NEAR TERM...
(Now through Wednesday Night)
Issued at 437 AM CST Tue Feb 11 2025
The next 48 hours are looking to be on the active side as the
chance for strong to severe storms looks possible Wednesday into
Wednesday night. A HIGH risk of rip currents will also begin
Wednesday and persist through the week.
Synopsis...Deep layer moisture has already begun to surge
northward across our area this morning as deep southwesterly flow
aloft slowly overspreads from west to east. This is all in
response to a rather broad longwave upper trough digging into the
southwestern US. Several shortwaves are expected to progress
through the flow starting today with the strongest one pushing
through Wednesday into Wednesday night. At the surface, a stalled
frontal boundary extending across the northern Gulf will steadily
begin to advance northward as a warm front today likely
approaching just north of our area by Tuesday night into
Wednesday. Deep overrunning flow will allow for showers and
storms to develop north of this boundary throughout the day today
and into tonight. The best rain chances will start closer to the
coast this morning and gradually move northward this morning
throughout the day. Activity will likely peak this evening as the
first upper shortwave zips quickly by. South of the advancing
boundary, low level flow will allow for rich Gulf moisture to
surge northward leading to scattered warm advection showers to
develop. Interestingly enough, forecast soundings depict a rather
unstable zone under roughly 600 mb but heavily capped above that.
This would likely support rather shallow convective cells
underneath the cap. Shallow doesn't mean they can't bite just
might fall under what we call "power showers" with no lightning.
More on that in the severe section below.
A brief respite will likely occur tonight as we fall inbetween
shortwaves and weak shortwave riding builds in. This break will
only be temporary as the next two waves move in on Wednesday. The
first shortwave likely moves through during the mid-morning
through early afternoon. This will likely kickoff another round
of storms along the stalled warmfront mainly along and north of
highway 84 with more scattered warm advection showers further
south. This round could possibly pose the first of two main
threats for severe weather with the second coming overnight as the
more potent and final shortwave pushes through. Storms will fire
along and in front of a slowly advancing during the evening
hours and push eastward overnight. Storms will likely weaken as
they move east with the loss of diurnal heating and the upper
trough quickly lifting out of the area leading to decreasing upper
support. Nonetheless, wednesday night appears to be the best
period for rain across the entire area as the front sweeps across.
Severe storms...Alright now for the part everyone is wondering
about. To be honest this is a rather subtle severe threat with
a lot of moving parts going on. Certainly not a slam dunk event
where confidence and ceiling is high, but more of a tricky setup
that could be entirely nothing or rather active couple of rounds
and the differences between the two potentials is small. So lets
get to it.
Lets start with this afternoon and early evening. Most of you are
probably thinking; what are you talking about we do not have a
risk for today. You would be correct; however, I would be lying if
some things didn't catch my eye for this afternoon that was worth
mentioning. Looking at area soundings from various convective
allowing models and global guidance (GFS/ECMWF) a rather peculiar
low level profile kept showing up. This profile is a rather
unstable low levels under a stout mid level capping inversion
(warmer layer). Typically that inversion would be too much and
squash the convection acting like a lid on a boiling pot. However,
the boundary layer is rather deep and moist with fairly steep low
level lapse rates around 7.5 degrees C/km. This environment
coupled with curved low level wind profiles, especially in the
vicinity of a lifting warmfront, tend to be the stomping grounds
of a Gulf Coast special, the mini-spinny or "power shower". These
tend to be small rotating showers that may or may not have
lightning that can be absolute pests for a forecaster and radar
operator. They tend to be small enough that even model grid
spacing has a tough time resolving them. While I do not really
expect much in the way of anything this afternoon; this
environment has snuck up on us before and to be honest given the
history would not be entirely shocked if we see a few rotating
"showers" this afternoon and evening. Heck there is probably a
non-zero (albeit low) chance that a Gulf coast "accident" tornado
cannot be ruled out. The best environment for these buggers looks
to be across the highway 84 corridor in the vicinity of the weak
surface boundary sometime late this afternoon and into the
evening. This looks to be supported by recent machine learning
guidance with low but non-zero probabilities across areas like
Wayne County MS east towards Wilcox county Alabama. The reason we
have no outlook is that overall uncertainty, coverage and just
odd nature of these setups really work against overall severe
weather and just not a high enough probability or threat to
require a categorical risk area.
Now lets move on to the more substantial risks on Wednesday. We
are probably looking at two separate waves to occur on Wednesday.
The first will be mainly across that same highway 84 corridor
during the mid morning into the early afternoon. This will likely
be along that stalled warm frontal zone extending just south of
the I-20 corridor. North of the boundary; elevated storms will
likely be ongoing with the potential for some small hail given
marginal mid-level lapse rates, weak storm relative inflow and
strong deep layer flow. Would not be shocked to get a couple hail
reports Wednesday morning mainly north of highway 84. With time
this area will destabilize as the front moves north and daytime
heating allows for more surface based instability to build. While
not overly impressive, there could be enough instability to
support some organized surface based convection to move along that
warm front. Some of the convective allowing models show a
organized linear segment progressing across this zone around
midday. Kinematics will be supportive of both damaging winds and a
tornado or two. However, the question comes will that convection
be focused north or south of the boundary. IF it is north of the
boundary it'll likely remain elevated leading to a diminished
severe risk. South of the boundary in the more unstable air would
support the hazards mentioned above as this moves across the area.
