AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MOBILE AL
338 PM CDT FRI AUG 5 2005
.SHORT TERM (TONIGHT THROUGH MONDAY)...THE UPPER LEVEL WEAK TROF LOCATED OVER THE FORECAST AREA LINGERS GENERALLY IN PLACE THROUGH SATURDAY. A NORTHERN STREAM SHORTWAVE OVER THE EASTERN PLAINS MOVES SOUTHEASTWARD AND PHASES WITH THE TROF OVER THE AREA ON SUNDAY. A SURFACE TROF...ALONG WITH A LOW JUST ALOFT...WILL LIKEWISE MEANDER OVER THE FORECAST AREA THROUGH SUNDAY...PROMOTING HIGH POPS MAINLY OVER THE EASTERN AND COASTAL PORTIONS OF THE FORECAST AREA ON SATURDAY...THEN ACROSS THE AREA ON SUNDAY. THE BERMUDA RIDGE BEGINS TO STRENGTHEN MEANWHILE...AND BUILDS WESTWARD ACROSS THE REGION THROUGH MONDAY WITH THE UPPER TROF SHIFTING TO OVER THE LOWER MISSISSIPPI RIVER VALLEY. THE SURFACE TROF SHIFTS WESTWARD IN TANDEM AND SURFACE RIDGING BUILDING OVER THE NORTHERN GULF WILL PROMOTE A MORE CONVENTIONAL SUMMERTIME CONVECTIVE PATTERN. DAYTIME TEMPERATURES WILL CONTINUE TO BE A FEW DEGREES BELOW SEASONABLE LEVELS. /29
It seems the low is going to move westward in response to the high moving back in. So, the low could still be hanging out in the west Gulf next week.

NHC has spoken and to those who said nothing was there.
So it gives us something to look at this weekend instead of
waiting for something to travel thousands of miles across the Atlantic.

I strongly encourage reading the Alicia report to anyone concerned with this potential system.

A few less than it takes to build a bonfire maybe?
*doh*
Anyway, we've been watching this area since last Saturday as a surface trof has been draped 60 miles either side of the Gulf Coast. Surface lows have formed and existed short-term between south of Morgan City and south of Pensacola almost every day. Today's is due south of the AL/FL line and shows up @ 1017mb @ 1pm CDT.

Yeah Steve, been watching it since then too, actually since Thursday a week ago, but something tells me this low may be different. That quickscat is the tightest one all week.

What do you mean something to look at this weekend? I've been waiting to see something since Bastardi mentioned the setup last Wed. or Thurs. About the only thing I've seen has been rain almost every day.
But yeah, for those who said nothing was there, they probably don't live in the area anyway

Anytime! I try to relate to storms in similar positions/areas because in this season of whacked out climatology, we're all going to have to dig for information just to determine possibilities for how/when/where storms will develop, strengthen and go.

I completely agree with you there! The old "'I' storms usually do this" kinds of rules don't hold water this year...I think NHC said it best themselves during Emily about climo. not mattering this year..who was it Lawrence I think??

It almost looks like it is already inland, slightly north of Pensacola on radar.

If you'd click on the link in my posting up a few about the 1943 storm, you'd see why it's something to watch.....

Doubt anything will develop unless another weak low forms S of LA Coast over the next few days.
Here is the Accu-Weather blurb:
Currently, a weak upper-level low is situated over southern Mississippi-southern Alabama. There are indications that a surface circulation is trying to develop. Every once in a while, these types of systems can develop into something more significant. It is an area to watch over the next few days.
