AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MOBILE AL 300 AM CDT THU AUG 3 2006 .SHORT TERM...TODAY AND TONIGHT...SURFACE RIDGE CONTINUES FROM EAST TO WEST ACROSS FORECAST AREA THIS MORNING. PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES ARE DOWN SLIGHTLY...JUST UNDER TWO INCHES FOR TODAY. THINK WE WILL HAVE A FEW TOWERS GO UP ALONG THE COAST THIS MORNING BUT CONVECTION MORE LIKELY THIS AFTERNOON WHEN MAX HEATING IS REACHED. GFS MOS POPS HAVE CAME WAY DOWN FOR TODAY...AROUND 10 PERCENT. NGM/NAM CAME IN AROUND 20...ALL THREE WITH MAX TEMPS IN THE LOW TO MID 90S FROM COAST NORTHWARD. WATER VAPOR LOOPS SHOW DRIER AIR OVER SOUTHERN GEORGIA BUT LOOKS LIKE IT WILL TURN MORE NORTHWEST BEFORE GETTING TO SOUTH ALABAMA. EITHER WAY MID 90 TEMPERATURES SHOULD BE ENOUGH TO FIRE OFF ISOLATED STORMS AND DID GO ABOUT 10 PERCENT ABOVE GUIDANCE TO FIT IN BETTER WITH NEIGHBORS. MAY EVEN BE A FEW STRONG STORMS IF DRIER AIR ALOFT CAN MAKE IT TO THE EASTERN ZONES THIS AFTERNOON. /11 && .LONG TERM...FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY...SURFACE TO H8 RIDGE OVER MUCH OF THE NORTHERN GULF AND SE CONUS WILL CONTINUE TO DOMINATE THROUGH EARLY NEXT WEEK WITH T.S. CHRIS PROGGED TO MOVE WEST UNDER THE RIDGE TRACKING OVER THE SOUTHERN GULF GENERALLY AS A MINIMAL TROPICAL CYCLONE. BOTH THE GFS AND NAM DEPICT BETTER COVERAGE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS LATER IN THE WEEK AS A WEAK FRONTAL STALLS OVER CENTRAL AL AND GA...WITH SLIGHTLY BETTER MID LEVEL FORCING MOVING SOUTHWARD ALSO BASICALLY IN THE VICINITY OF THE FRONT. OTHERWISE...NO REAL SIGNIFICANT CHANGES TO THE LAST COUPLE OF PACKAGES FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE WEEK. HEAT INDICES FROM 100 TO 105 WERE NOTED FOR MUCH OF THE FORECAST PD THUS GIVING WAY TO MORE UNCOMFORTABLE WORKING CONDITIONS OUTSIDE. WILL CONTINUE TO USE CURRENT 00Z MEX GUIDANCE FOR TEMPS THROUGH THE PD. /32 && .MARINE...THERE CONTINUES TO BE LITTLE CHANGE IN THE MARINE FORECAST THROUGH THE NEXT FIVE DAYS WITH HIGH PRESSURE REMAINING THE MAIN FEATURE OVER THE MARINE AREA.
