DISCUSSION
(THIS EVENING)
ISSUED AT 535 PM CST SUN NOV 30 2025
DID SOME TWEAKS ON THE POPS TO SLOW DOWN A FEW HOURS OF THE
EXITING OF THE RAIN IN THE SOUTHEAST. THERE IS A PRETTY DEFINED
BACK-EDGE AND THAT SHOULD CLEAR THE FORECAST AREA BY MIDNIGHT AT
LEAST. COLDER AIR FILTERS IN BEHIND THE LINE, BUT COULD BE
MODIFIED A TOUCH IF CLOUDS HANG TOUGH, LIKE MODELS TEND TO
STRUGGLE WITH. IF THE CLOUDS DO HANG ON, EXPECTED TEMPERATURES TO
BE 2 TO 4 DEGREES ABOVE FORECAST IN THE NORTH. WE COULD
POTENTIALLY SEE SOME CLEARING AFTER SUNRISE BEFORE THE NEXT
SHORTWAVE WORKS IN.

PREVIOUS DISCUSSION:
(THROUGH NEXT SATURDAY)
ISSUED AT 148 PM CST SUN NOV 30 2025
THE NEXT SHORTWAVE TROUGH IN THE TRAIN WILL DIP INTO THE LOWER MS
VALLEY ON MONDAY, AND HELP INDUCE AN INVERTED TROUGH/SURFACE LOW
ALONG THE GULF COAST. THIS WILL BEGIN THE OVERRUNNING PROCESS INTO
ALABAMA, WITH ANOTHER PERIOD OF WIDESPREAD RAIN EXPECTED MONDAY
AND MONDAY NIGHT. WHILE THERE MIGHT BE ENOUGH LIFT PROVIDED BY
SYNOPTIC SCALE AND ISENTROPIC PROCESSES TO PRODUCE A FEW RUMBLES
OF THUNDER, IT WON'T BE WIDESPREAD AND CERTAINLY SHOULDN'T EVEN
APPROACH STRONG (LET ALONE SEVERE) LEVELS.
AS THAT SYSTEM DEPARTS THE AREA ON TUESDAY, THE RAIN WILL DEPART
WITH IT, LEAVING DRY AND CHILLY WEATHER FOR THE MID-WEEK PERIOD.
MODELS ARE STARTING TO CONVERGE ON A SOLUTION REGARDING THE END OF
WEEK SYSTEM, AND RAIN CHANCES HAVE ACCORDINGLY STARTED TO RAMP UP.
