(on/off) Help NOTE: mouseover dotted underlined text for definition| Fxus64 kmob 240944 afdmob area forecast discussion national weather service mobile al 444 am cdt Sat jun 24 2017 Near term now through Saturday night Upper level disturbances will continue to move from west to east over the region in the base of a large upper trough over the the central and eastern conus. Meanwhile, a surface ridge from the western atlantic into the eastern gulf of mexico will shift further east as a weak surface trough just northwest of the forecast area slips southeast and settles across the area. High precipitable water values ranging from 2.0 to 2.25 inches will remain throughout the near term. Area radars detecting a cluster of showers with embedded isolated thunderstorms moving across southeast mississippi and into southwest alabama. This precipitation is expected to shift slowly eastward throughout the day today, and expand in coverage especially this afternoon. Some of the showers and storms will again capable of producing periods of heavy rainfall, with additional rainfall amounts up to 3 inches possible, especially where the more persistent rain bands set up. The additional rainfall will fall on saturated ground conditions, so any additional rain may result in flash flooding. As a result, a flash flood watch remains in effect across much of the area. In addition to the risk of flash flooding, many area rivers are now in or will soon go into minor to moderate flood. Scattered showers and a few thunderstorms will persist overnight across the entire forecast area. A high rip current risk also remains in effect along the beaches of alabama and the western florida panhandle. High temperatures today will range from 84 to 89 degrees. Low temperatures tonight will range from 69 to 74 degrees inland areas, with mid 70s along the coast. 22 Short term Sunday through Monday night A moist zonal flow pattern will persist across our forecast area into the day Sunday as the surface front remains positioned near the coast. The axis of deep layer moisture will continue to slowly sink southward across the forecast area along the frontal zone through the day Sunday, with precipitable water values continuing to average from around 1.8 inches along and south of the highway 84 to as high as around 2.2 inches near the immediate coast. Scattered to numerous showers and thunderstorms will continue to develop over the area Sunday, with the best coverage expected closer to the coast within the higher pwat airmass. We will once again need to monitor for locally heavy rainfall and a continued potential for localized flooding within the stronger heavier embedded showers and storms Sunday, particularly near the coast. Short range model guidance is in general agreement with bringing a considerably drier airmass southward into central and northern portions of the forecast area Sunday night, with precipitable water values looking to fall to 0.75" to 1.25" along and north of the highway 84 corridor by early Monday morning. A zone of deeper moisture still holds close to the immediate coast. Therefore, we will continue a chance of showers and storms near the coast, with pops falling to less than 20% farther inland late. Highs on Sunday are forecast to warm into the mid to upper 80s. Lows Sunday night will be cooler inland with the arrival of the drier airmass, with readings in the mid to upper 60s. Lows near the immediate coast and beaches should range in the lower 70s. A zonal flow pattern aloft will persist Monday and Monday night as our forecast area remains on the base of a broad upper level trough that will encompass much of the eastern conus. A drier |
airmass will be in place across most of the forecast area, with precipitable water values progged to 1" to 1.25" inland, and 1.25" to 1.4" near the coast according to the NAM and gfs. The ECMWF is a little more optimistic with available moisture over southwest al and into southeast ms, where it is depicting a little more convective coverage. We will split the difference and forecast isolated showers and storms over central and southern areas, while maintaining a low chance of pops over southwestern portions of the cwa. Convection should decrease with loss of daytime heating inland, though isolated to scattered showers and storms may develop near the immediate coast and offshore by Monday night. Highs Monday should continue to range in the mid to upper 80s, with lows Monday night cooling into the mid to upper 60s inland and around 70 to the lower 70s near the immediate coast and beaches. 21 Long term Tuesday through Friday The relatively dry airmass will hold in place across the forecast area Tuesday, and generally expect only isolated convective coverage at best over the region with weak shortwave ridging aloft extending overhead. Deep layer moisture should surge back northward over the forecast area Wednesday through Friday as an upper level ridge of high pressure strengthens over the western atlantic and eastern gulf of mexico. Precipitable water values improving to 1.75" to 2" Wednesday, and potentially as high as 2" to 2.25" Thursday and Friday will support an increasing daily chance of showers and thunderstorms mid to late in the week, some with locally heavy rainfall possible. Highs each day should continue to range in the mid to upper 80s, with morning lows gradually modifying back into the 70s by late in the week as low level moisture increases over the region. 21 Marine Weak high pressure will continue over the eastern and north central gulf through Sunday then become reinforced by early next week as drier more stable air moves south over the region, in the wake of a weakening frontal boundary moving south towards the coast over the weekend. Showers and thunderstorms are expected ahead and along the front with the best coverage occurring over the marine area Sunday into the Monday. 22 Preliminary point temps pops Mobile 88 72 85 68 70 50 60 40 pensacola 88 75 86 71 60 30 60 40 destin 87 77 86 74 50 20 60 30 evergreen 89 72 86 66 80 50 50 20 waynesboro 87 69 84 65 80 60 40 20 camden 88 70 85 66 80 40 30 20 crestview 89 73 88 68 70 40 60 30 Mob watches warnings advisories Al...

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. |
