AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MOBILE AL 455 AM CDT FRI JUN 16 2006 .SHORT TERM (TODAY AND TONIGHT)...STALLED SURFACE FRONT EXTENDING FROM LITTLE ROCK TO MERIDIAN TO EVERGREEN WILL LIFT SLIGHTLY FURTHER NORTH TODAY ALONG THE WESTERN PERIPHERY OF THE ATLANTIC COAST RIDGE. THIS SHOULD PUT MOST IF NOT ALL OF OUR FORECAST AREA IN THE UPPER 60 TO LOWER 70 DEWPOINT AIRMASS BY THIS AFTERNOON. ALOFT...WE NOTE THE LARGE AMPLITUDE EASTERN STATES UPPER TROUGH HAS SHIFTED SLIGHTLY FURTHER EAST JUST OFF THE ATLANTIC SEABOARD...WITH AN UPPER RIDGE AXIS EXTENDING FROM ILLINOIS SOUTH INTO THE EASTERN GULFMEX. OF GREATER INTEREST...LOOKING TO THE SOUTHWEST WE NOTE A WELL DEFINED UPPER LOW SPINNING NEAR CORPUS CHRISTI TEXAS THIS MORNING...SLIDING SLOWLY TO THE EAST AND NORTHEAST. THE MOISTURE PLUME ON THE EAST SIDE OF THIS FEATURE EXTENDS FROM THE CENTRAL GULFMEX INTO LOUISIANA WHERE SCATTERED CONVECTION WILL BE A LITTLE MORE NUMEROUS TODAY. THIS FEATURE IS ADVERTISED BY BOTH THE GFS AND THE NAM TO LIFT NORTH AND FILL SOMEWHAT BY TONIGHT. WE WOULD EXPECT TO SEE ISOLATED MID AFTERNOON THUNDERSTORMS BECOMING SCATTERED IN COVERAGE BY LATE AFTERNOON/EARLY EVENING WITH MOISTURE INCREASING ACROSS OUR AREA (BEING ON THE EASTERN PERIPHERY OF THE UPPER LOW). THE CONVECTION WILL BE MAINLY FOCUSED ALONG THE AFTERNOON SEABREEZE WORKING SLOWLY INLAND THROUGH EARLY EVENING. /05 && .LONG TERM (SATURDAY THROUGH FRIDAY)...AS THE TROUGH PUSHES FURTHER EAST AND PW VALUES REMAIN BETWEEN 1.5 AND 2 INCHES... K-INDICES IN THE LOW TO UPPER 30S AND LI IN -2 TO -4 RANGE WILL ENABLE CONTINUED AFTERNOON SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS SATURDAY AND SUNDAY. THE FLAT GEOPOTENTIAL FIELD IN UPPER LEVELS REMAIN WEST OF THE MISSISSIPPI WEAKENING AS UPPER RIDGE REBUILDS OVER THE GREAT PLAINS. THIS WILL LEAVE US UNDER THE USUAL SEABREEZE REGIME WITH THE FAMILIAR DIURNAL CONVECTIVE CYCLE THROUGH THE WEEKEND WITH K...LI...AND PW IN THESE GENERAL RANGES MOST DAYS. AS TROUGH MOVES EAST IT WILL BE ISOLATED POPS FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE WEEK WITH THE SEA BREEZE FORCING AFTERNOON DEVELOPMENT. /77 && .MARINE...WE INCREASED THE WINDS OVER THE NEAR SHORE WATERS DURING THE AFTERNOON HOURS...CLOSER TO THE NAM/ETA12 FORECAST GIVEN THE PERSISTENT PATTERN OF A SLIGHTLY STRONGER AFTERNOON SEABREEZE. WE THINK MOST OF THE CONVECTION (THUNDERSTORMS) TODAY WILL FIRE OVER THE INLAND AREAS CLOSER TO THE SEABREEZE...BUT A FEW STORMS COULD WORK THEIR WAY BACK DOWN ALONG OUTFLOW BOUNDARIES TO THE COASTAL WATERS THIS EVENING LINGERING INTO TONIGHT. THE DIURNAL PATTERN OF VARIABLE WINDS AND NIGHT AND INCREASED SOUTHERLY WINDS DURING THE DAYTIME WILL CONTINUE INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK. IF THE UPPER LOW ALONG THE TEXAS COAST THIS MORNING HANGS OUT A LITTLE LONGER THAN EXPECTED TO THE WEST OF OUR AREA...WE COULD SEE GREATER COVERAGES OF NOCTURNAL THUNDERSTORMS OVER OUR MARINE ZONES TONIGHT AND AGAIN SATURDAY NIGHT. FOR NOW...WE WILL GO WITH THE MODEL CONSENSUS AND LIFT THE UPPER LOW TO THE NORTH AND WEAKEN IT. /05 && .FIRE WEATHER...GENERALLY DRY CONDITIONS CONTINUE THROUGH TODAY FOR MOST LOCATIONS BUT ABATE AS SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM CHANCES INCREASE OVER THE WEEKEND. AT THAT TIME THE UPPER TROUGH WILL APPROACH THE REGION BRINGING INCREASING MOISTURE THROUGH THE WEEKEND. THAT WILL KEEP RELATIVE HUMIDITY ABOVE CRITICAL. /77 && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
