NWS Mobile, AL wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Aug 26, 2:30 PM CST, 1 hour 30 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MOBILE AL 330 PM CDT SUN AUG 26 2007 .SHORT TERM (TONIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT)...THIS AFTERNOONS SFC MAP INDICATES ONE HIGH PRESSURE RIDGE OVER THE NORTHEASTERN GULF AND ANOTHER HIGH CENTERED OVER THE GREAT LAKES. BETWEEN THE TWO...A WEAK TROUGH LIES EAST TO WEST ACROSS CENTRAL PORTIONS OF ALABAMA AND MISSISSIPPI. 65+ DEGREE DEWPOINTS NOTED OVER THE ENTIRE SOUTHEAST... WITH 70 TO 75+ DEGREE DEWPOINTS NOTED OVER OUR FCST AREA TO THE SOUTH OF THE TROUGH. WHILE WE DO HAVE CONVECTION FIRING ACROSS THE FCST AREA THIS AFTERNOON...IT IS FAIRLY SPOTTY AT THIS TIME AND DONT EXPECT COVERAGE TO INCREASE A WHOLE LOT LATER THIS AFTERNOON. STILL SEEING THE MID LEVEL DISTURBANCE SPINNING AROUND OVER THE NORTH CENTRAL GULF OF MEXICO...NEARLY STATIONARY SOUTH OF THE MOUTH OF THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER. MOST MODELS AGREE IN SLIGHTLY WEAKENING THIS FEATURE AND MOVING IT VERY LITTLE THROUGH MONDAY...WITH SOME WEAK VORTICITY ROTATING UP AND AROUND INTO OUR FCST AREA ON MONDAY. THIS...COMBINED WITH THE SFC TROUGH MENTIONED ABOVE AND AIDED BY DAYTIME HEATING...SHOULD ALLOW FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE FCST ON MONDAY. CONVECTION COVERAGE LESS THAN EARLIER EXPECTED FOR THIS AFTERNOON...BUT WITH A DAY OF RECOVERY...THE LIKELY POPS FOR TOMORROW SEEMS REASONABLE. THIS MORNINGS SWODY2 DISCUSSION FOR THE LOWER MS VALLEY REGION INDICATING A DEVELOPING LOW-LEVEL JET ACROSS FAR SRN MS BY MIDDAY MONDAY WITH THUNDERSTORMS DEVELOPING NEAR THE LOW-LEVEL JET IN THE AFTERNOON AND MOVING INLAND ACROSS SRN MS...SE LA AND SRN AL. SPC INDICATES THAT FORECAST SOUNDINGS FOR MONDAY SUGGEST THE LOW-LEVEL JET MAY CREATE STRONG LOW-LEVEL SHEAR PROFILES WHICH MAY BE FAVORABLE FOR A MARGINAL TORNADO THREAT AND/OR WIND DAMAGE THREAT WITH THE BETTER ORGANIZED CELLS. APPEARS THEY WERE LEANING MORE TOWARD THE NAM SOLUTION...BUT AS HPC NOTED...THE NAM IS BRINGING MORE ENERGY ACROSS THE MISSISSIPPI DELTA AROUND 00Z/29 WEDNESDAY THAN ITS 00Z/26 RUN WHILE THE GFS SHOWS REASONABLE CONTINUITY OVER THIS REGION AND IS SUPPORTED BY THE MOST RECENT ECMWF...GEM...AND UKMET SOLUTIONS. SO WE HAVE LEANED TOWARD THE WEAKER GFS SOLUTION FOR THE SHORT TERM PERIOD AND WONT GET CARRIED AWAY WITH SVR THREAT AT THIS TIME (ALTHOUGH AN ISOLATED STRONG/SVR PULSE STORM IS ALWAYS POSSIBLE THIS TIME OF THE YEAR). RAIN CHANCES SLIGHTLY LOWER TUESDAY AND TUESDAY NIGHT AS UPPER RIDGING BEGINS TO BUILD OVER THE REGION...AND CONTINUES INTO LONG TERM PERIOD. LOOK FOR TEMPS TO BE AT OR JUST ABOVE CLIMO FOR THIS TIME OF THE YEAR. 12/DS THE WET MICROBURST RISK FOR THIS AFTERNOON/EVENING IS MODERATE. && .LONG TERM (WEDNESDAY THROUGH NEXT SUNDAY)...NO CHANGES MADE TO PREVIOUS LONG TERM PACKAGE. AS MENTIONED...HIGH PRESSURE BOTH SFC AND ALOFT CONTINUES OVER THE REGION ON WEDNESDAY...BUT BEGINS TO BREAK DOWN THU AND FRI PER GFS. ALSO NOTED POSSIBLE TROPICAL WAVE MOVING INTO EASTERN GULF LATE WEEK AND INTO NEXT WEEKEND...BUT FOR NOW IT LOOKS LIKE ANY EFFECTS FROM THIS WILL REMAIN TO OUR SOUTH. WILL CONTINUE WITH MORE SEASONAL POPS AND JUST ABOVE NORMAL TEMPS FOR MID WEEK INTO THE WEEKEND. 12/DS && .MARINE...A WEAK SURFACE RIDGE REMAINS GENERALLY IN PLACE OVER THE NORTHERN GULF THROUGH THURSDAY. A LIGHT SOUTHEASTERLY WIND PREVAILS UNTIL TUESDAY NIGHT WHEN A DIURNAL WIND PATTERN OF LIGHT ONSHORE DURING THE DAY AND LIGHT OFFSHORE AT NIGHT ENSUES. SEAS WILL BE 1 TO 2 FEET. 13/JC && .FIRE WEATHER...SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL BECOME MORE NUMEROUS ACROSS MOST OF THE REGION THROUGH THE EARLY PART OF THE WEEK AS A WEAK FRONTAL BOUNDARY DROPS INTO THE SOUTHEASTERN STATES AND BECOMES NEARLY STATIONARY. WITH THIS...EXPECT MORE IN THE WAY OF CLOUD COVER AND LESS HOT AFTERNOON TEMPERATURES AS WELL. LIGHT BOUNDARY LAYER WINDS WILL KEEP DAYTIME DISPERSIONS FROM BECOMING TOO HIGH. SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE NORTHEASTERN GULF OF MEXICO WILL CONTINUE TO RESULT IN AN ONSHORE FLOW...KEEPING ATMOSPHERIC MOISTURE LEVELS HIGH THROUGH THE UPCOMING WEEK. NO HEADLINES. 12/DS && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
