Marine Weather and Tide Forecast for Mobile, AL

DISCUSSION
Issued at 1147 PM CST Sat Nov 7 2026

Cool, dry air continues to filter into the local area as high pressure maintains its hold over the central US. Temperatures through the remainder of the night, as well as Sunday night, should bottom out in the mid to upper 30s over our northern counties, and the low to mid 40s over our southern counties.
Although we are not anticipating temperatures dropping below freezing, temperatures in the 30s, nearly saturated boundary-layer conditions, clear skies, and light winds should help to support the development of frost over the northern half of our local area both nights. A Frost Advisory is in effect until 7AM Sunday morning generally for areas along and north of Highway 84. Another Frost Advisory may be needed for Sunday night for similar areas.
Highs on Sunday will be in the low 70s.

Temperatures slowly start to moderate through midweek as high pressure weakens and pushes directly overhead. Not anticipating any rain through Tuesday due to subsidence from the high overhead and very limited moisture. Highs are expected to reach the mid to upper 70s by Tuesday and lows should range from the low 40s north to the mid 50s along the coast by Tuesday night. One thing to note is that although temperatures are increasing, dew points should remain rather low for both Monday and Tuesday. This would lead to low RH values (~25-30% range). Although winds are expected to remain well below Red Flag criteria, these low RH values, along with dry antecedent conditions, may help to increase the risk for fire weather concerns.

By Tuesday night into Wednesday morning, a southern stream shortwave is expected to quickly push eastward. With upper-level flow turning more southwesterly ahead of this shortwave, some modest moisture return is anticipated prior to the shortwave's passage (PWATs increasing to around 1.0-1.2 inches). This may help to spark a few showers across the area, but overall, coverage should remain rather limited. The next big story will come towards the end of the week as a longwave trough quickly dives southeastward from Canada, digging as far south as the northern Gulf. A strong cold front looks to accompany this trough, pushing through the area sometime Thursday afternoon/evening. Long-range guidance continues to suggest that temperatures behind this front may drop to well below average by the upcoming weekend, bringing the potential for the first freeze of the season over northern portions of the area. Something we will continue to watch over the coming days.

The rip current risk remains low through Wednesday, possibly increasing to a Moderate Risk by Thursday. /96

MARINE
Issued at 304 PM CST Sat Nov 7 2026

Light to occasional moderate northerly flow will persist through the reminder of the weekend as surface high pressure builds into the region with winds shifting northeasterly over the Gulf by Monday morning. Light offshore flow Monday afternoon through Tuesday morning will become light and variable through midweek as the high pressure moves over the Gulf waters. A light to moderate westerly flow on Thursday will shift to a moderate to strong northwesterly flow thursday night as the next cold front sweeps through the region. /22
