| Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Mobile AL 122pm CST Thu Feb 5 2026 ...NewARINE... .KEY MESSAGES... Issued at 117pm CST Thu Feb 5 2026 - Strong winds will create hazardous conditions for small craft today. Winds will pick up once again later tonight into Friday. - A Moderate Rip Current Risk is in place for our Florida beaches on Friday. - Unseasonably warm temperatures return in the coming week. Issued at 117pm CST Thu Feb 5 2026 Now through Thursday... Several upper level shortwaves move through a mean upper trough situated over the East Coast into the weekend, with a reinforcing front moving over the forecast area late Friday into Friday night in response. Another round of low temperatures near or below freezing is expected Saturday night. In the coming week, an upper ridge over the Plains shifts east a bit early in the week, as a closed upper low over the SW Conus/Mexico border moves east. Surface high pressure shifts south to over the eastern Gulf Sunday night into Monday, returning onshore flow to the area. Moisture levels creep up into mid week, reaching levels generally in the 1.2"-1.4" range by Wednesday as the SW-ern Conus system, now an open wave, passes over the Southeast in a now modest upper ridge. A quick shot of rain with a few embedded thunderstorms dampens the forecast area Wednesday through Thursday. Coverage is expected to be isolated to low end scattered at most, with moisture levels not quite high enough for heavier rains. Also, with limited instability available, strong to severe storms are generally not expected at this time. With the modest onshore flow in the coming week, sea fog becomes a problem, water temperatures in the mid to upper 50s into the low 60s south Mobile Bay stretch west along the Mississippi Coast. Water temperatures are in upper 40s to low 50s in Mobile Bay. With warm flow off the Gulf over these cool waters, sea fog looks likely early in the coming week. Taking a closer look at temperatures, High temperatures in the mid to upper 60s Friday drop into the mid 50s to around 60 for Saturday. From there, high temperatures quickly rise into the 70s, topping out in the mid to upper 70s Wednesday and Thursday, low 70s along the coast. Looking at low temperatures low to mid 30s tonight see an uptick to upper 30s to low 40s for Friday night before the reinforcing front drops temps back down into the around 30 to mid 30s Saturday night. From there, low temps rise through the week, topping out in this forecast, to mid to upper 50s Wednesday night. The current offshore flow shifts to westerly Friday, creating a moderate risk of Rip Currents on area beaches. Winds shift back to offshore for the weekend, shifting the Rip Risk back to low. Even with a shift in winds to onshore in the coming week, winds remain light enough, even with an increasing tidal range, to limit onshore swell and keep a Low Risk of rip currents into the coming week. /16 Marine Issued at 117pm CST Thu Feb 5 2026 Moderate to strong northwesterly flow will ease slightly tonight before becoming a moderate to strong westerly flow for Friday. Winds turn back to an offshore flow by Saturday and weaken. Light onshore flow returns for Sunday and into early next week. /16 NOAA Mobile AL Office: Watches - Warnings - Advisories AL...None.
