| Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Mobile AL 1234pm CDT Wednesday April 8 2026 Issued at 1129am CDT Wednesday April 8 2026 A strong surface ridge over the southeastern to Mid Atlantic states begins to weaken later in the week resulting in an easterly to northeasterly surface flow over the forecast area gradually transitioning to a southeasterly flow this weekend. A shortwave trough currently oriented near/along the Sabine River valley continues across the forecast area tonight with a series of lesser shortwaves meanwhile progressing mainly across the marine area. These features look to be sufficient to allow for some isolated showers to develop mainly over the western Florida panhandle and coastal Alabama late this afternoon into the evening hours. Dry conditions are otherwise expected through Tuesday as an initially broad upper ridge builds into the region, then shifts off to the east ahead of an upper trough advancing across the Plains. Deep layer moisture improves along and west of I-65 on Wednesday which will allow for slight chance to chance probability of precipitation to return to this portion. A High Surf Advisory remains in effect for the Alabama and western Florida panhandle beaches through Thursday for surf heigheights of 4-6 feet. A High Risk of rip currents is in effect through Friday night. Highs today will be in the mid to upper 70s then warm to the lower to mid 80s for Saturday through Wednesday, with a bit cooler temps near the coast. Lows tonight and Friday night range from the lower 50s well inland to the lower 60s at the coast, then gradually trend to milder values from around 60 to the mid 60s by Tuesday night. /29 Marine Issued at 1129am CDT Wednesday April 8 2026 Moderate to very strong easterly winds diminish on Thursday. A Gale Warning continues for the 20-60 nm portion until 7 am Thursday with a Small Craft Advisory otherwise in effect for the near shore waters, including the MS Sound and Southern Mobile Bay for a portion of the time. A Small Craft Advisory will be in effect for the open Gulf waters 7 am to 1 pm Thursday, then for the 20-60 nm portion until 7 pm Thursday before ending. A light to moderate easterly flow, occasionally stronger well offshore, follows for Thursday night into Friday, then transitions to a southeasterly flow for Saturday into Sunday. /29 NOAA Mobile AL Office: Watches - Warnings - Advisories AL...High Rip Current Risk through late Thursday night for ALZ265-266.