Its all gonna matter on timing and where with respect with the
boundary does this convection organize. As mentioned above, very
minor changes could change the outcome and potential threats.
After this round there will be a brief break during the afternoon
as the final wave moves in later in the evening and overnight on
Wednesday. This will likely be the more impressive round; however,
not everything is lining up with this round making it a tricky
forecast. The first fly in the ointment will be what the heck
happens to the boundary after the earlier wave of convection. If
the first midday round of storms is able to push the boundary
south cutting into what instability we have; then the severe risk
may be severely hampered as the further south we get the more
removed from the better forcing likely resulting in a lazy line of
storms with a lot of bark but no bite. Now if that first wave has
little impact on the boundary and or tightens the boundary zone
without impacting the open warm sector then things could get spicy
mainly across the current slight risk area, especially around
that favorite highway 84 corridor. I know by this point they are
probably getting tired of being mentioned. Kinematics look to be
rather potent with rather large curved hodographs and any storms
that form ahead of the approaching front. While rather conditional
on if these storms can take advantage of the environment, analog
guidance and machine learning guidance is rather aggressive
across southeastern Mississippi and into interior south western
Alabama. This is likely highlighting the ceiling for this event in
that a period of damaging winds a couple of tornadoes cannot be
ruled out. We will have to just monitor how each of the moving
pieces play out over the next 24 hours to see if that ceiling is
achievable. The ole deep south rule of thumb is never trust a warm
front so we will have to watch this one closely. Along the front,
storms may struggle as boundary parallel shear will support
undercutting which will reduce the severe risk unless storms can
organize into a more substantial QLCS. Further east, synoptic
support will likely lift out of the area and the threat should
drop off as we approach the I-65 corridor and points east. While a
damaging wind gust cannot be ruled out; the overall threat will
likely diminish to a short period of heavy rain. BB-8
LONG TERM...
(Friday through Monday)
Issued at 437 AM CST Tue Feb 11 2025
Upper-level longwave troughing over the eastern half of the US at
the start of the period is expected to lift northeastward,
exiting into the western Atlantic by Friday night. Behind it,
another longwave trough moves into the southwest US and quickly
crosses the CONUS through the weekend. For the local area, these
two troughs will likely keep a persistent southwesterly flow
pattern aloft. At the surface, the cold front that began moving
through the local area during the near term will clear the area
and stall over the northern Gulf on Thursday. High pressure to our
north allows for rain chances to quickly decrease throughout the
day on Thursday as cooler and drier air filters in. This reprieve
from the active pattern is only temporary as the stalled front is
expected to lift to the north as a warm front by Friday night. As
the second upper trough approaches the area, another stronger cold
front is expected to approach and sweep through the local area
sometime late Saturday into Sunday.
Although we are still 5 days out, the signal for severe weather
continues to increase for the Saturday afternoon into Saturday night
timeframe. Guidance continues to suggest broad diffluence aloft and
strong deep layer shear across the Deep South as the upper trough
ejects northeastward. Deterministic and ensemble mean guidance also
suggest a rather potent LLJ developing underneath the diffluent flow
aloft and spreading across Alabama and Mississippi. As far as
instability, what stands out to me is that the latest deterministic
global models are already suggesting CAPE values in excess of 1000
J/kg in some areas. This is rather impressive given the typical cool
season low-end bias that global models tend to have with instability
this far out (in addition to an evening/overnight timing). Looking
at GFS ensembles, probabilities of CAPE values greater than 500 J/kg
have almost doubled when comparing model runs initialized on Feb 9th
to runs on the 10th. Therefore, while instability is typically is a
limiting/questionable factor this time of year, we may instead be
leaning towards a solution where the thermodynamic environment is
actually rather supportive of robust updrafts. Lastly, overall large
scale forcing from the system has also become more prominent.
Ensembles over the past couple days have trended towards a deeper
upper trough and the latest deterministic models are starting to
suggest that the trough may take on a more neutral to possibly
negative tilt prior to ejecting northeast. Putting all of this
together and seeing a sharp increase in probabilities from the CSU-
MLP, we are becoming increasingly confident and concerned that an
impactful severe weather event will occur across the Deep South
Saturday into Saturday night. At this time, there are still some
questions regarding timing and where the ingredients best line up
for the greatest potential. The signal from the CIPS Analogs
currently covers a very broad area across the southeast US. As we
get closer to the event and monitor trends, we will be able to
refine the forecast more to see how this storm system will
ultimately impact our local area. /96
MARINE...
Issued at 437 AM CST Tue Feb 11 2025
A light onshore flow should gradually strengthen to a
moderate to strong onshore flow by mid week as the warm front
lifts inland and dissipates. A cold front moves east across the
marine area Wednesday night into Thursday, once again bringing
moderate to occasionally strong offshore flow to the coastal
waters into Friday. Moderate onshore flow returns going into the
weekend. A Small Craft Advisory may be needed Wednesday afternoon
through the end of the week. BB-8
