AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MOBILE AL
354 PM CDT TUE JUL 21 2015
.NEAR TERM...(TONIGHT AND TOMORROW)...THE UPPER RIDGE STRETCHING WEST
OVER THE GULF OF MEXICO TO THE SOUTHERN PLAINS IS EXPECTED TO REMAIN
IN CONTROL THROUGH WEDNESDAY. WITH IT'S ACCOMPANYING SURFACE RIDGE
STRETCHING WEST OVER THE GULF OF MEX BRINGING A GENERAL WESTERLY
FLOW...THE VERY HUMID AIRMASS (PRECIP H20 VALUES 1.8-2.0") OVER THE
AREA IS EXPECTED HANG TOUGH OVER THE AREA. EVEN WITH THE UPPER RIDGE
SEEING A BIT OF A SOUTHWARD SHIFT FROM PREVIOUS DAY...GUIDANCE IS
PRETTY CONSISTENT IN THIS RIDGE KEEPING TEMPS WELL ABOVE SEASONAL
(MID TO UPPER 70S TONIGHT...HIGHER ALONG THE IMMEDIATE COAST) AND MID
TO UPPER 90S FOR HIGHS FOR WEDNESDAY OVER MOST OF THE AREA. COMBINED
WITH THE HIGH HUMIDITY LEVELS...AM EXPECTING DAYTIME HEAT INDEX
VALUES TO AGAIN RISE TO AROUND ADVISORY CRITERIA(108). FOR
POPS...HIGH HEAT AND HUMIDITY LEVELS COMBINE TO CREATE A VERY
UNSTABLE DAYTIME AIRMASS WEDNESDAY (WITH CAPES TOPPING OUT IN THE
3500-4500K/KG RANGE). AM EXPECTING THE USUAL SUMMER SCENARIO...THE
DAY STARTS OUT WITH CONVECTIVE ACTIVITY OFFSHORE DUE TO A LAND BREEZE
COMPONENT TO THE LOW LEVEL FLOW CREATING A CONVERGENCE ZONE SOUTH OF
THE COAST. AS THE DAY PROGRESSES AND THE LAND HEATS...A GULF BREEZE
ORGANIZES ALONG THE COAST AND MOVES INLAND....SPAWNING SOME
SHRA/TSRA. ALSO...WITH THE HIGH MOISTURE LEVELS INLAND...AM EXPECTING
DEVELOPMENT INLAND TO OCCUR. HAVE WENT WITH A BROAD BRUSH AROUND
SEASONAL CHANCE OF POPS FOR THE FA FOR WEDNESDAY. WITH THE
AFOREMENTIONED HIGH INSTABILITY VALUES...BUT WEAK WIND SHEAR...A FEW
STORMS MAY GET ROWDY OR SEVERE. WITH THE CURRENT ACTIVITY...AM
EXPECTING THE USUAL PATTERN TO HAPPEN. AS THE AFTERNOON MOVES INTO
EVENING...THE LESSENING OF DAYTIME HEATING ALONG WITH RAIN-COOLED
AIRMASS (WELL...RELATIVELY)...THE CURRENT ACTIVITY WILL WEAKEN AND
DIE OUT DURING THE EVENING HOURS. /16
.SHORT TERM...(WEDNESDAY EVENING THROUGH SATURDAY)...MID- AND UPPER
FLOW GOES FROM WESTERLY ON THURSDAY TO NORTHWESTERLY BY SATURDAY
AFTERNOON. ONE FEATURE THAT REMAINS PERMANENT IS THE LOWER
TROPOSHERE'S WWD EXTENSION OF THE WRN ATLANTIC HIGH PRESSURE CELL
WHICH ACTS TO CONTINUE TO PUMP VERY HIGH MOISTURE VALUES NORTHWARD
(PWATS RISE INTO THE 2.00-2.5" RANGE WITH SOME LOCALLY HIGHER VALUES
EMBEDDED FROM TIME TO TIME). MOISTURE FLUX CONVERGENCE WILL NO DOUBT BE
ENHANCED ALONG THE COAST (ESPECIALLY WITH MESOSCALE FORCING FROM
BAY-AND SEA-BREEZE). WITH FLOW BECOMING MORE NW ALOFT WITH TIME
...MID-LEVEL LAPSE RATES SLIGHTLY WILL TEND TO DECREASE WITH SOME
FAVORABLE DIFFERENTIAL DIVERGENCE FOR WEAK LARGE SCALE UPWARD FORCING
BECOMING SITUATED OVER REGION LATE THU NIGHT THROUGH LATE FRIDAY. FORECASTING
BEST RAIN CHANCES DURING THIS TIME. ON FRIDAY NIGHT...THE FORCING AND
DEEPER MOISTURE DEVELOPS OFF TO THE SOUTH AS THE CIRCULATIONS AROUND
A DEVELOPING E COAST TROUGH AND STRENGTHENING SRN PLAINS RIDGE
COMBINE TO ADVECT IT AWAY FROM REGION (TEMPORARILY). SO EXPECT SEA-
BREEZE TSTM DEVELOPMENT BEGINNING THU AFTERNOON TRANSITIONING TO
BEING MORE FORCED BY THE LARGE SCALE THU NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY WITH A
BREAK IN COVERAGE ON SATURDAY. OTHERWISE...CONTINUED HOT AND MUGGY
WITH HIGHS 92-97 AND OVERNIGHT LOWS 74-82 DEG(F).
