Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Mobile AL
128 PM CDT Wed May 27 2020

.NEAR TERM /Now Through Thursday/...An upper low remains centered
near the Oklahoma/Arkansas border through tonight then breaks
down to an open wave on Thursday and begins to become absorbed
into an upper trof which amplifies while advancing from the
Northern Plains towards the Great Lakes region.  A weak surface
trof which currently extends from near the coast of the western
Florida panhandle to interior southeast Mississippi will shift
slowly northward through the day, moving north of the forecast
area this evening. A series of vigorous shortwaves rotating
around the eastern portion of the upper low along with the
presence of the weak surface trof will result in a region of
moderate deep layer lift over the forecast area which gradually
shifts northward out of the area early this evening. MLCAPE values
of 2000-2500 J/kg will be present over the area this afternoon
while dry air aloft, seen mainly in the 750-400 mb layer, will
flow into the area. This results in DCAPE values near 1000 J/kg
which will continue to support a potential of mainly pulse type
severe convection with damaging wind gusts and possibly large
hail. With the loss of daytime heating and the best deep layer
lift shifting north of the forecast area, expect that the
potential for severe storm development to shift to mainly over
interior areas early this evening before ending, although cannot
rule out severe storm development elsewhere given dry air present
aloft. For the rest of this afternoon, will have categorical pops
for most of the area then primarily chance to good chance pops
follow for this evening as the bulk of the convection shifts north
of the area. Dry conditions develop overnight, then isolated
convection is expected on Thursday as a surface ridge over the
northern Gulf gradually strengthens and promotes a light
southwesterly surface flow over the forecast area. While not as
pronounced as is the case this afternoon, some relatively dry mid
level air will be in place over the area on Thursday which could
allow for a few strong storms to occur. Lows tonight range from
the mid 60s inland to the lower 70s at the coast, then highs on
Thursday will be mostly in the upper 80s. A high rip current risk
for the beach areas expired at 1 pm, and a moderate risk is now in
effect through Thursday. /29

&&

.AVIATION...
18Z issuance...Showers and thunderstorms, some severe, over the
area will gradually shift north of the area through this evening.
Isolated showers and storms are expected to redevelop by late
Thursday morning. VFR conditions prevail outside of the convection
through this evening while with the stronger storms IFR conditions
can be expected. Patchy fog will develop late tonight with IFR to
MVFR conditions then improve to VFR conditions areawide Thursday
morning. Outside of the convection, southeasterly winds 5 to 10
knots this afternoon become light southerly tonight with a
southwesterly flow near 5 knots expected Thursday morning. /29
