260 FXUS64 KMOB 121640 AFDMOB Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Mobile AL 1040 AM CST Wed Nov 12 2025 ...New DISCUSSION, MARINE... .KEY MESSAGES... Updated at 1040 AM CST Wed Nov 12 2025 - Patchy fog may develop overnight mainly over interior areas. && .DISCUSSION... Issued at 1040 AM CST Wed Nov 12 2025 An upper trof over the interior eastern states moves off into the western Atlantic through Thursday as an upper ridge progresses into the central CONUS. Some patchy fog is possible late tonight into early Thursday morning mainly over interior areas with clear skies and light winds promoting radiative cooling. The upper ridge weakens while continuing into the eastern states on Friday after which another upper trof advances across the northern Plains and into much of the eastern states through Sunday. An upper low meanwhile breaks down to a shortwave trof while swinging into the southwestern states on Sunday, but past this point there continues to be a fair amount of uncertainty with the strength of this feature before it ultimately ejects off towards the Great Lakes region. This pattern brings a trailing cold front into central MS/AL on Sunday before stalling, then a surface low develops over the southern or northern Plains Sunday night, depending on what transpires with the shortwave trof. There is a lot of uncertainty past this point, with the surface low either moving into the northeastern states through Wednesday or more quickly moving across the southeastern states Monday night into Tuesday. A dry forecast continues for the area through Monday night as deep layer moisture remains limited despite the frontal boundary moving into the area on Sunday. Considering the uncertainty with the pattern, have gone with slight chance to chance pops for Tuesday generally along and west of I-65, then slight chance pops follow for Wednesday over much of southeast Mississippi and a small portion of interior southwest Alabama. A low risk of rip currents is expected through Monday. Lows tonight range from the mid 40s well inland to the lower/mid 50s near the coast, then milder temperatures are expected by Saturday night when lows range from the lower 50s well inland to around 60 at the coast. Overnight lows trend a bit warmer by Tuesday night to range from the mid 50s well inland to the lower 60s near the coast. Highs on Thursday will be mostly in the lower/mid 70s then trend to mostly around 80 going into early next week. /29 && .AVIATION...
