You can either provide a complete 6-character PIL/AFOS ID or provide
the 3-character base ID (e.g., AFD). The start and end
dates represent 00 UTC for those dates. The Zip format is useful as
the filenames will have the product timestamp, which is useful for
when the product format has ambiguous timestamps.
879 FXUS64 KMOB 172342 AFDMOB Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Mobile AL 542 PM CST Mon Nov 17 2025 ...New AVIATION... .KEY MESSAGES... Updated at 533 PM CST Mon Nov 17 2025 - Risk for rip currents may increase to a high risk late in the week ahead of the next chance for showers and storms. - Rain chances gradually increase into the weekend; however, drought conditions are expected to continue across the area until the rain arrives. && .DISCUSSION... Issued at 138 PM CST Mon Nov 17 2025 Warm and dry conditions prevail through much of the week as a zonal upper level flow prevails. At the sfc, high pressure will remain in control with southeasterly to southerly flow bringing increased moisture to the area. Currently, a warm front is draped from northwest to southeast across the area separating a warmer and more moist airmass across southeast Mississippi and extreme southwest Alabama from the a cooler and much drier airmass to the northeast. This boundary will lift northward on Tuesday as southerly flow returns to the area. Temperatures will remain above normal through the period, likely flirting with a few record highs by midweek as an upper ridge builds across the area. Lows will also increase through the period as moisture returns to the area. Rain chances increase Friday into Saturday as an upper trough ejects across the plains and weakens as it moves eastward. While the main dynamics pass well to the north, enough low level moisture combined with the approaching trough will leads to isolated to scattered showers and storms Friday into Saturday. Dry and warm conditions return on Sunday as upper ridging rebuilds across the area. Overnight patchy fog will continue to be an issue as moisture levels increase. Rip current probabilities continue to indicate that a potential rise to a MODERATE risk for all beaches on Thursday afternoon into the weekend. /13 && .DISCUSSION...
