758 FXUS64 KMOB 020507 AFDMOB Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Mobile AL 1207 AM CDT Sun Nov 2 2025 ...New DISCUSSION, AVIATION, MARINE... .KEY MESSAGES... Updated at 1200 AM CDT Sun Nov 2 2025 - A Small Craft Advisory may become necessary for the open Gulf waters late Sunday night into Monday morning. -Patchy frost will be possible well inland late Sunday night into early Monday morning. && .DISCUSSION... Issued at 1200 AM CDT Sun Nov 2 2025 Now through Saturday... A closed upper low sweeps east over the Southeast through the weekend into the coming week, with a piece of shortwave energy swinging around the base of this low, over the Gulf. A reinforcing front moves over the Southeast later tonight through Sunday in response, with a drier airmass (and precipitable h20 values around 0.2"-0.3") moving over the forecast area by Monday morning. A decently dry airmass ahead of the coming front (precipitable h20 values less than 1.0") will help to limit precipitation over land areas and most water areas of the forecast area. The great majority of the guidance is dry later today into tonight. The exception is the latest SREF painting isolated rainshowers along the eastern border of the forecast area. Previous runs of the models painted more rainshowers over the forecast area with the passing front, but there has been a trend of shifting the rainshowers well east of the forecast area the last few runs. Will continue this trend with the current package. Patchy frost is a possibility later tonight into Monday morning, mainly north of Highway 84, and in localities where winds drop to near calm. Monday on, upper level high pressure centered over Texas shifts east over the northern Gulf coast, then a bit south over the Gulf proper. Surface high pressure shifts east over the Southeast before stalling into mid week, with northerly flow becoming southerly by the end of the week. The flow is light, so moisture return is slow. The result is a dry forecast, with temperatures warming to well above seasonal norms. Taking a closer look at temperatures, seasonable high temperatures today drop to below seasonal 65-70 for Monday. From there, high temperatures rise to a well above seasonal upper 70s to around 80 by Saturday. Low temperatures in the mid/upper 30s north of Highway 84 to upper 40s south of I-10 Sunday and Monday nights rise into the mid 50s to around 60 by Friday night. Offshore winds will counter-balance an increasing tidal cycle to keep the risk of rip currents low into the middle of the coming week. /16 && .AVIATION...
