Updated national weather service mobile al 1146 pm cdt Sun aug 25 2019 Discussion Updated for latest aviation discussion below. Aviation 06z issuance... General upper end MVFR toVFR conditions were noted across the area during the late evening, with localized low end MVFR to ifr conditions in scattered rain showers and a few thunderstorms. Coverage and intensity will decrease in intensity and some-what in coverage through the overnight hours, though local drops in CIGS and visbys to low end MVFR or ifr levels remain possible in the continued convection. Winds will remain generally out of the south at around 5 knots, a bit stronger and variable closer to the coast. Monday, coverage and intensity of convection will increase as a mid level shortwave moves closer to the forecast area from the west. Conditions are expected to remain at upper end MVFR or higher outside of convection, though mid to low end MVFR conditions remain likely in and near the convection. Coverage and intensity is expected to be great strong enough to impact operations at times. Winds will be out of the south around 10 knots. 16 Prev discussion issued 1018 pm cdt Sun aug 25 2019 discussion... See updated information for land areas below. Update... The forecast was generally in good shape, and only minor adjustments were made to trend pops upward overnight. Deep tropical moisture will continue to be drawn northeastward toward southeast ms and southwest al overnight as an upper level trough translates east of the mississippi valley region. Showers and a few thunderstorms will continue to develop over the region overnight, and have increased pops a bit from the previous forecast (60-80% range). We will continue to monitor for heavy rainfall and a limited potential of flash flooding, especially going into the day Monday as the trough approaches and deep tropical moisture continues to stream over the region. 21 prev discussion...

General MVFR toVFR conditions were noted across the area outside of scattered shra tsra just before 00z. The convection is expected to continue well into the overnight hours slowly decreasing on coverage and strengthen. General MVFR or higher conditions expected. Southerly winds of 5 to 10 knots are expected in the overnight hours. An upper system approaching from the west will bring an increase in coverage and strength of convection to the area Monday morning into the afternoon. Low to mid range MVFR conditions will start the day and increase to upper end MVFRVFR. Low to mid range MVFR conditions are expected in the convection, with impacts to operations possible during Monday. Southerly winds around 10 knots are expected. 16 prev discussion... Issued 405 pm cdt Sun aug 25 2019 near term now through Monday ... Now through this evening ongoing showers with isolated heavy rainfall will linger into the overnight hours with gradually increasing coverage after mid night. Upper level trough axis extending from the southern minnesota to central louisiana pivots eastward during the near term and will act as the main lifting mechanism for widespread rainfall throughout the day Monday. Wpc has southern alabama and southeast mississippi outlooked with a slight risk for excessive rainfall. What provides the liquid necessary for the heavy rain is an area of deep tropical moisture over the northern gulf of mexico. This slowly drifts onshore overnight tonight into Monday morning aided by a 50kt jet streak over arkansas. This region of disorganized tropical rainfall is quite saturated with precipitable water values of 2.20 to 2.50 inches. This is well above the 90% moving average for sounding climatology and as a result showers within this environment will likely have rain rates greater than 0.30 to 1.00 per hour with isolate storms of higher rainfall rates possible. By Monday morning heavy rain should begin to enter our southeastern mississippi counties then gradually expand north eastward throughout the day. The axis of heaviest |
rainfall is expected to remain over southeastern mississippi with totals around 2.00 to 4.00 inches while the rest of our forecast area will likely see rainfall totals greater than 1.00 inch. Though the majority of the convection is expected to be rather disorganized, if rainfall coalesces into a line of training storms some flash flooding along flashy creek and in areas of poor drainage will be possible. Otherwise expect localized street flooding and ponding of water in low line areas. Severe potential in this environment remains low as the wind profile will be lacking in the needed shear. However, CAPE values ranging from 1500-2500 j kg will provided enough energy for some strong thunderstorms embedded within the widespread rain. Temperatures during the day should only be able to reach the mid 80s as rainfall is expected to regulate afternoon highs. Dj 17 short term Monday night through Wednesday night ... Shower and thunderstorm coverage decreases becoming more scattered across the alabama and florida portions of the forecast area and generally isolated over SE mississippi. The mid upper level trough will linger over the area overnight helping to keep convection going on outflow boundaries that developed during the afternoon hours. Overnight lows will range from the low to mid 70s inland to mid to upper 70s near the coast. Scattered to numerous showers and thunderstorms develop across the area on Tuesday as the upper level trough lingers over the area and the pbl heats up increasing instability area wide. Daytime highs Tuesday are expected to climb into the upper 80s to around 90. Convection gradually dissipates overnight as the upper trough over the area lifts out. Upstream another shortwave trough digging southeast across the midwestern states drives an approaching cold front into the central al, ms area. Overnight lows Tuesday night are expected to range from the low to mid 70s over interior counties and mid to upper 70s near the coast. The approaching cold front pushes southward across the area Wednesday and moves out over the gulf Wednesday night. Scattered showers and thunderstorms develop during the day along and ahead of this boundary shifting south over the marine area during the evening hours. A drier, northerly flow will follow in the wake of this system. Cooler overnight lows anticipated Wednesday night, falling into the mid 60s to near 70 over northern inland locations and low to mid 70s closer to the coast. 08 long term Thursday through Sunday ... Drier air will filter into the area in the post frontal airmass. Dry conditions are forecast through Friday as low and mid level high pressure suppresses convection. Afternoon convection develops again on Saturday and Sunday as a moist low level return flow develops and minor shortwaves aloft propagate across the region. Lacking extensive afternoon convection and widespread cloud cover afternoon high temperatures should climb to near 90 to the mid 90s each day. Overnight lows Thursday night and Friday night will be pleasant falling into the low to mid 60s over northern interior sites to mid 60s to near 70 closer to the coast. Overnight lows Saturday night warm more consistent with climatological norms as the onshore flow develops. 08 marine... Numerous showers and isolated thunderstorms will be possible Monday. Light to moderate onshore flow begins as storms form over the western marine zones then shift eastward into the evening. Isolated to scatter showers continue through mid week. Late Wednesday a cold front passes through the marine areas causing winds to strengthen and become northerly. Waves increase to around 2 to 3 feet mid through late in the week beneath the frontal passage but gradually relax. Next weekend, additional showers and thunderstorms with increased seas will be possible. Dj 17 Mob watches warnings advisories Al... None. Fl... None. Ms... None. Gm... None.

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.
