DISCUSSION
ISSUED AT 312 PM CDT SUN SEP 6 2026
STORMS CONTINUE TO DEVELOP AND DRIFT SOUTH EARLY THIS AFTERNOON AS
THE CU FIELD BLOSSOMS ACROSS THE ENTIRE AREA. AS WE ROLL THROUGH THE
REST OF TODAY, STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS DROPPING INTO THE REGION FROM
THE NORTH REMAIN POSSIBLE THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING. A SHORTWAVE
SLIDING THROUGH THE FLOW ALOFT WILL PROVIDE A FOCUS FOR THE
DEVELOPMENT OF CLUSTERS OF STORMS, AND COMBINED WITH AMPLE
INSTABILITY (ESPECIALLY NORTH OF THE COASTLINE) AND STEEP LAPSE
RATES, WILL RESULT IN THE POTENTIAL FOR MORE ROBUST CONVECTION LATE
THIS AFTERNOON INTO THE EVENING HOURS. CAMS CONTINUE TO PROVIDE A
WIDE RANGE OF SOLUTIONS FOR CONVECTION THIS EVENING, BUT OUR CURRENT
THINKING IS THAT STORMS WILL DRIFT INTO OUR AREA FROM THE NORTH,
ESPECIALLY FOR AREAS EAST OF I-65, LATE THIS AFTERNOON WITH
CONVECTION DWINDLING BY 10-11PM. GUSTY DOWNBURST WINDS ARE THE
PREDOMINANT THREAT IN ANY STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS LATER TODAY.
THE LOCAL AREA REMAINS ON THE EASTERN SIDE OF A RIDGE ALOFT THROUGH
LABOR DAY WITH NORTHERLY FLOW USHERING IN DRIER AIR ALOFT BY THE
AFTERNOON HOURS. ANOTHER ROUND OF STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS IS
POSSIBLE IN THE AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING HOURS WITH STRONG, GUSTY
WINDS BEING THE MAIN THREAT AGAIN. AFTERNOON MIXING WITH MUCH DRIER
AIR ALOFT WILL ALLOW DEWPOINTS TO FALL INTO THE LOW 70S ACROSS
INLAND COMMUNITIES IN THE AFTERNOON HOURS. NOTE THAT THE DOWNWARD
ADJUSTMENT FROM THE NBM DEWPOINTS, WHICH WERE FAR TOO HIGH
THROUGHOUT MUCH OF MONDAY, WAS THE ONLY SIGNIFICANT DEVIATION/CHANGE
ON THIS FORECAST UPDATE. WHILE IT WILL CERTAINLY BE HOT ON LABOR
DAY, THESE LOWER DEWPOINTS SHOULD GENERALLY PREVENT THE AREA FROM
EXCEEDING CRITERIA FOR A HEAT ADVISORY.
RIDGING ALOFT NUDGES FURTHER INTO THE SOUTHEAST ON TUESDAY AND
WEDNESDAY WITH THE DEVELOPMENT OF DEEP LAYER EASTERLY FLOW. THE
RIDGE ALOFT QUICKLY BREAKS DOWN AS WE HEAD DEEPER INTO THE WEEK AS A
TROUGH SWINGS ACROSS THE MIDWEST ON ITS WAY TOWARD THE EAST COAST
WHILE A POTENTIALLY SUBTLE UPPER LOW DRIFTS WEST ACROSS THE NORTHERN
GULF. DIURNALLY DRIVEN SHOWERS AND STORMS ARE EXPECTED THROUGHOUT
THE REST OF THE WEEK IN THIS GENERAL PATTERN.
BEACH FORECAST - LOW RISK CONTINUES THROUGH THE LONG HOLIDAY
WEEKEND. THE RISK INCREASES TO MODERATE BY TUESDAY AFTERNOON BEFORE
THE FALLING BACK TO LOW FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE WEEK. 07/MB

ISOLATED SHRA/TSRA ACTIVITY ALONG THE SEABREEZE. WE ARE EXPECTING

TOMBIGBEE RIVER MOVING SOUTHWARD TOWARD THE COAST. ADDED A PROB30
GROUP FROM 07/03Z THRU 07/07Z FOR THE KPNS/KJKA TAF SITES FOR
GUSTY NORTHERLY WINDS AND MVFR VISIBILITIES (POSSIBLY COULD BE
LOWER). VFR CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL IN THE WAKE OF THIS ACTIVITY
THROUGH NOON LABOR DAY. /22
