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
