AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MOBILE AL 319 PM CDT TUE JUN 12 2007 .SYNOPSIS...FOR THE CURRENT FORECAST...HOT TEMPS AND THE CHANCE OF PRECIP ARE THE BIGGEST ITEMS TO DEAL WITH IN THE SHORT TERM. REASON FOR THE CURRENT ACTIVITY OVER THE AREA IS A SHORTWAVE SWINGING SOUTH OVER THE CAROLINAS AS I TYPE AROUND AN UPPER LOW OFF THE NEW ENGLAND COAST. THIS UPPER ENERGY IS PUSHING THE UPPER RIDGE...CURRENTLY STRETCHING FROM MX TO THE CA PLAINS. ANOTHER SHORTWAVE SYSTEM IS MOVING OVER THE CO ROCKIES...HELPING TO SHARPEN THE RIDGE. IN THE LOWER LEVELS OF THE TROPOSPHERE...THE RIDGE HAS CREATED UNSEASONABLY WARM TEMPS OVER THE FA AND POINTS WEST. GULF BREEZE MOVING INLAND HAS FIRED OFF STORMS ALONG THE MS/AL/FL GULF COAST...WITH AN OLD BOUNDARY CREATING THE CONVERGENCE MECHANISM INLAND OVER THE MS/LA STATE LINE. THE SHORTWAVE MOVING SOUTH OVER THE EAST COAST HAS FIRED OFF SOME BOOMERS TO OUR NORTH. NEEDLESS TO SAY...WHERE HOT TEMPS AND UPPER ENERGY COME TOGETHER...THE STORMS HAVE BECOME QUITE STRONG. && .SHORT TERM (TONIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT)...GUIDANCE IS ADVERTISING THE UPPER SHORTWAVE SWING SOUTH OVER THE SOUTHEASTERN CONUS ATLANTIC SEABOARD...THEN SOUTHEAST OVER THE NORTHERN CARIBBEAN WEDNESDAY...WITH THE ROCKIES SYSTEM PUSHING INTO THE PLAINS RIDGE. GUIDANCE IS ADVERTISING AN UPPER TROUGH SETTING UP OVER THE EASTERN EASTERN SEABOARD AND SOUTHEASTERN CONUS BY THURS...WITH NAM ADVERTISING THE FA MORE ON THE FRONT END OF THE TROUGH...GFS UNDER THE BACK SIDE OF THE TROUGH. BOTH ARE ADVERTISING DRY AIR WELL TO OUR NORTH PUSHING SOUTHWEST...STAYING WELL NORTH OF THE AREA...SO AM EXPECTING THE SUMMER STEAMIES TO CONTINUE. THIS WEAKENING UPPER RIDGE WILL RESULT IN DAYTIME TEMPS NOT QUITE REACHING THE RECORD SETTING LEVELS OF TODAY. DID GO A BIT ABOVE THE COOLER...DRYER GFS/MAV GUIDANCE (AFTER TONIGHT)...THOUGH DIDNT DEVIATE WITH THE MINS. .LONG TERM (FRIDAY ON)...BY FRIDAY...GUIDANCE IS ADVERTISING THE PLAINS UPPER RIDGE GONE AS ROCKIES SYSTEM...NOW OVER THE SOUTHERN PLAINS AND SEVERAL SYSTEMS PASSING OVER THE NORTHERN THIRD OF THE CONUS...WITH THE RIDGE BUILDING NORTH OVER THE DESERT SOUTHWEST. GUIDANCE ISNT TO ENTHUSIASTIC IN TAKING THE SYSTEM OVER THE SOUTHERN PLAINS EAST...INSTEAD FILLING IT IN THROUGH THE WEEKEND...THEN KICKING OFF AS ANOTHER UPPER SYSTEM DIGS SOUTH OVER THE NORTHERN ROCKIES. && .MARINE...THE SERIES OF MID LEVEL SHORTWAVES MOVES SOUTHWARD THROUGH THE EXTREME SOUTHEAST STATES WITH A SURFACE REFLECTION TROF SHIFTING FROM OVER THE INLAND AREA TO THE NORTHERN GULF OVERNIGHT. THE LARGE DOME OF HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE NORTHEAST STATES WEDGES INTO THE SOUTHEAST STATES MEANWHILE AND INTO THE MARINE AREA ON WEDNESDAY ALLOWING FOR WINDS TO VEER TO THE SOUTHEAST. SURFACE RIDGING BUILDS INTO THE NORTHEASTERN GULF THROUGH FRIDAY AND REMAINS IN PLACE THROUGH SUNDAY PROMOTING A LIGHT AND GENERALLY SOUTHERLY WIND FLOW. LITTLE CHANGE IN SEAS THROUGH THE PERIOD. /29 && .FIRE WEATHER...SOME RAIN WILL COME TOT HE EASTERN THIRD OF THE FA INTO TONIGHT AS AN UPPER SYSTEM INDUCED PRECIP MOVES SOUTH OVER SOUTHEASTERN AL. AM EXPECTING A DEEP MIXING LAYER TO CONTINUE THROUGH THE WEEK...WITH A RETURN OF RAIN THURSDAY. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...

AND ADJACENT COASTAL WATERS. .DAY ONE...TODAY AND TONIGHT SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL BECOME BETTER DEVELOPED LATER TODAY NEAR AND ALONG A WEAK FRONTAL BOUNDARY GENERALLY LOCATED OVER NORTHERN AND EASTERN SECTIONS OF THE FORECAST AREA. DUE TO BETTER FORCING IN THE MID TO UPPER LEVELS OF THE ATMOSPHERE COMBINED WITH SUFFICIENT MOISTURE IN THE LOWER LEVELS DAMAGING WINDS AND LARGE HAIL WILL BE POSSIBLE WITH SOME OF THE STRONGER STORMS. THE BEST CHANCE FOR SEVERE WEATHER TO OCCUR WILL BE GENERALLY EAST OF THE I-65 CORRIDOR STRETCHING SOUTH TO INLAND AREAS OF THE WESTERN FLORIDA PANHANDLE. FURTHER TO THE WEST ANOTHER HOT DAY IS FORECASTED RESULTING IN HEAT INDICES RANGING FROM 100 TO 105 DEGREES DURING THE AFTERNOON HOURS. THE HOT AND DRY CONDITIONS WILL ALSO ENHANCE THE WILDFIRE RISK ACROSS THE AREA. THE THREAT OF SEVERE WEATHER WILL DROP SIGNIFICANTLY AFTER SUNSET WHEN SURFACE TEMPERATURES COOL TO THE 70S. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY NO WIDESPREAD SEVERE OR HAZARDOUS WEATHER IS EXPECTED AT THIS TIME. .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT... ACTIVATION OF STORM SPOTTERS AND EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT OFFICIALS FOR SEVERE WEATHER OPERATIONS WILL NOT BE REQUIRED THROUGH TONIGHT.
