Many thanks to a user for reporting an error on one of the Edit pages. The switch to PHP 7.2 caused many pages that previously worked to quit working. I fixed many but I still depend on users to report ones I missed. Please report errors HERE or send an email to me at L-36.com. Allen |

GMZ600 Synopsis For Pascagoula Ms To Okaloosa Walton County Line Fl Out 60 Nm Including Major Area Bays And Sounds- 1012 Am Cdt Tue Sep 17 2019
Synopsis..A weak surface ridge of high pressure will prevail over the north central gulf of mexico through Wednesday night. A light north to northwest flow late at night and in the morning will become light to occasionally moderate southwest in the afternoon and evening today through Wednesday night. A strong surface ridge of high pressure will build from the eastern and southeastern states and into the northeastern gulf of mexico Thursday through the weekend. This pattern will result in a moderate to occasionally strong easterly flow and building seas across the marine area late this week and into much of the weekend.

Updated national weather service mobile al 121 pm cdt Tue sep 17 2019 Discussion See updated information for land areas and aviation discussion below. Update Did a quick update to the current zone forecast mainly to add slight chance or isolated pops, generally along the i-10 corridor and further inland over inland SE ms, developing along a seabreeze front advancing inland over lower portions of our forecast area later this afternoon. Little to no measurable rain is expected. Higher than normal temps and heat index values ranging from 99 to 105 degrees f are still expected. No advisories are anticipated. 32 ee Aviation 18z issuance...VFR conditions through 18.18z. A few low clouds combined with scattered high clouds will be possible this afternoon along with a few isolated showers or thunderstorms generally along a developing seabreeze circulation just north of the coast later this afternoon. Winds will become mostly southwest at 5 to 10 knots later this afternoon becoming light and variable later this evening and overnight continuing through midday wed. 32 ee Prev discussion issued 642 am cdt Tue sep 17 2019 discussion... Updated for latest aviation discussion below. Aviation... 12z issuance...VFR is expected to prevail across the region through the next 24 hours. An isolated shra or tsra will be possible this afternoon, but probabilities are very low and have not included mention in the local tafs. Light northwest to north winds will generally continue today, except becoming southwest 5-10 knots over southern portions of our area along a seabreeze this afternoon. 21 prev discussion... Issued 440 am cdt Tue sep 17 2019 near term now through Tuesday night ... A mid to upper level ridge of high pressure will extend from the lower mississippi valley to the great lakes region today, while a broad low pressure system slowly drifts across the northwestern gulf of mexico near the southeast tx coast. Most of our forecast area will remain under the influence of the building mid to upper level ridge today, with associated subsidence and rather low precipitable water values between 1.2 and 1.4 inches. We will keep a mostly sunny and dry forecast intact across most inland areas today. The exception could be across southern portions of southeast ms and far southwest al, where low level convergence along a developing seabreeze, higher precipitable water values between 1.6 and 1.9 inches and associated higher instability may result in the development of a few isolated |
showers and thunderstorms this afternoon. We will opt to include a 15-20% pop in the forecast generally southwest of a janice, ms to mobile, al line this afternoon. The heat will otherwise persist across the area today with high temperatures forecast to range in the mid to upper 90s, with a few locations reaching around 100 degrees. These readings could approach record levels (record high temperatures for today include 100 degrees at kmob set in 1927 and 97 at kpns set in 1991). Mostly clear and dry conditions are anticipated tonight with lows around 70 degrees to the lower 70s inland, and in the mid to upper 70s near the coast and beaches. 21 short term Wednesday through Thursday night ... An upper ridge will remain in place through the period. This will bring another day of hot and dry weather to the area on Wednesday with temps in the upper 90s to near 100. The sfc ridge builds across the mid- atlantic coast into the southeast during the latter half of the week. This will bring an easterly flow to the area as a back- door cold front moves through the area on Thursday and brings a slight decrease to the hot temps. This feature will also produce isolated to scattered showers and storms to the area on Thursday. Long term Friday through Monday ... Deep layer ridging continues across the area through Saturday before flattening out somewhat Sunday into Monday as an upper trough moves across the great lakes region. An associated weak front will approach the tennessee valley but stall north and west of there due to the ridge over the southeast. Therefore rain chances remain low through the period outside of small chances near the coast and offshore. Temperatures remain in the low to mid 90s each afternoon. 13 marine...

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. |
