712 FXUS64 KMOB 131733 AFDMOB Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Mobile AL 1133 AM CST Thu Nov 13 2025 ...New AVIATION... .KEY MESSAGES... Updated at 1133 AM CST Thu Nov 13 2025 - Patchy fog may develop late tonight and Friday night mainly across interior areas. && .DISCUSSION... Issued at 1048 AM CST Thu Nov 13 2025 Through Saturday night, a large and broad upper ridge advances across the central CONUS then dampens out as a large upper trof swings across the northern Plains and into the interior eastern states. An eastern states surface ridge shifts across the forecast area and becomes oriented over the northern Gulf through Saturday which allows for a light southerly flow to become established over the forecast area. Patchy fog development will be possible mainly over the interior areas tonight and Friday night as winds become calm with a mostly open radiative channel. The upper trof mostly moves off into the western Atlantic through Monday, and a surface low passing well off to the north meanwhile brings a weak cold front into central MS/AL on Sunday, potentially progressing into the forecast area. Deep layer moisture looks to remain too limited through Sunday to support pops and have continued with a dry forecast despite the potential for the frontal boundary to move into the area. A surface low is anticipated to develop over the central Plains on Monday in response to a shortwave trof. The weak frontal boundary over central MS/AL (potentially over the forecast area) meanwhile lifts northward to roughly across Tennessee, with the shortwave trof weakening while progressing across the interior eastern states through Tuesday morning. The surface low looks to dissipate with the weakening of the shortwave trof, and have continued with a dry forecast for Monday and Tuesday as the weak boundary lifts north of the area. A large upper trof advances across the western states going into Wednesday then looks to partially eject across the central states on Thursday, with an accompanying surface low. Dry conditions prevail over the area on Wednesday except for a slight chance for rain over the westernmost portion, then for Thursday will have slight chance to chance pops as the Plains system may bring a frontal boundary to near the lower Mississippi River valley. A low risk of rip currents is expected through Tuesday. Lows tonight range from the mid/upper 40s inland to the lower 50s closer to the coast. Lows Friday night may be a bit cooler, then Saturday night and Sunday night will be milder with lows ranging from the lower 50s inland to near 60 at the coast. Temperatures continue to moderate going into Tuesday night when lows range from the mid/upper 50s well inland to the lower 60s closer to the coast. Lows Wednesday night will be similar. Highs on Friday will be in the mid to upper 70s then slowly trend to the upper 70s to lower 80s for Tuesday and Wednesday. Highs on Thursday will be 75 to 80. /29 && .AVIATION...
