AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MOBILE AL 440 AM CDT SAT JUL 7 2007 .SHORT TERM (TODAY AND TONIGHT)...A COUPLE OF AREAS TO CONSIDER IN THE EARLY GOING. FORECASTERS ARE SEEING ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS OVER THE MARINE ZONES FROM SHORE TO 20 NM OUT...MOVING EASTWARD AT 15 TO 20 KNOTS. THESE HAVE HELD TOGETHER THROUGH THE EARLY MORNING SHIFT...SO EXPECT THE IMMEDIATE GULF COAST INCLUDING THE BEACHES TO POSSIBLY SEE SOME WET WEATHER THROUGH DAWN AND INTO THE MID MORNING. THE ENVIRONMENT ALSO SUPPORTS WATERSPOUTS AND GIVEN CONVECTIVE RETURNS ON THE RADAR...THIS WILL BE SOMETHING TO WATCH OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL HOURS...ESPECIALLY AFTER SUNRISE. ANOTHER AREA OF COLD CLOUD TOPS=>SHOWERS AND A FEW THUNDERSTORMS WAS SLIDING EASTWARD OUT OF CENTRAL MISSISSIPPI. TO ACCOUNT FOR LATEST TRENDS OBSERVED IN SATELLITE AND RADAR DATA THERE...HAVE POSTED A HIGHER COVERAGE OF MORNING WEATHER OVER THE INTERIOR. FORECAST AREA CONTINUES TO BE INFLUENCED BY A SERIES OF MID LEVEL DISTURBANCES EJECTING EASTWARD OUT OF A WEAKNESS/SHEAR AXIS IN THE UPPER ATMOSPHERE POSITIONED OVER TEXAS. A STALLED FRONTAL ZONE REMAINS DRAPED FROM THE CAROLINAS WESTWARD ACROSS ALABAMA... MISSISSIPPI...AND ON BACK INTO SOUTHERN TEXAS. DEEP LAYER MOISTURE HAS CHANGED LITTLE OVER THE PAST 24 HOURS WITH PRECIPITABLE WATERS NEAR THE 2 INCH MARK. REMAINS UNSETTLED. CONTINUE TO MAINTAIN A WEST TO EAST STRATA IN THE THUNDERSTORM COVERAGE WITH THE INTERIOR LOOKING TO SEE THE HIGHER TODAY. AN EASTWARD MOVEMENT THROUGH THE FORECAST AREA IS EXPECTED TONIGHT WITH COVERAGES TAPERING BACK LATE. IN ADDITION TO HEAVY RAINS...STRONG STORMS TODAY WILL LIKELY CONTAIN FREQUENT LIGHTNING AND BRIEF WIND GUSTS OF 35 TO 45 MPH. NOT EXPECTING ANY MAJOR CHANGES IN THE TEMPERATURE DEPARTMENT. TODAYS WET MICROBURST RISK IS MODERATE. /10 .LONG TERM (SUNDAY THROUGH NEXT SATURDAY)...GRADUAL PATTERN CHANGE BY EARLY NEXT WEEK IS STILL ADVERTISED IN THE LATEST SUITES OF MODEL GUIDANCE. THE SFC TO MIDLEVEL LOW ACROSS NORTHERN MS AND AL WILL GRADUALLY TRANSITION EASTWARD INTO NORTHERN GEORGIA ON SUNDAY. THE LATEST GFS/GEM FORECASTS ARE SUPPORTED BY THE PREVIOUS 2 SREF PACKAGES IN SHOWING HEAVIER RAINS SHIFTING EAST AND THE MIDLEVEL TROUGH JUST EAST OF OUR AREA SUNDAY AFTERNOON. THE NET RESULT IS SLIGHTLY HIGHER POPS/QPF OVER OUR NORTHEASTERN ZONES SUNDAY... ALTHOUGH GENERALLY ADVERTISING 0.25 INCHES OF QPF OR LESS GIVEN THE MIDLEVEL SHEAR AXIS WILL BY THEN BE ALONG THE AL/GA BORDER. FOR MONDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY...THE LATEST GFS AND SREF PACKAGES ADVERTISE THE UPPER RIDGE OVER THE WESTERN ATLANTIC BUILDING WEST ACROSS THE NORTHERN GULF...WITH DRYING AND WARMING OF THE MIDLEVELS ACROSS THE GULF AND SOUTHERN ZONES. WITH FORECAST PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES DOWN AROUND 1.5 INCHES AND INLAND TEMPS WARNING INTO THE MID 90S...THAT SHOULD SUPPORT 30 POPS FOR THE AFTERNOON SEABREEZE CONVECTION OVER THE INLAND AREAS THROUGH THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK. THE UPPER RIDGE OVER THE NORTHERN GULF STARTS TO BREAK DOWN BY FRIDAY AS THE UPPER TROUGH FROM NORTHERN TEXAS TO NEW ENGLAND STARTS TO SLIP SOUTHEASTWARD NEXT WEEKEND. IT LOOKS LIKE ANOTHER UPPER LOW WILL START TO DEEPEN OVER NORTHERN TEXAS BY NEXT SATURDAY. WE MAY ALSO HAVE A TROPICAL WAVE TRANSLATING NORTHWEST THROUGH THE FLORIDA STRAITS BY LATE NEXT WEEK AS WELL...BUT NOTHING OF SIGNIFICANCE IS SEEN ON THE LONG RANGE SCOPES AS FAR AS THE TROPICS ARE CONCERNED FOR OUR REGION AT THIS TIME. /05 && .MARINE....A WEAK FRONTAL BOUNDARY OVER THE SOUTHERN STATES WEAKENS INTO THE WEEKEND AS HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS WESTWARD ACROSS FLORIDA AND INTO THE CENTRAL GULF. A LIGHT WEST TO SOUTHWEST FLOW IS FORECAST THROUGH MUCH OF THE PERIOD WITH LITTLE CHANGE IN SEAS. WHEN PLANNING YOUR TRIP OFFSHORE...THUNDERSTORMS NEED TO BE CONSIDERED. /10 && .FIRE WEATHER...GREATER COVERAGES OF STORMS IS EXPECTED OVER THE INLAND COUNTIES TODAY CLOSER TO THE WEAK PASSING LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM TO THE NORTH. TRANSPORT FLOW TODAY SHOULD BE MORE SOUTHWESTERLY AROUND 15 KNOTS. /05 && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
