246 FXUS64 KMOB 201834 AFDMOB Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Mobile AL 134 PM CDT Mon May 20 2024 ...New AVIATION, NEAR TERM... .AVIATION... (18Z TAFS) Issued at 134 PM CDT Mon May 20 2024 VFR conditions prevail for the next 24 hours with the exception of some localized patchy fog late tonight across the area, primarily across portions of interior southeast Mississippi. Light easterly to southeasterly 5 to 10 knot winds today becoming light and variable for most locations tonight (except still predominately southeasterly near the coast). On Tuesday expect light south to southeasterly winds across the entire area. DS/12 && .NEAR TERM... (Now through Tuesday) Issued at 134 PM CDT Mon May 20 2024 Forecast for this afternoon is in good shape, with partly cloudy skies, light winds and warm (hot) temperatures expected to continue. Temperatures are currently in the low 80s along the coast to mid 80s inland, and will likely top out in the upper 80s for most interior locations later this afternoon. Dry conditions will continue across the forecast area tonight through Tuesday as deep ridging continues to build across over Mississippi, Alabama and the western Florida panhandle. Upper level troughing continues off the Atlantic coast and also over the western third of the CONUS. Increasing subsidence from the riding will continue to prevent formation of any showers or storms through the near term, and also allow for above normal temperatures. Expect mostly clear skies tonight and then a continuation of partly cloudy skies on Tuesday with daytime heating. Light and variable winds for most locations tonight, then expect a light southeast to southerly flow on Tuesday, slightly stronger near the coast during the afternoon hours. As previously mentioned, temperatures will be a little above normal both tonight and Tuesday. Lows tonight will mainly be ranging from the mid 60s over most interior locations to the upper 60s and lower 70s closer to and along the coast. High temperatures on Tuesday will again be quite warm, primarily warming into the upper 80s for most locations (perhaps a few lower 90s, especially over portions of southeast Mississippi), and in the mid 80s near the coast (with a few lower 80s possible along the beaches and barrier islands).