.LONG TERM...(SATURDAY EVENING THROUGH NEXT TUESDAY)...PERIOD BEGINS
WITH AFOREMENTIONED UPPER MEAN TROUGH AXIS THAT EXTENDS FROM NEW
ENGLAND TO MID-ATLANTIC SEABOARD. CLOSED DEEP HIGH PRESSURE CELL
PERSISTS OVER SOUTHERN PLAINS. THE LATTER POSITIONS ARE SUPPORTED
WELL BY LAST FRAME OF 21.15 UTC SREF MEAN AS WELL AS INDIVIDUAL 21.12
UTC GEFS ENSEMBLE MEMBERS. AS TROUGH LIFTS OUT...INTERESTING
EVOLUTION SHOWN BY 21.12 UTC GFS. MID- AND UPPER POTENTIAL VORTICITY
MAXIMUM SPLITS AWAY FROM BASE OF E COAST TROF AND MOVES SWWD FROM SC
INTO NRN FL. THIS FEATURE CONTINUES MOVG SWWD AS IT'S VORTICITY SPINS
DOWNWARD AND A CLOSED LOW FORMS PRESUMABLY BEING AIDED BY LATENT
HEAT RELEASE FROM ENHANCED TSTM ACTIVITY AS IT MOVES FROM THE NRN FL
PENIN ON SUNDAY SWWD TO THE NE GLFMEX ON MONDAY TO EVENTUALLY THE
CENTRAL GULF BY MIDDAY TUESDAY. THIS INITIALLY LOOKS FAIRLY
BAROCLINIC AND WITH DEEP LAYER VERTICAL WIND SHEAR. BOTH 21.12 UTC
ECMWF\GFS HAVE AN ASSOCIATED WEAK SFC LOW REFLECTION OVR SW AL
SATURDAY EVENING AND DRIFT IT SLOWLY TO THE SW WITH TIME AS IT GETS
CAUGHT UNDER NOSE OF SRN PLAINS HIGH BY LATE WEEKEND. OUR REGION IS
ON DRIER SIDE OF THESE FEATURES UNTIL LATE MONDAY. THEREAFTER...THE
UPPER LOW BRINGS DECREASED STATIC STABILITY AND ITS ASSOC DEEP-LYR
MOISTURE POOL COMBINED WITH DEEP-LYR MOSITURE MOVING AROUND THE
PERIPHERY OF THE RIDGE SHOULD INCREASE RAIN CHANCES ONCE AGAIN FOR
TUESDAY. IT WAS NOTED THAT GEFS ENSEMBLE SHOWS FORECAST CONFIDENCE
LOWERS FROM MONDAY INTO TUESDAY SO DID NOT STRAY TOO FAR FROM
GUIDANCE. IN GENERAL HIGHS 90-95 AND OVERNIGHT LOWS IN THE MID AND
UPPER 70S. /23 JMM
&&
.MARINE...A SURFACE RIDGE STRETCHING WEST OVER THE GULF OF MEX WILL
CONTINUE TO CREATE A GENERAL WESTERLY FLOW. A LAND BREEZE IS EXPECTED
TO SET UP OVERNIGHT...WITH AN INCREASE IN THE WESTERLY FLOW TO
MODERATE ALONG THE COAST...THEN WITH THE DAYTIME HEATING...THE
WESTERLIES ARE EXPECTED TO LIGHTEN. ALSO...WITH THE LAND-BREEZE
SETTING UP...OVERNIGHT DEVELOPMENT OF SHRA/TSRA ALONG THE COAST IS
EXPECTED...WITH WATERSPOUTS POSSIBLE NORTH OF THE OFFSHORE
CONVERGENCE ZONE. /16
