Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Mobile AL
525 AM CST Wed Feb 2 2022
.AVIATION...
12Z issuance...Scattered to locally numerous mainly light rain
showers will continue across much of the area through the day. VFR
to MVFR ceilings will prevail through much of the period before
lowering this evening. Southeast winds will increase to 15 to 20
knots with higher gusts by this afternoon and continue into the
evening. /13
&&
.PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 417 AM CST Wed Feb 2 2022/
NEAR TERM UPDATE /Now Through Thursday/...A large positively tilted
upper trof spanning the northern Plains into the southwestern states
advances slowly eastward through Thursday. A cold front extending
from the Great Lakes into Texas likewise advances slowly eastward,
and is expected to move to near the western fringe of the forecast
area late Thursday afternoon. A stubborn surface ridge over the East
Coast states into the southeastern states gradually weakens as the
front approaches and promotes a southeasterly surface flow over the
forecast area which becomes southerly on Thursday. Deep layer
moisture steadily increases through the period, with precipitable
water values increasing to 1.0-1.3 inches tonight, around 1.5 inches
on Wednesday, then trends even higher to 1.5-1.8 inches on Thursday
as the front nears the forecast area. Instability remains very
limited through this evening with a modest increase late tonight
when SBCAPE values of 100-300 J/kg develop over southeast
Mississippi and extreme southwest Alabama. Instability improves
through mid Thursday afternoon, mainly over southeast Mississippi
and southwestern Alabama where SBCAPE values trend higher to 400-900
J/kg with values further to the east expected to range from 100-400
J/kg. Plenty of favorable shear will be present over the area on
Thursday as the 850 mb jet increases from 30-35 knots in the morning
to 35-45 knots in the afternoon. 0-3 km bulk shear increases to 30-
40 knots over the western third of the area Thursday morning (30-40
knots favors bowing thunderstorm structures) then these shear values
spread further east to include much of the remainder of the area in
the afternoon. 0-3 km helicity values of 200-350 m2/s2 will be
present through much of the day. The distribution of instability
will be the main limiting factor for severe thunderstorm development
on Thursday, and considering this and the shear environment, see the
potential for severe thunderstorm development to be highest over the
western portion of the area in the morning, then including mainly
the central portion of the area in the afternoon. The Storm
Prediction Center currently has a marginal risk of severe storms for
much of the area on Thursday. High rainfall rates will accompany the
thunderstorms on Thursday, especially along and west of I-65, and
could lead to isolated flash flooding issues. A High Surf Advisory
is in effect through the period for large breaking waves of 5 to 8
feet in the surf zone, and a High Risk of Rip Currents is also in
effect. Wind gusts occasionally to near 30 mph are possible mainly
near the coast during the daytime hours both today and again on
Thursday. Another concern is the potential for minor coastal
flooding over northern Mobile Bay during the time of high tide on
this morning, but have held off on issuance of a Coastal Flood
Advisory as observed tide heights are running consistently a bit
below forecast levels. As far as pops go, rain chances increase on
today to chance to categorical over the western portion of the area
tapering to slight chance over the easternmost portion, then
categorical pops follow for most of the area on Thursday. 13/29
SHORT TERM /Thursday night Through Friday night/...The large
trough mentioned in the near term continues east with the
accompanying strong cold front knocking on our doorstep over our
northwest portion of the region on Thursday night. This feature
will move across the area overnight on Thursday and into Friday
morning. By Friday night, the front continues moving southeast and
cooler and drier air begins to usher into the region. Some
residual rain showers are possible behind the front for areas
southeast of I-65 on Friday night.
As far as sensible weather, as the front begins to move into and
across the region through Thursday night, the highest PoPs will be
during this time. The overall severe threat looks to quickly
diminish going into Thursday night as the timing seems to be
diurnally unfavorable with the system moving in after dark
Thursday evening into Thursday night with mainly elevated
thunderstorms possible. For now, a conditional risk for an
isolated tornado or strong to damaging wind gust can't be ruled
out Thursday evening into Thursday night. One other concern will
be potential flooding issues given the slow movement of the front
across the area through Friday morning. This could create locally
heavy rainfall as training storms may form and excessive run-off
can contribute to river/flash/nuisance flooding issues. WPC
continues to have much of our region in a Slight Risk of excessive
rainfall. Looking ahead, PoPs gradually decrease from west to
east across the area going through the rest of the period with any
residual isentropic upglide/cold surge rainshowers moving south
of any portion of the forecast area late Friday night into early
Saturday morning.
For hazards, increased swell created ahead of the approaching
front continues through the period, and strong onshore flow
persists through Friday morning, a HIGH risk of rip currents
continues through the short term as a result. Additionally, the
strong onshore flow keeps surf heights elevated through Friday
morning before gradually falling in the fronts wake.
Lastly, temperatures as the front passes the forecast area
Thursday night, bringing a gradient in temperatures to the region,
low are expected to range from the upper 30s to mid 40s along and
northwest of I-65, with upper 40s to low 50s southeast. Highs on
Friday are expected to range in the mid 40s to low 50s along and
northwest of I-65, with mid 50s to low 60s southeast. Friday
night, as conditions dry out freezing temperatures return to area
well northwest of the Alabama River with mid/upper 30s southeast
to the coast. JEH/88
EXTENDED TERM /Saturday Through Tuesday/...An upper shortwave
trough is expected to traverse the ArkLaTex region to begin the
extended term period. This feature will quickly move northeast
towards the Appalachians through early Sunday morning. Zonal flow
over the local area will begin to give way to an upper level,
positively-tilted trough that will move over the south-central CONUS
on Monday. Significant timing differences are present in model
solutions by this time and will play a role in any rain chances
early next week. At the surface, high pressure will build into the
region and maintain its hold through at least Monday. A cold front
could sweep down into the South on Tuesday, but with the
aforementioned model disagreement, this will need to be monitored
with future runs and updates. Even so, both the GFS and ECMWF show
PWATs around an inch or less through Monday. Therefore, stuck close
with the blended guidance which trended towards a drier extended
term (little to no rain chances are forecast). High temperatures
will generally remain in the 50s each day, with lows dropping into
the 30s over inland areas (potentially into the upper 20s over our
far northwest) and into the upper 30s to around 40 degrees at the
coast. /26
MARINE...Strong southeasterly winds with building seas continue
through Thursday while a cold front approaches from the west. The
front moves through Thursday night with a strong northerly flow in
the wake of the front persisting through Friday night before
gradually diminishing. /13
