NWS Mobile, AL wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Jul 23, 2:15 PM CST, 5 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MOBILE AL 315 PM CDT MON JUL 23 2007 .SHORT TERM...(TONIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY)...SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS CONTINUE TO DEVELOP ACROSS THE AREA ON THE EAST SIDE OF AN INVERTED TROUGH AXIS IN A REGION OF ENHANCED MLCAPE THAT IS NEAR 2000 J/KG. IN THE UPPER LEVELS...AN UPPER LEVEL TROUGH STRETCHES FROM A CLOSED UPPER LEVEL LOW OVER THE VIRGINIAS SOUTHWEST TO THE CENTRAL GULF COAST. THESE TWO FEATURES COMBINED WITH A VERY MOIST AIRMASS AND DAYTIME HEATING WILL CONTINUE TO SUPPORT THE DEVELOPMENT OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS THROUGH LATE EVENING. IN FACT...WHILE THE INVERTED TROUGH WILL SLIDE WESTWARD...THE CONTINUED PRESENCE OF THE UPPER TROUGH COULD ALLOW FOR AN ISOLATED SHOWER OR THUNDERSTORM TO DEVELOP OVERNIGHT. THUS WILL CONTINUE THE SCT POPS THROUGH MIDNIGHT AND THEN LEAVE ISOLATED POPS AFTER MIDNIGHT INLAND W/ SCT OFFSHORE. SAME PLAYERS EXPECTED ON TUESDAY ALTHOUGH THE INVERTED TROUGH IS EXPECTED TO BE FARTHER WEST THAN TODAY. EXPECTED SCATTERED DEVELOPMENT OFFSHORE TONIGHT AND THEN SCATTERED TO POSSIBLY NUMEROUS DEVELOPMENT INLAND DURING THE LATE MORNING INTO THE AFTERNOON HOURS. LINGERING UPPER TROUGH ALONG W/ A CONTINUED MOIST AIRMASS WILL AGAIN LEAD TO SCATTERED DEVELOPMENT ON WEDNESDAY. WEAK UPPER LEVEL SHEAR WILL LIMIT THE ORGANIZED SEVERE THREAT. THE GREATEST THREAT WILL BE FROM GUSTY WINDS ASSOCIATED WITH WET MICROBURSTS ALONG W/ HEAVY RAINS. /13 THIS AFTERNOONS WET MICROBURST RISK IS MODERATE. .LONG TERM...(THURSDAY THROUGH NEXT MONDAY)...A RIDGE OF SFC HIGH PRESSURE STRETCHING FROM THE WESTERN ATLANTIC WESTWARD TO THE CENTRAL GULF COAST WILL CONTINUE THROUGH MUCH OF THE PERIOD. IN THE UPPER LEVELS...A WEAK UPPER TROUGH ORIGINATING FROM AN UPPER LOW OVER THE GREAT LAKES WILL ALLOW BETTER THAN NORMAL SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM CHANCES THROUGH THE EXTENDED RANGE (40-50 PERCENT). THESE WILL COME MAINLY IN THE AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING HOURS. EARLY IN THE WEEKEND THE CLOSED LOW OPENS UP AND MOVES SLOWLY EAST THROUGH THE WEEKEND...HOWEVER A SHEAR AXIS IS LEFT BEHIND ACROSS THE REGION. THIS WILL CONTINUE TO AIDE AFTERNOON THUNDERSTORMS DEVELOPMENT INTO NEXT MONDAY IN AN ATMOSPHERE THAT WILL REMAIN VERY MOIST (PW VALUES 1.8-2.0 INCHES) AND WILL BECOME UNSTABLE W/ DAYTIME HEATING. /13 && .MARINE...WE ISSUED ANOTHER UPDATE A FEW MINUTES AGO TO BRING THE WINDS UP EVEN FARTHER (INTO THE 15 TO 25 KT RANGE) OVER THE WESTERN MARINE ZONES. THE WINDS HAVE BEEN STEADILY INCREASING DURING THE COURSE OF THE DAY FOR AREAS WEST OF DESTIN. THIS AREA OF INCREASED WIND IS ON THE NORTHEAST SIDE OF A WEAK 1013MB LOW TRACKING SLOWLY WEST JUST OFF THE MOUTH OF THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER. THE WIND GENERATED SEAS HAVE RESPONDED SLOWLY BUT WE ARE NOW GETTING SOME 3 AND 4 FOOT REPORTS OFFSHORE...AND WILL ADJUST THE FORECAST ACCORDINGLY. WE KEEP THE GUSTY SOUTHEAST FLOW GOING TONIGHT AND HEADLINE SMALL CRAFT SHOULD EXERCISE CAUTION GIVEN THE SLOW MOVEMENT OF THE LOW TO THE WEST. THE LOW TRANSLATES FAR ENOUGH TO THE WEST TOMORROW AND FILLS/WEAKENS TO THE POINT TO WHERE WE CAN BACK THE WINDS DOWN TO 10 TO 15 KNOTS OUT OF THE SOUTH. /05 && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
