(on/off) Help NOTE: mouseover dotted underlined text for definition| Fxus64 kmob 230951 afdmob area forecast discussion national weather service mobile al 451 am cdt Fri aug 23 2019 Near term now through Friday night Weak mid upper ridging over the area today will weaken further tonight as it will be influenced by two developing mid upper level low pressure areas, one over the western gulf and the other over the bahamas. At the surface, weak high pressure continues along the gulf coast and over the eastern gulf of mexico, while a weak trof or frontal boundary continues well north of the area over extreme northern alabama and tennessee. Deeper layer moisture will continue to be pooled south of the surface boundary, with pwats in the 1.9 to 2.2 inch range through the near term. The moist atmosphere, when combined with daytime heating and instability, will continue to support a diurnal convective pattern with mostly afternoon and evening showers and storms. A few storms could be briefly strong this afternoon, but the more likely threat will be localized heavy rainfall. Highs today expected to be in the upper 80s and lower 90s. Lows tonight in the lower 70s most areas except along the coast where mid to upper 70s are expected. 12 ds Short term Saturday through Sunday night The base of an upper trof is in place over the deep south Saturday with a slightly sharper presentation of the trof evolving on Sunday. Deepest gulf moisture streams north and eastward out of the western gulf up into the southeast through the weekend. Considering moisture availability, daily instability, mid-level impulses and interactions of convective outflow boundaries in the mesoscale favor scattered to perhaps numerous convective coverages each day. Storms could be strong at times, producing brief strong wind gusts, frequent lightning and locally heavy rains which can fall over a short time span. At the surface, a weak pressure pattern results in light winds which take on a southerly direction each day, especially closer to the coast. Daily highs range from the upper 80s to lower 90s. Highest heat indices near 105 closer to area rivers. Overnight lows in the 70s. 10 |
Long term Monday through Thursday Upper trof axis from the upper mid-west southward to the central gulf coast Monday morning eases eastward over the southeast us by the middle of the week allowing for a slow southward advance of a frontal boundary. With respect to deep moisture, pwats range from 1.8 to 2.1 inches over the local area. See no reason to deviate from modest daily pops through the mid-week time frame. By Thursday, the 23.00z ecmwf suggests a drier deep layer environment will overspread the area while the GFS continues to remain unsettled. Considering these differences, will maintain lower end chance of showers and storms Thursday. 10 Marine A light and predominately onshore wind flow will continue today and tonight, becoming more variable and at times light offshore over the weekend before becoming mostly light to moderate onshore again by early next week. Seas will range between one and two feet outside of scattered late night and early morning shower and thunderstorm activity. 12 ds Preliminary point temps pops Mobile 89 74 90 73 91 73 88 74 60 30 60 30 50 50 70 40 pensacola 88 76 90 75 91 75 88 76 60 20 50 30 40 40 60 50 destin 87 78 89 77 88 78 87 77 50 20 40 40 40 50 60 50 evergreen 91 73 92 72 93 73 89 72 60 20 60 40 60 50 70 30 waynesboro 90 73 89 70 89 70 87 71 60 30 60 40 70 50 70 30 camden 92 74 90 72 90 72 87 72 50 20 60 40 60 50 70 30 crestview 90 73 92 72 91 72 88 72 50 20 60 40 60 50 70 40 Mob watches warnings advisories Al...

These are not intended to be fact, they are my opinions. 4) Small programs that generate result presented on a web page. Like any computer program, these may and in some cases do have errors. Almost all of these also make simplifying assumptions so they are not totally accurate even if there are no errors. Please verify all results. 5) Weather information is from numerious of sources and is presented automatically. 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. |
