| Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Mobile AL 144pm CDT Thu April 2 2026 ...New .KEY MESSAGES... Issued at 144pm CDT Thu April 2 2026 - A HIGH risk of rip currents continues through this weekend for coastal Alabama and northwest Florida beaches. - Next chance for meaningful rain will accompany a cold front this weekend, but it will not be a drought-busting rain. - A few rounds of small craft advisory-level conditions (gusts potentially reaching gale-force) are possible over the Gulf and local bays/sounds Sunday through much of next week behind the cold front. Issued at 144pm CDT Thu April 2 2026 At the surface, high pressure over the Appalachians continues to promote dry weather conditions across the southeast US through Friday night. We transition to a wetter pattern for this weekend as upper ridging over the southeast US pushes to the east and an upper shortwave exiting the central Rockies Friday morning moves over the central/northern Great Plains and Upper Midwest through the remainder of the week. The axis of this trough will then slip east of the Mississippi River on Sunday. In response to this, winds aloft turn southwesterly, allowing for moisture to slowly advect back into the local area Saturday into Sunday, with a modest increase in PWATs (Precipitable Waters) to 1.5-1.7 inches Sunday morning. A surface low pressure area forming across the central plains on Friday will lift northeastward across the Midwest States and western Great Lakes through Saturday. An associated cold front approaching from the northwest Saturday evening will pass through our area late Saturday night and Sunday. This front will bring scattered to numerous showers and a chance of general storms slowly passing through our area from Saturday afternoon through Sunday afternoon. General rainfall amounts are expected to range from one-half to one inch, with highest totals northwest of I-65. Gusty northerly winds are likely in the wake of the front on Monday. This front will also usher in a cooler and drier airmass with high temperatures on Monday in the middle to upper 60s inland to near 70 along the coast. Patchy to areas of fog are likely late tonight, Friday night, and possibly Saturday night. Some locally dense fog is possible at times, and this will need to be monitored for possible advisories down the road. As always continue to use caution when driving with fog. /22 Beach Hazards...A HIGH risk of rip currents will likely continue through the weekend as a moderate onshore flow should persist. While the winds will not be strong, there should be enough of a fetch and increasingly strong tides falling during the afternoons to result in likely hazardous swimming conditions and rip currents. Be sure to continue to swim near lifeguards. BB-8 Marine Issued at 1250am CDT Thu April 2 2026 Winds abrupartly turn northerly through the afternoon and evening on Sunday behind a cold front. A moderate to strong offshore flow persists through Monday before winds gradually turn easterly on Tuesday. Expect a few rounds of small craft advisory-level conditions next week behind the front with gusts to gale force possible. 07/mb NOAA Mobile AL Office: Watches - Warnings - Advisories AL...High Rip Current Risk through Sunday evening for ALZ265-266. FL...High Rip Current Risk through Sunday evening for FLZ202-204-206. MS...None. GM...None. |
