AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MOBILE AL 400 AM CDT WED NOV 3 2010 .SHORT TERM (TODAY AND TONIGHT)...WATER VAPOR IMAGERY INDICATED THE CLOSED UPPER UPPER LOW OVER SOUTHEAST TEXAS CONTINUES TO MOVE SOUTHEAST. MEANWHILE...SFC LOW PRESSURE WAS LOCATED ACROSS SOUTH CENTRAL LOUISIANA WITH A WARM FRONTAL BOUNDARY STRETCHING EASTWARD FROM THE LOW ACROSS COASTAL LOCATIONS. AHEAD OF THE LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM...WAVES OF PRIMARILY RAIN SHOWERS CONTINUE TO MOVE ACROSS PORTIONS OF THE CENTRAL GULF COAST. THE SFC LOW IS EXPECTED TO TRACK TO THE EAST-SOUTHEAST ACROSS OUR SOUTHERN MARINE ZONES THROUGH LATE TONIGHT. THIS WILL KEEP THE WARM FRONT ALONG THE COAST THIS MORNING THEN PULL IT OFFSHORE LATER TODAY AND TONIGHT. THUS MOST OF THE THUNDERSTORMS WILL REMAIN OFFSHORE WITH STORMS QUICKLY BECOMING ELEVATED AS THEY MOVE INLAND THROUGH THE DAY. NUMEROUS TO CATEGORICAL POPS THROUGH TONIGHT AS PLENTIFUL DEEP LAYER MOISTURE EXISTS ACROSS THE REGION AS THE LOW MOVES ACROSS THE MARINE AREA. GUIDANCE VALUES OFFERED A WIDE RANGE IN TEMPS TODAY AND TONIGHT WITH A SPREAD OF 5 TO 10 DEGREES IN PLACES. CONSIDERING THE THICK CLOUD COVER AND WIDESPREAD RAIN EXPECTED...TEMPS WILL LIKELY NOT GET AS HIGH AS THE MAV SUGGESTS. HAVE TRENDED BELOW THE MAV AND USED A BLEND OF THE MET GUIDANCE WHICH AGREES WELL WITH NEIGHBORING OFFICES. /13 THE UPPER LOW WEAKENS AND BECOMES ABSORBED BY THE LONGWAVE TROF OVER THE EASTERN STATES ON THURSDAY WHILE THE LIKEWISE WEAKENING SURFACE LOW CONTINUES TO TREK EASTWARD ACROSS THE NORTHEASTERN GULF. WITH THE WARM FRONTAL BOUNDARY ASSOCIATED WITH THE SYSTEM REMAINING OFFSHORE...THIS LEAVES THE FORECAST AREA IN AN OVERRUNNING PATTERN WITH ELEVATED THUNDERSTORMS POSSIBLE BUT APPEARS TO BE STRICTLY OVER THE MARINE AREA. ALTHOUGH A FAIRLY STRONG DEEP LAYER NORTHWESTERLY FLOW DEVELOPS DURING THE DAY OVER THE AREA...DEEP LAYER MOISTURE WILL BE STILL BE PRESENT EARLY ON OVER THE FAR SOUTHEAST PORTION OF THE FORECAST AREA SO HAVE STAYED WITH HIGHEST POPS THIS AREA TAPERING OFF WESTWARD...THEN POPS TAPER OFF TO MAINLY SLIGHT CHANCE POPS OVER THE FAR SOUTHEAST PORTION BY THURSDAY AFTERNOON. DRY CONDITIONS FOLLOW FOR THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT WITH TEMPERATURES TRENDING SHARPLY COOLER AS THE DEEP LAYER NORTHWEST FLOW USHERS A DOME OF COLD HIGH PRESSURE INTO THE SOUTHEAST STATES. WITH TEMPERATURES DROPPING INTO THE LOWER THIRTIES ACROSS MUCH OF THE INLAND AREAS STILL LOOKS LIKE PATCHY FROST AND MAYBE A LIGHT FREEZE WILL BE POSSIBLE ACROSS THE INLAND AREAS. ALTHOUGH THIS IS IN THE SIXTH FORECAST PERIOD HAVE OPTED TO ISSUE A SPS TO BRING ATTENTION TO THE UPCOMING COLD TEMPERATURES. /29 .LONG TERM (SATURDAY THROUGH TUESDAY)...THE LONGWAVE TROF OVER THE EASTERN STATES MOVES OFF INTO THE ATLANTIC THROUGH SUNDAY WITH MORE MODERATE RIDGING OVER THE PLAINS MOVING ACROSS THE AREA THROUGH TUESDAY. THE SURFACE HIGH OVER THE SOUTHEAST STATES SHIFTS GRADUALLY EASTWARD MEANWHILE ALLOWING FOR TEMPERATURES TO GRADUALLY MODERATE TO MORE SEASONABLE TEMPERATURES BY TUESDAY. SATURDAY NIGHT AND SUNDAY NIGHT WILL BE CONTINUE TO BE FAIRLY COLD AT LEAST OVER INLAND AREAS WITH OVERNIGHT LOWS IN THE MID THIRTIES OR SO WHICH MAY CONTINUE TO ALLOW FOR PATCHY FROST TO FORM. OPTED TO REMAIN WITH A DRY FORECAST THROUGH THE PERIOD AS THE WEAK INCIPIENT RETURN FLOW ON TUESDAY WILL NOT BE SUFFICIENT TO RETURN SUFFICIENT MOISTURE TO SUPPORT A MENTION OF PRECIP. /29 THE COLDEST NIGHTS THIS CYCLE WILL BE FRIDAY AND SATURDAY NIGHTS...AND WITH INLAND SURFACE WINDS BECOMING LIGHT WE MAY SEE AREAS OF FROST OR POSSIBLY A LIGHT FREEZE IN SOME LOCATIONS. && .MARINE...EAST TO SOUTHEAST FLOW WILL CONTINUE TODAY WITH EXERCISE CAUTION CONDITIONS THIS MORNING AS A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM APPROACHES THE AREA. WINDS WILL BRIEFLY DECREASE THIS AFTERNOON THROUGH TONIGHT AS THE SFC LOW WEAKENS AND THE PRESSURE GRADIENT RELAXES. AS THE LOW MOVES EAST OF THE AREA THURSDAY MORNING...A STRONG COLD FRONT WILL MOVE ACROSS THE MARINE AREA. A STRONG NORTHERLY FLOW WILL FOLLOW IN THE WAKE OF THIS FRONT THROUGH SATURDAY MORNING. A SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY WILL LIKELY BE REQUIRED DURING THIS TIMEFRAME. WINDS AND SEAS WILL DECREASE OVER THE WEEKEND AS HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS SOUTH ACROSS THE NORTHERN GULF. /13 && .AVIATION (12Z ISSUANCE)...IFR TO MVFR CONDITIONS WILL CONTINUE AT ALL TERMINALS THROUGH MUCH OF THE PERIOD AS A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM MOVES ACROSS THE NORTHERN GULF. WIDESPREAD RAIN SHOWERS CAN BE EXPECTED THROUGH TONIGHT WITH ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS POSSIBLE NEAR THE COAST. EASTERLY FLOW OF 10 TO 15 KNOTS WILL BECOME NORTHEAST TONIGHT. /13 && .FIRE WEATHER...VERY MOIST CONDITIONS KEEP RELATIVE HUMIDITIES WELL ABOVE CRITICAL LEVELS TODAY. DRIER AIR FLOWS INTO THE REGION THURSDAY INTO FRIDAY ALONG WITH COOLER TEMPERATURES.
