559 FXUS64 KMOB 051144 AFDMOB Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Mobile AL 544 AM CST Wed Nov 5 2025 ...New AVIATION... .KEY MESSAGES... Updated at 540 AM CST Wed Nov 5 2025 - A couple of strong to severe thunderstorms are possible Friday afternoon through Friday night. - A Small Craft Advisory will likely become necessary for the marine area Sunday night into Monday. - The first freeze of the season is becoming increasingly probable for interior areas Monday night into Tuesday morning. && .DISCUSSION... Issued at 1101 PM CST Tue Nov 4 2025 A fairly zonal flow pattern will be present over the region through Thursday while an upper trof evolves over the north central states. The upper trof progresses mainly into the interior eastern states through Friday night while another upper trof dives into the north central states. This latter system evolves into a truly massive amplified upper trof over the central and eastern states by Sunday which slowly progresses into the western Atlantic by Tuesday. This pattern will first bring a weakening cold front to near the forecast area by late Friday night. Despite the frontolytic nature of the front, it appears that sufficient instability and shear will develop on Friday ahead of the front along with modest forcing from a series of shortwaves to support a low end risk of strong to severe storms mainly Friday afternoon into Friday night. The second action from the increasingly active pattern will be a strong cold front which pushes through late Saturday night into early Sunday morning and brings the coldest temperatures of the season so far, along with the potential of the first freeze for interior areas Monday night. Highs on Wednesday will be in the mid to upper 70s, then Thursday will be mostly around 80s except for mid 70s at the coast. Highs on Friday will be in the upper 70s to around 80, then highs on Saturday will be mostly in the lower 80s except for upper 70s at the coast. Sunday into Monday will trend much cooler in the wake of the strong cold front, with highs on Monday ranging from the lower 50s well inland to near 60 at the coast. Daytime highs then recover to 65 to 70 by Wednesday. Lows Wednesday night range from the mid/upper 40s well inland to the mid/upper 50s at the coast, then trend warmer through Friday night to range from the lower 60s inland to the mid/upper 60s at the coast. Much cooler temperatures follow for Sunday night when lows range from the mid 30s well inland to the lower 40s near the coast. The coldest night of the forecast, and season so far, will be Monday night when lows range from the mid/upper 20s well inland to the mid 30s at the coast. A low risk of rip currents is expected through Sunday. /29 && .AVIATION... (12Z TAFS) Issued at 540 AM CST Wed Nov 5 2025 VFR conditions will prevail through the period. /13 && .MARINE... Issued at 1101 PM CST Tue Nov 4 2025 A light to occasionally moderate southeasterly flow becomes light and variable on Wednesday then a light easterly flow follows for Thursday. A southerly flow on Friday becomes westerly to southwesterly on Saturday, then a moderate to strong northwesterly flow develops on Sunday as a cold front moves through. Small craft should exercise caution over the open Gulf waters on Sunday, then a Small Craft Advisory will likely become necessary for the entire marine area Sunday night into Monday. /29 && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
