NWS Mobile, AL wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Jun 7, 12:18 PM CST, 1 hour 22 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MOBILE AL 118 PM CDT TUE JUN 7 2011 .AVIATION (18Z ISSUANCE)...PREDOMINATE VFR CONDITIONS EXPECTED THROUGH THE TAF PERIOD. A MOIST SOUTHEAST WIND ON THE BACKSIDE OF A WEAK LOW MOVING INTO THE MS SOUND WILL HELP TO GENERATE SCATTERED CONVECTION THIS AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING. ONCE CONVECTION WANES OVERNIGHT...THE PRIMARY CONCERN WILL BE PATCHY STRATUS DEVELOPING CLOSE TO THE COAST. DIURNAL CUMULUS WITH BASES AROUND 3-4 KFT DEVELOP BY MID WEDNESDAY MORNING. 34/JFB && .MESOSCALE UPDATE...A MCV GENERATED FROM A THUNDERSTORM COMPLEX LAST NIGHT TO OUR EAST IS CURRENTLY DRIFTING WEST JUST SOUTH OF THE MS BARRIER ISLANDS. THIS FEATURE HAS ALREADY RESULTED IN DEVELOPMENT OF ISOLATED CONVECTION ALONG THE ALABAMA COASTAL COUNTIES AND OFFSHORE. AS THE MCV AND ITS ASSOCIATED WEAK SFC LOW CONTINUE TO SHIFT WEST...THE WIND FLOW OVER OUR REGION WILL BE PREDOMINATELY OUT OF THE SOUTH/SOUTHEAST...ALLOWING FOR THE ADVECTION OF MOIST GULF AIR INTO THE REGION. DESPITE THE CLOUDINESS SEEN THIS MORNING... MLCAPES HAVE ALREADY CLIMBED ABOVE 2500 J/KG ACROSS COASTAL BALDWIN COUNTY EAST INTO THE COASTAL PORTIONS OF THE FL PANHANDLE. INSTABILITY WILL CONTINUE TO RISE WITH ADDITIONAL HEATING WITH TEMPERATURES CLIMBING INTO THE LOW TO MID 90S FOR MUCH OF THE AREA...WITH UPPER 90S STILL LIKELY IN THE FAR INTERIOR. MLCAPES ARE FORECAST TO EXCEED 3000 J/KG THIS AFTERNOON OVER THE SOUTHERN HALF OF THE CWA. GIVEN THE FACT THAT NO MID LEVEL CAPPING IS PRESENT...WE EXPECT THE DEVELOPMENT OF SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS THIS AFTERNOON. COASTAL AREAS WILL AGAIN BE A FAVORED AREA OF DEVELOPMENT...BUT CHANCES ALSO INCREASE FURTHER INLAND AS THE LIGHT SE FLOW PREVENTS THE DEGREE OF MIXING SEEN THE PAST FEW DAYS. THE WET MICROBURST RISK CONTINUES TO BE HIGH FOR THIS AFTERNOON...IN LARGE PART DUE TO THE INSTABILITY VALUES SEEN...BUT ALSO DUE TO STEEP LOW LEVEL LAPSE RATES. HAIL WILL AGAIN BE POSSIBLE GIVEN THE DEGREE OF INSTABILITY IN THE HAIL GROWTH ZONE...WITH THE POTENTIAL OF UP TO QUARTER SIZE HAIL IN ANY VIGOROUS UPDRAFT THAT CAN BECOME SUSTAINED (I.E. YESTERDAY'S FOLEY/SUMMERDALE STORM). 34/JFB && .PREVIOUS DISCUSSION (ISSUED 525 AM CDT TUE JUN 7 2011)... .SHORT TERM...(TODAY AND TONIGHT)A WEAK AREA OF LOW PRESSURE NEAR THE ALABAMA AND NORTHWEST FLORIDA COAST WILL SHIFT WEST TODAY AND TONIGHT LEADING TO SLIGHTLY BETTER MOISTURE ADVECTION IN THE LOWER TO MID LEVELS FOR MOST OF THE CWFA THROUGH TONIGHT. THIS PATTERN WILL RESULT IN SLIGHTLY BETTER COVERAGE OF THUNDERSTORMS FOR MOST OF THE CWFA LATER TODAY AND EARLY TONIGHT. LATEST MODEL SOUNDINGS CONTINUE TO DEPICT BETTER INSTABILITY NEAR THE COAST WITH CAPES REACHING OR EXCEEDING 3000 J/KG BY LATE MORNING AND EARLY AFTERNOON. MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES ARE ALSO RUNNING A BIT ABOVE NORMAL SUGGESTING GOOD CELL GROWTH LATER THIS MORNING AND THIS AFTERNOON. WITH SOME DRY AIR ALOFT COMBINED WITH A DECENT MID LEVEL FORCING FROM MAIN IMPULSE TRACKING WEST JUST SOUTH OF THE COAST BELIEVE WE COULD SEE MORE STRONG TO POSSIBLY SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS DEVELOPING OVER SOUTHERN PARTS OF THE CWFA BY MIDDAY SHIFTING INLAND ALONG A DEVELOPING SEABREEZE DURING THE AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING HOURS. MAIN THREAT WITH THE STRONGER THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE DAMAGING STRAIGHT LINE WINDS AND SMALL TO MEDIUM SIZE HAIL. AS FOR TEMPS WILL CONTINUE TO LEAN TOWARDS THE WARMER MET GUIDANCE GOING 1 TO 2 DEGREES ABOVE NEAR THE COAST AND 2 TO 3 DEGREES ABOVE FOR MOST INLAND AREA. THERE WILL BE A MIX OF CLOUDS AND SUN MOSTLY THROUGH MIDDAY FOLLOWED BY MORE CLOUDS THAN SUN IN THE AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING HOURS. 