AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MOBILE AL 1232 PM CDT THU MAR 24 2016 .DISCUSSION...SEE UPDATED INFORMATION FOR LAND AREAS BELOW. && .UPDATE...INTERESTING EVOLUTION OF THE OVERALL PATTERN ACROSS THE GULF COAST REGION LATE THIS MORNING. 17Z SURFACE ANALYSIS SHOWS SURFACE COLD FRONT NEARING THE MID MISSISSIPPI VALLEY REGION AND STRETCHING SOUTHWEST THROUGH CENTRAL LA AND INTO THE NORTHWESTERN GULF OF MEXICO. A GRAVITY WAVE ASSOCIATED WITH AN EARLIER LINE OF STORMS HAS SPREAD WELL EAST OF THE COLD FRONT AND HAS SERVED AS FOCUS FOR AN INTENSIFYING LINE OF STORMS STRETCHING FROM SOUTHEAST MS INTO SOUTHEAST LA AND THE ADJACENT GULF WATERS SOUTH OF LA. MESOSCALE ANALYSIS FROM SPC SHOWS MLCAPE VALUES HAVE RISEN TO 500-1000 J/KG ACROSS SOUTHEAST MS AND SOUTHERN PORTIONS OF SOUTHWEST AL...ALSO STRETCHING INTO THE NORTHWEST FL PANHANDLE. DEEP LAYER SHEAR REMAINS STRONG OVER THE REGION THIS AFTERNOON...AND 0-1 KM STORM RELATIVE HELICITY VALUES ARE FORECAST TO RISE 200-300 M2/S2 FROM SOUTHWEST AL AND PORTIONS OF THE NORTHWEST FL PANHANDLE NORTHEASTWARD TO INTERIOR PORTIONS OF SOUTH CENTRAL AL. WILL CONTINUE TO WATCH THE EASTWARD PROGRESSION OF THE SQUALL LINE AS IT MOVES ACROSS COASTAL PORTIONS OF THE CWFA WITHIN THE MODERATELY UNSTABLE AIRMASS...WHILE ALSO MONITORING FOR POTENTIAL DISCRETE SUPERCELLS AHEAD OF THIS FEATURE. DAMAGING WINDS STILL LOOK TO BE THE PRIMARY SEVERE CONCERN ACROSS THE REGION THIS AFTERNOON...BUT ISOLATED TORNADOES AND LARGE HAIL WILL ALSO BE POSSIBLE. TORNADO WATCH #54 HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR MUCH OF SOUTHWEST AND SOUTH CENTRAL AL AND THE NORTHWEST FL PANHANDLE UNTIL 7 PM CDT. /21 && .PREV AVIATION DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 1223 PM CDT THU MAR 24 2016/ DISCUSSION...UPDATED FOR LATEST AVIATION DISCUSSION BELOW. .AVIATION... 18Z ISSUANCE...CURRENT TAF PACKAGE DOMINATED BY A LINE OF SHRA/TSRA MOVING EAST ACROSS THE FA ATTM. GENERAL VFR TO MVFR LEVEL CIGS WILL SEE LOCAL DETERIORATION IN THE HEAVY RAIN. TIMING TOOL HAS THE LINE MOVING EAST APPROXIMATELY 22 KNOTS WITH STORMS EMBEDDED IN THE LINE MOVING NORTHEAST AT APPROXIMATELY 45 KNOTS. WITH THIS TIMING...THIS LINE WILL AFFECT ARE TAF SITE FROM CURRENTLY(KMOB) TO 23(MOVING EAST OF KPNS). /16 PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 519 AM CDT THU MAR 24 2016/ NEAR TERM /NOW THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT/...MAIN UPPER TROF OVER THE CENTRAL PLAINS STATES THIS MORNING WILL CONTINUE TO SLOWLY DAMPEN AND LIFT NORTHEAST THROUGH 12Z FRI. WELL TO THE SOUTH ENOUGH MID LEVEL FORCING AND LIFT FROM THIS MAIN SYSTEM TO THE NORTH WILL SHIFT EAST ACROSS THE LOWER MS RIVER VALLEY AND CENTRAL GULF STATES BEGINNING LATER THIS MORNING EXITING OFF TO THE EAST BY LATE THIS EVENING INTO EARLY FRI MORNING. AT THE SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE CONTINUES TO WEAKEN OVER THE WESTERN ATLANTIC AND SOUTHEAST CONUS AS A SFC COLD FRONT ASSOCIATED WITH THE MAIN SYSTEM TO THE NORTH APPROACHES FROM THE WEST. LATEST MODEL GUIDANCE CONTINUES TO SHOW INCREASING VERTICAL SHEAR COMBINED WITH