776 FXUS64 KMOB 030022 AFDMOB Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Mobile AL 722 PM CDT Tue Sep 2 2025 ...New Aviation... .DISCUSSION... Issued at 1250 PM CDT Tue Sep 2 2025 Northwesterly flow aloft will persist through Thursday as the longwave trough over eastern North America is reinforced by an upper closed low pressure area diving southeast over south central Canada. We will then see a pattern change as the longwave trough lifts north-northeastward with primarily zonal flow aloft to finish off the week. The GFS and ECMWF models are showing slight departures in the timing and position of an upper shortwave forming over the southern Great Plains through the remainder of the forecast. The ECMWF is faster with the development of the upper shortwave over the weekend, with a slow eastward drift toward the Mississippi River early next week. The GFS lags behind with the development of the upper shortwave until Monday, and keeps it rather stationary. Regardless of the timing, we will eventually see a return to a deep southern flow with PWATs likely increasing back up to between 2-2.25" sometime early next week. Light winds will continue through the upcoming weekend as a weak surface high pressure area persists across the region. Dry weather conditions will continue tonight through upcoming weekend outside of a stray afternoon shower or two, but not enough coverage to include mentioning in the forecast. Although we are maintaining dry conditions over the weekend per the NBM, I would not be surprised that we may need to eventually included some isolated daytime PoPs Saturday and Sunday, but this all depends on the timing of the upper shortwave and moisture recovery. Higher shower and thunderstorm coverage should likely return by Monday. The forecast will mainly be a temperature forecast with highs in the upper 80s and lower 90s on Wednesday slowly climbing into the 90-95 degree range Friday through the weekend. After a couple of more nights with low temperatures on the coolish side, we will see return of lows climbing to slightly above normal Thursday night through the weekend. /22 && .AVIATION...
