DISCUSSION
ISSUED AT 200 PM CDT SAT JUN 20 2026
A REMNANT MCV CONTINUES MOVE ACROSS CENTRAL MISSISSIPPI AND
ALABAMA THIS AFTERNOON. AS THIS SYSTEM MOVES EASTWARD THROUGH THE
AFTERNOON AN AREA OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE TO
SPREAD EASTWARD ACROSS MAINLY INTERIOR PORTIONS OF THE AREA.
ADDITIONAL SHOWERS AND STORMS CAN BE EXPECTED ACROSS THE SOUTHERN
HALF OF THE AREA BUT COVERAGE WILL BE MORE SCATTERED. PLENTY OF
TROPICAL MOISTURE WITH PWATS OVER 2 INCHES COMBINED WITH LIFT FROM
THE MCV WILL LEAD TO A CONTINUED RISK OF HEAVY RAINFALL AND A
RISK OF FLOODING. ONE MORE DAY OF HIGH RAIN CHANCES ON SUNDAY
BEFORE SURFACE AND UPPER RIDGING BUILD ACROSS THE AREA MONDAY.
THIS INCREASED RIDGING COMBINED WITH SOME DRIER AIR MOVING INTO
THE AREA WILL CAUSE LOWER RAIN CHANCES ACROSS MUCH OF THE AREA ON
MONDAY. BY TUESDAY INTO WEDNESDAY THE UPPER RIDGE WILL BUILD
ACROSS THE SOUTHWEST WITH A BROAD TROUGH DEVELOPING ACROSS THE
EASTERN STATES. THIS WILL PLACE THE AREA IN A NORTHWEST FLOW
PATTERN WITH THE POSSIBILITY OF CONVECTIVE COMPLEXES FROM THE
NORTHWEST MOVING INTO THE AREA DURING MIDDLE PART OF THE WEEK.
TEMPERATURES WILL WARM BACK INTO THE LOW 90S WITH HEAT INDEX
VALUES INTO THE 100 TO 105 RANGE FOR THE FIRST PARK OF THE WORK
WEEK.
A HIGH RIP CURRENT RISK CONTINUES THROUGH THIS AFTERNOON BECOMING
MODERATE TONIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY. /13
