AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MOBILE AL 421 PM CDT SAT JUN 8 2013 .SHORT TERM [TONIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT]...08.12Z UPPER AIR ANALYSIS SHOWS A LONGWAVE TROF AXIS POSITIONED FROM THE PLAINS... SOUTHWARD INTO TEXAS WITH A SERIES OF MID LEVEL VORTICITY MAXIMA ROTATING AROUND THE BASE OF THE TROF. EASTERN MOST IMPULSE ROTATES NORTHEAST OUT OF LOUISIANA AND IS HELPING TO INITIATE STORMS ALONG A WEAK SURFACE TROF DRAPED OVER SOUTHERN MISSISSIPPI/SOUTHERN ALABAMA WITHIN A MOIST AND UNSTABLE ENVIRONMENT. WILL SEE LOUISIANA MID LEVEL IMPULSE ROTATING TROUGH TONIGHT...MAINTAINING ISOLATED TO SCATTERED STORMS. A FEW STORMS THROUGH THE AFTERNOON HAVE BEEN STRONG TO BRIEFLY SEVERE. STRONG TO BRIEF SEVERE STORMS POSSIBLY LINGERING INTO THE EVENING. WITH GULF MOISTURE REMAINING OPEN...POSITION OF LONGWAVE TROF AXIS WEST OF THE AREA AND DAYTIME INSTABILITY ON SUNDAY...STORMS LOOK LIKELY. A FEW OF THESE STRONG TO BRIEFLY SEVERE. LATE NIGHT PATCHY FOG POSSIBLE WITH VISIBILITIES REDUCED TO A MILE OR LESS AT TIMES. AT THE SURFACE...FORECAST AREA WILL BE ON THE WESTERN PERIPHERY OF SOUTHWEST ATLANTIC SURFACE HIGH. THUS...LITTLE CHANGE IN LOW TEMPERATURES WITH NUMBERS IN THE UPPER 60S INTERIOR TO MID 70S AT THE COAST. HIGHS ON SUNDAY 84 TO 87 ON AVERAGE. /10 WITH THE FORECAST AREA ON THE EAST SIDE OF LONGWAVE UPPER LEVEL TROF AXIS THAT PIVOTS EASTWARD ACROSS THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER VALLEY...A CONSISTENT SIGNAL OF LAYER LIFT AMIDST DEEP LAYER MOISTURE IN THE GLOBAL GUIDANCE FAVORS A CONTINUED CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND STORMS SUNDAY NIGHT. SOUTHERLY FLOW OVER THE CENTRAL GULF...ON THE WESTERN PERIPHERY OF SYNOPTIC SCALE SURFACE HIGH OVER THE WESTERN ATLANTIC...FAVORS LITTLE CHANGE IN LOW TEMPERATURES WITH NUMBERS AROUND 70 OVER THE INTERIOR AND MID 70S SOUTHWARD AT THE COAST. .LONG TERM [MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY]...UPPER LEVEL FORCING FROM THE PASSAGE OF LONGWAVE TROF ON MONDAY LOOKS TO KEEP THE ENVIRONMENT UNSETTLED WITH SHOWERS/STORMS LIKELY DURING THE DAY. THE TROF AXIS ADVANCES EASTWARD ON TUESDAY INTO THE EASTERN STATES...MOVING INTO THE WESTERN ATLANTIC BY TUESDAY NIGHT WITH RIDGING OVER THE PLAINS BUILDING EASTWARD INTO THE REGION BY WEDNESDAY. A WEAKENING FRONTAL BOUNDARY SETTLES SOUTHWARD INTO CENTRAL MISSISSIPPI/ALABAMA ON TUESDAY...MOVING SLOWLY INTO THE FORECAST AREA ON WEDNESDAY BEFORE DISSIPATING. WILL MAINTAIN A SMALL CHANCE OF SUMMER TIME CONVECTION THROUGH THE MIDDLE OF THE WEEK. MID WEEK STORM COVERAGES COULD LOWER IF SUBSIDENCE FROM THE BUILDING UPPER RIDGE TO THE WEST PROVES STRONG ENOUGH. THE 08.12Z RUNS OF THE GFS/ECMWF SHOW AN AMPLIFIED PATTERN THE LATTER HALF OF THE WEEK WITH RIDGE OVER OKLAHOMA/TEXAS AND LOWER HEIGHTS =>TROFFING FROM THE APPALACHIANS DOWN INTO THE SOUTHEAST. THE UPPER FLOW SUPPORTS BRINGING A WEAK SURFACE FRONT/TROF SOUTHWARD THROUGH THE SOUTHEAST LATE THURSDAY INTO FRIDAY. THE EASTWARD EXTENSION OF UPPER RIDGE INTO THE AREA SHOULD BE WEAKENED ENOUGH TO SUPPORT A CONTINUED CHANCE OF STORMS. A WARMING TREND FOLLOWS THROUGH THE PERIOD WITH TEMPERATURES WEDNESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY SEVERAL DEGREES ABOVE SEASONABLE VALUES. OVERNIGHT LOWS STARTING OFF NEAR 70 INTERIOR... MID 70S COAST MONDAY MORNING...WILL TREND SLIGHTLY WARMER WITH EACH SUCCESSIVE NIGHT NEXT WEEK. HIGHS LIFTING TO WELL INTO THE 90S MOST AREAS THROUGH THE WEEK.

SOUTHEASTERLY TO SOUTHERLY FLOW WILL INCREASE TO EXERCISE CAUTION LEVELS THIS EVENING THROUGH SUNDAY. SEAS ARE ALSO EXPECTED TO BUILD TO 5 TO 7 FEET OUT TO 60 NM. IF WINDS AND SEAS BUILD A LITTLE STRONGER...A SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY MAY BECOME NECESSARY. FOR NOW WE CONTINUED TO HOLD OFF ON AN ADVISORY...BUT WILL MENTION EXERCISE CAUTION FOR MOST OF THE MARINE AREA. HIGH PRESSURE IS EXPECTED TO BUILD OVER THE NORTHERN GULF THROUGH MUCH OF NEXT WEEK.
