Area Forecast Discussion...UPDATED
National Weather Service Mobile AL
301 AM CDT Tue Jun 22 2021

.NEAR TERM UPDATE /Now Through Wednesday/...Conditions will
remain favorable for additional showers and thunderstorms to
develop through the remainder of the overnight hours and into the
day today as periodic shortwaves translate over our region on the
base of a larger scale trough encompassing much of the east
central CONUS. Regional radar and satellite imagery continues to
show a large area of showers with a few embedded thunderstorms
spreading eastward across the Florida Panhandle in association
with ascent ahead of a shortwave trough within a very deeply moist
(PWAT 2-2.25") environment across this portion of our region.
Some storms have been efficient rainfall producers with rainfall
rates around or perhaps even exceeding 2"/hr in some cases.
Therefore, flash flooding will continue to be a concern overnight
and will be monitored.

A surface front is also forecast to sag southward into our
forecast area during the day today. The combination of the deep
moisture, increased ascent, and persistent instability will aid in
the continued development of numerous to widespread showers and
thunderstorms across much of our area through the afternoon. The
stronger storms will be efficient rainfall producers and could
quickly produce 1-2" in a short period of time. The general
forecast calls for an additional 2-4" of rain near the coast
through this afternoon, but there could be localized higher
amounts. Soils will remain quite saturated near the coast
(especially after the rains from TS Claudette and the showers and
storms overnight), so the Flash Flood Watch will continue for
Stone MS, George MS, Mobile AL, Baldwin AL, Escambia FL, Santa
Rosa FL, and Okaloosa, FL counties until 7 PM this evening.

The surface boundary will linger over the Gulf coast through
Wednesday, keeping scattered showers and thunderstorms in the
forecast for the local area. Coverage is expected to decrease
somewhat tonight (along with PWATs), but showers and storms will
ramp back up through the day on Wednesday. However, not expecting
as widespread of coverage like tonight and earlier this week as
the upper ridge begins to build into the Deep South from the west.

High today are expected to be in the lower to mid 80s, with lows
generally in the upper 60s to around 70 degrees inland. Near the
coast, lows will be in the lower to mid 70s. Expecting slightly
warmer temperatures Wednesday afternoon, in the mid to upper 80s.
Lastly, the HIGH RISK of rip currents remains in effect through
today, followed by a MODERATE RISK tonight. /21/26

.PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 1242 AM CDT Tue Jun 22 2021/

AVIATION...
06Z issuance...An active weather period continues across the
region through Tuesday evening as numerous to widespread
SHRA/TSRA spread overhead during the period. Ceilings gradually
lower to MVFR levels late tonight into Tuesday, though localized
IFR visibility reductions and gusty winds due to heavy rain will
be possible near the heavier convection that develops. /21

PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 1118 PM CDT Mon Jun 21 2021/

NEAR TERM UPDATE...Quick update to talk a little about the Flash
Flood Watch that was issued for coastal portions of the region
through early Tuesday evening. Regional radar and satellite
imagery shows a large area of showers with a few embedded
thunderstorms developing and spreading across our coastal zones
this evening in association with ascent ahead of a shortwave
trough within a very deeply moist (PWAT 2-2.25") environment
across this portion of our region. Some storms have been efficient
rainfall producers with rainfall rates around or perhaps even
exceeding 2"/hr in some cases.

Conditions will remain favorable for additional showers and
thunderstorms to develop through the overnight hours and into the
day Tuesday as periodic shortwaves translate over our region on
the base of a larger scale trough encompassing much of the east
central CONUS. A surface front is also forecast to sag southward
into our forecast area during the day Tuesday. The combination of
the deep moisture, increased ascent, and persistent instability
will aid in the continued development of numerous to widespread
showers and thunderstorms across much of our area through Tuesday
afternoon. The stronger storms will be efficient rainfall
producers and could quickly produce 1-2" in a short period of
time. The general forecast calls for an additional 2-4" of rain
near the coast through Tuesday afternoon, but there could be
localized higher amounts. Soils remain quite saturated near the
coast, so we have opted to issue a Flash Flood Watch for Stone MS,
George MS, Mobile AL, Baldwin AL, Escambia FL, Santa Rosa FL, and
Okaloosa, FL counties until 7 PM Tuesday. /21
