033 FXUS64 KMOB 301957 AFDMOB Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Mobile AL 257 PM CDT Sun Jun 30 2024 ...New AVIATION, NEAR TERM... .AVIATION... (00Z TAFS) Issued at 257 PM CDT Sun Jun 30 2024 VFR conditions should generally prevail for the next 24 hours. Some brief and localized MVFR/IFR conditions could prevail near the showers and storms today and this evening, and again during the day on Monday. Light southwest to westerly winds this afternoon, becoming more variable this evening and then light northwesterly late tonight and Monday. DS/12 && .NEAR TERM... (Now through Monday) Issued at 257 PM CDT Sun Jun 30 2024 An upper level ridge will remain centered west of the area through Monday. This will maintain a generally northerly flow pattern aloft. The combination of weak shortwaves rotating around this ridge, daytime heating and the seabreeze circulation has resulted in scattered to locally numerous showers and thunderstorms today, and much the same is expected on Monday. The storms will be most numerous near the coast each morning and then over inland areas through the afternoon hours and into the early evening hours, gradually dissipating by late the evening hours. After peaking in the mid 90s (and with Heat Index values reaching upwards of 110 degrees) earlier today, temperatures have now dropped somewhat across the region this afternoon with the rain cooled air. Dewpoints are still expected to be in the mid to upper 70s on MOnday, so before the more widespread rains develop we will again be looking at heat indices to likely peaking in the 108-110 degree range again tomorrow, at least for a period of time. As a result, another Heat Advisory will be necessary on Monday. A high risk of rip currents remains in effect today followed by moderate on Monday into mid week.
