Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Mobile AL
627 AM CDT Sun Oct 8 2017

.DISCUSSION...Updated for latest aviation discussion below.

&&

.AVIATION...
12Z issuance...As Nate continues to track inland, expect lingering
showers through the afternoon hours over the western Florida
panhandle and interior southern Alabama. Moderate westerly winds
this afternoon (with frequent higher gusts in and around the
showers) gradually weaken and shift to more southerly tonight.
Expect the MVFR to locally IFR cigs to continue through the day.
Isolated to scattered showers then continue overnight tonight,
primarily closer to the coast, with patchy MVFR/IFR fog possible
outside of the showers. /49

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 512 AM CDT Sun Oct 8 2017/

NEAR TERM /Now Through Sunday night/...KMOB radar is detecting
that the center of Tropical Storm Nate has crossed over the
Mississippi / Alabama state line into northern Washington county,
AL. Nate is forecast to continue moving north-northeast near 23
MPH across the northern portion of the forecast area early this
morning, approaching central Alabama. Tropical storm force winds
or frequent gusts to near tropical storm force will continue into
the early morning hours near the center of Tropical Storm Nate and
points eastward. The strong winds will continue to decrease
throughout the day, and the Tropical Storm Warning currently in
effect will likley be cancelled at 10 AM this morning.

Maximum storm surge between 5 to 8 feet across southwest Alabama
peaked overnight with the high tide, and water levels will
continue to decrease through tonight as Nate moving quickly away
from the area. Heavy rain bands across the eastern portion of the
forecast area will gradually move east, and the Flash Flood Watch
will likely be discontinued by noon.

The ongoing high surf conditions and coastal flooding will improve
throughout the day, however a high risk of rip currents will
persist through Monday evening due to long period swell that will
continue to approach the coast from the south.

High temperature today will range from 80 to 85 degrees. Low
temperatures tonight will be in the mid 70s, except for the upper
70s at the beaches. /22

SHORT TERM /Monday Through Tuesday night/...An upper level low
pressure area will move northeast from the desert southwest to the
midwest states Monday and Tuesday, while a large upper high
pressure area over the western Atlantic moves westward over the
region. Scattered to numerous showers and thunderstorms will
persist on Monday, followed by isolated to scattered showers and
thunderstorms Monday night and Tuesday. Dry conditions will return
Tuesday night.

High temperature Monday and Tuesday will range from 84 to 88
degrees. Low temperatures Monday night will range from 71 to 75
degrees, lowering slightly to between 68 to 73 degrees Tuesday
night./22

LONG TERM /Wednesday Through Saturday/...The large upper high
pressure area will persist over the region through the long term.
Meanwhile, a weak cold front approaches the region from the north
Wednesday morning will move across the forecast area and off the
coast Wednesday night. Surface high pressure will then build in
from the north across the southeast conus through the remainder
of the long term. Isolated to low-end scattered showers and
thunderstorms will linger through mid week, followed by dry
conditions Thursday night through Friday night. /22

MARINE...Tropical Storm Nate will continue to move north-
northeast across the southeast states through tonight. The strong
onshore winds will continue to decrease through tonight, with seas
gradually subsiding. The Tropical Storm Warning currently in effect
will likley be cancelled at 10 AM this morning. A light onshore flow
on Monday and Tuesday will turn to the east by midweek as a surface
ridge of high pressure builds north of the coast. A weak cold front
will then move through the area Wednesday night, followed by a light
offshore flow through the remainder of the week. /22
