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 Sep 11, 11:40 PM CDT, 5 hours 5 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Sep 11, 11:40 PM CDT, 5 hours 5 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Mobile AL 1140 PM CDT Fri Sep 11 2020 .AVIATION... 06Z issuance...Radar shows very little left of evening convection. Winds look to be light from the northeast to calm overnight. VFR sky (bases at mid to high levels). Impacts to approaches and departures Saturday will be increase in areal coverage of shra/tsra during the day. Brief lower cigs, vsby, lightning hazards, and brief strong gusty winds will be common in and near convection. /10 && .PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 1109 PM CDT Fri Sep 11 2020/ NEAR TERM /Now Through Saturday night/...Similar to last evening, deep layer ridge is positioned from off the Mid-Atlantic to the TN Valley and from there into Texas. South of the ridge, weak inverted surface pressure trof was aligned from southeast LA to the central Gulf. Associated with it, radar trends indicate a few lingering spotty showers remaining. A re-development though of overnight showers and storms is expected over the coastal waters with a small chance of activity passing west over the Gulf coast. The system of more concern for later periods is Tropical Depression 19 (TD 19) off the southeast tip of the Florida Peninsula. TD 19 tracks west northwest over the southern Florida Peninsula through early Saturday morning and emerges over the warm waters of the eastern Gulf of Mexico during the course of the day Saturday. Environmental conditions support strengthening as the system lifts west northwest over the eastern Gulf through Saturday night. Refer to the National Hurricane Center for updates on forecast track and intensity for TD 19. For sensible weather, expect showers and storms to increase through Saturday morning and be scattered to numerous over the land areas by the afternoon. The greater deep layer moisture does slip west, to be more concentrated over southwest Alabama and southeast Mississippi by afternoon. Precipitable water values look to be between 2.2-2.4" in these areas, whereas slightly lower numbers (~ 2.0") over south-central Alabama and the western Florida Panhandle. A Moderate Risk of rip currents looks to begin tonight and continue through Saturday with a HIGH RISK of dangerous to potentially deadly rip currents to follow by Saturday night due to arrival of longer period swell. Gridded forecast highs Saturday look to mostly range from 89 to 92. Surface based moisture remains plentiful enough to make it feel like 100 to 103 degrees. These heat index numbers though remain below Heat Advisory Criteria. Little change for lows Saturday night, ranging in the low to mid 70s. Upper 70s along the immediate coast. /10 PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 709 PM CDT Fri Sep 11 2020/ AVIATION... 00Z issuance...Radar shows scattered shra/tsra tracking westward over the region and expect these to continue into the evening before a gradual decrease late in the night along and north of I-10. A cluster of convection may bring brief impacts by way of brief strong gusty winds and localized reductions to vsby to IFR categories to KPNS thru 01Z. Away from storms, winds look to be light from the northeast overnight with cigs at VFR categories (bases at mid to high levels). /10 PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 434 PM CDT Fri Sep 11 2020/ NEAR TERM UPDATE /Now Through Saturday/...The near term period will begin as a surface low pressure system, located over the Mississippi Valley (with associated fronts over the ARKLATEX region and over the Tennessee and lower Ohio valleys), slows and begins to weaken. Upper level ridging will also persist over the southeastern CONUS today but begin to break down through the day tomorrow. This is due to a series of easterly waves, the first of which is centered over the central Gulf of Mexico and is making its way westward. This disturbance is not expected to bring much in the way of impacts to our local area. Another tropical disturbance, upgraded to Tropical Depression 19 late this afternoon, is expected to make its way over Florida and enter the eastern Gulf coast through the day Saturday. At this time, this system is expected to progress slowly to the northwest over the eastern Gulf and strengthen into a tropical storm late Saturday night into early Sunday morning. Make sure to monitor the National Hurricane Center for updates to this system in regards to track and intensity. In terms of local impacts for the near term, a MODERATE RISK of rip currents will begin tonight and continue through Saturday (with a HIGH RISK to follow) due to increased swell. This will continue to be