Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Mobile AL
450 AM CDT Mon Mar 30 2020

.NEAR TERM UPDATE /Now Through Tuesday/...30.06Z Surface analysis
shows a front draped just off the central Gulf coast with a cooler
and drier air-mass in place. Unfortunately, this "less humid"
weather will not last as the front begins to ease slowly northward
as a warm, front today. Aloft, a flat ridge centered over the
central Gulf supports a zonal west to east flow atop the area
today with rain-free conditions. The next rain maker comes late
tonight into Tuesday. A mid-level impulse in the southern stream
over the central plains today ejects eastward tonight, approaching
the Mid-South by daybreak Tuesday. Concentrated height falls allows
for surface pressures to lower causing a frontal wave of surface low
pressure to become better defined as it tracks east across central
MS and AL Tuesday morning. In advance of the mid-level impulse,
surface front and low, an increasingly diffluent flow operating on
deeper Gulf moisture and increased layer ascent from the passage of
a 120 to 130 kt speed max at high levels just to our north leads to
increased coverage of showers and storms as the evolving warm sector
undergoes destabilization. 0-6 km bulk shear magnitudes increase to
50 to 70 knots and with the passage of a modest H85 jet streak from
35 to 45 knots, the stage is set for strong to severe storms perhaps
beginning as early as near daybreak Tuesday over interior southeast
MS before spreading east through the remainder of the morning.
Forecast soundings show veering low levels beneath strengthening
westerly flow with height, supportive of organized storm updrafts,
including supercells. In addition to damaging straight line wind
gusts with the stronger storms, a tornado risk could develop as
well. The Storm Prediction Center has outlooked the local area
Tuesday for a slight risk of severe storms over portions of interior
southeast MS eastward to the interior of southwest/southcentral AL.
A marginal risk is outlooked over the Gulf coastal counties. The
severe weather threat looks to taper off early afternoon over the
eastern zones with any lingering convection there before moving out
as the low moves quickly east over GA and SC.

Highs mostly in the lower to mid 80s today. Lows Monday night will
be warm in the presence of increasing moisture ranging from near 70
at the coast to lower to mid 60s inland. Highs Tuesday in the upper
70s to lower 80s. /10/03

&&

.SHORT TERM /Tuesday night Through Wednesday night/...An upper
trof over the eastern states moves off into the western Atlantic
through Wednesday morning and will be followed by an upper ridge
which builds from the Plains into the eastern states through
Wednesday night. A surface low associated with the upper trof will
be located near coastal South Carolina early Tuesday evening with
a trailing cold front which extends back westward to across the
marine portion of the forecast area. As the front moves well off
into the Gulf, much drier and cooler air flows into the region and
remains in place during the remainder of the period as a surface
ridge builds into the eastern states. Have continued with a dry
forecast through Wednesday night. Lows Tuesday night range from
the mid 40s well inland to the lower 50s at the coast and lows
Wednesday night will be similar. Highs on Wednesday range from the
upper 60s well inland to the lower 70s elsewhere. A moderate risk
of rip currents is expected Tuesday night through Wednesday then
a low risk follows for Wednesday night. /29

&&

.EXTENDED TERM /Thursday Through Sunday/...Ridging both at surface
and aloft prevails on Thursday, maintaining the dry and relatively
mild conditions. By Thursday night, the ridging slides off to the
east of the forecast area, allowing slight moisture return from off
of the Gulf of Mexico to begin. Nearly zonal flow aloft Friday and
Saturday, bringing a series of weak upper level disturbances east
across the area. The combination of the increasing low level
moisture and the weak impulses aloft will support isolated to low-
end chances for showers Friday and Saturday, perhaps even lasting
into Sunday. Models are hinting however at renewed ridging aloft on
Sunday, and this may limit rain chances somewhat then, but a little
too early to tell for sure. A slight warming trend returns Thursday
through the weekend, but not nearly as extreme as it was prior to
Tuesday's cold front thanks to persistent cloud cover, scattered
showers, and a lack of strong upper ridging and associated deep-
layer subsidence. High temps reach the upper 70s to lower 80s (over
the interior) each afternoon and lows dipping into the upper 50s
inland to low 60s each night, with the warmer temps along the coast.
/12

&&

.MARINE...Main impacts to commercial and recreational boating
interests comes Tuesday. A moderate to strong southwest to westerly
flow and building seas to develop on Tuesday ahead of an approaching
low pressure system and associated cold front. Winds, waves and seas
locally higher in and near storms Tuesday. A moderate to strong
offshore flow sets up Tuesday night in the wake of the frontal
passage with seas continuing to build. Small craft advisories are in
effect for southern Mobile Bay, adjacent MS Sound waters and over
the open Gulf waters Tuesday through Mid-morning Wednesday morning.
