AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MOBILE AL 1100 AM CDT SAT JUL 14 2007 .UPDATE...HAVE CLEANED UP THE TEXT PRODUCTS. SO FAR...EVERYTHING LOOKS TO BE ON TRACK...WITH A POSSIBLE EXCEPTION BEING TEMPS. MAY END UP BEING ON THE COOL SIDE OF THE FORECAST TEMPS...BUT HARD TO PICK OUT WHERE AT THIS TIME. 16 && ********** PREVIOUS FROM 400 AM ********************* .SHORT TERM....(TODAY AND TONIGHT)...A WEAK STATIONARY BOUNDARY CONTINUES TO EXTEND ACROSS CENTRAL PORTIONS OF AL/MS THIS MORNING...WITH A WARM AND MOIST AIRMASS REMAINING IN PLACE ACROSS THE REGION. THIS BOUNDARY WILL CONTINUE TO PROVIDE A LOLVL FOCUS FOR SHRA/TSRA OVER INTERIOR ZONES TODAY AND TONIGHT...WITH AFTERNOON SEA BREEZE PROVIDING FORCING CLOSER TO THE COAST. THESE SFC FEATURES WILL CONTINUE TO BE SUPPORTED BY A CONTINUED SERIES OF MID/UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCES THAT WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE WEST TO EAST ACROSS THE SOUTHEASTERN STATES IN THE BASE OF A BROAD UPPER TROF. WITH THIS...WILL CONTINUE TO SEE GOOD TO LIKELY CHANCES FOR AFTERNOON CONVECTION TODAY...LASTING INTO THE EARLY EVENING HOURS AS HAS BEEN THE TREND FOR THE PAST COUPLE OF DAYS. WE HAVE A CONSIDERABLE DIFFERENCE IN MOS POP GUIDANCE THIS MORNING...WITH MAV ADVERTISING 40-50 PERCENT POPS FOR TODAY ACROSS THE FCST AREA...WITH THE MET SHOWING HIGHER 70-80 PERCENT POPS. PREVIOUSLY WE WERE ADVERTISING A 60 PERCENT POP FOR TODAY OVER MOST ZONES...WHICH SPLITS MOS NUMBERS AND SEEMED REASONABLE TO LEAVE TODAYS POPS WITH PREVIOUS NUMBERS. USED THE LOWER MAV MOS POPS FOR THIS EVENING...WITH RAIN CHANCES ENDING ONCE AGAIN ACROSS THE REGION AFTER MIDNIGHT TONIGHT. WITH EXPECTED CLOUDS AND PCPN...WENT CLOSER TO MET MOS FOR TODAYS MAX TEMPS...MAV MOS MIN TEMPS FOR TONIGHT LOOKED OK. HEAT INDEX VALUES THIS AFTERNOON CALCULATED TO BE IN THE MID 90S COASTAL SECTIONS AND LOW TO MID 90S OVER INTERIOR ZONES. /12 WET MICROBURST RISK FOR TODAY IS MODERATE. SHORT TERM (SUNDAY THROUGH MONDAY)...SERIES OF EMBEDDED VORTLOBES WILL TRANSIT CWA AT APPROX 500 MB WEST TO SOUTHWEST FLOW AND PASS THROUGH THE CWA DURING THE WEEKEND. THE GFS HAS THE FIRST ONE ARRIVING EARLY SUNDAY...BUT THIS FAR OUT THE TIME FORECAST IS DEBATABLE WITHIN 6 HOURS DUE TO DIMINISHING FORECAST SKILL OF SUCH SMALL FEATURES BUT...WITH THE LARGER FEATURES ESPECIALLY THE UPPER TROUGH TO ARRIVE LATE SUNDAY...SURFACE BOUNDARY NEAR...AND DAYTIME HEATING MAXIMIZING IN THE AFTERNOON...WILL FORECAST SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS SUNDAY.CONVECTION WILL SHUT DOWN OVERNIGHT OVER LAND RESTARTING THE DAY FOLLOWING...WHICH WILL GO ON