016 FXUS64 KMOB 241728 AFDMOB Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Mobile AL 1228 PM CDT Fri May 24 2024 ...New AVIATION, NEAR TERM... .AVIATION... (18Z TAFS) Issued at 1208 PM CDT Fri May 24 2024 General VFR conditions are expected this afternoon and into the evening hours. Scattered diurnal cumulus clouds have developed across the area with bases between 2500-4500 ft. Cannot rule out brief instances of broken ceilings in this range this afternoon. There is also a small chance for thunderstorms across far inland SE MS/SW AL and south central AL that could linger into the early evening hours. Convection is not expected at the coastal TAF locations. MVFR cigs are likely to develop overnight into early Saturday morning. Ensemble guidance does show some probabilities for IFR cigs, but confidence is not high enough to include at the terminals for now. There may also be some patchy MVFR/IFR fog across the area early Saturday morning. Winds will remain out of the south and southwest, gusting to 15-20 kt at times this afternoon. 34/JFB && .MOB WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... AL...None. FL...None. MS...None.
