NWS Mobile, AL wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Jun 22, 2:41 PM CST, 2 hours 4 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MOBILE AL 341 PM CDT MON JUN 22 2015 .SHORT TERM...(TONIGHT AND TUESDAY)...UPPER RIDGING WILL BUILD EASTWARD OUT OF THE SOUTHERN PLAINS INTO THE AREA THROUGH TUESDAY. THIS WILL MAINTAIN THE HOT AND MOSTLY DRY CONDITIONS ACROSS THE AREA. HIGHS WILL AGAIN BE IN THE MID/UPPER 90S. COASTAL LOCATIONS WILL BE IN THE LOW/MID 90S. THE COMBINATION OF THE HEAT AND HIGH HUMIDITY WILL CREATE HEAT INDEX VALUES OF 103-107 ACROSS THE AREA DURING THE AFTERNOON. ENOUGH MIXING IS EXPECTED DURING THE AFTERNOON TO KEEP HEAT INDEX VALUES JUST BELOW ADVISORY CRITERIA...BUT THAT WILL BE SOMETHING TO WATCH FOR TUESDAY. ISOLATED TO SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL DEVELOP DURING THE AFTERNOON HOURS AND GRADUALLY DISSIPATE DURING THE EVENING. FREQUENT LIGHTNING...GUSTY WINDS AND VERY HEAVY RAIN ARE THE PRIMARY THREATS. /13 THIS AFTERNOON'S WET MICROBURST RISK IS MODERATE (TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT)...THE FORECAST AREA LIES UNDER THE EASTERN EDGE OF THE RIDGE TO THE WEST. DEEP LAYER MOISTURE WILL CONTINUE TO BLANKET THE AREA WITH PWATS CLIMBING TO AS HIGH AS 2.O INCHES DURING THE AFTERNOON. TEMPERATURES WILL CONTINUE TO TREND WARMER THEN CLIMATOLOGICAL NORMS. DAY TIME HIGH TEMPERATURES WILL CLIMB PRIMARILY INTO THE LOW TO UPPER 90S. EXPECT A SEA BREEZE TO DEVELOP ALONG THE COAST WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON TRIGGERING ISOLATED TO SCATTERED CONVECTION WHICH WILL DISSIPATE BY EARLY EVENING. /08 JW .LONG TERM...(THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY)...A LITTLE RELIEF IN THE HOT DAYTIME TEMPERATURES SHOULD ARRIVE THURSDAY AS THE RIDGE STARTS TO BREAK DOWN AND A STEADY ONSHORE FLOW DEVELOPS. PWATS REMAIN IN THE 2 INCH RANGE AND FALLING HTS ALOFT SHOULD LEAD TO AN INCREASE IN AFTERNOON CONVECTION. A LONGWAVE TROUGH SLOWLY ESTABLISHES ITSELF OVER THE REGION BY THE WEEKEND AND THE TREND OF AFTERNOON CONVECTION DISSIPATING BY EARLY EVENING SHOULD CONTINUE UNTIL SATURDAY NIGHT WHEN A MAJOR UPPER LEVEL TROUGH IS PROJECTED TO DRIVE A COLD FRONT INTO THE AREA FROM THE WEST...TRIGGERING NOCTURNAL SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. THE WEAKENING FRONTAL BOUNDARY WILL THEN LIKELY STALL OVER THE NORTHERN GULF COAST COUPLING WITH THE SEA BREEZE DURING THE DAY TO AID CONVECTIVE DEVELOPMENT AND THEN MOVING WITH THE LAND BREEZE OVERNIGHT OFF THE COAST. DAYTIME HIGH TEMPERATURES WILL TREND A LITTLE ABOVE NORMAL THROUGH THE WORK WEEK AND THEN A LITTLE BELOW NORMAL OVER THE WEEKEND AND MONDAY. /08 JW && .AVIATION...18Z ISSUANCE...VFR CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL THROUGH THE NEXT 24 HOURS. ISOLATED TO SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL DEVELOP DURING THE AFTERNOON HOURS WITH LOCALIZED MVFR/IFR CONDITIONS POSSIBLE IN AND AROUND STORMS. /13 && .MARINE...A WEAK SURFACE RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE WILL REMAIN OVER THE NORTHERN GULF OF MEXICO THROUGHOUT THE WEEK. WINDS WILL PRIMARILY BE LIGHT AND FROM THE SOUTHWEST...OCCASIONALLY TURNING TO THE WEST TO NORTHWEST DURING THE OVERNIGHT HOURS. WINDS AND SEAS WILL BE HIGHER OVER THE NEAR SHORE WATERS DURING THE LATE AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING HOURS DUE TO AFTERNOON AND LOCAL SEABREEZE EFFECTS. /13 && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
