930 FXUS64 KMOB 171558 AFDMOB Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Mobile AL 1058 AM CDT Tue Jun 17 2025 ...New Discussion... .DISCUSSION... Issued at 1053 AM CDT Tue Jun 17 2025 Near term forecast on track as the central Gulf coast remains on the convectively active eastern flank of a short-wave upper trof aligned over the Mid-South to off the central LA coast. Environmental moisture remains high with PWAT`s 1.8 to 2.0". Considering these players along with sufficient instability (MUCapes ranging 3000-4000 J/KG) and a multitude of rain-cooled surface based outflow boundaries to aid in focused ascent in the mesoscale favors numerous to widespread showers and storms the remainder of the day. Some of the storms likely to be strong, containing brief strong wind gusts to around 40 mph, concentrated and frequent lightning, perhaps small hail, and locally heavy rains. Storms are showing steady northward movement as to limit residence time over any one area, but short term heavy rainfall rates could yield to instances of nuisance type flooding in lower lying, poorly drained areas. Forecasters cannot discount the potential of a risk of marginally severe storms over the interior this afternoon and evening. /10 && .AVIATION... (12Z TAFS) Issued at 612 AM CDT Tue Jun 17 2025 Showers and storms develop across the area this morning then taper off during the late afternoon into early evening hours. IFR/MVFR conditions will be possible with the stronger storms, along with gusty winds. Winds become southerly near 10 knots this morning, then diminish to a mostly light and variable flow this evening. /29 && .MARINE... Issued at 303 AM CDT Tue Jun 17 2025 A light to at times moderate onshore flow prevails through Saturday. Winds and seas will be higher near storms, and the environment also looks to be supportive of waterspouts in morning activity near the coast. /29 && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
