DISCUSSION
ISSUED AT 1058 PM CDT SAT SEP 19 2026
THE UPPER HIGH THAT GAVE US DRY WEATHER OVER THE PAST FEW DAYS IS
WEAKENING OVER THE SOUTHERN GREAT PLAINS. MEANWHILE, A UPPER LOW
CONTINUES TO RETROGRADE AND IS CURRENTLY NEAR THE WESTERN COAST OF
FLORIDA GIVING THE AREA ENHANCED NORTHEASTERLY FLOW OVERHEAD. THE
CENTER OF THE UPPER LOW WILL CONTINUE OFF THE COAST OF FLORIDA AND
WILL SLIGHTLY STRENGTHEN THROUGH THE THE REST OF THE WEEKEND. THE
UPPER LOW IS AIDING IN INCREASING PWATS BACK ABOVE NORMAL THANKS
TO EASTERLY FLOW FUNNELING IN ATLANTIC MOISTURE. A MORE TYPICAL
DAILY PRECIPITATION PATTERN IS EXPECTED FOR SUNDAY THROUGH
POTENTIALLY TUESDAY BRINGING ISOLATED TO SCATTERED STORMS OVER THE
MARINE AREAS IN THE MORNING THEN MOVES INLAND FOR THE AFTERNOON
WITH THE HIGHEST COVERAGE CLOSER TO THE COAST.
THE UPPER LOW GETS REABSORBED INTO THE MEAN FLOW A LITTLE QUICKER
BY TUESDAY WHICH WOULD ALLOW FOR THE RIDGE TO TRY AND BUILD BACK
INTO THE AREA FROM THE WEST AND A SLOW MOVING POTENTIAL COLD FRONT
BY MID TO END OF NEXT WEEK. POPS LARGELY DECREASE BY TUESDAY INTO
WEDNESDAY WITH JUST SOME ISOLATED CHANCES WHERE THERE IS SOME
INCREASED CONVERGENCE/MOISTURE ALONG THE AFTERNOON SEABREEZE,
WHICH WITH NORTHERLY SURFACE FLOW, THIS FEATURE WOULD BE MORE
PINNED TO THE COAST THAN TYPICAL. WE SWITCH INTO NORTHWEST FLOW
WHICH DROPS PWATS BACK BELOW NORMAL TO 1.2-1.5 INCHES BY THURSDAY
AND INTO NEXT WEEKEND DROPPING OFF OUR PRECIPITATION CHANCES.
THE AREA WILL CONTINUE TO HAVE ABOVE NORMAL TEMPERATURES THROUGH MID
TO LATE NEXT WEEK. EXPECT HIGHS IN THE MID TO UPPER 90S INLAND AND
LOW 90S ALONG THE IMMEDIATE COAST. AFTERNOON DEWPOINTS SHOULD BE IN
THE UPPER 60S TO LOW 70S FOR MOST INLAND AREAS, POTENTIALLY EVEN THE
MID 60S IN SOUTHEAST MISSISSIPPI WHERE THE HIGHEST TEMPERATURES ARE
EXPECTED SUNDAY AND MONDAY. HEAT INDICES STAY BELOW ADVISORY
CRITERIA IN THE 100-106 RANGE THROUGH WEDNESDAY EVEN WITH THE
TEMPERATURES BEING WELL ABOVE NORMAL. THE AREA STILL GETS SOME
OVERNIGHT RELIEF EVEN WITH LOW TEMPERATURES ABOVE NORMAL IN LOW 70S
INLAND AND THE MID 70S ALONG THE IMMEDIATE COAST. THE PREVIOUSLY
MENTIONED POTENTIAL COLD FRONT TOWARDS THE END OF NEXT WEEK WOULD
DEFINITELY BE A WELCOMED SIGHT AFTER SUCH A WARM SEPTEMBER SO FAR.
SOMETHING TO WATCH, BUT THIS WOULD BRING TEMPERATURES/HUMIDITY DOWN
AND PUT LOW TEMPERATURES BACK INTO THE MID TO UPPER 60S.
..BEACH FORECAST
FOR THE BEACHES IN SOUTHERN ALABAMA AND THE NORTHWEST FLORIDA
PANHANDLE, THE RIP CURRENT RISK IS LOW THROUGH MID NEXT WEEK AND
SURF HEIGHTS REMAIN GENERALLY 1 TO 2 FEET OUTSIDE OF ANY STORMS.
GUIDANCE SHOWS MARINE WINDS INCREASING BY THE WEDNESDAY/THURSDAY
TIMEFRAME WHICH WOULD INCREASE THE RIP CURRENT RISK AND SURF HEIGHTS
FOR MID TO END OF NEXT WEEK.
