AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MOBILE AL 400 PM CDT FRI JUN 23 2006 .SHORT TERM (TONIGHT AND SATURDAY)...SCATTERED STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS WILL GRADUALLY WEAKEN THROUGH THE MID EVENING HOURS. LARGE CAPES COMBINED WITH A SIGNIFICANT SURFACE TO FREEZING LEVEL LAPSE RATE RESULTED IN LARGE HAIL PRODUCTION WITH SOME STORMS VERIFYING WITH NICKEL TO GOLFBALL HAIL OVER THE COASTAL COUNTIES. A VERY SUPPORTIVE SUB-CLOUD PROFILE RESULTED IN SOME STORMS PRODUCING 50 KT DOWNBURSTS AS WELL WITH SOME REPORTS OF DOWNED TREES. BROOKLEY FIELD IN MOBILE HAD A 52 KT WIND GUST IN THE EARLY AFTERNOON HOURS. GIVEN THE LOSS OF DEEP INSOLATION...WEAKER CAPES AND A FAIR AMOUNT OF MOISTURE BEING EJECTED INTO THE MID LAYERS AND THE PROFILES BEING MODIFIED SOMEWHAT...THE COVERAGE OF SEVERE STORMS WILL LIKELY GO DOWN INTO THE EARLY EVENING HOURS. STILL...WE OPTED TO HIGHLIGHT A FEW STORMS MAY BE SEVERE INTO THE EARLY EVENING HOURS FOR AREAS ALONG AND WEST OF INTERSTATE 65. AS FOR TOMORROW...EXPECT MORE SCATTERED STORMS...AND A FEW COULD BE STRONG BUT NOT SURE WE WILL SEE A CARBON COPY REPEAT OF TODAY. /05 && .LONG TERM (SUNDAY THROUGH NEXT FRIDAY)...CONTINUED TO HIGHLIGHT CHANCE POPS THROUGH SUNDAY ACROSS THE AREA GIVEN THE UPPER TROUGH AMPLIFYING A BIT OVER THE SOUTHEASTERN STATES AND A WEAKENING FRONTAL BOUNDARY SLIPPING SLOWLY DOWN TO JUST NORTH OF OUR AREA BY SUNDAY. ALSO...WE HAVE TO KEEP WATCH ON A WEAK AREA OF LOW PRESSURE OVER THE BAHAMAS OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS. THIS FEATURE IS FORECAST BY THE MODELS TO SLIDE A BIT FURTHER WEST AND THEY SHOW A PATTERN SOMEWHAT CONDUCIVE FOR SLIGHT DEVELOPMENT. HOWEVER...WITH THE UPPER TROUGH SLIPPING ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA BY EARLY NEXT WEEK AND A SOMEWHAT STRONGER SHORTWAVE DRIVING THROUGH THE BASE OF THE TROUGH LATE MONDAY INTO TUESDAY...THE CHANCES ARE BETTER THAT IT WILL GET PICKED UP AND MOVED NORTHEAST IF IT EVEN MAKES IT INTO THE EASTERN GULFMEX EARLY NEXT WEEK. WE CONTINUED WITH ANOTHER PATTERN OF REDUCED RAIN CHANCES PAST NEXT MONDAY. /05 && .MARINE...HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE SOUTHEAST STATES WILL WEAKEN AS A WEAK LOW PRESSURE AREA APPROACHES THE REGION FROM FLORIDA BY EARLY NEXT WEEK. AFTERNOON SEA BREEZE WILL BRING BRIEF ONSHORE WINDS NEAR THE COAST. SCATTERED STRONG THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE NEAR SHORE IN THE AFTERNOON HOURS. && .FIRE WEATHER...SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS WILL DIMINISH THIS EVENING...WITH ADDITIONAL SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS DEVELOPING SATURDAY AFTERNOON AND AGAIN ON SUNDAY AS A WEAKENING FRONT STALLS JUST TO THE NORTH. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
