510 FXUS64 KMOB 042339 AFDMOB Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Mobile AL 639 PM CDT Fri Jul 4 2025 ...New Aviation... .DISCUSSION... Issued at 123 PM CDT Fri Jul 4 2025 Upper ridging remains dominant over the central US through the weekend while upper troughing remains over the east coast. Our forecast area remains between these two features today before a cutoff upper low/trough retrogrades west this weekend into early next week over the forecast area. Ridging will build in place of the upper low by early next week with a significantly moisture airmass returning by the middle of next week. Until then, a dry, hot airmass remains in place with only isolated showers and storms returning to areas southeast of the I-65 corridor this afternoon with more typical afternoon scattered showers and storms becoming established 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 100 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. BB-8 && .AVIATION...
