DISCUSSION...UPDATED FOR LATEST AVIATION DISCUSSION BELOW.

AVIATION...
12Z ISSUANCE...MVFR/IFR CONDITIONS WILL CONTINUE THROUGH MUCH OF
TODAY WITH GUSTY SOUTHEAST WINDS. WIDESPREAD SHOWERS AND A FEW
THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE AT TIMES THROUGH TONIGHT. THE HEAVIEST
RAIN MOVES EAST OF THE AREA LATE TONIGHT. HOWEVER...LOW CLOUDS WILL
CONTINUE WITH PATCHY FOG DEVELOPING. /13

PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 542 AM CDT MON OCT 26 2015/

NEAR TERM /NOW THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT/...MORNING WATER VAPOR IMAGERY
CLEARLY SHOWS AN UPPER LOW SPINNING ACROSS SOUTHERN LOUISIANA
NEARLY VERTICALLY STACKED WITH THE ASSOCIATED SFC LOW. AHEAD OF THE
LOW...SEVERAL BANDS OF MODERATE TO HEAVY RAIN WILL CONTINUE TO ROTATE
NORTHWARD ACROSS THE CENTRAL GULF COAST. WHILE INSTABILITY IS VERY
WEAK...WIND SHEAR VALUES ARE RATHER HIGH WITH 0-1KM SRH OF 200-400
ACROSS MUCH OF THE AREA. RADAR HAS INDICATED SOME WEAK ROTATION IN
SOME OF THE SHOWERS MOVING INLAND FROM THE GULF THIS MORNING. THESE
WILL HAVE TO BE CLOSELY MONITORED THROUGH THE MORNING HOURS BUT AT
THIS TIME THE SEVERE THREAT IS RATHER LOW. SOME WIND GUSTS OF 35 TO
45 MPH (BRIEFLY EVEN A LITTLE HIGHER) ARE POSSIBLE IN THE HEAVIER
SHOWERS AS THEY MIX STRONGER WINDS ALOFT DOWN TO THE SURFACE.
CONDITIONS WILL BE BREEZY OUTSIDE OF ANY SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS
WITH EAST TO SOUTHEAST WINDS OF 15 TO 25 MPH. A WIND ADVISORY IS IN
EFFECT FOR THE ENTIRE AREA THROUGH 7 PM THIS EVENING.

MORE INSTABILITY IS EXPECTED TO DEVELOP LATER THIS MORNING INTO THE
AFTERNOON HOURS AS THE SFC LOW LIFTS NORTHEAST AND PULLS THE MARINE
WARM FRONT INLAND. THIS WILL MAKE THE ENVIRONMENT MORE FAVORABLE
FOR AN ISOLATED BRIEF TORNADO AND/OR DAMAGING WIND GUST. HEAVY RAIN
REMAINS THE PRIMARY THREAT THROUGH TONIGHT AND SOME AREAS IN
SOUTHEAST MISSISSIPPI HAVE RECEIVED 2 TO 3 INCHES OF RAIN ALREADY.
STORM TOTAL RAINFALL AMOUNTS OF 3 TO 6 INCHES REMAIN POSSIBLE IN THE
FLASH FLOOD WATCH AREA THROUGH TONIGHT. LOCALIZED FLOODING OF
ROADWAYS...LOW LYING AND POOR DRAINAGE AREAS WILL BE POSSIBLE IN
AREAS WHERE HEAVIER RAIN TRAINS ACROSS THE SAME AREAS FOR AN EXTENDED
PERIOD OF TIME.

STRONG EAST TO SOUTHEAST WINDS WILL CONTINUE TO BRING HIGH
SURF...DANGEROUS RIP CURRENTS AND MINOR COASTAL FLOODING TO THE
COASTAL AREAS OF ALABAMA AND NORTHWEST FLORIDA THROUGH EARLY
TUESDAY. /13

SHORT TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT/...THE LARGE SFC LOW
PRESSURE AREA WILL BEGIN TO WEAKEN AND LIFT NORTH ACROSS MISSISSIPPI
ON TUESDAY AND ON TOWARD THE GREAT LAKES AREA THROUGH WEDNESDAY
NIGHT. AS THIS OCCURS...THE AXIS OF RAINFALL WILL BE SHIFTING EAST
OF THE FCST AREA WITH RAINFALL BECOMING LESS INTENSE/HEAVY.
LINGERING RAIN CHANCES TUESDAY AND TUESDAY NIGHT...BUT RAIN CHANCES
ENDING DURING THE DAY ON WEDNESDAY AS THE GREAT LAKES LOW DRAGS A
COLD FRONT EAST ACROSS THE AREA. STRONG SOUTHERLY WINDS WILL WEAKEN
CONSIDERABLE TUESDAY...BECOMING MORE WESTERLY BY WEDNESDAY. HIGHS
TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY IN THE 70S. LOWS TUESDAY NIGHT IN THE 60S AND
COOLING TO THE MID 50S AND LOWER 60S WEDNESDAY NIGHT IN THE WAKE OF
THE FRONT. 12/DS

LONG TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...HIGH PRESSURE WILL MOVE EAST
ACROSS THE REGION THURSDAY THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT WITH NO RAIN EXPECTED.
BY SATURDAY INTO SUNDAY...ANOTHER AREA OF LOW PRESSURE IS LIKELY TO
DEVELOP TO THE WEST OF THE FCST AREA AND LIFT NORTH...BRINING ANOTHER
COLD FRONT TOWARD THE REGION. WITH THIS...RAIN CHANCES WILL AGAIN
INCREASE OVER THE WEEKEND. DAYTIME HIGHS CONTINUE TO BE IN THE 70S.
OVERNIGHT LOWS IN THE 50S FOR INTERIOR AREAS AND LOWER 60S CLOSER TO
THE COAST. 12/DS

MARINE...A STRONG SOUTHEASTERLY WIND FLOW WILL CONTINUE THROUGH
THIS EVENING AS A STRONG AREA OF SURFACE LOW PRESSURE MOVES FROM THE
NORTHWESTERN GULF TO SOUTHERN PORTIONS OF LOUISIANA. WIDESPREAD RAIN
SHOWERS ALONG WITH A FEW THUNDERSTORMS CAN BE EXPECTED AHEAD OF THIS
SYSTEM THROUGH TONIGHT. FREQUENT GUSTS TO GALE FORCE WILL BE LIKELY
ACROSS SOUTHERN PORTIONS OF MOBILE BAY AND THE OFFSHORE WATERS
THROUGH EARLY THIS EVENING. SEAS WILL CONTINUE TO BUILD TO 7 TO 12
FEET. TIDES ABOVE NORMAL (UP TO 2 TO 3 FEET ABOVE PREDICATED TODAY)
CAN BE EXPECTED THROUGH MIDWEEK. /13
