965 FXUS64 KMOB 161748 AFDMOB Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Mobile AL 1248 PM CDT Wed Apr 16 2025 ...New Aviation... .DISCUSSION... Issued at 158 AM CDT Wed Apr 16 2025 Surface high pressure will settle into the region today as upper ridging slides eastward through the Plains. This will keep mostly clear conditions across the forecast area, with highs warming into the mid to upper 70s this afternoon. Overnight lows will be a bit cool once again tonight, as clear skies and calm winds aid in radiational cooling. Thus, expect lows to fall into the 40s by daybreak on Thursday. The remainder of the forecast period will be much like today, with high pressure maintaining its hold on the sensible weather pattern. Temps will moderate over the next couple of days, with highs in the upper 70s to lower 80s and overnight lows in the 50s. Temps will approach 90 degrees over the weekend, as the upper ridge moves over the forecast area. Given drier air in place, no heat related concerns are anticipated. Rain chances will increase Sunday night and Monday, as a trough swings into the Mississippi Valley. There`s slightly better agreement among the guidance in terms of the evolution of the trough, which looks to eject to the northeast and well north of the area. The trough will help push a cold front through the forecast area, though there are uncertainties with the timing of this front. For now, will keep chance pops in for Monday through Tuesday. /73 && .AVIATION... (18Z TAFS) Issued at 1248 PM CDT Wed Apr 16 2025 VFR conditions will prevail through the next 24 hours.
