530 FXUS64 KMOB 111735 AFDMOB Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Mobile AL 1135 AM CST Tue Nov 11 2025 ...New AVIATION... .KEY MESSAGES... Updated at 1130 AM CST Tue Nov 11 2025 - Patchy to areas of frost will develop overnight mainly over interior areas. - Low humidity values, paired with the ongoing drought, will lead to elevated fire concerns for today. && .DISCUSSION... Issued at 1036 AM CST Tue Nov 11 2025 A dry weather pattern prevails over the forecast area through Saturday as a surface ridge meanders over the area and favors a light and mostly southerly surface flow over the area. After a cold start this morning, temperatures steadily moderate going into the weekend while dry conditions continue. We broke the record low temperatures at both Mobile and Pensacola last night. Mobile dropped to 28 and broke the previous record of 31 set in 2011, and Pensacola dropped to 31 and broke a 99 year old record of 33 set in 1926. Lows tonight range from the lower/mid 30s well inland to the lower/mid 40s at the coast, and calm or light winds along with an open radiative channel is anticipated to allow for patchy to areas of frost to develop overnight mostly over interior areas. As we have already issued and verified a Freeze Warning, a Frost Advisory will not be necessary. Highs on Wednesday will be mostly 70 to 75 then trend to the mid to upper 70s for Friday and Saturday. Lows Wednesday night range from the mid 40s well inland to the lower/mid 50s at the coast then trend by Saturday night to range from the lower 50s inland to around 60 at the immediate coast. An upper low over the extreme southwest states on Saturday breaks down to an open wave through Monday while progressing into the Plains, then likely shears out afterwards across the interior eastern states. There is uncertainty with how quickly this feature breaks down however, and there is the potential for an associated surface low to bring a cold front into the forecast area on Tuesday. For now, have gone with a dry forecast for Sunday, then slight chance pops follow for Monday with slight chance to chance pops for Tuesday. Highs on Sunday through Tuesday will be in the mid to upper 70s. Lows Sunday night range from the lower 50s well inland to around 60 at the coast, then lows Monday night range from the mid 50s well inland to the lower 60s at the coast. A low risk of rip currents is expected through Sunday. /29 && .AVIATION... (18Z TAFS) Issued at 1130 AM CST Tue Nov 11 2025 VFR conditions will prevail through noon Wednesday. Southerly winds around 5 knots developing this afternoon will become calm to light and variable tonight. /22 && .MARINE... Issued at 1036 AM CST Tue Nov 11 2025 No impacts are expected through Saturday. A light and variable flow develops this afternoon then becomes southwesterly tonight. Light westerly to southwesterly winds on Wednesday become northwesterly to westerly on Thursday. A light easterly flow on Friday becomes southeasterly on Saturday. /29 && .FIRE WEATHER... Issued at 1036 AM CST Tue Nov 11 2025 Relative humidity values drop to around 20 percent over interior areas this afternoon and 25 to 30 percent closer to the coast. Winds will remain below critical levels which will preclude the need for a Red Flag Warning. Afternoon relative humidity values remain above critical levels on Wednesday and Thursday. /29 && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
