AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MOBILE AL 345 PM CDT SUN JUN 21 2015 .SHORT TERM (TONIGHT AND MONDAY)...UPPER RIDGING ACROSS THE AREA WILL CONTINUE TO WEAKEN SOME AND SHIFT EASTWARD THROUGH MONDAY AS A SHORTWAVE MOVES ACROSS THE UPPER MIDWEST. THIS IS EVIDENCED BY INCREASED SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY ON RADAR THIS AFTERNOON. AN ISOLATED SEVERE STORM IS POSSIBLE THROUGH THE AFTERNOON WITH DAMAGING WINDS THE PRIMARY THREAT IN ADDITIONS TO FREQUENT LIGHTNING AND VERY HEAVY RAIN. THE WET MICROBURST RISK REMAINS HIGH. THE STORMS WILL DISSIPATE THIS EVENING WITH THE LOSS OF HEATING. VERY MUGGY CONDITIONS CONTINUE OVERNIGHT WITH LOWS IN THE MID/UPPER 70S INLAND TO AROUND 80 ALONG THE COAST. THE AREA WILL BE BETWEEN A BUILDING UPPER RIDGE TO THE WEST AND THE WESTERN ATLANTIC RIDGE ON MONDAY. THIS COMBINED WITH PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES AROUND 2 INCHES AND HIGHS IN THE MID/UPPER 90S WILL LEAD TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF ISOLATED TO SCATTERED AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. SOME OF THE THUNDERSTORMS WILL AGAIN BE STRONG IN THE AFTERNOON HOURS WITH GUSTY WINDS...FREQUENT LIGHTNING AND LOCALLY HEAVY RAIN. /13 THIS AFTERNOON'S WET MICROBURST RISK IS HIGH MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT...THE FORECAST AREA WAFFLES FROM BEING PRIMARILY UNDER THE NEUTRAL POINT OR COL AREA BETWEEN A STRONG RIDGE TO THE EAST CENTERED OVER THE SOUTHWESTERN ATLANTIC AND ANOTHER OVER THE SOUTHWESTERN UNITED STATES MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH PERHAPS TUESDAY TO FALLING UNDER THE EASTERN EDGE OF THE RIDGE TO THE WEST. DEEP LAYER MOISTURE WILL CONTINUE TO BLANKET THE AREA WITH PWATS CLIMBING TO AROUND 2.O INCHES DURING THE AFTERNOON. TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED TO CONTINUE TO TREND A LITTLE WARMER THEN CLIMATOLOGICAL NORMS. DAY TIME HIGH TEMPERATURES WILL CLIMB INTO THE LOW TO MID 90S. EXPECT A SEA BREEZE TO DEVELOP ALONG THE COAST EACH AFTERNOON TRIGGERING ISOLATED TO SCATTERED CONVECTION INTO THE EARLY EVENING AS IT PUSHES NORTHWARD. ISOLATED CONVECTION IS ALSO POSSIBLE OVER THE MARINE AREA OVERNIGHT AS A LAND BREEZE AIDED BY THE WEAK NWLY FLOW ALOFT DEVELOPS LATE EACH NIGHT AND PUSHES SOUTHWARD ACROSS THE GULF WATERS. /08 JW .LONG TERM...[FRIDAY THROUGH SUNDAY]...PERHAPS A LITTLE RELIEF IN THE TEMPERATURES ARRIVES BY THE END OF THE WORK WEEK. SPECTRAL MODELS CONTINUE TO SHOW THE TWO HIGH PRESSURE RIDGES ON EITHER SIDE OF US GETTING DEPRESSED TO THE SOUTH AS A LONGWAVE TROUGH DEVELOPS OVERHEAD WITH OUR REGION ON THE SOUTHERN PERIPHERY. ONLY MINOR SHORTWAVE TROUGH ENERGY IS CURRENTLY PROJECTED TO IMPACT THE AREA THROUGH THE WEEKEND SO DON'T EXPECT ANY WIDESPREAD CONVECTIVE OUTBREAKS. MORE LIKELY WELL SEE A SLIGHT UP TICK IN THE AFTERNOON CONVECTION...AND AGAIN SLIGHTLY COOLER DAYTIME TEMPERATURES. /08 JW && .AVIATION...18Z ISSUANCE...VFR CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL THROUGH MOST OF THE PERIOD. A BRIEF PERIOD OF MVFR CONDITIONS IS POSSIBLE IN AND AROUND ISOLATED TO SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS DURING THE AFTERNOON. /13 && .MARINE....A BROAD RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE REMAINS POSITIONED OVER THE GULF THROUGH THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK.
