastern parts of the forecast area through midday
followed by less coverage, mostly scattered, occurring over
eastern sections of the forecast area through mid to late
afternoon. As mentioned earlier there still continues to be a
threat for severe weather with the stronger thunderstorms moving
across region early in the day with the best chance generally
along and east of the I-65 corridor through midday. Damaging
straight-line winds along with isolated tornadoes mostly along a
squall line advancing eastward will be the main threats. With
pwats still expected to increase to around 2 inches for most
locations ahead of the front locally heavy rainfall will also be
likely possibly leading to some flash or areal flooding. As a
result a flash flood watch will continue through early Thu
afternoon. By late Thu afternoon a surface to h8 cold front moves
across the forecast area followed by a deeper layer of colder air
moving across the region during the evening and overnight hours.
This pattern sets the stage for much cooler/drier conditions Fri
and Fri night.

As for temps highs Thu will range from the upper 60s to lower 70s
in the wake of the front Thu afternoon and the mid 70s over the
eastern sections of the forecast area generally along and east of
the front. For Thu night lows will fall to the upper 40s to lower
50s inland and the mid 50s along the immediate coast. For Fri
with mostly sunny skies and cooler air moving in from the
northwest highs will range from the upper 60s to lower 70s for
most inland areas and the middle 70s closer to the coast. Lows Fri
night will be in the upper 40s to lower 50s for inland areas and
the middle 50s near the coast.

.LONG TERM /Saturday Through Tuesday/...By early Sat main upper
trof shifts northeast over the mid Atlantic and New England
states with a sharp upper ridge forming over the central and lower
plains. The upper ridge will then shift east reaching the
Mississippi river valley by late Tue afternoon. At the surface
high pressure continues to be reinforced from the northwest Sat
through Tue afternoon.

High temps will be in the middle 70s for most areas on Sat, lower
80s inland and upper 70s near the coast Sun, and the lower to
middle 80s Mon and Tue. Lows Sat night will range from the upper
40s to lower 50s inland and the mid 50s near the coast, mid 50s
to lower 60s Sun night, and the upper 50s to middle 60s Mon night.
32/ee

.MARINE...An increasingly strong onshore flow will develop in
advance of an approaching storm frontal system today and tonight,
becoming strong west to northwest in the wake of the front,
continuing through at least late Friday. Winds and seas will likely
increase to Small Craft Advisory levels by around midnight tonight,
and continue through Friday. A Small Craft Advisory is now in effect
for all of the marine area from midnight tonight through midnight
Thursday night, and continues for the Gulf Marine zones (as well as
southern Mobile Bay and the Mississippi sound) through midnight
Friday night. Winds and seas will be higher near scattered to
numerous showers and thunderstorms late tonight through much of the
day Thursday. Offshore flow weakens over the weekend, along with
subsiding seas as high pressure builds into the marine area.
