789 FXUS64 KMOB 231146 AFDMOB Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Mobile AL 546 AM CST Sun Nov 23 2025 ...New AVIATION... .KEY MESSAGES... Updated at 543 AM CST Sun Nov 23 2025 - Some strong to potentially severe storms are possible Tuesday afternoon into Tuesday evening near and west of the I-65 corridor. - A Small Craft Advisory may become necessary for much of the marine area Wednesday night through Thursday morning, potentially lingering into late week in the nearshore waters. - A Moderate rip current risk exists for local beaches Tuesday and Wednesday. && .DISCUSSION... Issued at 1200 AM CST Sun Nov 23 2025 A cold front presently moving across the area gradually ushers in a drier forecast as we head into the rest of the day today through Monday. Despite the cold front moving through, we will continue to maintain above normal highs and lows across the area with temperatures topping out in the middle to upper 70`s and overnight lows in the upper 40`s to lower 50`s for most locations tonight. We begin a warm advection regime Monday with lows Monday night becoming well above normal in the lower to middle 60`s. As we head into Tuesday and Wednesday an upper trough begins to approach the region bringing unsettled weather once again to the area. Scattered to numerous showers and thunderstorms can be expected, particularly Tuesday afternoon into Tuesday night. A few lingering showers and storms are possible Wednesday generally near and east of the I-65 corridor. While exact details continue to vary on the exact track of the leading shortwave Tuesday afternoon into Tuesday evening, there still appears to be some signal that at least areas near and west of the I-65 corridor could see a low end threat for strong to severe thunderstorms. Adequate CAPE and shear should be present for organized thunderstorms, however the magnitude of forcing is the biggest question mark at this point in time precluding much confidence in the severe weather potential. Regardless, temperatures will remain well above normal for Tuesday into Wednesday with highs in the middle to upper 70`s Tuesday and lower to middle 70`s Wednesday. A strong cold front pushes across the area Wednesday bringing with it a substantially colder and drier airmass. This front should knock daytime highs down into the lower to middle 60`s Thursday into Friday, with overnight lows dipping well below normal into the upper 30`s and lower 40`s Wednesday night and lower to middle 30`s Thursday night. Late week into the weekend looks to shift back to a warm advection regime bringing warmer, moister air into the area ahead of our next weather system late weekend into the following week. A low risk of rip currents continues through Monday night before becoming a Moderate risk Tuesday into Wednesday. MM/25 && .AVIATION... (12Z TAFS) Issued at 543 AM CST Sun Nov 23 2025 A mixed bag of conditions this morning as a cold front moves across the area from west to east. Areas mainly east of I-65 and north of I-10 are dealing with LIFR to IFR ceilings and visbys as low ceilings and patchy fog has developed ahead of the front. VFR conditions exist elsewhere, especially behind the front where skies will quickly clear. Expect VFR conditions to return to the area by mid-morning with a light north wind. Winds will relax tonight and some patchy fog may develop across interior areas of south-central Alabama leading to reduced visibilities. BB-8 && .MARINE... Issued at 1200 AM CST Sun Nov 23 2025 Winds shift northwesterly to northerly this morning in the wake of a cold front. A southeasterly flow develops on Monday and becomes southerly on Tuesday. Winds shift out of the northwest to north on Wednesday as a cold front moves through with a moderate to strong offshore flow for Wednesday night through Friday. A Small Craft advisory may be needed for much of the marine waters Wednesday night into Thursday morning, with nearshore waters potentially continuing to experience exercise caution to low end advisory criteria winds through late week into the weekend.
