Fxus64 kmob 192344 afdmob area forecast discussion national weather service mobile al 644 pm cdt Thu oct 19 2017 Discussion Updated for latest aviation discussion below. Aviation 20 00z issuance...VFR conditions and generally light northeast winds expected through the 24 hour period. Prev discussion issued 334 pm cdt Thu oct 19 2017 near term now through Friday ... Other than a gradual slight increase in boundary layer moisture, a very dry airmass remains in place over the region today and model soundings indicate essentially no change through Friday. So overall, a persistence forecast is the way to go for the near term period. The light to occasionally moderate northeast to east surface wind flow will persist tonight and Friday, as surface high pressure continues to ridge into the forecast area from the north and east. This surface pattern has helped dewpoints rebound into the lower 60s in many locations over the southern portion of the forecast area, although they remain in the middle 50s over much of the northern interior counties. With the slightly increased low level moisture, just as was the case this morning, expect some patchy light fog and low cloud development for a brief time late tonight, mainly over the interior. Otherwise clear to mostly clear skies are expected through the period. Aloft, upper ridge axis will migrate east across our forecast area tonight, and then be to the east of the forecast area by early Friday afternoon. As this occurs, a deeper return flow off the gulf will gradually develop by late Friday, but this will primarily influence the short and long term forecast periods, and not have any appreciable effect on near term period. Zero rain chance in the near term, so primarily just a temperature forecast. Lows tonight generally ranging from the lower 50s inland to the upper 50s and lower 60s near the coast. A few normally cooler locations over far northern interior portions of the forecast area could briefly dip into the upper 40s toward daybreak Friday. High temps on Friday climbing into the lower 80s across the entire region. 12 ds short term Friday night through Sunday night ... To begin the short term, deep layer ridge is progged to be positioned over the southeast, while lower geo-potential heights move into the plains. The ridge makes steady eastward progress off the southeast us coast by Sunday while plains high level trof begins to sharpen as it approaches the lower ms river valley by Sunday night. With the sharpening and steady eastward progression of the long-wave trof, attendant surface cold front moves eastward into the deep south Sunday night. Deep layer moisture begins to slowly modify over the course of the weekend, becoming highest on Sunday with pwat's lifting to at or above 1.8 inches as best dynamics begin to approach from the west. With that also comes a marked increase in chances of showers and storms on Sunday, becoming likely over the western zones Sunday afternoon and likely area-wide Sunday night. The potential of strong storms exists mainly Sunday and Sunday

night with the eastward passage of the larger scale ascent and some increase in low level winds. As far as severe weather potential, despite modest daytime instability, an assessment of h85 low level south to southwest wind fields generally less than 30 kts per latest global spectral models and ensembles would suggest that the threat of severe weather is low at this time. This may change with the onset of new data on subsequent shifts. Daytime highs Saturday and Sunday in the lower half of the 80s. Overnight lows from 56 to 61 interior Friday night become more mild Saturday and Sunday nights ranging from the mid upper 60s interior. 68 to 73 coast. 10 long term Monday through Thursday ... A series of cold fronts move across the central gulf coast next week. As southern stream mid level system ejects eastward over the deep south on Monday, the first front makes passage late Monday morning. Chances of showers remain high along with a few embedded storms. Rain chances lower Monday night. A more pronounced deep layer trof digs southward into the deep south late Tuesday bringing a reinforcing, dry, secondary cold frontal passage through the area. It is this boundary that brings much lower deep layer thicknesses and cold air advective processes in its wake Wednesday morning where lows look to dip into the mid 40s over the interior and mid 50s coast. Latest gridded high temperatures for Wednesday look to come in some 5 to 10 degrees below climatology in the mid 60s interior to near 70 coast. Wednesday night lows could lower into the 40s all the way down to i-10, while beach areas closer to 50. Highs on Thursday 67 to 71 area-wide. 10 marine... A strong surface ridge of high pressure will continue to stretch from the mid atlantic region to the southeastern states and into the north central gulf of mexico through Saturday night, with a moderate to occasionally strong northeast to east wind flow persisting through Saturday night. Flow will then become more southeasterly on Sunday, then shift from southwest to northwest Monday through Tuesday as a cold front moves east across the marine area. Exercise caution winds and seas (15 to 20 knots and up to 6 feet) expected through most of the period, but will have to monitor trends for possible small craft advisory conditions. Scattered showers and thunderstorms return to the forecast by Saturday and Sunday, becoming more numerous Sunday night into Monday with the passage of the aforementioned front, before ending with the passage of the front late Monday into Tuesday. 12 ds Mob watches warnings advisories Al...

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.
