Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Mobile AL
345 PM CDT Wed Jul 1 2020

.NEAR TERM UPDATE /Now Through Thursday/...The axis of an upper trof
which extends from near the mid Mississippi River valley to the
Virginias (and to an upper low over the extreme northeast states)
shifts southward through Thursday into the forecast area. A
surface low is currently located near the Kansas/Oklahoma border
with a frontal boundary extending eastward across Missouri. With
the southward progression of the upper trof, the frontal boundary
follows suite and shifts southward to extend across northern
Mississippi and northern Alabama by Thursday. The upper trof
pattern has set up a northwesterly steering flow over the region
such that convection that develops along the frontal boundary will
be favored to progress southward/southeastward in the general
direction towards the forecast area. The current satellite loop
shows two convective complexes have formed within this regime, one
of which has weakened over the area and produced an outflow
boundary while another is actively ongoing in Missouri. The
outflow boundary has advanced into the northern portion of the
forecast area and expect scattered to numerous convective
development through the afternoon hours in response to this
feature and also aided by a weak sea breeze. MLCAPE values are
expected to be near 2000 J/kg in a fairly moist environment with
precipitable water values near 2.0 inches and wet bulb zero values
near 13.5 kft. 0-6 km bulk shear values look low, 20 knots at
best, so am expecting the primary initiating mechanism for
stronger storms to be from precipitation loading.

The attention now turns to what will transpire with the
convective complex over Missouri along with the southward
progressing upper trof and frontal boundary. This convective
complex appears to have already formed another outflow boundary
which is expected to progresses roughly southward. While not
handled particularly well by high resolution guidance or
Convection Allowing Models (CAMS), the expectation is that this
next outflow boundary will follow a similar evolution to the
current one and continue southward into the area late tonight.
Complicating this pattern is that yet another convective complex
may develop on the frontal boundary advancing into northern
Mississippi/Alabama. All in all, there look to be at least a few
possible scenarios for convective development for Thursday which
in turn supports going with higher pops, and have gone with likely
to categorical pops for nearly the entire area. A moist
environment remains in place over the area on Thursday with
precipitable water values near 2.0 inches, and wet bulb zero
values are expected to trend higher to around 14 kft. 0-6 km bulk
shear values look to be less than 20 knots, so while MLCAPE values
near 2500 J/kg are indicated this environment looks more
supportive of general thunderstorms with an occasional strong
storm possible. Lows tonight range from the lower 70s inland to
the upper 70s at the coast. Highs on Thursday range from the mid
80s well inland, such as near Highway 84 to upper 80s/lower 90s
elsewhere. Heat index values this afternoon will be around 105 in
some locations, then look remain in a range of 95 to around 105 on
Thursday. A low risk of rip currents is expected through
Thursday. /29

&&

.SHORT TERM /Thursday night Through Saturday night/...An upper
level trough over the northeastern CONUS will continue to dig
south, with a section of this trough digging from northeast to
southwest over the southeastern CONUS through late week. A slow-
moving surface front will also progress southward over the
southeastern CONUS through Saturday morning before stalling near
the northern Gulf coast through Saturday night. The aforementioned
pattern will lead to continued unsettled and wet weather through
the short term period, albeit still somewhat diurnal. Scattered
showers and storms are likely during the overnight hours, with
increasing chances during the afternoon each day. PWATs are shown
to be just under 2 inches to around 2.3 inches through Saturday
night, leading to forecast storm total rainfall ranging from
0.50-1.5 inches. Thus, The Weather Prediction Center has outlooked
southeast Mississippi, southwest and south-central Alabama, as
well as the western Florida Panhandle in a marginal risk for
excessive rainfall Thursday and Friday. In addition, MLCAPE values
between 1000-2000 J/kg in the afternoon and between 500-800 J/kg
during the nighttime will keep the potential for embedded
thunderstorms through the short term as well.

Warm and muggy conditions will comprise the short term, with high
temperatures Friday and Saturday afternoons a touch cooler, in
the mid to upper 80s, due to cloud cover. Although, a few spots
could reach 90 degrees Friday afternoon. Meanwhile, overnight lows
Thursday night through Saturday night will continue to be warm.
Temperatures are expected to only dip into the lower to mid 70s
north of I-10 and in the mid to upper 70s south. Lastly, there is
a LOW RISK of rip currents through Saturday night. /26

&&

.EXTENDED TERM /Sunday Through Wednesday/...An upper level low is
expected to form over the southeastern CONUS and persist through
much of the extended term. Meanwhile, upper level high pressure
will build over the eastern Gulf of Mexico into midweek next week.
At the surface, the front that stalled close to the northern Gulf
coast will weaken as low pressure forms over the Deep South. This
low will eventually progress over South Carolina by Tuesday
morning and then move off over the Atlantic by midweek. By this
time, high pressure is expected to build over the eastern Gulf of
Mexico. Model PWATs are shown to be right around 2 inches to about
2.3 inches through much of extended period, with exception of
Tuesday where values are shown to be less (around 1.5-1.8 inches).
Thus, the unsettled and wet pattern will persist through early
next week. However, with PWATs decreasing into midweek, chances
for showers and storms could start to decrease by this time. This
will continue to be monitored.

Continued warm and muggy conditions are expected through midweek
next week. High temperatures will be in the mid to upper 80s
Sunday through Tuesday afternoons, with some areas along and south
of I-10 potentially reaching 90 degrees by Wednesday afternoon.
Lows Sunday through Tuesday nights will likely be in the lower to
mid 70s north of I-10 and in the mid to upper 70s south. /26
