Area forecast discussion, Sep 15, 7:02 PM CDT, 3 hours 51 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Mobile AL Issued by National Weather Service Key West FL 702 PM CDT Tue Sep 15 2020 .AVIATION... 00Z issuance...Hurricane Sally continues to move closer to the Alabama coast at a slow pace, with landfall occurring late tonight or early tomorrow morning. The thundery squalls will remain affecting the terminals through most of the day tomorrow, with conditions improving first at MOB. The squalls will bring very heavy downpours and hurricane-force wind gusts, especially at BFM and MOB tonight through tomorrow morning. Crosswind gusts will fall below 35 knots tomorrow afternoon. Due to the slow and, at times, erratic motion of Sally, expect frequent amendments. Heavy rainfall will result in residual ponding or flooding along the tarmac, even after the winds subside. /SDR && .PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 446 PM CDT Tue Sep 15 2020/ NEAR TERM UPDATE /Now Through Wednesday/...Hurricane Sally is currently located roughly 85 miles south of Mobile moving north at 2 mph. Rain bands will continue to rotate inland as Sally is forecast is make landfall near the eastern end of Dauphin Island early Wednesday morning and track and slowly track northeast from there. Considering this, hurricane force winds remain likely late tonight into Wednesday for Mobile and Baldwin counties. Sally's wind field is forecast to weaken/shrink rapidly soon after landfall. Based on the latest forecast, Tropical Storm Warnings have been expanded inland. As Sally nears today, storm relative helicity values will ramp up across the area, setting the stage for isolated tornadoes, especially near the coast. A slight risk for severe storms is also in effect for coastal areas for the possibility of tornadoes. The biggest story will likely be the heavy rainfall as the system is expected to only be in western Escambia County, Alabama by Wednesday evening. This will result dangerous torrential rainfall across much of the region, which will result in life threatening flash flooding across much of the area. Dangerous river flooding is also expected as many rivers are expected to go into moderate to major flooding with some near record crests forecast. Residents should monitor the latest river forecasts and be prepared to seek higher ground. 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. /13 SHORT TERM /Wednesday night Through Friday night/...Sally will continue to slowly move northeast and out of our area early Thursday morning. Although Sally will be weakening, the risk of additional heavy rain will continue through Thursday. The river flood threat will continue as runoff continues. Sally will merge with a frontal boundary on Friday as it pulls away to the northeast. The front moves south across the area on Friday with isolated to scattered showers and thunderstorms ahead of the front. Some drier and cooler air can be expected in the wake of the front for the weekend. /13 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 && .MOB WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
