Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Mobile AL
555 AM CDT Tue Sep 15 2020
.AVIATION...
12Z issuance...Outer bands from Hurricane Sally are rotating
westward and impinging/expanding over the Gulf coast this
morning. As bands continue to rotate in off the Gulf in the near
term, expect cigs to lower to MVFR/IFR categories and vsby can be
quickly reduced to IFR categories with the passage of better
defined rain-bands. In addition to very heavy rain, hazards to
approaches and departures will be strong wind gusts in convective
bands. Some of the bands can contain tornadoes. /10
&&
.PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 447 AM CDT Tue Sep 15 2020/
NEAR TERM UPDATE /Now Through Wednesday/...Hurricane Sally was
located about 90 miles south of the east end of Dauphin Island and
is crawling west northwest at ~ 2 mph. Bursts of deep
convection/cold cloud tops to between -80C/-85C continue at the core
of the hurricane, but comes in cycles and has not persisted for any
substantial length of time. The lack of persistence is due to
upwelling of cooler oceanic water to the surface due to Sally's slow
forward speed and entrainment of drier air at mid-levels. Northeast
of Sally's center, radar data indicates a strong convective band
with embedded supercells rotating westward over the coastal waters.
With these supercells, doppler radar storm relative velocities have
shown rotating couplets which is an indication of an increased
tornado threat as the band pivots up near the coast this morning.
This is supported by 0-1 KM storm relative helicity values aligned
along the outer band which range from 250 to 500 M2/S2; these values
are intersecting the coast. Sally's center though was ragged
since Monday evening but seems to have achieved a better
representation early this morning. Even so, latest discussions
from the National Hurricane Center indicate that Sally is coming
into an area of moderate to high mid to upper level shear.
Considering this the forecast intensity has been lowered. Little
change has occurred in the track approach to the coast, but what
has changed is at a slower forward speed per the 15.09Z advisory.
The official forecast now has Sally crossing coastal Mobile county
late Wednesday morning at category one strength but gusts could
still achieve category two strength. Considering this, Hurricane
force winds remain likely Tuesday night and Wednesday for Mobile
and Baldwin counties. But Sally's wind field is forecast to
weaken/shrink rapidly soon after landfall.
Conditions are expected to deteriorate today as more organized
outer rainbands lash the Gulf coast with tropical storm force
winds and very heavy rainfall. These bands will spread further
northwest and northward through the course of the day bringing
tropical storm force wind gusts to portions of the interior. Sally
begins re-curvature into the day Wednesday with the core moving
up across the Mobile/Tensaw River Valleys late in the day,
progressing northeast into the interior of southwest AL by
evening. In addition to evolving life threatening storm surge,
dangerously high breaking waves/high surf will likely result in
coastal erosion. Other impacts will be deadly rip currents and
dangerous torrential rainfall which will likely result in life
threatening flash flooding. The tornado threat will also be on the
increase.
It is extremely important to stay vigilant and have an action plan
in place as short term adjustments to track and intensity can still
occur. Therefore, please make sure to continue to check our web-page
(weather.gov/mob) as well as the National Hurricane Center
(www.hurricanes.gov) for the latest updates and information on
Hurricane Sally. /10
SHORT TERM /Wednesday night Through Friday night/...Sally's
prolonged torrential rain could potentially reach historic levels.
Forecasters continue to advertise 15 to 20 inches over the southern
portions of the I-65 corridor including Mobile/Baldwin counties to
the Florida Panhandle. Localized higher amounts of up to 30
inches is possible when all is said and done. Stages along many
rivers will be responding to this, forecast to go into moderate to
major flood. The wind field shrinks rapidly as Sally weakens to a
Tropical Depression while lifting over the far northeast zones
early Thursday morning. Although the remnants of Sally will be
moving away, up across eastern AL/western GA Thursday, it is
likely that rain will linger through the day on Thursday. Will
take awhile for the Gulf to calm down with high surf and life
threatening rip currents likely to persist into the end of the
week. In the wake of Sally, an upper trof will be aligned
northeast to southwest from the TN Valley to along the TX coast
and western Gulf. At the same time, a weak front settles across
the Carolinas to the Lower MS River Valley. Southeast of the
boundary and upper trof, enough deep moisture remains to maintain
the potential for isolated to scattered showers and storms Friday.
Daytime highs Thursday and Friday, in the upper 70s to lower 80s,
will be well below climatology normals. There are indications that
the front will make passage Friday night with overnight lows
trending downward a few degrees. In fact, the cooler numbers in the
short term, in the mid 60s, are positioned over the interior
northwest zones. /10
EXTENDED TERM /Saturday Through Tuesday/...Global spectral models
show mid-level trough from the Appalachians to the TX coast Saturday
slipping southward by the early half of next week. Rain chances
lower to 10% or less over the interior but will keep a small PoP
going over the coast. After Sally, will look forward to a more
settled/quieter pattern. The significant rainfall and runoff from
Sally in the near and short term periods will keep local river
stages high with moderate to major river flooding continuing over
many rivers in the local Hydrologic Service Area. A high risk of
rip currents will likely linger into the weekend. /10
MARINE...Dangerous conditions to continue over the marine area
with Hurricane Sally. /10
