DISCUSSION
ISSUED AT 223 PM CDT THU JUN 19 2025
LINGERING CORRIDOR OF SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS CONTINUES TO
OCCASIONALLY INTENSIFY AND WEAKEN FROM WEST-CENTRAL TO SOUTHEAST
PORTIONS OF THE STATE THIS AFTERNOON. THIS ACTIVITY REMAINS
FOCUSED TIGHTLY TO A SLOW MOVING FRONTAL BOUNDARY SAGGING SOUTH
ACROSS THE STATE. WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR AFTERNOON AND EARLY
EVENING PULSE CONVECTION THAT COULD OCCASIONALLY PRODUCE
MARGINALLY SEVERE HAIL, STRONG WIND GUSTS AND HEAVY RAINFALL.
AT THE MID-LEVELS, THE ACCOMPANYING TROUGH WILL CONTINUE TO
PROGRESS TOWARD THE EAST COAST ON FRIDAY. IN ITS WAKE, A
STRENGTHENING H500 RIDGE WILL BUILD OVER MUCH OF THE SOUTHERN US.
THE CENTER OF THE RIDGE IS EXPECTED TO BE IN PLACE OVER THE
TENNESSEE VALLEY THIS WEEKEND WITH A GRADUAL SHIFT EAST TOWARD THE
MID-ATLANTIC DURING THE EARLY TO MIDDLE PART OF NEXT WEEK.
AT THE SFC, RIDGING WILL REMAIN STEADFAST OFF THE SE US COAST BUT
COULD OCCASIONALLY DRIFT ONSHORE AT TIMES. THIS WILL PROVIDE A
NEARLY STEADY SW FLOW ACROSS THE STATE THROUGH THE PERIOD.
THIS COMBINATION OF INCREASED LOW LEVEL MOISTURE AND INCREASING
TEMPERATURES BENEATH THE RIDGE WILL SET THE STAGE FOR A PERIOD OF
UNCOMFORTABLE WEATHER. PARTS OF THE STATE WILL SEE HEAT INDICES AT
OR ABOVE 105 EACH DAY. AND WHILE THERE WILL BE LITTLE IN THE WAY
OF WIDESPREAD RAINFALL DURING THIS PERIOD, WITH THE CENTER OF THE
H500 RIDGE EXPECTED TO BE TO THE EAST OF THE STATE THERE WILL AT
LEAST BE CHANCES FOR DIURNALLY DRIVEN SHOWERS/STORMS ACROSS THE
WESTERN PERIPHERY OF THE HIGH.
