502 FXUS64 KMOB 151742 AFDMOB Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Mobile AL 1241 PM CDT Thu Aug 15 2024 ...New AVIATION, NEAR TERM... .AVIATION... (18Z TAFS) Issued at 1241 PM CDT Thu Aug 15 2024 VFR conditions will continue through the period with the exception of reduced ceilings and visibilities in and around any convection this afternoon. Scattered showers and storms are beginning to develop across the area and will linger into the early evening hours before dissipating. Light southeasterly winds are generally anticipated through the period. /14 && .NEAR TERM... (Now through Friday) Issued at 1241 PM CDT Thu Aug 15 2024 Clear and calm conditions persist across the area early this morning, with relatively mild temperatures expected for the predawn hours. Upper ridging will generally remain in place through the near term period, retreating just a bit to the west today. This will keep temps from climbing into the triple digits like we observed yesterday. That said, though the air temperature may not be as hot as yesterday, humid conditions will continue and heat indices will climb into the triple digits once again this afternoon. Weaknesses in the ridge, combined with an abundance of moisture, will enhance any diurnally driven thunderstorms that are able to initiate along the seabreeze and any lingering surface boundaries. Coverage will be scattered and any storms that are able to develop will produce locally heavy rainfall and gusty winds. Similar conditions are expected for tonight, as high pressure maintains its hold on the weather pattern. Temperatures will be mild once again during the overnight hours, with clearing skies and temps falling into the lower 70s across our northern areas to the upper 70s along the coast. /73 && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
