NWS Mobile, AL wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Jun 29, 11:50 AM CST, 40 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MOBILE AL 1250 PM CDT SAT JUN 29 2013 .AVIATION...[29.18 KMOB/KBFM/KPNS TAF ISSUANCE]...VFR CONDITIONS WILL MAINLY PREVAIL OVER THE LOCAL TERMINALS DURING THE NEXT 24 HOURS. SCATTERED SHRA/TSRA WILL REDEVELOP NEAR THE LOCAL TERMINALS NEAR 29.23Z...AND SHOULD DISSIPATE BY LATE EVENING. BRIEF REDUCTIONS IN CIG/VIS TO MVFR TO LOCALLY IFR LEVELS WILL BE POSSIBLE WITH AND NEAR TSRA. ADDED A PROB30 GROUP AFTER 30.09Z FOR KMOB AND KBFM...AND AFTER 30.11Z FOR KPNS DUE TO AN APPROACHING WEAK FRONTAL BOUNDARY FROM THE NORTHWEST. AGAIN EXPECT BRIEF REDUCTIONS IN CIG/VIS TO MVFR TO LOCALLY IFR LEVELS WILL BE POSSIBLE WITH AND NEAR TSRA. /22 THE LATE AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING WET MICROBURST RISK HAS BEEN DOWNGRADED TO MODERATE ALONG THE GULF COAST DUE TO LOWER SURFACE HEATING CAUSED BY PERSISTENT CLOUD COVER. && .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 540 AM CDT SAT JUN 29 2013/ SHORT TERM...(TODAY THROUGH MONDAY)...CURRENTLY OVER THE CONUS AND SURROUNDING AREAS...AN UPPER RIDGE WAS ANALYZED OVER THE WESTERN CONUS...CENTERED OVER THE GREAT BASIN. AN UPPER TROUGH WAS ANALYZED OVER THE EASTERN CONUS...WITH A CLOSED LOW NORTHWEST OF NEW ENGLAND. A WEAKLY ORGANIZED SURFACE LOW WAS LOCATED OVER THE MID-ATLANTIC REGION...WITH A SURFACE FRONT STRETCHING FROM NEW ENGLAND TO THE CAROLINAS TO THE CENTRAL PLAINS. TODAY THROUGH TONIGHT...THE UPPER LOW NEAR NEW ENGLAND OPENS AND MOVES OFF AS MORE ENERGY DIVINES SOUTH INTO THE TROUGH. THIS PUSHES THE SURFACE FRONT SOUTH TOWARDS THE NORTHERN GULF COAST. BY SUNDAY MORNING...GUIDANCE IS IN PRETTY GOOD AGREEMENT IN THE FRONT REACHING ACROSS SOUTHEASTERN SECTIONS OF THE MARINE FA...WITH NORTHWESTERN SECTIONS OF THE FA SEEING SOME SIGNIFICANTLY DRYER AIR MOVING IN. WITH THE FRONT MOVING OVER LAND AREA OF THE FA TODAY...AM EXPECTING THE BEST CHANCE FOR RAIN TO BE ALONG AND SOUTH OF THE FA...IN THIS CASE THE SOUTHERN HALF OF THE LAND FA TO OVER OPEN GULF WATERS. WITH THE CURRENT ACTIVITY MOVING OVER OPEN GULF WATERS AND POINTS SOUTH...AM ANTICIPATING ENOUGH HEATING TO GET IN FOR THE AIRMASS TO DESTABILIZE AND WITH CAPES EXPECTED TO BE IN THE 2000-3000J/KG RANGE...MORE THAN ENOUGH FOR STRONG TO SEVERE TSRA. WIND SHEAR IS GOING TO BE ON THE WEAK SIDE...SO ORGANIZED SEVERE ACTIVITY ISN'T EXPECTED. JUST OUR USUAL SUMMER-TIME THUNDERSTORMS. LOOKING AT AREA SOUNDINGS...ENOUGH DRY AIR IS PRESENT ABOVE 10K' FOR DAMAGING DOWN-BURST WINDS. SUNDAY THROUGH MONDAY...THE SHORTWAVE ENERGY DIVING INTO THE EASTERN TROUGH EVENTUALLY ORGANIZES INTO A CLOSED LOW OVER THE MID MISS RIVER VALLEY. TH SOUTHWARD MOVEMENT OF THE ENERGY IS SMALL...SO THE SURFACE BOUNDARY OVER THE FA MOVES RELATIVELY LITTLE. THE RESULT IS A CONTINUED PRECIP GRADIENT ACROSS THE FA...WITH NORTHWESTERN SECTIONS OF THE FA SEEING LITTLE RAIN AND HIGH POPS SOUTHEAST. LONG TERM...