Issued 451 am cdt Mon aug 19 2019 near term now through Monday night ... Expect better coverage of showers and thunderstorms today and early tonight in response to increased forcing ahead of a mid level impulse diving south on the eastern edge of a persistent upper ridge centered over tx stretching east to the north central gulf coast region. The mid level impulse will track south towards the al nwfl coast early today then eastward towards the south ga late this afternoon and this evening, rounding the base of a weak mid to upper trof stretching from the mid atlantic region to the NE gulf just west of apalachicola fl. Near the surface, high pressure continues to stretch from the western atlantic to the north central gulf with good moisture advection moving inland from new orleans la to destin fl due to a better southwest flow. With this pwats have climbed to near 2.30 inches near the al nwfl coast and 2 to 2.10 inches for most inland areas of the forecast area. Model soundings also depict decent instability across the region with ml capes around 2000 j kg offshore this morning shifting inland by late morning and afternoon. With this pattern expect scattered to numerous showers and thunderstorms forming along the coast and offshore early this morning then slowly shifting inland later this morning through early this evening with the best coverage over coastal areas generally along and south of the i-10 corridor late this morning through early this afternoon spreading inland over western sections of SW al and much of inland SE ms. Gusty straight line winds, frequent cloud to ground lightning and periods of very heavy rain will accompany the stronger storms. Due to training cells in some areas,some flooding will also be possible later today and this evening, especially over coastal and western sections of the forecast area. Due to better clouds and better coverage of showers and thunderstorms today daytime temps will be a tad lower compared to the last few days with highs ranging from the upper 80s to the lower 90s over western and coastal areas and the middle 90s over eastern sections inland from the coast. Lows tonight will be a tad above seasonal norms ranging from the lower to middle 70s inland and the mid to upper 70s along the immediate coast. 32 ee short term Tuesday through Wednesday night ... A weak low to mid level trough axis will continue to extend from the vicinity of the fl panhandle through central portions of ga on Tuesday before this subtle feature perhaps slowly retrogrades westward toward southeast and south central al and the western fl panhandle by Tuesday night. A weak surface trough axis will also continue to extend from portions of southeast ms through interior southwest and south central al on Tuesday. Plentiful deep layer moisture |
will remain in place across our forecast area during the day Tuesday, with precipitable water values ranging between 1.8" and 2.2". This rich moisture will combine with the available afternoon instability, low level convergence along the surface trough and developing seabreeze circulation, as well as additional ascent along the axis of the low to mid level trough to aid in the development of scattered to numerous showers and thunderstorms across the forecast area again during the day Tuesday. We expect the best coverage to be focused near the coast during the morning hours, before numerous showers and storms develop and spread inland through the afternoon hours. Some of the stronger storms that develop may once again be capable of producing brief strong and gusty winds, frequent lightning, and locally heavy rainfall. Scattered showers and storms may linger into Tuesday evening and into the overnight hours, with locally numerous coverage possibly developing near the immediate coast and adjacent offshore waters after midnight. High temperatures Tuesday afternoon are forecast to range from around 90 to the lower 90s inland and in the upper 80s near the coast. Maximum heat indices should range from the upper 90s to around 103 outside of convection. A similarly unsettled weather pattern is expected to continue on Wednesday. A weakness in the mid level flow pattern will continue between ridging aloft over the plains and lower mississippi valley and also over the western atlantic. A weak trough will continue to extend across the north central gulf coast region between these features. The deeply moist airmass remains over the area with precipitable water values up to a little over 2". We therefore expect another round of scattered to numerous showers and thunderstorms to develop over the area again Wednesday, again some with locally heavy rainfall, frequent lightning, and brief strong and gusty winds. The latest forecast storm total rainfall through Wednesday night generally ranges from 1 to 3 inches, especially across the southern two thirds of the area. Some very localized double these amounts will be possible where training cells occur, so we will continue to monitor the potential for localized flooding in urban and low lying areas through Wednesday night. Highs on Wednesday will once again range from around 90 to the lower 90s inland, with upper 80s generally expected along the immediate coast. Maximum heat indices continue to range from the upper 90s to around 103 outside of storms. 21 long term Thursday through Sunday ... The moist and unsettled weather pattern will persist late this week and into the upcoming weekend. Deep layer moisture will stay in place across the north central gulf coast region with pwats around or perhaps a little higher than 2" each day. Subtle shortwave impulses continue in the flow aloft late this week, with another upper trough or low potentially developing near the gulf coast this weekend will support keeping likely pops in the forecast during the daytime hours each day through Sunday. Little daily change in temperatures is expected with highs each day ranging in the upper 80s to lower 90s, and typical lows in the 70s each night. 21 marine... A moderate southwest wind flow will persist over the marine area through early tonight followed by a light to moderate south to southwest flow through the remainder of the week as a broad surface ridge of high pressure continues to stretch from the western atlantic to the north central gulf. Seas will range from 3 to 4 feet through tonight then subside to 1 to 2 feet for the remainder of the week. Winds and seas will be higher near scattered to numerous showers and thunderstorms through much of the week. 32 ee Mob watches warnings advisories Al...

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. |
