What forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this small craft advisory went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS Mobile, AL wrote its last area forecast discussion before this small craft advisory went out at Jan 7, 11:13 PM CST, 5 hours earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Jan 7, 11:13 PM CST, 5 hours before
Area Forecast Discussion...UPDATED National Weather Service Mobile AL 1113 PM CST Tue Jan 7 2020 .DISCUSSION...Updated for latest aviation discussion below. && .AVIATION... 06Z issuance...Sky and vsby ok in the near term with VFR conditions. Light northwest winds remain light while turning more from the southeast Wednesday afternoon. /10 && .PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 913 PM CST Tue Jan 7 2020/ DISCUSSION...Updated for latest marine discussion below. MARINE...The forecast remains on track so far this evening. Light to moderate northerly winds will continue overnight. In addition, operators of small craft should exercise caution over the open Gulf waters during this time. Light to moderate winds will gradually shift to be easterly by tomorrow afternoon. A moderate to strong east to southeast flow is then expected to develop late Wednesday and persist through late Friday. Thus, a Small Craft Advisory will likely be needed for the open Gulf waters beginning tomorrow night due to these increased winds as well as building seas. /26 PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 527 PM CST Tue Jan 7 2020/ DISCUSSION...Updated for latest aviation discussion below. AVIATION... 00Z issuance...Sky and vsby ok in the near term with VFR conditions. Northwest winds becoming light this evening. /10 PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 402 PM CST Tue Jan 7 2020/ NEAR TERM /Now Through Wednesday/...A large upper trough over the eastern conus will move east over the western Atlantic, while a broad, very weak upper ridge over the southern plains shifts eastward over our area on Wednesday. Surface high pressure to our west, currently centered over east Texas, will also move eastward reaching our forecast area by late tonight and then shifting east of our area on Wednesday. As a result, the dry and cool conditions will continue through midweek. Low temperatures tonight will be 3 to 7 degrees below normal, ranging from 30 to 35 degrees most locations, with the exception of the upper 30s to lower along the beaches. Plenty of sunshine will allow the high temperatures to be 2 to 6 degrees above normal, ranging from 62 to 66 degrees. /22 SHORT TERM /Wednesday night Through Friday night/...Wednesday and Thursday will be dry as surface high pressure moves across our area. By Thursday night into Friday, a period of return flow ahead of the next system. Mid to upper level synoptic flow will be driven by an expansive upper ridge centered over the Bahamas/Western Atlantic. To our west, a deep longwave trough will dig into the southern plains. This trough will become the major player for Saturdays weather. Over our area, southwesterly winds aloft between the trough and strengthening ridge will lead to steady moisture return from the Gulf as several shortwaves move through the flow. At the surface, high pressure continues to build off the Mid-Atlantic coast leading to surface southerly flow. This will allow for low-level moisture to surge northward behind an advancing warm front. The presence of increasing moisture and weak disturbances aloft will lead to increasing rain chances beginning late Thursday night. The majority of the precip will be focused west of I-65 where isentropic upglide will be slightly stronger. By Friday and Friday night, the advancing warm front will begin to move inland. Showers and storms will continue to increase in coverage as the isentropic upglide increases. As the warm front moves northward, a few thunderstorms could be possible as instability begins to increase. With ML-CAPE values ranging around 500 J/KG, a frontal boundary and deep layer shear of 35 to 40 knots present, storms will need to be monitored for a possible organization and a severe potential. Storms will continue through the night Friday with the main rain axis shifting northward with the warm front. We will also have to monitor the potential for advection fog as warm moist air moves over the cooler nearshore shelf waters and bays. It is still a little too early to nail down the timing on any fog potential but will likely be added to the grids in a later package. Temperatures will be on the steady rise Wednesday night through Friday night. Lows Wednesday night will range from the upper 40s along the coast to upper 30s inland. By Thursday and Friday temperatures will return to the 60s for lows and low 70s for highs