605 FXUS64 KMOB 210000 AFDMOB Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Mobile AL 700 PM CDT Fri Jun 20 2025 ...New Aviation... .DISCUSSION... Issued at 313 PM CDT Fri Jun 20 2025 Tonight through Saturday Night... Upper ridging dominates the synoptic pattern across the forecast area with generally isolated to locally scattered showers and storms during the mid to late afternoon hours, primarily in the vicinity of the sea breeze boundary. A strong storm or two can`t be ruled out with ample CAPE and weak shear overhead. Primary hazards with any storms would be gusty winds, small hail, frequent lightning, and heavy rainfall. Temperatures remain warm in the lower to middle 90`s for highs with lows in the lower to middle 70`s. Heat index values will top out in the 100 to 105 range during the afternoon hours. A Low risk of rip currents remains in place through Saturday night. MM/25 Sunday through Friday... The diurnal pattern continues through the period as a large upper high pressure area dominates the eastern half of the U.S. A low- level surface ridge will persist over the western Atlantic and southeast states, maintaining a light southerly wind through the extended with precipitable waters values holding steady between 1.5 to 2.0 inches. Pulse thunderstorms are possible each afternoon into early evening, with scattered coverage expected through early next week, followed by mainly isolated coverage the latter half of the week. We can`t rule out a few strong storms with gusty winds and frequent lightning given ample instability and minimal shear. Temperatures will average up to 5 degrees above normal through the extended, with highs in the middle 90s inland and the lower 90s along the beaches and barrier islands. Low temperatures interior areas will be in the lower to middle 70s and the upper 70s along the beaches and barrier islands. /22 && .AVIATION...
