Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Mobile AL
1045 PM CDT Wed Oct 27 2021

.NEAR TERM /Now Through Friday/...A negatively tilted longwave trof
over the central states undergoes an unusual evolution and forms a
large upper low centered over the Ohio/Mississippi River confluence
on Thursday which then progresses slowly eastward through Friday.  An
associated surface low located just east of the southern portion of
the upper trof occludes tonight near the Missouri/Arkansas border
and follows the evolving upper low to near the Ohio/Mississippi
River confluence on Thursday.  A warm front currently extends from
the coast of the western Florida panhandle into Baldwin county
Alabama where it intersects a pre-frontal trof extending from the
surface low down into coastal Alabama. A cold front follows
behind the pre-frontal trof and extends from the surface low into
extreme southeast Louisiana. An area of strong to potentially
severe storms oriented generally along the pre-frontal trof
sweeps rapidly through the forecast area with the advancing pre-
frontal trof, exiting east of the area potentially as early as 7z,
with the cold front following a few hours later. The warm front
maintains a general southeast-northwest orientation meanwhile and
is the most important limiting factor for severe weather
"ingredients" in this event given plenty of favorable deep layer
shear and strong deep layer lift shifting eastward across the
area. SBCAPE values within the warm sector will primarily range
from 500-1000 J/kg although some CAMS (Convection Allowing Models)
suggest values around 1500 J/kg are possible near the coast. The
Storm Prediction Center's Slight Risk of severe area does a great
job of delineating where the better instability will be present
within the warm section with this event, with the Slight Risk area
encompassing extreme southwest Alabama eastward across the
western Florida panhandle and a small portion of south central
Alabama. Damaging wind gusts look to be the primary threat from
severe storms that develop with a few tornadoes as well. Large
hail to a quarter inch is possible.

Dry conditions will prevail on Thursday except for some wrap
around precipitation which will affect interior southeast
Mississippi and interior southwest Alabama in the afternoon. For
Friday, have gone with mainly slight chance pops for the entire
area mainly due to a series of shortwaves which move across the
area combined with sufficient moisture seen in model soundings.
Lows tonight range from the upper 50s to lower 60s along and west
of I-65 with lower to upper 60s east of I-65. Lows Thursday night
will be cooler and range from the lower 50s inland to the mid 50s
at the coast. Highs on Thursday range from the upper 60s to lower
70s along and west of I-65 while further to the east mid to upper
70s are expected. Highs on Friday continue with the cooling trend
and range from the upper 50s to lower 60s over much of the
interior area to the mid/upper 60s at the coast. A High Risk of
rip currents is in effect through Friday night, and a High Surf
Warning is in effect through 7 pm Friday for large breaking waves
up to around 8 feet. A Coastal Flood Advisory is in effect until
8 am Thursday for the potential of minor coastal flooding. A Wind
Advisory is in effect until 7 pm Thursday for the entire forecast
area due to the potential of frequent gusts of 30 to 35 mph. /29
