| Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Mobile AL 1241pm CDT Fri Mar 13 2026 Issued at 106am CDT Fri Mar 13 2026 Winds will continue to gradually relax overnight and into the pre- dawn hours as high pressure builds across the region. Frost is possible across for areas north of the Highway 84 corridor in south Alabama and south Mississippi (our northernmost counties) before daybreak as temperatures fall into the upper 30s with dewpoints in the mid to low 30s. There's not a high likelihood of frost across our interior counties, however, it cannot be ruled out early this morning. The surface high remains in control of our local weather through much of the weekend with high temperatures soaring into the 80s again area-wide by Sunday. Enjoy the nice warm temperatures while they last as winter will attempt to make another appearance early next week. A strengthening trough aloft digs across the Plains on Sunday as the surface low (associated with the upper level feature) quickly deepens as it ejects northeastward across the Midwest Sunday afternoon and evening. A strong cold front draped to the south of the surface low will slide toward our area Sunday night into Monday morning. Moisture return gradually improves on Saturday, but quickly increases on Sunday as deep southerly flow returns to the area. Expect isolated showers and storms in the afternoon hours on Sunday, generally east of I-65 (associated with a few subtle shortwaves sliding through the flow aloft). The chance for strong to potentially severe storms will come during the overnight hours Sunday into early Monday as the low level jet increases overhead prior to the arrival of the cold front. Yet again, there will be ample shear and instability overhead as this broken line of storms rolls into the region. Capping might help keep any isolated convection from developing ahead of the line, however, there isn't as much capping noted closer to the coastline. For now, the best threat looks to be across our southern tier of counties, but that could change. The main impact looks to be strong winds with this round of storms, although a few tornadoes are possible as well. This line of storms will quickly exit the region through the morning hours on Monday. While we are not currently outlooked for severe weather, we wouldn't be surprised if that changes on upcoming outlooks. Given the progressive nature of this line of storms, we do not anticipate flooding issues. Temperatures crash behind the cold front. Highs on Monday will be in the 50s for locations west of I-65 and 60s east of I-65. Below freezing, yes we said freezing, temperatures are expected across our inland counties Monday night into Tuesday morning with temperatures hovering in the mid to upper 30s for the coastal counties. We will struggle to get into the mid to low 50s area- wide on Tuesday with lows crashing back down into the upper 20s to low 30s again Tuesday night into Wednesday morning. Temperatures finally begin to rebound by mid-week with highs in the 80s possible again by the end of the week. Beach Forecast - Risk remains LOW through Saturday for coastal Alabama and northwest Florida beaches. The strengthening onshore flow will lead to the risk for rip currents quickly increasing late in the weekend. A HIGH risk for rip currents is now in the forecast for Sunday night through Monday, ahead of the approaching cold front. Surf and rip current conditions should quickly improve in the northerly flow behind the front. 07/mb Marine Issued at 106am CDT Fri Mar 13 2026 Strong offshore flow will gradually relax and turn easterly through the morning. Strengthening onshore flow returns early on Sunday ahead of the next approaching cold front. Winds abrupartly turn northwesterly behind a front late Sunday into early Monday. Small craft conditions are expected by Monday with the potential for gales behind the front. Strong offshore flow will persist through at least Tuesday of next week. 07/mb NOAA Mobile AL Office: Watches - Warnings - Advisories AL...None. FL...None. MS...None. GM...None. |
