GMZ600 Synopsis For Pascagoula Ms To Okaloosa Walton County Line Fl Out 60 Nm Including Major Area Bays And Sounds- 1020 Am Cdt Tue Aug 20 2019
Synopsis..A light southerly wind flow will continue over the marine area through much of the week as a surface ridge of high pressure continues to stretch from the western atlantic to the north central gulf. Winds and seas will be locally higher near scattered to numerous showers and Thunderstorms through the forecast period. Conditions will also remain favorable for isolated waterspouts, especially during the morning and early afternoon hours.

(on/off) Help NOTE: mouseover dotted underlined text for definition| Fxus64 kmob 201442 aab afdmob area forecast discussion... Updated national weather service mobile al 942 am cdt Tue aug 20 2019 Discussion See updated information for land areas below. Update 20.12z upper air analysis shows a trof axis at multiple levels from the appalachians stretching southwest over the central gulf coast. At the surface, a weakly defined pressure trof was draped along the i-65 corridor to over the ms sound this morning where visible satellite imagery animations and radar loops show a cyclonic motion to cloud precipitation elements respectively. Mid-morning meso-analysis shows deepest gulf moisture (pwats 1.8 to 2.2) inches pooling into the trof axis. Highest mixed layer capes ~ 1500 j kg positioned more over the coastal waters initially. Morning fog has been on the decrease and mid morning forecast update will be to remove fog wording in zones. Going into the remainder of the day, with the trof axis in place supporting an enhancement to lift along with more than adequate deep layer moisture, convective coverage is expected to become more numerous. How much the local environment destabilizes will depend on breaks in the overcast and how much morning convection increases. Although, a few storms have the potential of becoming locally strong with brief strong winds and frequent lightning, other concerns, being equal to these impacts, will be locally heavy rain. Forecasters may see a situation where storms move repeatedly over the same areas which may result in some flooding problems over lower lying areas and other mainly urban locations subject to poor drainage. 10 Prev discussion issued 647 am cdt Tue aug 20 2019 discussion... See updated information for land areas below. Update... Patchy fog and low stratus continues to form over inland areas of SW al NW fl and inland SE ms. As a result have updated the current zone forecast mainly to mention patchy fog early this morning. Fog and low clouds should begin to erode by after 9 am this morning. 32 ee prev discussion... Issued 637 am cdt Tue aug 20 2019 discussion... Updated for latest aviation discussion below. Aviation... 12z issuance... Lifr to ifr CIGS and visibilities through about 20.14z followed by MVFR toVFR CIGS through 21.09z followed by possible ifr CIGS and visibilities through 21.12z. Lower CIGS and visibilities mostly in low stratus and patchy fog early this morning possibly reforming again early Wed morning. Lower cigs and visibilities also possible during late morning, afternoon and evening hours mostly in and around scattered to numerous showers and thunderstorms over much of the region. Winds will be light and variable early today becoming mostly southeast to south at 5 to 10 knots through early this evening then light and variable late this evening through 21.12z. 32 ee prev discussion... Issued 449 am cdt Tue aug 20 2019 near term now through Tuesday night ... Persistent upper ridge of high pressure centered over ok this morning continues to stretch east to the north central gulf states with a weak mid to upper trof still located just east of the upper ridge stretching from the western carolinas to the north central gulf south of the nwfl al coast. Near the surface high pressure continues to stretch from the western atlantic to the north central gulf with a weak trof reflecting near the sfc mostly in the vicinity of the upper trof mentioned above. Similar to yesterday deep moisture in the boundary layer continues across the north central gulf coast |
region with pwats ranging from 1.7 inches over western sections of the forecast area inland from the coast to 2.3 inches along coast and over inland areas to the east. Moderate instability is also noted across the region combined with weak to moderate forcing mostly along and on the eastern side of the mid to upper trof. With this pattern expect more rounds of scattered to numerous showers and thunderstorms across the region with the best coverage occurring over coastal sections including the adjacent gulf waters early today slowly shifting inland during the afternoon and evening hours. Gusty straightline winds, frequent cloud to ground lightning along with periods of very heavy rain will accompany the stronger storms, especially during the afternoon and early evening hours. Due to the slow movement of storms along with some training of cells over the same location some minor flooding could become an issue by mid to late afternoon. Will continue to monitor this minor flooding potential closely. Daytime temperatures will continue to be lower compared to last week due to better clouds and coverage of precip along with less subsidence in the boundary layer. Highs today will range from the upper 80s to lower 90s generally over the northern half of the forecast area and the mid to upper 80s to the south including the immediate coast. Lows tonight will be a tad above seasonal norms ranging from the lower to middle 70s inland and the upper 70s to near 80 along the immediate coast. 32 ee short term Wednesday through Thursday night ... An unsettled weather pattern will continue across the area Wednesday through Thursday night, with a moist and unstable low level airmass in place and a weak upper level weakness remaining in place across the southeast us. Pwat's will continue around 1.8" and with daytime differential heating resulting in a destabilizing environment storm coverage increases, becoming scattered to numerous both Wednesday and Thursday afternoons. A drop off in coverage is anticipated over the land zones each night, back to isolated or scattered. The strongest storms will likely bring brief strong wind gusts, frequent lightning and locally heavy rainfall. In any slow moving storms, rainfall rates could be high enough to result in localized flooding in some lower lying and poor drainage areas. Daytime highs in the upper 80s and lower 90s. Overnight lows in the low to mid 70s most locations, upper 70s at the coast. 12 ds long term Friday through Monday ... No notable changes expected in the long term period. Diurnally driven scattered to locally widespread daytime convection will continue, more isolated to scattered during the overnight hours. No changes expected in daily temperature pattern either. 12 ds marine... A light southerly flow will continue over the marine area through the remainder of the week with better winds and seas occurring during the afternoon and early evening hours due to daytime heating. Seas will generally range from 1 to 2 feet out to 60 nm offshore possibly becoming locally higher with some of the stronger thunderstorms throughout much of the week. Frequent lightning strikes and waterspouts will also be possible with some of the heavier showers or thunderstoms through the forecast period. 32 ee Mob watches warnings advisories Al... None. Fl...

It is not checked for accuracy either by anyone at L-36.com or by the source which is typically the US Government. See the NOAA web site for their disclaimer. 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. |
