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

.NEAR TERM UPDATE /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

&&

.SHORT TERM /Thursday Night Through Saturday Night/...Rain
chances remain in the forecast through Saturday before the area
begins to dry out. An upper level low opens up on Thursday
afternoon/evening and lifts northeast into the Midwest, eventually
becoming absorbed by the approaching upper level trough diving
across the Midwest on Friday. Meanwhile, an upper level ridge
builds into the Southwest on the backside of the trough through
the remainder of the period.

The combination of the trough lifting off to the northeast, decent
instability, and deep southerly flow will allow showers and storms
to remain in the forecast through the overnight hours on Thursday
and into the day on Friday. Modeled precipitable water values
increase to 1.7-2.0 inches through the day on Friday, predominantly
across the eastern half of the area where we have likely POPs on
Friday afternoon. Better chances for strong storms remain north of
the area, closer to the upper level jet swinging through the region,
but we cannot rule out a strong storm in our area on Friday.

Somewhat drier air begins to work its way into the northwestern
portion of the area late Friday night after midnight. That said,
modeled precipitable water values remain high to the south and east
of I-65 through Saturday afternoon. Coverage of showers and a few
storms will be much less on Saturday afternoon, but remain possible
across south central Alabama and northwest Florida as a front passes
across the area. In the wake of the front, expect a dry forecast.

Overnight temperatures will range from the 60s inland to 70s right
along the coast each night. Highs will top out in the mid to upper
80s on Friday afternoon. By Saturday afternoon, expect temperatures
in the upper 80s across much of the area with mid to low 80s north
of the Highway 84 corridor. A MODERATE risk of rip currents is
expected through Thursday night before becoming LOW through the
weekend. 07/mb

&&

.EXTENDED TERM /Sunday Through Wednesday/...The extended forecast
will by dry and hot. An upper level ridge slowly moves east across
the central portion of the CONUS over the weekend and into next
week. As the ridge aloft builds into the Plains, it will kick the
upper level trough (mentioned in the short term) further off to the
east. By mid-week, the ridge aloft will meander into the Midwest and
Southeast as an upper level trough slides down the West Coast.
Meanwhile, a surface high and low level ridge build into the Midwest
then Southeast early in the work week. This surface high eventually
pushes into the western Atlantic by mid-week, which would allow
surface winds to turn southerly and moisture to begin slowly
streaming back into the area. Prior to that, subsidence beneath the
ridge aloft and a northerly flow at the surface (in the wake of the
front) will keep the forecast dry and hot through the extended
period. Daytime highs will soar into the low 90s each afternoon next
week. 07/mb

&&

.MARINE...A light to occasionally moderate southerly flow continues
over the marine area through Friday with little change in seas.  A
weak cold front approaches from the north on Friday and moves
through the marine area Friday night, with a light northerly flow
in the wake of the front. /29
