Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Mobile AL
600 AM CST Thu Feb 20 2020
.AVIATION
12Z issuance...Numerous to widespread rain will affect the area
through much of today followed by dry conditions developing by early
evening. Northeasterly winds 5 to 10 knots increase to 10 to 20
knots this afternoon. IFR to MVFR conditions prevail today followed
by VFR conditions developing overnight.
&&
.PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 433 AM CST Thu Feb 20 2020/
.NEAR TERM UPDATE /Now Through Thursday night/...A positively tilted
upper trof located from the Great Lakes into the central Plains
shifts eastward through tonight to extend from the extreme northeast
states into the southeast states. During this transition, a surface
low develops over the northwestern Gulf and progresses quickly
eastward along a stalled frontal boundary located over the northern
Gulf, later emerging in the western Atlantic late this afternoon. A
massive surface high which extends across much of the central and
eastern states meanwhile builds into the region and ushers colder
air into the area, especially for the overnight hours. Elevated
deep layer moisture is still in place over the area with
precipitable water values near 1.5 inches (about 175-200 percent of
normal) then finally is replaced by progressively drier air flowing
into the area this afternoon into tonight as the upper trof advances
into the region. A combination of layer lifting seen from 290-300K,
the passing surface low and a series of pesky shortwaves continuing
to move across the area ahead of the approaching upper trof will
support categorical pops over the entire area today then dry
conditions develop early this evening as the drier air flows into
the region. Despite a stratiform rain process, moist soil conditions
and rainfall totals of up to around 1.5-2.0 inches may lead to some
non-river flooding concerns so have opted to keep the current flood
watch in place well inland and let the next shift reassess. Highs
today mainly range from 50 to 55 well inland to 60 to 65 closer to
the coast. Lows tonight range from the lower 30s well inland to the
upper 30s close to the coast. A moderate risk of rip currents
continues through tonight. /29
&&
.SHORT TERM /Friday Through Saturday night/...Dry conditions
continue over the area on Friday as a large surface high settles
over the eastern states. Highs will be mainly in the lower 50s.
Upper level northwest flow and sfc high pressure will continue
through Saturday, maintaining clear skies and cool conditions.
Temps will continue below normal on Saturday with highs in the mid
and upper 50s and lows in the upper 20s/low 30s Friday night and
mid/upper 30s inland to low 40s along the coast Saturday night.
29/13
&&
.EXTENDED TERM /Sunday Through Wednesday/...The extended term
will begin as an upper level, southern-stream trough moves off
over the Atlantic and upper level ridging begins to advance over
the southeastern CONUS. This ridge will dominate through much of
the weekend, but another trough will develop over the southwestern
CONUS early Sunday. This feature will progress eastward and then
move across the region early next week. A series of shortwaves
will then move along the flow into midweek. By early Sunday,
high pressure will begin to shift east and a low pressure system
will develop east of the Four Corners. By Monday, this low will
progress over the upper Mississippi Valley, with a warm front over
the Tennessee Valley and a cold front draped over the ARKLATEX
region. This will put our area in the warm sector Monday morning.
Cold FROPA is then expected over our area by Tuesday morning. A
reinforcing cold front is then expected to move through the area
into midweek.
For sensible weather, dry and clear conditions will be the story
through Saturday. Rain chances will return once again by Sunday
afternoon, with better chances late Sunday through Monday. At this
time, did not mention thunder on Monday due to little to no
instability shown by model guidance; but, this will continue to be
monitored. A continued unsettled pattern is likely to then
persist through the rest of the extended term. /26
&&
.MARINE...Light to moderate northeasterly winds become southerly
this morning then switch to a strong northerly flow this afternoon
as a low pressure system moves across the area. The strong offshore
flow gradually diminishes Friday into Saturday. A Small Craft
Advisory remains in effect for most of the area beginning early this
afternoon and continuing through Friday afternoon before ending over
the near shore waters, then ends over the 20-60 nm portion by late
Friday evening. A light to moderate southeast flow develops on
Sunday then becomes southwesterly on Monday. /29