THROUGH THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS. THE DOMINANCE OF THE SURFACE PICTURE BY A RIDGE NOSING IN FROM THE BAHAMAS WILL CONFINE THE WEATHERMAKERS TO MESOSCALE PROCESSES...VIS-A-VIS SEABREEZE. PRECIPITABLE WATER 2 TO 2.25 INCHES BUT MAY LOWER BY LATE IN THE WEEK. THE HEAVY RAINER THREAT AXIS SEEMS TO HAVE SHIFTED A BIT CLOSER TO THE BEACH PER HPC FORECAST...BUT THE GFS AND NAM HAVE IT CONSIDERABLY FURTHER NORTH FOLLOWING THE PATTERN WE MENTIONED YESTERDAY...WITH SPREADING 850 TO 300 MB THICKNESS LINES AND 850 THETA-E RIDGE IN AREA. HOWEVER...ONE WOULD ALSO CONSIDER THE EFFECT OF THE MESOSCALE EFFECT OF THE SEABREEZE AND WE WOULD SOLIDLY CONCUR WITH SUCH AN ASSERTION. HENCE...BELIEVE CONVECTIVE TRAINING OVER A GIVEN AREA WILL ALLOW ACCUMULATION OF HEAVY RAINFALL. HIGHER CHANCES FOR RAIN MEANS MORE CLOUD COVER SUPPRESSING A LOT OF THE DAYTIME HEATING. HIGH TEMPS FOR SUNDAY NORTHWEST WERE WAY TOO HIGH...ALMOST AUTUMN LIKE...AND IT APPEARED THE MAV WAS INTENSIFYING COLD FRONTAL EFFECTS. ADJUSTED SUNDAY MAV TEMP WAY UP IN THE NORTHWEST ZONES ONLY. /77 .LONG TERM...(MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY)...HIGH WILL BUILD ACROSS THE AREA MONDAY AND TUESDAY BRINGING RELATIVELY DRY AIR TO THE AREA AND LOWER CHANCES OF RAIN. ANOTHER WEAK SURFACE TROUGH WILL DEVELOP ACROSS THE AREA WEDNESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY AND BRING BACK A TYPICAL SUMMERTIME PATTERN WITH AFTERNOON AND EVENING SHRA/TSRA WITH TEMPERATURES BACK NEAR SUMMERTIME NORMAL. POPS WERE WAY TOO HIGH MOST DAYS. ADJUSTED AND POPS CONSIDERABLY LOWER THAN MEX GUIDANCE. SURROUNDING OFFICES WERE NOT BUYING EITHER. OTHERWISE STUCK CLOSE TO GFS NUMBERS ON HIGH AND LOW TEMPS IN EXTENDED. /77 && .MARINE...THE SURFACE RIDGE OVER THE EASTERN GULF WILL GRADUALLY LIFT NORTHWARD INTO THE SOUTHEASTERN STATES BY THE EARLY PART OF NEXT WEEK AND CONTINUE OVER THE REGION THROUGH THE END OF THE WEEK. WITH THIS...A GENERALLY LIGHT TO MODERATE FLOW WILL CONTINUE OVER THE COASTAL WATERS FOR THE NEXT FIVE DAYS. AS THE RIDGE SHIFTS NORTH...WEST TO SOUTHWESTERLY WINDS DURING THE EARLY PART OF THIS WEEKEND WILL BECOME MORE SOUTHERLY BY LATE SUNDAY THEN EVENTUALLY MORE SOUTHEASTERLY BY THE MIDDLE PART OF THE WEEK. SHRA/TSRA OVER THE MARINE AREA WILL BECOME MORE WIDELY SCATTERED TOWARD THE END OF THE FCST PERIOD AS HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS. LITTLE CHANGE IN SEAS EXPECTED...GENERALLY NO MORE THAN 2 FEET THROUGH MOST OF THE FCST PERIOD. /12 && .FIRE WEATHER...NO CONCERNS DUE TO PRECIPITATION DURING THE WEEKEND. /77 && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
