Area Forecast Discussion...UPDATED
National Weather Service Mobile AL
117 PM CST Wed Feb 8 2017

.DISCUSSION...See updated information for land areas and aviation
discussion below.

&&

.UPDATE...Areas of dense fog will likely continue to impact
locations near immediate coastal portions of southwest AL and the
northwest FL Panhandle through this evening. The visibility has
been frequently reduced to around 1/4 mile at KNPA and KHRT the
past hour, and high resolution guidance indicates areas of dense
fog may linger near the immediate coast through the evening hours.
We have issued a Dense Fog Advisory for immediate coastal
portions of the forecast area through 9 PM CST this evening. /21

&&

.AVIATION...
18Z issuance...MVFR to IFR cigs will impact southern portions of
the forecast area this afternoon and evening, with localized IFR
to LIFR cigs and visibility reductions due to fog persisting near
the immediate coast. Isolated -SHRA will be possible mainly near
the coast this afternoon and evening. A cold front will push
through the forecast area mainly between late tonight, with winds
shifting northwest following frontal passage. There will be a
window generally between 09.03-09Z where isolated to scattered
SHRA/TSRA could develop mainly over interior areas along and ahead
of the front. VFR should return Thursday morning. /21

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 1052 AM CST Wed Feb 8 2017/

DISCUSSION...Updated for latest marine discussion below.

MARINE UPDATE...A moist southwesterly flow pattern continues
along the near shore waters and area bays and sounds, with local
marine/near shore surface observations and local beach cameras
still indicating areas of dense fog along the immediate coast.
The moist onshore flow pattern will create a continued favorable
environment for areas of dense marine fog at least into this
evening prior to frontal passage. We have extended the Dense
Marine Fog Advisory until 9 PM for our local bays/sounds and the
near shore waters out 20 NM. /21
