099 FXUS64 KMOB 141806 AFDMOB Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Mobile AL 106 PM CDT Mon Jul 14 2025 ...New Discussion, Marine... .DISCUSSION... Issued at 106 PM CDT Mon Jul 14 2025 The main concern through the work week is a developing surface low off the east coast of Florida which is anticipated to move across the Florida peninsula and into the northeastern Gulf by late Tuesday. There is the potential that this system could develop into a tropical system as it continues westward or west-northwestward across the northeastern and north central Gulf through late week. The National Hurricane Center currently has a 20% chance of tropical development within the next 48 hours and a 30% chance over the next 7 days. Regardless of how much this system develops, rain chances increase to likely to categorical pops for most of the area by Wednesday, with mostly categorical pops for Thursday and Friday. Rainfall totals from Wednesday through Friday range from near 1 inch well inland to around 2 inches near the coast, and will need to monitor for potential flooding concerns particularly over the southern portion of the area. Likely pops prevail for Saturday through Monday as abundant deep layer moisture remains in place over the region in the wake of the potential tropical system. In the near term, another concern will be heat index values on Tuesday which look to mostly top out between 102 and 107, with the higher values over the southern half of the area and just shy of Heat Advisory criteria (108). For now, will continue to monitor but cannot rule out that a Heat Advisory may become necessary for Tuesday afternoon. A low risk of rip currents is expected through Wednesday, then a moderate risk follows for Wednesday night. A HIGH risk of rip currents is anticipated for Thursday through Friday. /29 && .AVIATION...

Issued at 106 PM CDT Mon Jul 14 2025 A light to moderate westerly to northerly flow prevails through Tuesday. A southeasterly flow develops on Wednesday then becomes southerly for Thursday into Friday with a southwesterly flow expected for Saturday. A low pressure system, potentially a tropical system, may move across the area later this week and bring stronger winds and higher seas. /29 && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