monitored. For sensible weather, the aforementioned dynamics will overall result in increasing chances of showers and storms through the weekend. Isolated to scattered showers continue over the area with higher coverage over southeast Mississippi late this afternoon. Shower and storm activity will then decrease through this evening over the land areas, being more focused over the open Gulf waters and right along the coast overnight. Expecting activity to increase through Saturday morning and be scattered to numerous over the land areas by the afternoon. The greater deep layer moisture will move west and be concentrated over southwest Alabama and southeast Mississippi by Saturday afternoon. PWATs between 2.2-2.4 inches are expected in these areas, whereas PWATs will be closer to 2 inches over south-central Alabama and the western Florida Panhandle. Model MLCAPE values are also generally between 1500-2000 J/kg during this time. Did not stray too far from the blended guidance in terms of PoPs for Saturday due ample moisture in place, but did keep higher PoPs over southwest Alabama and southeast Mississippi because of the better moisture over these areas. Low temperatures tonight are expected to only decrease to the mid 70s north of I-10 and to the mid to upper 70s south (due to increased moisture). Highs tomorrow will then be similar to today, but perhaps a touch cooler because of increased cloud cover and rain chances. Heat indices will remain below Heat Advisory Criteria though, ranging from the lower to mid 100s. /26 SHORT TERM /Saturday night Through Monday night/...Per the National Hurricane Center (NHC) track for Tropical Depression 19 (TD 19), TD19 will be located over the southeast Gulf early Saturday evening and advances west-northwestward towards the north central Gulf through Monday night, moving to roughly 40 miles south of the Alabama coast. Please see the NHC for the latest information regarding TD 19. As noted yesterday, there continues to be a region of relatively drier deep layer air which is advected across the forecast area on Sunday from the western Atlantic/extreme southeast states. However, this will be offset by abundant deep layer moisture associated with TD19 working into the area on Sunday, and have opted to continue with likely pops areawide for Sunday. Adding to the synoptic pattern will be a weak frontal boundary which meanwhile approaches from the west to northwest (associated with a surface low well off to the north) and moves into southern Louisiana to across central Alabama into central Georgia late Sunday night. The frontal boundary slowly shifts closer to the coast through Monday night and will serve to enhance coverage of precipitation over the area while TD19 nears the Alabama coast. Will have likely to categorical pops for Monday, with the higher pops over the southern half of the area where the frontal boundary will contribute to precipitation development. Locally heavy rainfall may be possible as early as Sunday afternoon over portions of the western Florida panhandle, with the potential for locally heavy rainfall then expanding over much of the area on Monday, especially over the coastal counties. This may result in localized flooding concerns as well. A Flash Flood Watch may become necessary for portions of the area beginning Monday. Highs on Sunday will be mostly in the upper 80s then highs on Monday will be in the mid 80s. Lows range from the lower 70s inland to the mid 70s at the coast. A high risk of rip currents is expected during the period. /29 EXTENDED TERM /Tuesday Through Friday/...By Tuesday morning, TD19 will be located approximately 40 miles south of the Alabama coast then moves slowly off into Louisiana through Wednesday, weakening in the process. A frontal boundary will be located near the southern portion of the forecast area (possibly further inland depending on the track of TD19) and may be pushed into part of the marine area on Wednesday or linger near the coast, depending on the strength of a surface ridge over the southeastern states. This pattern will support likely to categorical pops on Tuesday and Wednesday along with the potential for locally heavy rain/localized flooding especially over the coastal counties. Scattered to numerous showers and storms will follow for Thursday, then finally rain chances drop off to chance to good chance by Friday. /29 MARINE...Tropical Depression 19 located between the Bahamas and southern Florida will advance westward through Saturday then move west-northwestward towards the north central Gulf coast through early next week. Please see the National Hurricane Center for more information regarding Tropical Depression 19. && .MOB WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... AL...None. FL...None. MS...None.
