Area Forecast Discussion...UPDATED
National Weather Service Mobile AL
646 PM CDT Wed May 30 2018

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

&&

.AVIATION...
00Z issuance...VFR conditions will prevail through much of the
period. Patchy MVFR fog will develop tonight with only isolated
showers and thunderstorms expected on Thursday. /13

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 345 PM CDT Wed May 30 2018/

NEAR TERM /Now Through Thursday/...
Persistent mid to upper trof generally stretching from the TN
river valley to the north central gulf coast and offshore will
continue to slowly lift northeast through Thu afternoon as a broad
upper ridge over the lower plains states continues to shift
eastward towards the western gulf of Mexico and lower Ms River
valley. The main upper trof will remain somewhat negatively tilted
through Thu afternoon with main axis slipping just east of the
forecast area by late Thu afternoon with the best lift and forcing
generally along and east of the upper trof through the next 24
hours. At the surface high pressure over the western Atlantic
generally east of the FL/GA coast will continue to build west
towards the north central gulf states through Thu afternoon as the
remnants of Alberto move well north into Canada north of the
Great Lakes. With this pattern expect much less coverage of
showers and thunderstorms across the forecast area beginning this
evening, continuing through Thu afternoon. The best chance for
measurable rain will be mostly over interior sections of the
forecast area through Thu with only a slight chance for showers
and thunderstorms generally along and north of the I-10 corridor
this evening, clearing out overnight, followed by slight chance
pops for most areas including the coast early in the morning, then
followed by better coverage generally along and east of the
Mobile/Tensaw River Delta on Thu. For now most of the model
guidance shows mainly scattered coverage later in the day on Thu.
Similar to today wind gusts to around 30 mph, frequent cloud to
ground lightning and periods of very heavy rain, possible leading
to some minor flooding, will be the main threats with some of the
stronger thunderstorms during the day on Thu. Temperatures will
continue to be near seasonal levels through Thu with lows ranging
from the lower 70s for areas generally north of the I-10 corridor
and the mid to upper 70s for all other areas to the south. Highs
Thu will range from the upper 80s to lower 90s for most areas
generally north of the I-10 corridor and the mid to upper 80s
further south to the immediate coast. 32/ee

SHORT TERM /Thursday night Through Saturday night/...
Mid-level ridge off the coast of Florida works in conjunction with a
shortwave over the Ohio River Valley to advect in dry area locally
over southern Alabama Thursday evening into Friday. This should keep
Friday relatively rain free with isolated chances of afternoon
showers. As the aforementioned shortwave shifts south late Friday
into Saturday. This shortwave drags and east-west orientated surface
boundary across the Gulf Coast. Though the region will still be
relatively dry in the mid-level, low-level moisture will promote
precipitable water values between 1.5-1.7 inches. As a result there
are slightly higher rain chances on Saturday afternoon and evening.
Both Friday and Saturday will see temperatures well above seasonal
normals in the low to mid 90s. DJ/17

LONG TERM /Sunday Through Wednesday/...
A second mid-level shortwave near the Great Lakes develops a cold
front at the surface that extends south through the Lower
Mississippi River Valley. This cold front moves through southern
Alabama Sunday and acts as the lifting mechanism for a line of
convection along the boundary. Models are showing CAPE values above
2500 J/kg in a weakly sheared environment though depending on the
timing when this is coupled with diurnal heating there is potential
for strong storms along the front. On Monday after the front passes
through, the central Gulf Coast and surrounding areas dry out
considerably. An amplifying mid-level ridge builds west of the
Mississippi River allowing for weak north winds. Max temperatures
will still reach the low 90s in the afternoon hours and some widely
scattered showers cannot be ruled out. DJ/17

MARINE...Surface high pressure over the western Atlantic will
build west over the northern and central gulf through the remainder
of the week. This pattern will lead to a light to moderate southerly
flow over the marine area through Friday. Winds will shift mostly
southwest and build to exercise caution levels over the weekend and
into early next week as a weak frontal boundary approaches from the
northwest and interacts with the ridge of high pressure over the
eastern and north central gulf. Winds and waves will be higher near
scattered to numerous showers and thunderstorms through the forecast
period.  32/ee
