Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Mobile AL 1239 PM CDT Tue Jun 29 2021 .NEAR TERM /Now Through Wednesday/...The upper level inverted trough will persist until Wednesday over the northern Gulf before beginning to break down somewhat through the day. This may be in response to an upper trough digging down over the Great Lakes, upper Ohio Valley, and northeastern CONUS during this time. Meanwhile, surface high pressure will continue over the Appalachians through midweek. For the rest of today, we will be monitoring the development of showers and storms near the coast. A few storms have popped up over coastal Alabama and near Panama City Beach early this afternoon. Model PWATs are between 1.6-1.8 inches today, with sufficient, but not an exuberant amount, of instability. Models indicate SBCAPE between 900-1200 J/kg and MLCAPE around 500 J/kg. Additionally, DCAPE values range between 600-800 J/kg. Therefore, after assessing the wet microburst risk, we are in a moderate risk this afternoon based on the moisture level and sufficient instability (especially DCAPE). Hi-Res guidance shows much of the activity through this afternoon to be over and around our coastal counties, then moving further inland through the evening. Chances for rain will then decrease overnight to be little to none, but increase once again over the open Gulf waters and near the coast by early Wednesday morning. Model PWATs increase to be between 1.8-2 inches on Wednesday, with MLCAPE around 500 J/kg, and SBCAPE up to 1000 J/kg. Although, model DCAPE is shown to be much lower than today, with values near 500 J/kg. This is because more deep layer moisture is anticipated through the midlevels by Wednesday. Overall, a transition to a more wet pattern will begin by midweek, and expecting an uptick in coverage of showers and storms on Wednesday. Current temperatures are in the lower to mid 80s, with a few spots over south-central Alabama in the upper 80s. Still expecting highs this afternoon to reach the upper 80s to lower 90s inland and the mid to upper 80s at the immediate coast. Lows tonight will continue to be warm, in the lower 70s north of I-10 and in the lower to mid 70s south of I-10. Anticipating similar high temperatures Wednesday afternoon, in the upper 80s to lower 90s inland and in the mid to upper 80s at the beaches. Lastly, there is a MODERATE RISK of rip currents through at least tonight, followed by a low risk beginning Wednesday. /26 && .AVIATION... 18Z issuance...Mainly VFR conditions were present at issuance. Isolated to scattered showers and storms are expected this afternoon, particularly near the coast. By the evening, this activity will move further inland but continue to decrease. Little to no rain chances are anticipated overnight, but chances will then ramp up once again by early Wednesday morning along the coast. Expecting a bit higher coverage of scattered showers and storms Wednesday morning as these translate onshore and especially north of I-10 (and generally along and south of Highway 84) by the afternoon. Reduced VIS and CIGs to MVFR (and even to IFR in the heavier showers) can be expected with these. Otherwise, outside of any storms, conditions will be mainly VFR through the TAF period. Southeast winds this afternoon will continue to be between 5-10 knots inland and around 10-15 knots at the coast. Winds will decrease and become light this evening and through the overnight hours. Southeast winds will then increase through Wednesday morning to be between 5-10 knots. /26 && .MOB WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... AL...None. FL...None. MS...None.
