Area Forecast Discussion

348 PM CDT Sun Jun 6 2021

.NEAR TERM UPDATE /Now Through Monday/...An upper trof over the southern
and central Plains advances northeastward somewhat and weakens
slightly through Monday. An upper ridge initially in place from
the Florida peninsula to the Carolinas then to the Great Lakes
remains over the Florida peninsula area while the remainder of the
upper trof moves further off to the north. A broad surface ridge
remains in place from the western Atlantic into the eastern states
and maintains a moist southerly flow over the forecast area
through Monday. Rather abundant deep layer moisture currently in
place over the area with precipitable water values of 1.8-2.2
inches, with the "lower" values over the eastern portion of the
area likely due to some subtle fringe effects from the upper ridge
off to the east. A region of drier deep layer air, with
precipitable water values of 1.3-1.5 inches, was noted over the
northwestern Gulf and being drawn into eastern Texas by the upper
trof. As the upper trof advances northeastward somewhat, the
abundant deep layer moisture over the forecast area likewise
shifts eastward to be mainly over the eastern and central portions
of the area while the region of drier deep layer air advances
into Mississippi and southeast Louisiana. This east-west gradient
in deep layer moisture content over the forecast area breaks down
on Monday as the upper trof weakens slightly while continuing to
lift northeastward somewhat, with precipitable water values
ranging from 1.7-1.8 inches by late Monday afternoon. The
trajectory of a series of shortwaves moving across the region is
also displaced eastward by the movement of the upper trof, which
along with the deep layer moisture trends will affect placement
and trends of where the best rainfall amounts are expected
through Monday. Through this evening, expect the showers and
storms affecting southeast Mississippi and extreme southwestern
Alabama to spread eastward, and we have expanded the Flash Flood
Watch currently in effect to include Monroe and Baldwin counties.
Rainfall totals in the Watch area look to typically range from 2
to 5 inches. The Flash Flood Watch will be in effect until 1 am,
after which the noted trends in deep layer moisture/shortwaves
result in lower rainfall amounts overnight. We will need to
continue to monitor potential rainfall amounts on Monday, but at
this point additional rainfall amounts on that day look to range
from 0.20-0.80 inches, seen to be insufficient to warrant
continuation of the Flash Flood Watch. Will have categorical pops
over much of the area this afternoon with likely to categorical
pops this evening, then diminishing overnight. While rainfall
amounts will be less on Monday, coverage will be sufficient to
support categorical pops over the entire area on Monday. There is
a marginal risk of severe thunderstorm development through this
evening over southeast Mississippi and southwestern Alabama due
to MLCAPE values up to 2000 J/kg and 0-3 km helicity values of
100-150 m2/s2. MLCAPE values of 1000-1500 J/kg are expected on
Monday but shear values will be lower with 0-3 km helicity 75
m2/s2 or less. At least point am not expecting severe storm
development on Monday but some strong storms could occur.  Lows
tonight range from the upper 60s to lower 70s along and west of
I-65 with lower to mid 70s east of I-65. Highs on Monday will be
mostly in the mid 80s. A low risk of rip currents is expected
through the period. /29

.SHORT TERM /Monday night Through Wednesday night/...Upper level
trough continues to shift northeast across the central into
northern U.S. Monday night into Tuesday, gradually losing
definition leaving weak, chaotic flow in its wake. At the surface,
high pressure continues to nose west across the Atlantic into the
southeastern U.S. with southeasterly to southerly winds remaining
across our region through Wednesday night. With the loss of our
upper level low/trough, general forcing for ascent will weaken
over the region. Despite this, given ample daytime heating we
should have no problem touching convective temperatures during
peak heating Tuesday and Wednesday and as such expect generally
isolated to scattered convective coverage. PWATs remain high in
the 1.75 to 2.00 inch range, and heavy rainfall rates could occur
in any storms. Given the more limited coverage in convection,
temperatures should be able to rise higher than they have the last
few days. Expect overnight lows generally in the lower 70's, with
daytime highs in the middle to upper 80's, with lower 90's working
their way into the forecast over south-central AL Wednesday. A
MODERATE risk for rip currents remains in place for the period. MM/25

&&

.EXTENDED TERM /Thursday Through Sunday/...A benign upper level
pattern exists throughout the extended period Thursday through
Sunday for our region. Weak flow aloft with some anticyclonic
wave breaking evident over the western U.S. doesn't do much to
deter general large scale upper level ridging over much of the
central and eastern CONUS. Perhaps with the aforementioned wave
break a lobe of the ejecting upper level trough over the far
northwestern U.S. can slip into the midwestern U.S. but details in
how that evolves are still up in the air (no pun intended).
Regardless, it seems we are generally going to see a rise in
temperatures as we move throughout the week into the weekend.
Middle to upper 80's and some lower 90's becomes upper 80's to
lower 90's by the weekend. Overnight lows don't cool off much,
with perhaps some upper 60's inland and lower 70's for most other
locations each night. Isolated to scattered showers and storms may
return to the forecast by the weekend. MM/25

&&

.MARINE...A light to moderate southerly flow continues through the
period.  Will have Small Craft Exercise Caution (SCEC) conditions
over the entire marine area this evening for winds of 15 to near 20
knots which diminish later tonight.  SCEC conditions may redevelop
well offshore Monday morning, but then subside by the afternoon.
