Area forecast discussion, Jun 15, 2:50 PM CST, 4 hours before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MOBILE AL 350 PM CDT WED JUN 15 2005 .SHORT TERM (TONIGHT AND THURSDAY)... MAIN CONCERN IN THE IMMEDIATE SHORT TERM PERIOD CONCERNS THE STRENGTH OF THE LATE AFTERNOON/EARLY EVENING ISOLATED TO SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS THAT DEVELOP. BETTER COVERAGE OF STORMS IS EXPECTED TO BE ACROSS THE COASTAL COUNTIES OF AL EASTWARD ACROSS THE WESTERN FL PANHANDLE INTO EXTREME SOUTH CENTRAL AL ALONG THE SEABREEZE...AND INLAND JUST SOUTH OF THE SLOW MOVING/STALLING COLD FRONT THAT EXTENDS FROM CENTRAL MS EASTWARD ACROSS CENTRAL AL. THAT FRONT MAY SETTLE A LITTLE FURTHER SOUTH TONIGHT...BUT IS EXPECTED TO HANG UP JUST NORTH OF THE COAST TONIGHT INTO THURSDAY. STEEPER SFC TO FREEZING LEVEL LAPSE RATES OF ABOUT 7.4C COMBINED WITH A RICH THETA-E/HIGH MIXING RATIO LOW LEVEL ENVIRONMENT (SFC-900 MB AVG 16 G/KG) ARE AMONG SOME OF THE KEY PARAMETERS THAT SUGGEST A HIGHER POTENTIAL FOR WET MICROBURSTS THROUGH EARLY EVENING WHERE WE SEE ELEVATED CORES SETTING UP IN ISOLATED STRONGER STORMS. WE HAVE ALREADY SEEN A 40 MPH GUST AT HURLBURT FIELD NEAR MARY ESTHER FL FROM THE OUTFLOW OF A STRONGER CELL TO THE WEST BETWEEN 2 AND 230 PM CDT...NOT SEVERE BUT STRONG ENOUGH TO KNOCK DOWN A FEW TREE LIMBS AROUND THE MARY ESTHER COMMUNITY. THE STORMS SHOULD WEAKEN BY 03Z WITH THE LOSS OF DAYTIME HEATING. MOISTURE BY TOMORROW WILL BE CONFINED TO THE LOWEST LAYERS...DEEP ENOUGH TO LIMIT SHOWER/THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY TOMORROW. /05 && .LONG TERM (THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH NEXT WEDNESDAY)... DIDNT MAKE MANY CHANGES TO THE LONG TERM PACKAGE WE INHERITED FROM THE MIDSHIFT. WE KEPT SCATTERED POPS GOING FRIDAY ACROSS THE WESTERN AREAS GIVEN THE GFS/NAM CONTINUE TO ADVERTISE A MIDLEVEL SHORTWAVE DRIVING SOUTHEAST OUT OF ARKANSAS FRIDAY...POSSIBLY WORKING INTO OUR WESTERN ZONES DURING THE AFTERNOON. /05 && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
