271 FXUS64 KMOB 051116 AFDMOB Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Mobile AL 616 AM CDT Sat Jul 5 2025 ...New Aviation... .DISCUSSION... Issued at 1146 PM CDT Fri Jul 4 2025 Upper ridging continues to be dominant over the south-central CONUS through the weekend. Upper troughing splits over the southeastern CONUS with part of this retrograding westward across the forecast area this weekend. Upper ridging then builds in across the region for next week. As better moisture returns to the area throughout the atmospheric column, more typical afternoon scattered showers and storms are expected to become established by late this weekend into next week as better moisture returns to the area. Hot temperatures can be expected each day with highs topping out in the lower to middle 90`s and overnight lows in the lower to middle 70`s. Heat indices will generally stay below heat advisory criteria in the 95 to 105 range, perhaps sneaking to near advisory criteria by the middle of next week in the 100 to 107 range. A Low risk of rip currents remains through the weekend and early next week. MM/25 && .AVIATION... (12Z TAFS) Issued at 615 AM CDT Sat Jul 5 2025 VFR conditions expected through the forecast.
