Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Mobile AL 358 PM CDT Tue Jun 25 2019 .NEAR TERM /Now Through Wednesday/...Development of isolated convection is finally underway along the seabreeze this afternoon, as a few cells are initiating across northeastern Mobile/northern Baldwin counties in southwest AL, and also just east of Niceville, FL as of 315 PM CDT. SPC mesoscale analysis continues to show a zone of higher instability with MLCAPE values between 2000-3000 J/KG across southeast MS, portions of interior southwest AL and eastward across the western FL panhandle. Isolated to scattered showers and storms should continue to develop over this part of the area late this afternoon and lift across southwest and south central AL and interior portions of the northwest FL panhandle late this afternoon before probably gradually diminishing into the early to mid evening hours. We are also monitoring another area of stronger convection near the LA/MS border this afternoon, which is associated with a shortwave trough lifting over this region. There is potential that convection associated with this feature could continue to develop eastward toward southeast MS through this evening. We will therefore continue chance POPs over these portions of our forecast area into this evening, with lower chances farther south near the immediate coast. The strong instability and moist airmass will support downburst potential with the stronger storms that develop, so we will be monitoring for localized damaging wind gusts, in addition to frequent lightning and brief heavy rainfall with the stronger storms that develop. Ridging aloft builds across the north central Gulf of Mexico on Wednesday while an upper level trough/low moves eastward across northern AL. A slightly drier airmass (dewpoints mixing into the 60s inland and around 70 closer to the coast) also looks to return over our region Wednesday as a surface ridge of high pressure builds from the Appalachian Mountains to the north central Gulf coast. There is still some uncertainty on overall convective coverage that may develop across our area Wednesday, but considering there will be enough moisture available in both the low levels and the deep layers, that we will be located on the base of the passing trough, we will keep a low chance of showers and storms in the forecast for Wednesday afternoon. Highs should once again reach the lower to mid 90s inland, and around 90 degrees closer to the beaches. The slightly drier airmass should allow for lower heat index values in the 95-100 degrees range (perhaps slightly higher in a few spots). /21 .SHORT TERM /Wednesday night Through Friday night/...25.12Z global spectral models continue to show a break in the mid level sub- tropical ridge positioned from the Mid-Atlantic to the Gulf to close out the week. Within the weakness, an inverted H85/weakly defined surface pressure trof over the FL Peninsula Wednesday night migrates very slowly westward, becoming positioned over the central Gulf coast Friday AM. This feature looks to only make it as far west as southeast LA Friday night to end this period of the forecast. A slight to perhaps low end chance of showers/storms Thursday looks to become mostly in the chance category by Friday considering the better influence/focus for ascent from the low level trof feature by then. Warmest day in the short term is Thursday with lower to mid 90s for highs. With better chances of showers and storms Friday, highs are favored to be a few degrees lower overall at 88 to 90 close to the coast and lower half of the 90s interior. Little change in night-time lows, remaining near to a couple degrees on average, above climatology. /10 .LONG TERM /Saturday Through Tuesday/...Inverted mid level trof axis, progged to be aligned from the Lower MS River Valley to the western Gulf Saturday morning continues a slow westward shift into TX by Sunday. Meanwhile, mid level heights to begin rising over southeast Monday and Tuesday where an upper ridge is shown to evolve. Will maintain a modest chance of daytime showers/storms over the weekend coincident with time of best heating and resultant instability. Will maintain chance PoPs Monday and Tuesday, but all is dependent on how strong the ridge axis aloft over the southeast is. If the ridge aloft is more amplified (stronger), then large scale subsidence would effectively result in a lower chance of showers/storms early next week. Highs change little over the weekend with lower to mid 90s north of the beaches. At the beaches, mostly in the upper 80s is advertised. Daytime highs trend higher, ranging 93 to 97 over the interior early next week with beaches lifting into the lower 90s. Lows typically in the lower to mid 70s over the weekend and continuing a slight warming trend into the first of next week. /10 && .MARINE...A surface ridge of high pressure will build across the north central Gulf Coast region through Wednesday, then westward across the western Gulf of Mexico through the end of the week. A generally light to occasionally moderate westerly flow this afternoon becomes northerly Wednesday into Thursday. Onshore flow redevelops Friday into the weekend as high pressure builds back into the eastern Gulf. Isolated to scattered showers and storms remain possible through the period, with the best chances this weekend. /21 && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
