Fxus64 kmob 241122 aaa afdmob area forecast discussion... Updated national weather service mobile al 622 am cdt Wed may 24 2017 Discussion Updated for latest aviation discussion below. Aviation 12z issuance... CIGS visbys range fromVFR along to the coast to low end MVFR ifr north of highway 84. An upper system spinning over the mid mississippi river valley will push east today through tonight, bringing continued MVFR ifr CIGS visbys along with light shra to areas along and north of highway 84, with general MVFR to vfr south. 16 Prev discussion issued 414 am cdt Wed may 24 2017 near term now through tonight ... shortwave energy sweeping around the base of a southward moving upper low located over eastern portions of the central plains pushes a front (currently located along the lower mississippi river) across the forecast area today. Looking at the regional radar loop, the bulk of of the rain is located closer to the upper low (read northwest of the area), leaving a more isolated to scattered coverage to our west to move over the area this morning. The current activity over the land and marine portion of the forecast area should be along our eastern border by the time the current package comes into effect. As the day progresses, guidance is consistent bringing a few isolated shra to northern portions of the forecast area later today into tonight as the upper system transitions from southward moving to eastward moving and opens, passing just north of the area in the process. Am putting highest chance of rain over eastern portions of the forecast area, mainly this morning, with a few light shra hanging on over northern portions into this evening as a result. Cold air will move over the area behind the front, though with the south to eastward movement transition of the upper system, am expecting the initial northwest winds late afternoon to early evening to transition to westerly, lessening the cold push. With southeast portions of the forecast are seeing the cooler air last, a northwest to southeast gradient with respect to highs is expected today. Highs ranging from mid 70s northwest to low 80s southeast are expected. Tonight, the cooler air overspreads the entire forecast area, with overnight lows dropping into the well below seasonal low to mid 50s. 16 short term Thursday through Friday night ... the storm system which has plagued the forecast area for the past several days will finally move east of the region Thursday. A northwesterly flow aloft in wake of the system will herald a drier

airmass into our area as ridging, both at the surface and aloft, moves into the forecast area. The result will be drier and slightly cooler conditions for the 36-48 hour time period. Shortwave ridging aloft should dampen as it heads into the eastern united states Friday. The surface high should correspondingly move east, resulting in a gradual return of low-level moisture to our corner of the world Friday afternoon. Even so, precipitable water values should remain below 1 inch, which is below climatological means for this time of year. With no synoptic scale forcing present, weather conditions should remain dry, although it'll likely feel a little more humid. 02 long term Saturday through Tuesday ... our next storm system will start to take shape Saturday, as a shortwave trough tries to amplify heading into the plains. The associated cold front should push into the lower mississippi valley Sunday, then inch its way toward our forecast area for Monday and Tuesday. For Saturday, most of the low-level moisture is expected to pool along the surface front extending from the midsouth into the arklatex. And while precipitable water values approach seasonal values for our area, any convective development will be due to mesoscale processes. Because of the very limited nature of any convective development, the odds of seeing showers thunderstorms will remain below 15% Saturday. Things change for Sunday through Tuesday as the front approaches and subsequently stalls. At least a scattered coverage of showers and thunderstorms is expected through the period, with a weakening diurnal trend anticipated by Tuesday. 02 marine... strong westerly winds will transition to north-westerly, then ease into Thursday night as surface high pressure moves toward and over the area. Light to moderate onshore flow returns by Friday as the surface high moves east of the area. A passing upper system will bring a temporary increase in the onshore flow Saturday into Saturday night, but by Sunday, the flow returns to a light onshore. 16 Mob watches warnings advisories Al...

Finally, tide and current data on this site is from 2007 and 2008 data bases, which may contain even older data. Changes in harbors due to building or dredging change tides and currents and for that reason many of the locations presented are no longer supported by newer data bases. For example, there is very little tidal current data in newer data bases so current data is likely wrong to some extent. This data is NOT FOR NAVIGATION. See the XTide disclaimer for details. In addition, tide and current are influenced by storms, river flow, and other factors beyond the ability of any predictive program.
