HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK
Issue Date: 449 AM CST MON DEC 7 2009
Expiration: 600 AM CST TUE DEC 08 2009
THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR PORTIONS OF SOUTH CENTRAL
ALABAMA...SOUTHWEST ALABAMA...THE COASTAL WATERS OF ALABAMA AND
NORTHWEST FLORIDA...NORTHWEST FLORIDA AND SOUTHEAST MISSISSIPPI.
.DAY ONE...TODAY AND TONIGHT
A MODERATE EASTERLY FLOW IS EXPECTED OVER THE OFFSHORE WATERS EARLY
THIS MORNING...DIMINISHING BY LATE MORNING. A MODERATE ONSHORE FLOW
DEVELOPS OVERNIGHT AS A WARM FRONT BEGINS TO MOVE NORTH ACROSS THE
MARINE AREA. SMALL CRAFT ARE ADVISED TO EXERCISE CAUTION.
.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY
A WARM FRONT WILL LIFT NORTH ACROSS THE AREA ON TUESDAY WITH THE
AIRMASS BECOMING INCREASINGLY WARM AND HUMID TO THE SOUTH OF THE
BOUNDARY. A COLD FRONT WILL THEN MOVE ACROSS THE AREA DURING THE DAY
WEDNESDAY. WITH A MUCH WARMER AIRMASS ACROSS THE AREA AND A COLD
FRONT APPROACHING FROM THE WEST...THERE WILL BE A SMALL POTENTIAL
FOR A FEW STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS OVER THE NORTHERN GULF
COAST FROM TUESDAY AFTERNOON INTO EARLY WEDNESDAY. HOWEVER...THE
AMOUNT OF INSTABILITY CURRENTLY APPEARS TO BE LACKING TO SUPPORT A
WIDESPREAD SEVERE WEATHER EVENT. IF ENOUGH INSTABILITY WERE TO
MATERIALIZE... THE STORMS WOULD BE CAPABLE OF PRODUCING DAMAGING
WIND GUSTS OF 60 MPH AND PERHAPS AN ISOLATED TORNADO. STAY TUNED FOR
UPDATES ON THIS DEVELOPING WEATHER SYSTEM AS ANY INCREASE IN
INSTABILITY WILL RESULT IN A MORE SUBSTANTIAL SEVERE WEATHER THREAT.
SMALL CRAFT ADVISORIES WILL LIKELY BE REQUIRED TUESDAY INTO EARLY
WEDNESDAY IN ADVANCE OF THE APPROACHING COLD FRONT AS WINDS BECOME
STRONG OUT OF THE SOUTH AND SOUTHWEST.
.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...
ACTIVATION OF STORM SPOTTERS AND EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT WILL NOT BE
REQUIRED THROUGH TONIGHT. HOWEVER...ACTIVATION MAY BE REQUIRED
TUESDAY AFTERNOON THROUGH WEDNESDAY MORNING.
