690 FXUS64 KMOB 151730 AFDMOB Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Mobile AL 1230 PM CDT Sun Jun 15 2025 ...New Aviation, Discussion... .DISCUSSION... Issued at 1221 PM CDT Sun Jun 15 2025 Now through Monday Night... We start the period with a well defined low/mid level ridge of high pressure positioned from the southwest Atlantic, westward across the FL Peninsula into the central Gulf. On the western flank of this ridge, a H20/H30 upper level trof axis was aligned over the central Gulf coast and marked by a cyclonic curvature in the cloud elements. This feature operating on a weakly defined coastal surface boundary draped from southeast AL/southwest GA border to down across the AL/NW FL coastal waters, combined with more than sufficient deep layer environmental moisture (PWAT`s 1.8 to 2.1") and daily instability has resulted in pockets of cold cloud tops => scattering of showers and storms. As we go through the remainder of the day, the expectation is coverage will begin to increase over the land zones and move/develop northward. Forecasters are beginning to see this in radar trends in central MS. At the present time, the environment is characterized by high CAPE and low shear, resulting in typical summer-time ordinary, pulse type storms, which could become strong at times contributing to locally brief strong wind gusts and perhaps small hail upon collapse of storm centroids. We cannot rule out a brief severe storm here or there, but the overall threat is low. Frequent lightning and brief, localized heavy rains are also possible with the stronger storms. Storms lingering into the evening are expected to weaken with the loss of instability. A similar pattern remains in place as we open the work week on Monday and Monday night. Rip current risk along area beaches is low. /10 && .AVIATION... (18Z TAFS) Issued at 1221 PM CDT Sun Jun 15 2025 CIG`s and VSBY temporarily down to MVFR categories with passage of any tsra containing heavier downpours through 16.00Z. Away from convective influences, winds light. Lingering convective activity after 16.00Z is expected to be lifting northward of the terminals and weakening. /10 && .MARINE... Issued at 240 AM CDT Sun Jun 15 2025 Light onshore flow to persist into early next week. Occasionally moderate southerly flow is possible, especially in the nearshore waters which will be influenced by the diurnal land and sea breeze pattern. Winds and seas will likely be temporarily higher in the vicinity of storms. /73 && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