as moisture returns to the area. Highs will be mitigated by increasing cloud coverage Thursday and Friday. BB/03 LONG TERM /Saturday Through Tuesday/...Active weather pattern will begin on Saturday with a possible multi-hazard significant weather event. This active will continue through the weekend and into the beginning of next week as several storm systems move into the weekend. Like yesterday, I plan to break up the forecast discussions into sections given the multiple hazards possibly at play. Synoptic...Unfortunately model guidance continues to paint a rough picture for Saturday as the aforementioned upper trough digs into the Arklatex region Saturday. A stout mid to upper jet of 100-120 knots at 500mb will round the base and eject over the Mid- Mississippi and Southeast regions on Saturday. As this jet ejects, the trough will take on a negative tilt and in response quick surface cyclogenesis will occur over the Mid-Mississippi valley. The surface low will then proceed to track northeast into western Tennessee as it deepens. An adjacent cold front will quickly surge southeast into our area during the day Saturday. Given the strong forcing for ascent over a very moist area with PWATS ranging from 1.5 to 2 inches, confidence in heavy rain and the potential for severe storms is growing. For more information on the severe potential see the severe section below. By Saturday night, the trough will begin to lift out of our area as the cold front stalls over the central Gulf. Sunday appears to be the only clear day in the long term as the upper level high is stunted to our southeast. Unfortunately, the high makes a strong rebound as southwesterly flow aloft quickly returns and the surface front surges back north over our area. Showers and storms will return with the boundary as several shortwaves move through the flow aloft. These shortwaves will likely lead to several rounds of rain through the beginning of next week. Precip could be heavy at times as PWAT values continue to range around 1.5 to 2 inches. Temperatures will remain mild through the extended forecast with lows near 60 and highs in the low 70s. BB/03 Severe...As mentioned above, confidence in the severe potential from the deep upper trough on Saturday is increasing. As a result, the SPC has placed the whole area under a 30% risk for Day 5. Models continue to highlight a large warm sector across most of Alabama on saturday with ML-Cape values likely increasing to around 1000 J/KG. The main caveat to this would be any ongoing storms in the warm sector limiting the amount of instability. The second main caveat will be that the bulk of the forcing will be displaced to our northwest and timing is slightly different with the GFS model with more of a mid-morning event vs the Euro being late afternoon event. The forcing being off to our northwest could lead to storms struggling in the highly sheared environment; however, it could also lead to a more discreet storm mode. All of these details are still way too far out to determine and will most certainly change over the coming days. Even with that in mind, a stout 55 to 70 knot 850 mb jet will strengthen over the warm sector and Bulk shear values increasing to 50 to 60 Knots will lead to likely organized mixed storm modes. A QLCS will also likely develop along and just ahead of the cold front. Given the low level jet, low level hodographs will likely be long and curved leading to a threat of damaging winds and tornadoes. We will have to continue to monitor this potential throughout the week. BB/03 Hydrology...Minor flooding continues for several rivers in southeast Mississippi and Southwest Alabama. Most rivers will be cresting within the next day or so; however, the upcoming pattern is supportive of several rounds of rain through next week. PWAT values will range from 1.5 to 2 inches through the weekend leading to potentially heavy rainfall over already saturated grounds. Several of our mainstream rivers are already swollen and any heavy precip within the basins could lead to continued flooding. We will have to monitor the rivers closely as the details become clearer. 03/BB MARINE...A light to moderate northerly wind flow will shift to the northeast and decrease as high pressure builds in from the west. A moderate to strong east to southeast flow is expected to develop late Wednesday through late Friday as high pressure shifts east to the eastern seaboard. A moderate to strong southerly flow can be expected by early Saturday ahead of another cold front approaching from the west. In the wake of the front a moderate west to northwest flow can be expected late Saturday into Sunday. /22 && .MOB WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... AL...None. FL...None. MS...None.
