AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MOBILE AL 315 AM CDT TUE JUN 7 2005 .SHORT TERM (TODAY AND TONIGHT)...LATEST SFC MAP SHOWS WEAK HIGH PRESSURE OVER MUCH OF THE SOUTHEAST U.S. AND NE GULF. ALOFT AT 00Z WEAK MID TO UPPER TROF WAS DEPICTED NEAR THE AL/MS BORDER PROGGED TO REMAIN SOMEWHAT STATIONARY THROUGH TONIGHT OVER THE REGION. WITH THIS WEAK SYSTEM STILL IN PLACE AND PRECIPITABLE WATERS AVERAGING SLIGHTLY ABOVE 2 INCHES ACROSS THE CWFA BELIEVE THE THREAT OF WIDESPREAD THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE THROUGH EARLY THIS EVENING FOR MOST AREAS IN THE CWFA. SOME AREAS DID RECEIVE MORE THAN 2 INCHES LOCALLY YESTERDAY AND SEE NO REASON WHY IT COULDNT HAPPEN AGAIN GIVEN THE CURRENT CONDITIONS AND SHORT RANGE PROGS. CURRENT RUC SOLUTION SUGGESTS THE CONVECTION OVER S LA WILL REDEVELOP LATER THIS MORNING...DRIFTING SLOWLY EASTWARD. CURRENT POPS REFLECT THIS WELL. HAVE LOWERED TODAYS HIGHS FROM THE GFS MOS DUE TO EXTRA CLOUDS AND RAIN./32 .LONG TERM (WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY)...EXPECT WEDNESDAYS WEATHER TO BE SIMILAR TO TODAY, WITH ANOTHER WEAK SHORT WAVE MOVING ACROSS CWA. THIS WILL INTERACT WITH SEA BREEZE AND DAYTIME HEATING AND WILL AID IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF RW/TRW. HIGH PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES WILL CONTINUE AND WE COULD SEE SOME HIGH PRECIPITATION AMOUNTS, ESPECIALLY ALONG THE COASTAL AREAS WHERE THE SEA BREEZE AND SHORT WAVE WILL INTERACT. EXPECT HEAVIER AMOUNTS OF RAINFALL TO BE A LITTLE FARTHER EAST THAN TODAYS HEAVIER AMOUNTS. SHOULD DRY OUT SOME ON THURSDAY BUT STILL EXPECT SCATTERED RW/TRW DEVELOPMENT IN THE DAYTIME. MODELS ADVERTISING LOW DEVELOPMENT OVER THE GULF BY LATE WEEK. GFS MUCH STRONGER IN SOLUTION THAN THE ETA. WILL HOLD OFF MENTIONING DEVELOPMENT OF LOW UNTIL THE MODELS HAVE A LITTLE MORE CONSISTENCY. EITHER WAY WILL INCREASE CHANCE OF RW/TRW FROM PREVIOUS FORECAST BEGINNING LATE FRIDAY CONTINUING INTO THE WEEKEND. SHOULD DRY OUT AGAIN BY LATE SUNDAY INTO MONDAY. TEMPERATURES WILL BE NEAR NORMAL WITH A LITTLE BELOW NORMAL HIGHS ON WEDNESDAY, FRIDAY AND SATURDAY BECAUSE OF BETTER CHANCES OF PRECIPITATION AND CLOUDS THOSE DAYS. /01 && .MARINE...HAVE GONE WITH CURRENT GFS SOLUTION THROUGH 12Z THU BUT WILL REFRAIN FROM ADJUSTING WINDS OVER THE WEEKEND DUE TO THE UNCERTAINTY OF THE LOW FORMING OVER THE GULF OVER THE WEEKEND.
