AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MOBILE AL 240 PM CDT FRI JUN 14 2002 FOR THE PACKAGE...BIGGEST PROBLEM WILL BE PRECIP...WITH THE ENDING OF THE ONGOING PRECIP...AND A SHORTWAVE PASSING SUNDAY NIGHT INTO MONDAY. FIRST...TAKING A LOOK AT THE CURRENT SITUATION...THIS MORNINGS UPPER AIR ANALYSIS PUT UPPER LOW OVER SOUTHERN WI...WITH MEAN TROUGH STRETCHING INTO EASTERN MX. RIDGE OVER EASTERN THIRD OF CONUS/CA IS GETTING SHARPENED BY LOW PUSHING INTO THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST. TSRA ON-GOING OVER THE FA EARLY THIS AFTERNOON AHEAD OF SURFACE FRONT PUSHING INTO THE FA. AIRMASS MOIST AHEAD OF FRONT...WITH PRECIP H20 VALUES OVER I-20 AND POINTS SOUTH 1.6+. CURRENT RADAR LOOP SHOWS OUTFLOWS FROM CURRENT ACTIVITY GETTING READY TO COLLIDE WITH GULF BREEZE FRONT HANGING CLOSE TO COAST. MODELS ADVERTISING UPPER LOW OVER WI SWINGING EAST THROUGH F24/SAT MORN...THEN HEAD NORTHEAST. THIS WILL SEND THE FRONT INTO THE NORTHERN GULF...BEFORE IT STALLS. LOCAL EFFECTS THEN TAKE OVER...WITH FRONT GETTING WASHED OUT/NORTH BY THE GULF BREEZE SAT. THIS IS MUCH FASTER THAN YESTERDAY. PRECIP LOOKS TO BE GENERALLY DONE ACROSS THE AREA BY START TIME FOR THIS PACKAGE...BUT GOING TO KEEP SOME POPS IN CLOSE TO COAST. FOR THE REST OF THE SHORT TERM...MODELS BRINGING IN DRIER AIRMASS ABOVE AND GULF BREEZE INFLUENCE. MODEL THICKNESS VALUES DO NOT DROP ALL THAT MUCH...SO EXPECT DAYTIME TEMPS TO REMAIN GENERALLY THE SAME THROUGH THE SHORT TERM. DRY AIR WILL HELP WITH RADIATIONAL COOLING...SO OVERNIGHT TEMPS WILL BE RATHER COMFORTABLE. ANOTHER SHORTWAVE WILL SWING INTO THE TROUGH...BRINGING A CHANCE FOR PRECIP SUNDAY NIGHT INTO MONDAY. AM NOT GOING TO GO ABOVE SLIGHT CHANCE FOR NOW UNTIL MORE MOISTURE COMES BACK. MARINE...WINDS WILL INCREASE A BIT BEHIND THE FRONT TONIGHT...THEN TAPER OFF THROUGH SUNDAY. WILL KEEP CAUTION STATEMENT FOR TONIGHT INTO SAT MORN. EXPECT SOME GUSTINESS LATER SUNDAY AS SHORTWAVE MOVES ACROSS AREA. FIRE...DRYING BEHIND THE FRONT AND CONTINUED WARM AFTERNOON TEMPERATURES SATURDAY WILL REQUIRE WATCH FOR INLAND AREAS OF THE PANHANDLE FOR THE AFTERNOON. IN THE EXTENDED...MEDIUM RANGE MODELS ADVERTISING A DE-AMPLIFICATION OF THE PATTERN OVER THE CONUS AS SHORTWAVE LOW MOVES OVER THE NORTHERN CONUS. RIDGE MAINTAINS ITS STRENGTH. THE ONLY THING CONSTANT IN THE MODELS...AND ENSEMBLES WHERE AVAILABLE...IS A WEAK TROUGH BEING MAINTAINED SOMEWHERE OVER THE GULF. AM GOING TO CONTINUE THE SEASONAL FORECAST UNTIL SOMETHING BETTER APPEARS TO HANG MY FORECASTING HAT ON. ...PRELIM NUMBERS...