BETTER SURFACE BASED INSTABILITY LATER TODAY DUE TO A 30 TO 40 KNOT 850 JET MOVING OVER WESTERN PARTS OF THE FORECAST AREA BY MIDDAY TODAY COMBINED WITH SFC BASED CAPES FROM 800 TO 1200 J/KG...SHIFTING EAST ACROSS REMAINING AREAS OF THE FORECAST AREA THROUGH THIS EVENING. WITH 0-3 KM HELICITY VALUES RANGING FROM 200 TO 400 M2/S2 BY THIS TIME FRAME SOME CELLS COULD SHOW SOME ROTATION BY THIS AFTERNOON CONTINUING INTO EARLY THIS EVENING HOURS. IN THE UPPER LEVELS THE RIGHT REAR QUAD OF AN UPPER JET STRETCHES FROM THE TN RIVER VALLEY TO LOWER PARTS OF MS AND LA LATE TODAY LIFTING NORTH AND EAST DURING THE EVENING HOURS COULD ENHANCE THE BETTER LIFT IN THE MID LEVELS LATE THIS AFTERNOON THROUGH THIS EVENING...AFFECTING MOSTLY THE NORTHERN HALF OF THE FORECAST LATE IN THE DAY. AS RESULT WILL CONTINUE WITH THE CURRENT THINKING WITH THE THREAT OF SEVERE WEATHER FOR TODAY BRINGING THE SEVERE THREAT FURTHER SOUTH TOWARDS THE COAST. CURRENT THINKING FROM SPC ALSO DENOTES THIS WITH A MARGINAL RISK MAINLY ALONG THE COAST AND OFFSHORE WITH A SLIGHT RISK LOCATED OVER MOST INLAND AREAS OF THE FORECAST AREA THIS AFTERNOON AND THIS EVENING. AS A RESULT WILL MAKE THE PROPER ADJUSTMENTS WITH THE CURRENT GRAPHICS BRINGING THE BETTER SEVERE THREAT FURTHER SOUTH AFFECTING MUCH OF THE FORECAST AREA BY THIS AFTERNOON AND THIS EVENING. DAMAGING STRAIGHT LINE WINDS...MEDIUM TO LARGE HAIL AND TORNADOES WILL BE POSSIBLE WITH THE STRONGER STORMS. STAY TUNED FOR FURTHER UPDATES ON THIS DEVELOPING SEVERE WEATHER SITUATION LATER TODAY. AS FOR TEMPS WILL LEAN TOWARDS THE WARMER MAV GUIDANCE THROUGH TONIGHT DUE TO INCREASED WARM AIR ADVECTION THROUGH THIS EVENING AND GOOD MIXING IN THE BOUNDARY LAYER. HIGHS TODAY WILL BE IN THE MID TO UPPER 70S INLAND AND THE LOWER TO MIDDLE 70S NEAR THE IMMEDIATE COAST. LOWS TONIGHT WILL RANGE FROM THE UPPER 40S TO LOWER 50S TO THE WEST...MID TO UPPER 50S TO NEAR 60 TO THE EAST AND ALONG THE COAST. 32/EE SHORT TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT/...THE SURFACE COLD FRONT OVER THE GULF OF MEXICO WILL STALL ON FRIDAY AND THEN BEGIN ITS JOURNEY BACK NORTHWARD AS A WARM FRONT ON SATURDAY AS A HIGH PRESSURE RIDGE ACROSS THE REGION LIFTS NORTHEAST. A DEEP SOUTHWEST FLOW ABOVE 850 MB WILL PERSIST THROUGH THE PERIOD AS A MASSIVE LONGWAVE TROUGH STRADDLES THE ENTIRE UNITED STATES FROM COAST TO COAST...WITH THE BASE REACHING AS FAR SOUTH AS SOUTHERN MEXICO. A FEW LINGERING SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS OUR EXTREME SOUTHEAST ZONES EARLY FRIDAY MORNING WILL MOVE QUICKLY TO THE EAST OF THE AREA...LIKELY FOLLOWED BY DRY CONDITIONS THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT. THE NAM12 MODEL DEPARTS SHARPLY FROM THE GFS AND ECMWF MODELS AS IT WANTS TO MAINTAIN A VERY MOIST AIRMASS TO 700 MB...AND WHEN COMBINED WITH LOW LEVEL OVER-RUNNING KEEPS SHOWERS ONGOING THROUGHOUT THE DAY FRIDAY INTO FRIDAY NIGHT. THE GFS AND ECMWF MODELS ARE STRONGER WITH THE FRONT PUSHING OFF THE COAST AND BRINGING A DRY SUBSIDENCE AIR MASS INTO THE REGION WITH CLEARING SKIES. WILL BASE THE FORECAST ON THE LATTER TWO MODELS BRINGING IN THE DRY