32/EE WET MICROBURST RISK FOR TODAY IS HIGH. WEDNESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT)BY WEDNESDAY THE UPPER HIGH WILL HAVE SHIFTED NORTHEAST OF THE FORECAST AREA...VICINITY OF THE MID-ATLANTIC STATES WITH A LARGE SPRAWLING SURFACE HIGH OVER THE SAME GENERAL AREA. THIS WILL PUT THE FORECAST AREA IN A EAST TO SOUTHEAST FLOW AND ENOUGH DEEPER MOISTURE TO CONTINUE THE TREND OF THE PAST FEW DAYS OF SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS FROM LATE MORNING TO LATE AFTERNOON. THE SURFACE TROUGH OF EARLY IN THE WEEK THAT HELPED TO GENERATE A FEW STRONGER STORMS WILL NO LONGER BE A FACTOR AND SHOULD BE MORE TYPICAL SUMMER PULSE TYPE STORMS. WILL CONTINUE THE TREND OF GOING ABOVE GUIDANCE FOR HIGHS WITH THE HOTTEST TEMPERATURES EXPECTED TO BE ACROSS THE NORTHEAST ZONES CLOSER TO THE HIGH AND THE DRIER AIR. BY THURSDAY EXPECT THE BETTER CHANCE FOR CONVECTION TO BE ALONG THE SEA BREEZE AND OVER INTERIOR SOUTHEAST MISSISSIPPI. /11 .LONG TERM...(FRIDAY THROUGH MONDAY)AN UPPER(H3) TROUGH EASES NORTHEAST OVER THE GULF BY FRIDAY WITH THE FORECAST AREA GENERALLY ON THE DRIER WEST SIDE OF THE CIRCULATION. WILL NOT MENTION POPS ON FRIDAY OR SATURDAY BUT WOULD NOT BE SURPRISED TO SEE A VERY ISOLATED AFTERNOON STORM...ON FRIDAY DO THINK WE WILL BEGIN TO SEE SOME EARLY MORNING SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS JUST OFFSHORE. SUNDAY AND MONDAY SHOULD BE MORE OF A TYPICAL SUMMER PATTERN...BUT STILL A LITTLE LOWER ON THE POPS AS SURFACE RIDGE TO THE WEST OVER TEXAS WILL TEND TO KEEP THE HIGHER MOISTURE AIR OVER THE GULF AND NORTH OF THE FORECAST AREA AS WEAK DISTURBANCES SLIDE DOWN THE FRONT SIDE OF THE RIDGE AND ACROSS THE OHIO VALLEY. TEMPERATURES WILL REMAIN A LITTLE ABOVE NORMAL FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR FOR AFTERNOON HIGHS. /11 .MARINE...A WEAK AREA OF LOW PRESSURE NEAR THE ALABAMA AND NORTHWEST COAST WILL DRIFT WEST AND CONTINUE TO WEAKEN THROUGH WEDNESDAY. SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL BECOME BETTER ORGANIZED LATER TODAY AND CONTINUE THROUGH WEDNESDAY AS THE AREA OF LOW PRESSURE SHIFTS WEST OF THE MARINE AREA. A BETTER CHANCE FOR WATERSPOUTS CAN ALSO BE EXPECTED WITH THIS PATTERN THROUGH WEDNESDAY. OTHERWISE...A LIGHT TO MODERATE SOUTHERLY WIND FLOW...MOSTLY DURING THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING HOURS...WILL CONTINUE OVER THE MARINE AREA THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE WEEK. LITTLE CHANGE IN SEAS...GENERALLY AROUND 2 FEET IS EXPECTED THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE WEEK. WINDS AND SEAS WILL BE HIGHER NEAR SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS MOSTLY DURING THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING HOURS. 32/EE .AVIATION...(12Z ISSUANCE)...VFR CONDITIONS THROUGH 12Z WED EXCEPT NEAR THUNDERSTORMS MOSTLY DURING THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING HOURS. CEILINGS AROUND 2.5 TO 3.0 FT CAN BE EXPECTED IN AND AROUND THUNDERSTORMS. SOME THUNDERSTORMS COULD PRODUCE GUSTY WINDS RANGING FROM 35 TO 55 KNOTS MOSTLY DURING THE AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING HOURS. WINDS WILL BE MOSTLY LIGHT AND VARIABLE EARLY TODAY BECOMING SOUTH AT 10 TO 15 KNOTS IN THE AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING HOURS...BECOMING LIGHT AND VARIABLE AGAIN OVERNIGHT. 32/EE .FIRE WEATHER...SPOTTY AFTERNOON SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE TODAY AND TOMORROW. LOW HUMIDITY WILL NOT BE A PROBLEM OVER THE WEST FLORIDA PANHANDLE OR SOUTHEAST MISSISSIPPI BUT MAY SEE SOME 30 TO 35 PERCENT READINGS OVER NORTHEAST ZONES NEXT FEW AFTERNOONS. && .MOB WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
