Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Mobile AL 107 PM CDT Sun Jun 10 2018 .DISCUSSION...Updated for latest aviation discussion below. && .AVIATION... 18Z issuance... Majority MVFR and VFR conditions expected to last throughout the afternoon and evening due to scattered thunderstorm activity. After sunset these storms are expected to die down with winds generally light and out of the west north west. By morning widespread showers and isolated thunderstorms are likely to start the day and last through the afternoon tomorrow. DJ/17 && .PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 1142 AM CDT Sun Jun 10 2018/ DISCUSSION...See updated information for land areas below. UPDATE...Scattered early morning convection along the coast and offshore has dissipated and we are now beginning to see development of storms over land as MLCAPES have climbed to 2000-2500 J/kg. Expect scattered storms to develop through the course of the afternoon, aided by a broad weakness aloft over the southeast states. Some of the storms may become strong and we cannot rule out an isolated severe storm. The 12z LIX sounding showed some dry air aloft, although not as dry as yesterday. In addition, wet bulb zeroes are under 11,000 ft. This suggests that locally strong wind gusts and small hail are the predominate threats (along with lightning), but a localized severe gust or hail near quarter size is possible. 34/JFB PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 639 AM CDT Sun Jun 10 2018/ DISCUSSION...Updated for latest aviation discussion below. AVIATION... 12Z issuance...First round of shra/tsra affecting area TAF sites attm, with TEMPO drops to MVFR levels. Another round is expected later this morning into the afternoon. CIGs/VISBYs expected to remain at MVFR or above levels. /16 PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 449 AM CDT Sun Jun 10 2018/ NEAR TERM /Now Through Sunday night/...The biggest question with the current forecast is the chance of rain. Several shortwaves move over the forecast area today through tonight, providing a bit of upper support for precip creation. Also helping is a very moist airmass (precip h20 values at or above 1.5" with little to no dry layers noted). Instability is abundant (MuCapes topping above 2000j/kg). Current isolated activity south of the coast is expected to move inland today with the development and inland movement of a Gulf breeze during the late morning into afternoon hours. With the very high moisture levels, upper weakness and surface initiation, have went above seasonal for PoPs today into tonight. The chance of any strong to severe storms, wind-wise, is a bit lower today. With little to no upper level dry air to mix in with the tsra today, strong to damaging downburst winds are expected to be low. A bigger concern is hail. Guidance is advertising a band of lower Wetbulb 0 heights (10k'-11k') stretching north along the Al/Ms state line this afternoon, creating a better chance of any hail forming above the surface making it to the surface. Also am concerned about the chance of water problems. With multiple tsra outflows interacting this afternoon, weak upper level winds, and a soupy airmass, better rainfall rates/amounts are possible with the stronger storms, along with storms staying over one locality longer. 1hr FFG values are low enough in some localities (2"-2.25") for the heavier rainers to cause problems, especially in poor drainage areas. Last item to cover, with higher PoPs east, have went with an east to west gradient (albeit small) in highs today, ranging from around seasonal east in the higher PoP areas to a bit higher west, with this area seeing a better chance of daytime heating. Tonight, have went around to a bit above seasonal. /16 SHORT TERM /Monday Through Tuesday night/...The weak broad upper level trough over the southeast states will persist through Monday night, and then get nudged slightly eastward on Tuesday as upper level impulses pass over the northeast conus. However, and area of weakness will remain over the region between two upper high pressure systems. A ridge of surface high pressure will persist across the eastern and northern Gulf of Mexico early in the week, bringing a light mainly southwest surface wind flow. Deep layer moisture embedded across the southeast with with precipitable water values between 1.6 to 2.0 inches will remain. With decreasing stability during the daylight hours, MLCapes will manage to climb to between 1000-1500 J/Kg on Monday, and between 800-1200 J/Kg on Tuesday. With the deeper moisture in place, little no dry layer air will reside over the forecast area, and wet bulb zero heights climb to between 12.5 and 13.5K ft. Therefore, this will continue to diminish the threat of strong wind gusts and hail with most storms. A rouge strong storm is still possible however. The main impacts will be localized heavy rain where storms persist and frequent lightening. /22 LONG TERM /Wednesday Through Saturday/...The upper level trough will ever so slowly move eastward through the long term as upper ridge of high pressure builds into the region from the west. The surface ridge across the western Atlantic and northern Gulf of Mexico will remain intact, but a surface trough is expected to develop along the eastern seaboard. The combination of the upper trough just to our east, the base of the surface trough impinging into the southeast states, and deep layer moisture, scattered to numerous showers and thunderstorms are forecast to develop each day and linger through the evening hours. Isolated to scattered showers and thunderstorms are forecast during the overnight hours. Both high and low temperatures will be close to seasonal values. /22 MARINE...A shallow upper trough over the Eastern Conus will continue to weaken into the coming work week, allowing a surface ridge to build west over the northern Gulf of Mexico. An upper trough will develop over the western Gulf coast late in the week, tightening the pressure gradient over the Gulf and shifting a general sw to w flow to more southerly by the end of the week. The steady southerly component to the winds through the week will allow for a slow increase in seas, especially closer to the coming weekend. /16 && .MOB WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... AL...None.
