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
