BBWhat forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this river flood warning 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 river flood warning went out at Aug 24, 6:44 AM CDT, 3 hours 25 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Aug 24, 6:44 AM CDT, 3 hours 25 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Mobile AL 644 AM CDT Wed Aug 24 2022 .AVIATION... 12Z issuance...General VFR conditions were noted across the forecast area at 11z, except for LIFR/IFR CIGS over inland southeast Mississippi and west. With southerly low level winds indicated on area model and physical soundings, this low stratus deck is expected to continue to spread north. Areas along the coast may see drops in CIGS to low end MVFR levels as isolated rain showers over the northern Gulf move inland. Am also expecting the coverage of showers and thunderstorms to increase today, with impacts to operations likely as conditions drop into low end MVFR/IFR levels possible. This activity will decrease tonight, but is expected to continue into the overnight hours. Light northerly winds are expected to rise to 5 to 10 knots today, shifting to easterly in the process. Winds will lighten overnight. /16 && .PREV DISCUSSION... /issued Issued by National Weather Service New Orleans LA/ NEAR TERM...Big concern today is potential for heavy rain. Almost the entire CWA is under a Slight Risk for excessive rainfall with a Moderate Risk just to the northwest across east-central MS. A low level jet is forecast to develop over southern MS and portions of southeast LA. This would nose into west-central AL and portions of southeast and east-central MS providing rather strong low level convergence. At the same time the northern stream Jet will be rounding the base of the trough across the AR/LA border and then back to the east-northeast over AL, GA, eastern TN, and the Carolina's. This will lead to very impressive upper level diffluence, especially over areas along and west of the AL/MS border. Moisture will be Grade A prime over the area today. LIX sounding last night, although likely a little contaminated measured a PW of 2.48" but even GOES16 TPW was measuring around 2.39" across southwestern MS and northeast LA late last night. Conditionally unstable to even moderate instability will be in place leading to thunderstorms and not just showers and a few embedded thunderstorms. Warm mid level temps also in place will continue to lead to warm rain processes and with the other features in place heavy rain is likely especially near the nose of that weak low level jet. Due to that and the Moderate Risk for excessive rainfall we have issued a Flood Watch for Perry, Greene, and Choctaw counties until this evening. It may need to be extended but we will let the daytime make that decision after seeing what occurs today. /CAB/ SHORT TERM...Thursday and Friday we will continue to be in this wet pattern. The trough over the region on Wednesday will still be over the area continuing to provide support to allow for a few more days of numerous to widespread convection. The slight change is that the trough axis will slowly be working east and could move east of the CWA overnight Thursday and that may help to push some of the heavier rain to the east on Friday. However, that will not be the case for Thursday. The trough axis will be directly over the north-central Gulf. In the low levels there are indications of a weak low level jet or at least better low level convergence will set up across southeastern MS and along the AL/MS border. Aloft we will be under the RRQ of a rather decent jet for this time of the year. This will provide very favorable divergence aloft and that will enhance the rainfall potential. Combine that with the low level convergence, deep moisture (PWs of around 2.25"), low level moisture continuing to pump in from the Gulf, mid level temps of -5 to -6 C, and we have the ingredients still in place for efficient warm rain process. As for Friday, again that trough axis may be over the eastern fringes of the CWA and slightly drier air under weak northerly flow looks like it will be pushing in. This should really lead to a reduction in coverage of storms but it will still be a wet day for most if not all of the area. /CAB/ LONG TERM...Heading into the weekend and next week we should see a slight break in the rain but rain chances will start to increase again next week. On Saturday short wave ridging will take place over the Lower MS Valley and it will continue to slowly slide east across the southeastern CONUS Saturday night and Sunday. The s/w ridging should increase the subsidence a little but with tropical moisture still in place and light winds, seabreeze activity should easily develop Saturday and then slowly drift north. On Sunday the ridge may be far enough east while at the same time another short wave will be moving across the Upper and Mid MS Valley and likely put the region back under southwest flow. /CAB/ MARINE...High pressure will remain in control across the northeastern Gulf and southeastern US. It will remain centered northwest of the coastal waters and this will maintain a light easterly to southeasterly wind. Seas will also be rather benign and likely below 3 feet. Locally higher winds and seas are expected with thunderstorms and a few waterspouts will be possible if not likely. /CAB/ AVIATION...06Z issuance...Mostly MVFR to VFR conditions across the area as light to occasionally moderate rain moves east of I-65 and eventually east of the area over the next few hours. Some IFR ceilings will likely develop across southeastern Mississippi and into interior southwestern Alabama overnight and obs across Mississippi show this area of lower stratus has already begun to settle in. Winds will be light out of the east to southeast throughout the period. By the morning, showers and storms will quickly develop across the area and overspread with MVFR ceilings and visbys. Some temporary reductions in visbys and ceilings will be possible during the mid-afternoon as some heavier thunderstorms will be possible. BB/03 && .MOB WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... AL...None.
