136 FXUS64 KMOB 162353 AFDMOB Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Mobile AL 653 PM CDT Mon Jun 16 2025 ...New Aviation... .DISCUSSION... Issued at 341 PM CDT Mon Jun 16 2025 ...Tonight through Tuesday Night... Weak upper troughing generally remains situated just west of the area while upper ridging slowly builds off the southeast U.S. coastline. This will keep the area in a deep, moist airmass into Tuesday with another day of scattered to locally numerous showers and thunderstorms expected. Temperatures will remain warm in the upper 80`s to near 90 degrees for highs while overnight lows dip into the lower to middle 70`s tonight and Tuesday night. Expect the usual Summer time pulse-type stronger afternoon showers and storms owing to ample instability and weak shear over the area with gusty winds, small hail, heavy rain, and frequent lightning the primary hazards with storms. If storms can train over the same areas some localized flash flooding can`t be ruled out. A Low risk of rip currents continues through Tuesday night. MM/25 Wednesday Through Sunday... An upper level ridge over the western Atlantic continues to slowly nudge toward the Southeast and eastern Gulf as we roll into the back half of the week. A shortwave trough to our west becomes less amplified on Wednesday as it pushes up against the ridge and begins to lift out on Thursday. General ridging aloft builds into the Deep South and Southeast Friday and Saturday before building into the eastern half of the CONUS late in the weekend. Rain chances trend back toward our typical summertime pattern regime as we roll into the weekend and the heat starts to rise as ridging builds into the region. In the meantime, expect higher rain chances to continues each afternoon through Thursday. Pulse thunderstorms are possible each afternoon give ample instability and minimal shear, so we can`t rule out a few strong storms with gusty winds and frequent lightning being the main threats. Beach Forecast - The rip current risk increases to a MODERATE on Wednesday through Friday. The rip current probability guidance is trending toward a LOW risk over the weekend, but it`s borderline LOW/MODERATE. 07/mb && .AVIATION...
