837 FXUS64 KMOB 120642 AFDMOB Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Mobile AL 1242 AM CST Wed Nov 12 2025 ...New DISCUSSION, MARINE... .KEY MESSAGES... Updated at 1238 AM CST Wed Nov 12 2025 - Patchy to areas of frost will develop overnight across inland communities. && .DISCUSSION... Issued at 1238 AM CST Wed Nov 12 2025 Another clear, chilly night on tap with several spots around the area already falling to the freezing mark as of 05z. Those outside viewing the aurora earlier this evening can attest that a jacket was definitely necessary given the falling temperatures. We already had to adjust the overnight temperatures downward across a good chunk of the area as the guidance was a few degrees too warm in comparison to the ongoing conditions, especially across coastal Alabama. Still anticipate the development of patchy frost across inland communities overnight. Other than that, the forecast through the weekend is on track. Not expecting any rain through the weekend in the current pattern. That said, the upper level pattern begins to break down Sunday into early next week as a quick-hitting upper low skirts across the Great Lakes region. At the same time, an upper low slides into the Desert Southwest with a trough swinging into the Pacific Northwest on the heels of that low. As a result, flow aloft turns more zonal for our area late in the weekend through early next week. However, the interaction of all of the aforementioned features aloft continues to result in large spread in the forecast guidance, especially beyond Tuesday. These interactions aloft are leading to large differences down at the surface as well with a large spread in temperatures and precipitation solutions. A weak surface low (associated with the upper low that moved into the Desert Southwest) may develop over the Plains early in the week and its weak front may try to dive into the area Tuesday into Wednesday...or it could be closer to Thursday. The latter solution leans toward more of a heavy rain signal whereas the former solution leads to very little rain with the frontal passage. All that said, there is low confidence in the forecast for the Tuesday through Thursday timeframe (especially the PoPs) for now. Beach Forecast - Rip current risk remains low through early next week in this pattern. 07/mb && .AVIATION...
