AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MOBILE AL 300 PM CDT MON JUL 1 2002 STILL HAVING PROBLEMS WITH RADAR AND COMMUNICATIONS FROM YESTERDAYS LIGHTNING STRIKE. RADAR IS BACK UP TEMPORARILY. SHORT TERM...NOT SEEING MUCH RW/TRW DEVELOPMENT THIS AFTERNOON. STILL AIRMASS OVER CWA IS VERY UNSTABLE AND WILL ADJUST WORDING FOR THIS EVENING IN ZONES AFTER LOOKING AT RADAR. LATEST SATELLITE SHOWS SEA BREEZE GETTING STARTED ALONG COAST. WILL LEAVE IN SLIGHT CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS THIS EVENING. AS MENTIONED IN PREVIOUS AFD..NOT A LOT OF FEATURES TO HANG YOUR HAT ON THROUGH WEDNESDAY. 500H HIGH PRESSURE TO OUR NORTHWEST AND LOW OVER FLORIDA. SEEING SOME MID LEVEL SUBSIDENCE OVER US. ALSO SOME DRYING OUT IS TAKING PLACE TONIGHT AND TUESDAY ACROSS MOST OF CWA. WEAK UPPER LEVEL JET IS RIGHT OVER CWA. WILL STILL LEAVE IN A CHANCE OF RW/TRW ON TUESDAY BUT CHANCES WILL BE SMALLER THAN THE PAST FEW DAYS WITH THE GREATEST CHANCE REMAINING ALONG THE COAST. AT THE SURFACE...WEAK RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE WILL REMAIN THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND WEAKEN AS A SURFACE LOW AND ASSOCIATED TROUGH DEVELOPS OVER CWA ON THURSDAY. THIS LOW WILL SLOWLY TRACK WEST. PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES DROP SOME TONIGHT AND TUESDAY ACROSS CWA BUT WILL AGAIN INCREASE TO AROUND TWO INCHES WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY. STILL RW/TRW WILL BE PRIMARILY DIURNAL WITH AFTERNOON SEA BREEZE. WILL AGAIN STICK PRETTY CLOSE TO MAV NUMBERS. WINDS WILL GENERALLY BE VARIABLE WITH SOUTHERLY WINDS EXPECTED ALONG THE COASTAL COUNTIES DURING THE AFTERNOONS. EXTENDED...WILL MAINTAIN CURRENT FCST WITH CONTINUED SCATTERED POPS THROUGH NEXT WEEKEND AS MRF CONTINUES TO SHOW WEAK SURFACE TROF PUSHING THROUGH THE AREA. NOT SURE ABOUT MOVEMENT OF LOW AND WILL WAIT FOR LATER RUNS TO SEE IF THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE TROUGH REMAINS CONSISTENT. HOWEVER...SEE UPPER RIDGE BUILDING IN OVER THE SOUTHEAST BY SATURDAY...SO BEST RAIN CHANCES WILL LIKELY BE OVER THE COASTAL COUNTIES WHERE SEABREEZE AND POSSIBLE SURFACE TROF WILL PROVIDE THE FOCUS. MARINE WEATHER...WITH A WEAK HIGH OFFSHORE AND THE WEAK TROUGH MOVING ACROSS THE AREA BY THE MIDDLE OF THE WEEK WILL SEE A LIGHT TO MODERATE SOUTHWEST TO WEST FLOW ESPECIALLY IN THE OFFSHORE WATERS. WINDS NEAR THE COAST WILL BECOME MORE SOUTHERLY DURING THE AFTERNOONS. LITTLE CHANGE IN SEAS EXPECTED. FIRE WEATHER...NO HIGHLIGHTS WITH RELATIVE HUMIDITIES REMAINING ABOVE CRITICAL LEVELS.
