425 FXUS64 KMOB 020555 AFDMOB Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Mobile AL 1255 AM CDT Sat Aug 2 2025 ...New Discussion, Marine... .DISCUSSION... Issued at 1237 AM CDT Sat Aug 2 2025 An upper high pressure area will remain centered over the Desert Southwest throughout the forecast. A weak upper trough will reside over our region over the weekend, followed by a stronger medium amplified upper trough digging over much of the eastern CONUS and northern Gulf through next week. A surface frontal boundary across the forecast area will slip just south of the coast tonight and stall, then lift back north and slowly dissipate through early next week. With persistent weakness aloft, enhanced daily rain chances will continue throughout the forecast. Activity will generally follow a typical diurnal pattern, with showers and thunderstorms developing during the morning over our marine zones and along the coast, and then spread inland throughout the day with scattered to numerous coverage of showers and thunderstorms by early afternoon. Showers and storms will then linger through at least mid-evening before dissipating. We can`t rule out a few strong storms with gusty winds, frequent lightning, as well as very heavy rainfall. With the stronger medium amplified upper trough over our area early next week, we expect some cooler temperatures. Highs are expected to drop into the low/mid 80s northeast of a Butler to Crestview line Monday and Tuesday, with upper 80s to around 90 degrees across the remainder of the forecast area. A LOW risk of rip currents will continue through early next week. /22 && .AVIATION... (06Z TAFS) Issued at 1226 AM CDT Sat Aug 2 2025 VFR flight category prevails across the region outside of showers and storms through this evening. Temporary reductions in ceiling and visibility can be expected underneath any showers or storms. Winds will generally be light and variable across the region at less than 5 knots, with southwesterly winds prevailing nearer the coast at around 5 to 10 knots. MM/25 && .MARINE... Issued at 1237 AM CDT Sat Aug 2 2025 A light westerly to southwesterly flow today will become variable along the coast through the remainder of the weekend as a frontal boundary slips just south of the coast and stalls. A light onshore flow will follow through the middle of next week. Seas will remain generally 2 feet or less. /22 && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
