654 FXUS64 KMOB 041750 AFDMOB Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Mobile AL 1250 PM CDT Tue Jun 4 2024 ...New AVIATION, NEAR TERM... .AVIATION... (18Z TAFS) Issued at 1250 PM CDT Tue Jun 4 2024 MVFR ceilings along the coastal areas will gradually improve to VFR through mid-afternoon. Chance for precipitation increases inland areas this afternoon into early evening while a few showers closer to the coast end around mid-afternoon. Localized IFR ceilings and visibilities can be expected in and near the stronger showers and storms inland. A few of the storms could bring strong, gusty winds. Surface winds will primarily be southeast to south around 10 knots with gusts to near 20 knots through early evening decreasing to around 5 knots overnight. /22 && .NEAR TERM... (Now through Wednesday) Issued at 434 AM CDT Tue Jun 4 2024 We will continue to see a continuation of a series of impulses/shortwave disturbances moving in a west-northwest flow aloft to aid in the trigger for mainly diurnal convection over the next several days. A few showers and storms, the remnants of one of these disturbances, are moving east across the forecast area during the predawn hours this morning. This activity could last into the morning daytime hours on Tuesday, especially for our eastern and southern counties. Another convective system (associated with the next shortwave feature) has developed over Oklahoma early this morning, and will be the next system to drop east-southeast toward our area today and this evening. CAMs continue to show this MCS CS pushing across the ArkLaTex region this morning, and moving fairly quickly across Louisiana southern Mississippi in the afternoon, with remnants moving into southwest Alabama this evening before dissipating over the area by around midnight or just thereafter during the predawn hours Wednesday. It still appears that deep layer shear will be a bit stronger with this system today, which could bolster a better threat for strong to severe storms this afternoon SPC has a SLIGHT severe threat just to the west of our forecast area for today and tonight, with a MARGINAL severe threat over our western area (west of I-65), so a strong to severe storm or two could be possible this afternoon or evening. Yet another impulse will bring scattered showers and storms to the area again on Wednesday. Highs today will generally be in the upper 80s across most of the area (low to mid 80s at the coast) and then slightly warmer (in the upper 80s to lower 90s inland and mid to upper 80s coastal) on Wednesday. Lows tonight are expected to be in the upper 60s inland and low to mid 70s closer to and along the coast. DS/12 && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
