281 FXUS64 KMOB 262059 AFDMOB Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Mobile AL 359 PM CDT Sat Apr 26 2025 ...New Discussion, Marine... .DISCUSSION... Issued at 314 PM CDT Sat Apr 26 2025 Tonight through Sunday Night... Upper level heights will gradually increase slightly over our area through Sunday night as an upper ridge becomes more defined over the southern plains states and builds eastward across the central Gulf coast. This will maintain mostly dry conditions as increasing subsidence prevents more than just isolated showers and perhaps a stray thunderstorm or two across the area. Any isolated convection that develops will be during the afternoon hours on Sunday in association with peak heating inland and weak sea breeze interactions closer to the coast. Basically a summer-type pattern will be in place across the region. Patchy to areas of fog will likely develop across the area tonight (and probably Sunday night as well). The fog could potentially be dense in some locations. Will likely need another Dense Fog Advisory across portions of the forecast area again tonight, but it is difficult to pinpoint exactly what locations this will occur, so will let the evening and midnight shift monitor trends and make final call on where the Advisory may be necessary. The fog will dissipate by around 9am Sunday morning. Temperatures will continue to run above normal with overnight lows ranging from the low 60s inland to mid/upper 60s near the coast (and a few lower 70s possible for the barrier islands) both tonight and Sunday night. Highs on Sunday mainly in the upper 80s to near 90 for all inland locations, but mid 80s closer to the coast and even lower 80s along the immediate beaches. A moderate risk of rip currents tonight becomes low on Sunday. DS/12 Monday through Saturday... An upper ridge pivots eastward over the southeast states through Wednesday, leading to dry and continued well above normal temperatures. The influence of the ridge lessens its grip the second half of the work week as it shifts east off the southeast US coast. Meanwhile, an upper level storm system approaches the lower MS River Valley Thursday. With this feature`s eastward advance, an attendant cold front settles to the coast by later in the day Friday. An increase in cloud cover and rain chances expected Thursday and Friday. The front pushes south Saturday and brings a return to drier weather. /10 && .MARINE... Issued at 314 PM CDT Sat Apr 26 2025 A generally light and somewhat diurnal flow will persist through Monday with a light offshore flow developing at night and a light onshore flow developing during the day. A more consistent light to occasionally moderate primarily onshore flow will develop Tuesday and continue into mid to late week. DS/12 && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
