066 FXUS64 KMOB 141729 AFDMOB Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Mobile AL 1129 AM CST Fri Nov 14 2025 ...New AVIATION... .KEY MESSAGES... Updated at 1125 AM CST Fri Nov 14 2025 - Patchy fog continues to develop this morning and this trend will continue area-wide through the pre-dawn hours. Another round of patchy fog is possible late Friday night into the early morning on Saturday. && .DISCUSSION... Issued at 108 AM CST Fri Nov 14 2025 Another mild overnight period is on tap with lows settling into the mid to low 40s inland with low 50s closer to the coast. The forecast remains on track with only a few tweaks to the afternoon dewpoints for today. Patchy fog is looking likely in the pre-dawn hours given that we have another round of light winds and clear skies. Visibility has already fallen to near 1 mile in a few spots near the coast as of 07z and this trend of lowering visibilities will continue area-wide over the next several hours. The forecast remains rain-free through Tuesday and potentially Wednesday. Weak ridging aloft continues to nose into our area from the west through early in the weekend before flattening out somewhat as a system slides across the Great Lakes region. Flow aloft remains relatively zonal Sunday through Tuesday. The pattern aloft becomes more amplified by mid-week as a potent trough swings across the western CONUS behind a series of shortwaves. Given all the feature interactions aloft, there remains a bit of a spread in the guidance with respect to the timing of when the trough lifts eastward. That said, we are looking at increasing chances for showers and storms as we later into the week (Friday and beyond). Beach Forecast - Rip current risk remains LOW through mid week in this pattern. The rip current MOS probabilities indicate that the risk may briefly increase to near MODERATE levels by late Sunday afternoon across the Florida panhandle beaches. 07/mb && .AVIATION... (18Z TAFS) Issued at 1125 AM CST Fri Nov 14 2025 VFR flight category prevails for the rest of the day into early this evening. MVFR to IFR ceilings and visibility may develop late evening into the early overnight as patches of fog, locally dense, begin to develop across the southern half of the area. Patchy to areas of dense fog materialize as we head through the rest of the overnight into daybreak Saturday, likely resulting in IFR to VLIFR ceilings and visibilities in spots, particularly across coastal counties. Fog gradually lifts in the hours following daybreak, and VFR flight category will once again prevail across the region by mid to late morning. Winds will remain generally light and variable today, calming tonight. MM/25 && .MARINE... Issued at 108 AM CST Fri Nov 14 2025 No impacts expected through early next week. Onshore flow may approach advisory levels late in the week. 07/mb && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