(MONDAY NIGHT ON)...MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY...THE MID MISS RIVER VALLEY UPPER LOW RETROGRADES NORTHWEST A BIT...ALLOWING A SURFACE RIDGE OFF THE ATLANTIC SEABOARD TO BUILD WEST TO THE APPALACHIANS. THIS IS ENOUGH TO RESTORE GENERAL SOUTHEAST TO SOUTHERLY FLOW TO MOST OF THE FA AND INCREASE THE CHANCE OF RAIN. THE ECMWF IS SIGNIFICANTLY GREATER THAN THE GFS. WITH EITHER BEING POSSIBLE...HAVE WENT BETWEEN EITHER SOLUTION FOR POPS FOR THIS PART OF THE FORECAST. THE ECMWF IS A BIT COOLER THAN THE GFS...BUT WITH THE GFS ENSEMBLES ADVERTISING A SOLUTION WARMER THAN THE OP GFS...HAVE STUCK WITH THE IN THE MIDDLE OP GFS. TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY...THE UPPER LOW SHIFTS NORTH AS AN UPPER RIDGE OFF THE EAST COAST BUILDS...ALLOWING THE SURFACE RIDGE TO BUILD WEST SOME MORE OVER THE EASTERN CONUS. THE RESULT IS THE ONSHORE FLOW OVER THE FA CONTINUING. POPS BETWEEN THE GFS AND ECMWF HAVE COME MORE INLINE...THOUGH THE ECMWF STILL REMAINS THE COOLER SOLUTION. HAVEN'T DEVIATED SIGNIFICANTLY FROM THE GUIDANCE WITH RESPECT TO POPS. HAVE BUMPED THE TEMPS DOWN A BIT FROM THE OP GFS...WITH THE GFS ENSEMBLES LEANING TOWARDS THE ECMWF SOLUTION. WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY...THE CLOSED LOW OPENS AND SQUIRTS NORTH AS THE ENERGY IN THE BASE OF THE UPPER TROUGH LEFT IN ITS PLACE SWINGS WEST(WITH THE UPPER RIDGE BUILDING EVEN MORE). GUIDANCE IS IN PRETTY GOOD AGREEMENT AT THIS POINT...SO HAVEN'T DEVIATED OTHER THAN TO CLEAN UP. THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY...TH TAIL END OF THE UPPER TROUGH THAT HAS SHIFTED WEST OVER THE SOUTHERN PLAINS HAS BECOME LESS OF AN INFLUENCE ON THE FA(THOUGH THE ECMWF IS ADVERTISING IT ORGANIZING INTO A CLOSED UPPER LOW) AS THE UPPER RIDGE OFF THE EAST COAST BUILDS WEST OVER THE EASTERN SEABOARD AND EASTERN CONUS. THE SURFACE RIDGE OVER THE EASTERN CONUS BUILDS WEST EVEN MORE...WITH THE RESULT BEING A GENERAL SOUTHEASTERLY FLOW OVER THE SOUTHERN PLAINS/LOWER MISS RIVER VALLEY/SOUTHEASTERN CONUS. GUIDANCE STILL IN PRETTY GOOD AGREEMENT...SO HAVEN'T DEVIATED. MARINE...A SURFACE TROUGH OF LOW PRESSURE WILL EXTEND FROM THE APPALACHIAN MOUNTAINS TO THE TEXAS AND LOUISIANA COAST TODAY... WHILE HIGH PRESSURE CONTINUES TO SINK SOUTHWARD INTO THE SOUTHERN GULF OF MEXICO. THE PRESSURE GRADIENT BETWEEN THESE TWO FEATURES WILL RESULT IN A MODERATE TO OCCASIONALLY STRONG SOUTHWEST FLOW OVER THE MARINE AREA TODAY AND TONIGHT. SPEEDS SHOULD REMAIN JUST SHY OF SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY CRITERIA...SO WILL HEADLINE SMALL CRAFT EXERCISE CAUTION AND CONTINUE TO MONITOR. SURFACE LOW PRESSURE WILL PUSH SOUTHWARD INTO THE VICINITY OF THE NORTHERN GULF COAST REGION SUNDAY...AND WILL REMAIN IN THIS GENERAL LOCATION THROUGH EARLY NEXT WEEK. LIGHT TO MODERATE SOUTHWEST FLOW SUNDAY SHOULD BECOME LIGHTER AND MORE VARIABLE IN DIRECTION FOR MONDAY AND TUESDAY. LIGHT TO MODERATE SOUTHERLY FLOW SHOULD RETURN BY MID TO LATE IN THE WEEK AS A RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE DEVELOPS ACROSS THE EASTERN SEABOARD. ISOLATED TO SCATTERED SHOWERS AND STORMS WILL DEVELOP OVER THE MARINE AREA EACH DAY. WINDS AND SEAS WILL BE LOCALLY HIGHER NEAR ANY THUNDERSTORM THAT DEVELOPS. FIRE WEATHER...A WEAK BOUNDARY WILL MOVE SOUTH OVER THE AREA TODAY INTO TONIGHT BEFORE STALLING. THE RESULT IS NORTHERLY WINDS IN THE MIXING LAYER OVER NORTHWESTERN SECTIONS OF THE FAQ...SOUTHERN. SOME DRYING OUT OVER NORTHWESTERN SECTIONS IS LIKELY SUNDAY AND MONDAY....BUT BY WEDNESDAY...SOUTH TO SOUTHEASTERLY FLOW IN THE MIXING LAYER RETURNS TO THE ENTIRE FA. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