AIR AND CLEARING SKIES WHICH IS THE CONSENSUS OF THE SURROUNDING FORECAST OFFICES. WHILE IT SHOULD BE DRY THROUGH MOST OF FRIDAY NIGHT...A FEW SHOWERS ALONG THE NORTHWARD ADVANCING WARM FRONT COULD IMPINGE ALONG THE COAST BY LATE FRIDAY NIGHT. SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL RETURN TO THE REGION SATURDAY AND SATURDAY NIGHT AS THE WARM FRONT PASSES NORTHWARD THROUGH FORECAST AREA. NO SEVERE WEATHER IS EXPECTED WITH THIS NEXT ROUND OF THUNDERSTORMS. HIGH TEMPERATURES FRIDAY WILL RANGE FROM 69 TO 75 DEGREES. LOW TEMPERATURES FRIDAY NIGHT WILL RANGE FROM THE MID 40S TO LOWER 50S NORTHWEST OF I-65 AND FROM 52 TO 59 DEGREES TO THE SOUTHEAST. HIGH TEMPERATURES SATURDAY WILL REBOUND TO BETWEEN 76 TO 81 DEGREES INLAND AREA. COOLER TEMPERATURES RANGING FROM 70 TO 75 DEGREES WILL OCCUR ALONG THE BEACHES AND IMMEDIATE COASTAL AREAS DUE TO THE SOUTHERLY WINDS MOVING OVER THE COOL GULF WATERS. /22 LONG TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...AN UPPER LEVEL SHORTWAVE EMBEDDED IN THE MUCH LARGER UPPER LONGWAVE TROUGH WILL MOVE EAST- NORTHEASTWARD FROM THE CENTRAL PLAINS TO THE OHIO RIVER VALLEY THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE WEEKEND...AND THEN OVER THE NORTHEAST CONUS ON MONDAY. MEANWHILE A SURFACE LOW PRESSURE AREA OVER THE SOUTHERN PLAINS SUNDAY MORNING WILL ALSO MOVE EAST-NORTHEASTWARD WITH THE SYSTEM. AN ASSOCIATED COLD FRONT WILL APPROACH THE REGION FROM THE NORTHWEST SUNDAY EVENING...AND THEN PASS THROUGH THE FORECAST AREA LATE SUNDAY NIGHT INTO MONDAY MORNING. WILL MAINTAIN DEFINITE (80-90 PERCENT) PRECIPITATION CHANCES ACROSS THE ENTIRE FORECAST EASTER SUNDAY...FOLLOWED BY SCATTERED COVERAGE SUNDAY NIGHT. STRONG TO ISOLATED SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE WITH THIS SYSTEM...BUT THE MAIN THREAT WILL BE HEAVY RAINFALL. THE LATEST RUNS OF THE GFS AND ECMWF ARE NOW KEEPING THE BULK OF THE PRECIPITATION (6-10 INCHES) OVER THE NORTHERN GULF OF MEXICO. HOWEVER WE EXPECT WIDESPREAD 2 TO 3 INCHES OF TOTAL RAINFALL WITH THIS NEXT SYSTEM...WITH LOCALIZED HIGHER AMOUNTS OF 3 TO 5 INCHES...ESPECIALLY ALONG THE COAST. HIGH TEMPERATURES WILL STAY IN THE LOW TO MID 70S. LOWS IN THE MID 50S TO LOWER 60S SUNDAY NIGHT...WARMING INTO THE UPPER 50 TO LOWER 60S BY WEDNESDAY NIGHT. /22 MARINE...A MODERATE TO STRONG SOUTHERLY WIND FLOW WILL PERSIST THROUGH THIS EVENING AS A COLD FRONT APPROACHES FROM THE WEST. SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED AHEAD AND ALONG THE FRONT WITH A FEW STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS POSSIBLE THROUGH THIS EVENING. THE COLD FRONT WILL MOVE ACROSS THE MARINE AREA LATE TONIGHT INTO EARLY FRI WITH A MODERATE TO STRONG OFFSHORE FLOW IN THE WAKE OF THE FRONT THROUGH EARLY FRI. SEAS UP TO 7 FEET WILL BE POSSIBLE WELL OFFSHORE BY EARLY FRI MORNING. AS A RESULT A SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY MAY BE NEEDED IN THE WAKE OF THE FRONT. A MODERATE SOUTHERLY FLOW WILL REDEVELOP LATE SAT INTO SUN AHEAD OF ANOTHER COLD FRONT APPROACHING FROM THE WEST. 32/EE && .MOB WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
