What forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this rip current statement went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS Mobile, AL wrote its last area forecast discussion before this rip current statement went out at Jun 17, 11:57 PM CDT, 2 hours 57 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Jun 17, 11:57 PM CDT, 2 hours 57 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion...UPDATED National Weather Service Mobile AL 1157 PM CDT Mon Jun 17 2019 .DISCUSSION...Updated for latest aviation discussion below. && .AVIATION... 06Z issuance...A line of showers and thunderstorms have organized off the Louisiana coast and will move northeast across the area overnight. Conditions are expected to remain at MVFR or higher levels, though locally gusty winds near the thunderstorms are possible. Outside of the line, local fog development is possible, with VISBYs remaining at or above low end MVFR levels. A light southerly wind is expected through the night outside of the rain areas. Showers and thunderstorms are expected to again develop Tuesday. Drops to MVFR levels along with locally strong and variable winds are possible with the stronger storms. Operations may be impacted at times during the afternoon. A southerly wind around 10 knots is expected during the day, a bit strong closer to the coast and large near-coastal bays as a seabreeze develops. /16 && .PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 1005 PM CDT Mon Jun 17 2019/ DISCUSSION...See updated information for land areas below. UPDATE...Convection over interior portions of the forecast area has diminished in coverage and intensity over the past couple of hours, though radar still indicates some isolated showers developing around the CWA. A shortwave trough will continue to track eastward from the Lower Mississippi Valley region and across MS/western AL late tonight into Tuesday morning. Deep layer moisture will continue to increase across our western zones overnight ahead of this approaching feature, with precipitable water values forecast to increase to around or just above 2" roughly along and west of I-65 by early Tuesday morning. Ascent ahead of the approaching shortwave trough (and remnant MCV/convective outflow over southern LA and the adjacent northern Gulf) may interact with the available moisture and some remnant instability to aid in the development of additional scattered showers and thunderstorms overnight into early Tuesday morning. We have increased POPs a bit from the previous forecast to 40-50% across portions of southeast MS and adjacent southwest AL, while keeping 20-30% coverage in place over much of south central AL and the western FL panhandle. Other than some slight adjustments to hourly temperatures/dewpoints, all other forecast elements generally look to be on track. /21 PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 634 PM CDT Mon Jun 17 2019/ DISCUSSION...Updated for latest aviation discussion below. AVIATION... 00Z issuance...General upper end MVFR to VFR conditions were noted across the area at the beginning of the forecast. Isolated TSRA were bringing local drops to low end MVFR levels over areas along and north of Highway 84 this evening before moving north of the area. Overnight, general VFR conditions are expected, with local drops in VISBYs to low end MVFR levels due to fog development. Southerly winds around 10 knots will become light by midnight. Tuesday will see MVFR level CU forming as the boundary layer begins to mix the accumulated moisture, but VFR CIGs are expected by 18z. A few light showers will be possible, but are not expected to impact operations. Afternoon, stronger convection is expected to form as a seabreeze moves inland from the Gulf and larger coastal bays. Location and coverage may impact operations at times, with low end MVFR CIGs and VISBYs possible in very heavy rains, mainly mid to late afternoon. A light southerly flow will increase to a general 10 knots by noontime, a bit strong along the coast and large coastal bays. /16 PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 347 PM CDT Mon Jun 17 2019/ NEAR TERM /Now Through Tuesday/...Scattered showers and thunderstorms will continue over the local area through this evening before tapering off after sunset as instability wanes. A more widespread coverage in thunderstorms is currently ongoing just to our west, driven by a series of weak disturbances embedded within an unsettled upper-level southwesterly flow pattern over the lower Mississippi River Valley. This upper pattern spreads east across the Deep South and southeastern states tonight into Tuesday, bringing with it better large-scale ascent and increasing rain chances. Thunderstorms likely push through the area in waves on Tuesday, the first of which will be focused along a remnant outflow boundary or decaying squall line/MCS over our southeast Mississippi and southwest Alabama counties Tuesday morning. This first complex pushes east into the Florida panhandle and south-central Alabama counties during late morning and early afternoon hours, with some re- intensification possible as daytime heating results in better instability out ahead of it. Redevelopment will be possible across the area in the wake of this first wave late Tuesday afternoon and evening, aided by another passing disturbance in the upper-level southwesterly flow. Intensity and coverage of this second wave will depend heavily on how much instability can redevelop in the wake of the first wave of storms, but at least a scattered coverage is expected primarily over inland areas. Lows tonight range from low 70s inland to mid 70s along the coast. Temps on Tuesday will run a few degrees cooler than recent days due to the greater coverage of showers and thunderstorms and broken to overcast skies. Expect highs to reach the mid 80s for most areas, except portions of south-central Alabama where breaks in the clouds before the rain will allow some locations to climb into the upper 80s to around 90. /49 SHORT TERM /Tuesday night Through Thursday night/...A moist low- level onshore flow continues as surface high pressure continues to ridge in from the west. Aloft the region will remain on the northern periphery of the subtropical ridge with a persistent southwest to westerly flow prevailing aloft. Minor shortwave troughs will move through the longwave trough lying over northeastern and Canada and across the southwestward states. These impulses will continue to enhance convection developing during the late morning and afternoon hours as instability increases along lingering outflow and seabreeze boundaries. Current guidance indicates that vertical shear increases over the area late Wednesday afternoon into Thursday as a stronger shortwave trough approaches and moves across the region. 0-6 KM Bulk Shear values of 20 to 30 knots are projected late Wednesday afternoon increasing to 25 to 35 knots on Thursday. The increasing shear will help sustained thunderstorm updrafts longer and lead to a greater risk of strong and possibly severe thunderstorms late Wednesday afternoon and again on Thursday. The shear is expected to remain unidirectional so the biggest threat from the strongest storms will be damaging straight line winds and in the most intense updrafts nickel to quarter size hail. The storms on Thursday should be heavy rain producers with deep warm layer moisture and layer precipitable water amounts of around two inches available. The potential will exist for localized flooding along poor drainages and urban areas. Daytime high temperatures trend near to warmer than normal on Wednesday. Increased cloud and precipitation coverage Thursday is expected to keep afternoon temperatures near normal. Overnight lows should continue to trend well above normal through Thursday night. /08 LONG TERM /Friday Through Monday/...Chances of afternoon convection over the area is expected to trend lower Friday and into the weekend as an upper level ridge builds over the north central Gulf region. Mid to upper level subsidence will then help hinder the diurnally driven convection. Surface high pressure over the central Gulf will keep an onshore low-level flow over the region keeping humidities up and creating muggy conditions during the overnight and early morning hours. Temperatures through the long term will trend warmer than climatological norms. /08 MARINE...High pressure east of the area will maintain a generally light onshore flow and little change in seas through Tuesday. Moderate to strong southwest flow and building seas are expected mid to late week, producing SCEC conditions over unprotected Gulf waters beginning Wednesday. Showers and thunderstorms are expected each day through the end of the work week. /49 && .MOB WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... AL...None. FL...None. MS...None.
