Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Mobile AL 143 PM CDT Tue Aug 12 2025 ...New Discussion, Marine... .DISCUSSION... Issued at 125 PM CDT Tue Aug 12 2025 A rather soggy period continues before we heat back up and second summer comes knocking. The main driver for the more active weather will be an inverted trough/easterly wave near the mouth of the Mississippi river that will continue to track west across the northern Gulf. This disturbance has brought an increase in moisture to the area and widespread showers and storms. PWATS have climbed to over 2 inches once again, and rain chances will follow as numerous to widespread showers and storms are once again expected late this evening and into the day on Wednesday. Given the high moisture value and overall weak steering flow, heavy rainfall will be the greatest concern as storms could quickly produce a couple of inches in an hour. Luckily for the flooding potential storms have continued moving and have brought a more steady 2 to 4 inches across the coastal areas and slightly less inland. However, Given the PWAT situation and soggy soils, there is still some low end concerns for Flash Flooding across the Florida panhandle into coastal alabama late tonight into Wednesday. Flooding concerns will likely be confined to urban poor drainage areas. We will have to keep a close eye overnight on trends and see how the forecast evolves. Rain chances should begin to taper off as the system tracks west and upper level ridging builds back into the area by Thursday bringing a drier but hotter weekend. Expect a more summertime pattern to setup with your standard scattered afternoon thunderstorms along the seabreeze and rather uncomfortable temperatures and humidity. The big concern will likely be heat as temperatures climb into the mid 90s with dewpoints in the 70s. Heat indices will climb back into the low 100s making for a rather sticky weekend.
