NWS Mobile, AL wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Jun 18, 2:08 PM CST, 4 hours 2 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MOBILE AL 308 PM CDT FRI JUN 18 2004 .SHORT TERM...THE LATEST SURFACE ANALYSIS SHOWS A WEAK TROF ACROSS THE NORTHERN TIER OF THE FORECAST AREA THAT HAS INITIATED SCATTERED CONVECTION...AS WELL AS A WEAK TROPICAL WAVE MOVING WEST OF THE MARINE AREA ASSOCIATED WITH ISOLATED CONVECTION. THE WEAK TROF IS A TRAILING ARTIFACT OF A SURFACE LOW OVER THE NEW ENGLAND AREA. AS A STRONG MID LEVEL SYSTEM MOVES ACROSS SOUTHERN ONTARIO AND INTO QUEBEC...THE SURFACE LOW OVER NEW ENGLAND BECOMES ABSORBED BY THE STRONGER ASSOCIATED SURFACE LOW. THIS THEN ALLOWS FOR THE WEAK TROF TO SETTLE SOUTHWARD THROUGH THE FORECAST AREA THROUGH TONIGHT... FOLLOWED BY A TRAILING WEAK COLD FRONT THAT MOVES INTO THE FORECAST AREA SATURDAY AFTERNOON INTO SATURDAY NIGHT. WILL KEEP SMALL SCATTERED POPS IN FOR THE EVENING HOURS FOR THIS FEATURE AND CURRENT ONGOING CONVECTION. WILL GO WITH GOOD CHANCE POPS ACROSS THE AREA ON SATURDAY. THE FRONT MAY SLIP OFFSHORE LATE SATURDAY NIGHT...BUT WILL THEN RETURN INLAND ON SUNDAY AND GRADUALLY DISSIPATE OVER THE FORECAST AREA. WILL GO WITH GOOD CHANCE POPS AGAIN ON SUNDAY FOR THIS FEATURE. A SURFACE HIGH MEANWHILE MOVES TO THE CENTRAL EAST COAST THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT WHILE A SURFACE LOW DEVELOPS OVER THE SOUTHERN PLAINS...ALLOWING FOR A LIGHT SOUTHERLY FLOW TO RESUME ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA ON MONDAY. THIS PATTERN WILL SUPPORT CONTINUED CHANCE POPS MAINLY FOR AFTERNOON SEA BREEZE CONVECTIVE DEVELOPMENT. && .EXTENDED...THE SURFACE LOW MEANDERS OVER THE SOUTHERN PLAINS THROUGH MUCH OF THE PERIOD WHILE DEEP RIDGING REBUILDS OVER THE NORTHERN GULF. THIS WILL PROMOTE LIGHT SOUTHERLY WINDS AND AFTERNOON SEA BREEZE INITIATED CONVECTION. HIGHS WILL REMAIN NEAR SEASONABLE LEVELS WITH LOWS SLIGHTLY ABOVE SEASONABLE LEVELS. && .MARINE...VARIABLE WINDS PREVAIL OVERNIGHT AS LIGHT NORTHWEST...THEN AS THE DIFFERENTIAL HEATING STARTS...WIND WILL COME SOUTHEAST THEN SOUTHWEST BY LATE AFTERNOON THEN WEST IN EVENING AS THE SEABREEZE FLOW TURNS WITH THE CORIOLIS EFFECT THROUGH THE DAY. CORIOLIS TURNING IN A FLAT PRESSURE FIELD LIKE THIS WOULD BE MUCH EASIER TO ATTAIN THAN THE MORE RESTRICTED VERSION WHEN AN ONSHORE GRADIENT PREVAILS. EXPECT THIS TO CONTINUE THROUGH LATE IN THE WEEK. /77 && .FIRE...NO CONCERNS. && .PRELIMINARY TEMPS / POPS...
