Marine Weather and Tides
Version 3.4 |
5/20/2018 -- NOAA is having problems with the data feed that I use to draw the graphs. They are aware of the issue and working to resolve it. Sometimes changing the location by about a mile will give a correct graph. 3/3/2018 - There is a new GOES Satellite for the east coast that required rewriting that part of the code. Please report any issues. |

Updated national weather service mobile al 1154 pm cdt Wed jul 18 2018 Discussion Updated for latest aviation discussion below. Aviation 06z issuance... Radar trends indicate that much of the area is void of weather. Satellite and surface observations indicate cloud cover over the local area is at mid and high levels but there are indications for the potential development of ifr MVFR CIGS by and after 19.08z at mob. Forecasters are seeing some of this over southern ms and southeast la. Elsewhere,VFR cigs. Winds light. Another round of convection forecast during the day Thursday. 10 Prev discussion issued 932 pm cdt Wed jul 18 2018 discussion... See updated information for land areas below. Update... Have updated to adjust pops for numerous showers and storms well inland which are gradually diminishing. Small pops follow for the overnight hours over the southern portion of the area as the diminishing convection continues slowly southward. Made additional adjustments to temperature trends and winds. 29 prev discussion... Issued 712 pm cdt Wed jul 18 2018 discussion... Updated for latest aviation discussion below. Aviation... 00z issuance... Have kept in -shra as prevailing weather thru 19.02z along the gulf coast given radar trends and to allow time for further dissipation. Additional clusters of tsra over the interior, but do not anticipate these making any impacts over coastal terminals. Cig bases generally at mid and high levels with light west to northwest winds thru the night. 10 prev discussion... Issued 530 pm cdt Wed jul 18 2018 near term now through Thursday ... No significant changes to the near term package. Mean mid level troughing will continue to extend southward across our forecast area through Thursday afternoon. Scattered showers and storms over the region late this afternoon should diminish in coverage through the evening. Another round of scattered to numerous showers and storms should develop late Thursday morning into Thursday afternoon, with storms most numerous along a weak trough surface boundary where theta-e deep layer moisture will be enhanced during the afternoon hours. Outside of convection, heat indices will be higher across the |
region Thursday afternoon, with MAX values ranging between 102-107. 21 short term Thursday night through Saturday night ... An upper level trough is forecast to deepen across the ohio and tennessee valley region and across the southeastern u.S. Through Saturday night, while an upper level ridge builds across the southern plains. A mean northwest flow pattern aloft will prevail across our area between these features through Saturday night. Deep layer moisture is expected to shift farther south and east, with slightly drier air advecting into our western and northern zones. Will maintain low end scattered pops Friday afternoon, with the best coverage mainly along and east of i-65. A more active convective day is still anticipated on Saturday as a more vigorous shortwave trough pushes southeastward across our area on the southwestern periphery of the aforementioned trough axis. Medium range guidance indicates that better coverage of convection may be east of our area, but there will be enough moisture for isolated to scattered storms across our region. Increased deep layer shear with the digging shortwave trough along with decent afternoon instability CAPE values over 2000 j kg may result in a few strong to severe storms and will need to monitor closely. Heat will otherwise remain a concern as maximum heat indices could potentially range between 105-110 on Friday and Saturday afternoons. 21 long term Sunday through Wednesday ... Medium range guidance is in relatively good agreement with shifting the deep upper level trough located from the tennessee valley southeastern u.S. Sunday southwestward toward the central gulf coast region early next week. Better moisture and convective chances may remain confined east of our area Sunday, before better coverage potentially returns early next week with increasing deep layer moisture associated with the southwestward shifting trough axis. Plenty of heat humidity otherwise continues through the extended. 21 marine... A light to moderate westerly flow will prevail over the marine area through the weekend as a ridge of high pressure extends across the central and southern gulf of mexico and a weak trough extends just north of the gulf coast.

Finally, tide and current data on this site is from 2007 and 2008 data bases, which may contain even older data. Changes in harbors due to building or dredging change tides and currents and for that reason many of the locations presented are no longer supported by newer data bases. For example, there is very little tidal current data in newer data bases so current data is likely wrong to some extent. This data is NOT FOR NAVIGATION. See the XTide disclaimer for details. In addition, tide and current are influenced by storms, river flow, and other factors beyond the ability of any predictive program. |
