| Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Mobile AL 643am CDT Wednesday April 22 2026 Issued at 1038pm CDT Tuesday April 21 2026 Dry weather conditions generally prevail for the next couple days with perhaps an isolated shower or two possible Wednesday afternoon. Any showers should be light and a lot of the precipitation will likely fall as virga without ever making it to the ground owing to fairly dry low levels generally below 3 kilometers. This will especially be the case inland where dry low levels are the most robust and persist the longest. Warm temperatures continue through the rest of the week in the lower to middle 80's for highs and lows in the upper 50's to lower 60's. A Moderate risk of rip currents continues Wednesday, becoming a High risk Wednesday night into Thursday before returning back to a Moderate risk Friday into the weekend. Afternoon low level RH values improve enough to avoid any significant fire weather concerns the rest of this week into the weekend. As we head into late week and the weekend we finally see a pattern change that may favor better chances for rain across the area. A series of shortwaves progress across the eastern U.S. Friday into early next week, with each passing wave providing a chance for showers and storms. Right now it looks like the best chances are going to be Saturday, with more isolated chances Friday and Sunday. Best chances any given day will be over our far interior counties. It won't be a washout or drought buster by any means but it will be a welcome change of pace given the anomalously dry conditions we've endured so far this year. As we head into Monday, the most potent shortwave tracks across the central U.S. bringing the potential for severe weather to a large portion of the region. At the moment most guidance has a bulk of the forcing remaining north of the area, but there's certainly a signal for potential problems with severe weather for someone across the gulf coast states. Whether that's our area or our neighbors to the north is yet to be determined. Even if better forcing is to our north, if we did get storms to develop they would have a good CAPE/shear environment to work with to become strong to severe, so certainly something worthwhile to keep an eye on. At a minimum, we'll see at least some slight increase in rain and storm chances again Monday into Tuesday of next week. MM/25 Marine Issued at 337am CDT Wednesday April 22 2026 A light predominately southeasterly flow through Friday afternoon will become southerly to southwesterly Friday night through the weekend. /22 NOAA Mobile AL Office: Watches - Warnings - Advisories AL...High Rip Current Risk from this evening through Thursday afternoon for ALZ265-266.
