Area forecast discussion, Sep 30, 11:50 PM CDT, 3 hours 56 minutes before

Area Forecast Discussion...UPDATED
National Weather Service Mobile AL
1150 PM CDT Wed Sep 30 2020

.AVIATION...
06Z issuance...VFR conditions, with clear skies and fair weather,
will continue through the TAF period. Light winds tonight will
become northwesterly and increase to be between 5-10 knots through
Thursday morning, persisting through the afternoon. With the
passage of a dry cold front Thursday evening, winds will then
shift to be out of the north and be around 5 knots over the inland
areas and around 10 knots right along the coast. /26

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 1038 PM CDT Wed Sep 30 2020/

NEAR TERM /Now Through Thursday Night/...An upper level trough
over the eastern CONUS will stay fairly stationary but amplify
through the near term period. Meanwhile, a reinforcing surface
cold front will progress over the southeastern CONUS during this
time, with passage over the local area Thursday afternoon and
evening. This feature is not expected to bring much precipitation
or clouds, but usher in cooler, drier air as well as increased
northwesterly winds down into the deep south by late week. Thus,
dry and clear conditions will prevail through Thursday night. Low
temperatures overnight tonight will be in the lower to mid 50s
north of I-10 and in the mid to upper 50s south. Highs Thursday
will then be in the lower to mid 80s, with overnight lows Thursday
night similar to tonight. A LOW RISK of rip currents will also
continue through the period. /26
