...HARD FREEZE WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT FROM MIDNIGHT TONIGHT TO
8 AM CST SUNDAY...

* TEMPERATURES...Dropping to around 20 degrees over interior 
  southeast Mississippi and portions of southwest Alabama late 
  Saturday night in early Sunday morning. 

* Impacts...Sub-freezing temperatures could result in 
  hypothermia and will also be a danger for pets, livestock and 
  sensitive vegetation. Exposed water pipes will be at risk of 
  freezing and possibly bursting. 

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

A Hard Freeze Warning means temperatures of 20 degrees or lower
are expected. These temperatures can cause exposed water pipes to
burst. If you have any exterior open air piping, ensure the pipes
are adequately covered and open the faucet slightly for a small
stream of water overnight.

Check on elderly neighbors to make sure they have adequate heat.
Area shelters should continue to expect increased demand. Outdoor
pets and livestock should also have adequate warmth.

Take adequate safety precautions with heating systems, and make
sure to utilize carbon monoxide detectors in enclosed spaces.
Ensure space heaters are not left unattended and are not used
near flammable materials such as curtains or bed coverings. Space
heaters account for one out of every three home heating fires and
four out of five home heating fire deaths.

Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Mobile AL
435 AM CST Sat Jan 13 2018

.NEAR TERM /Now Through Saturday night/...Cloud cover gradually
erodes this morning as a massive surface high pushes south into the
midwestern United States and cold north winds continue to usher dry
air into our area. Despite plenty of sunshine this afternoon, this
cold air advection dominates and highs remain well below normal.
Most should see temps this afternoon only reach the low to mid 40's,
though wind chills will make it feel like the mid 30's. As this
surface high continues to build across the eastern CONUS, the local
pressure gradient relaxes and our winds die down. This, coupled with
the clear skies, will result in efficient radiative cooling late
tonight, and thus plummeting temperatures. Lows will range from low
to mid 20's generally along and southeast of I-65, and upper teens
to around 20 northwest of the interstate. A Hard Freeze Warning is
in effect tonight for the latter areas. /49

.SHORT TERM /Sunday Through Monday night/...A longwave trof
pattern persists over the eastern half of the CONUS during the
period. A ridge of cold surface high pressure over the
southeastern states weakens Monday as a surface low well to the
north brings a reinforcing cold front into the region. The cold
front continues southward Monday night and into the mid section of
the forecast area. No precipitation is expected with the front.
Temperatures early Sunday morning will be in the lower 20s north
of the coast with mid 20s at the coast, and a Hard Freeze Warning
will be in effect for southeast Mississippi and interior southwest
Alabama. Lows Sunday night will be a bit warmer and mostly in the
mid 20s as the cold airmass over the region moderates somewhat.
Some lower 20s are possible well inland but are expected to remain
above hard freeze criteria. Lows Monday night will be a bit
higher compared to Sunday night and range from around 30 inland to
the mid/upper 30s at the coast. /29

.LONG TERM /Tuesday Through Friday/...The longwave trof over the
eastern half of the CONUS moves off into the western Atlantic by
Thursday, while the cold front over the mid section of the forecast
area early Tuesday morning moves quickly off to the east and a dome
of cold and dry surface high pressure builds into the region.
Moderate isentropic lift develops over the area in the wake of the
cold front mainly Tuesday afternoon into Tuesday evening then tapers
off with much drier air flowing into the region. The timing of the
isentropic lift and drier air results in both less coverage of
precipitation and also much less QPF than the previous forecast
package indicated. Will have mostly slight chance pops developing
Tuesday afternoon along and west of I-65 then chance pops follow for
the entire area Tuesday evening. With the weakening isentropic lift
and progressively drier air flowing into the area, will have mostly
slight chance pops over the eastern half of the area with dry
conditions further to the west. Dry conditions then follow by
Wednesday morning for the entire area.

For precipitation type, scattered patches of light rain Tuesday
afternoon will change over to a wintry mix over the well inland
portions of southeast Mississippi and southwest Alabama. The
precipitation changes over to a wintry mix over interior areas
Tuesday evening while light rain continues to the south. While dry
conditions develop over southeast Mississippi and interior southwest
Alabama Tuesday night, the precipitation over the remainder of the
area changes over to a wintry mix before dry conditions are expected
for the entire area Wednesday morning.

No significant accumulation of wintry precipitation is expected
through the period. Dry conditions continue through Thursday
night, then slight chance to chance pops return to the forecast by
Friday afternoon as a surface low is expected to develop near the
Texas coast and advance eastward. A hard freeze looks likely for
interior areas and possibly closer to the coast both Tuesday night
and Wednesday night. Temperatures then moderate a bit for
Thursday night with mid 20s inland ranging to lower 30s closer to
the coast. /29

.MARINE...A Small Craft Advisory remains in effect for nearshore Gulf
waters out 20 nautical miles and area bays and sounds until 9am CST
this morning, and for offshore Gulf waters out 20 to 60 nautical
miles until early Sunday morning. Strong offshore winds and elevated
seas begin to diminish during the day Sunday. A generally light east
to northeast flow and seas around 1 to 2 feet are then expected
Monday and Tuesday, before another frontal passage brings strong
offshore flow and building seas back to the marine area Wednesday
into Thursday. Flow then quickly diminishes late Thursday and shifts
to more southeasterly Friday into next weekend as yet another
weather system approaches quickly from the west. /49
