TONIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT...
AT LAST COUNT, WE CAN EXPECT ANOTHER 3 TO 4 WAVES OF STORMS TO
PASS ACROSS OUR WARNING AREA FROM WEST TO EAST OVER THE NEXT 36
HOURS. AS MENTIONED PREVIOUSLY, THE MAIN FORECAST CHALLENGE IS
DETERMINING THE TIMING OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS AS WE EXPECT
BOTH NOCTURNAL AND DIURNAL CONVECTION. NUMEROUS IMPULSES AND
PERTURBATIONS WILL PASS OVER OUR REGION IN A PRIMARILY WEST-
SOUTHWESTERLY MID/UPPER LEVEL FLOW PATTERN BETWEEN A NORTHERLY
PLAINS UPPER LOW PRESSURE AREA AND A PERSISTENT RIDGE OVER THE
GULF. A SURFACE LOW PRESSURE AREA ROUGHLY NEAR THE ARLATEX REGION
WILL LIFT NORTHEASTWARD, SENDING AN ASSOCIATED LOW-LEVEL BOUNDARY
IN OUR AREA TUESDAY EVENING BEFORE STALLING LATE TUESDAY NIGHT.
PLENTY OF MOISTURE WILL REMAIN AVAILABLE AS PRECIPITABLE WATERS
VALUES HOLD BETWEEN 1.8 TO 2.1 INCHES.
JUST LOOKING AT THE REGIONAL RADAR MOSAIC, OBVIOUSLY WE CAN EXPECT
THE FIRST ROUND OF SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS CONVECTION TO MOVE INTO
OUR SOUTHEAST MISSISSIPPI AND INTERIOR SOUTHWEST ALABAMA COUNTIES
FROM MID-AFTERNOON THROUGH MID-EVENING. THE STORM PREDICTION
CENTER CURRENTLY HAS A SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH IN EFFECT FOR OUR
SOUTHEAST MISSISSIPPI COUNTIES UNTIL 7 PM, AND ANOTHER WATCH FOR
OUR INTERIOR SOUTHWEST AND SOUTH CENTRAL ALABAMA COUNTIES UNTIL 10
PM. ALTHOUGH NOT ADVERTISED BY THE NBM, WE EXPECT A WEAKER SECOND
WAVE OF ISOLATED TO LOW-END SCATTERED CONVECTION TO OCCUR AFTER
MIDNIGHT TONIGHT UNTIL AROUND DAYBREAK TUESDAY. A THIRD WAVE OF
SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS IS EXPECTED TO
OCCUR LATE TUESDAY MORNING THROUGH THE AFTERNOON HOURS. A FORTH
WAVE OF IS POSSIBLE TUESDAY NIGHT, BUT THIS MAY JUST BE A BLEED
OVER FROM THE DIURNAL CONVECTION. ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS SHOULD
CONTINUE ANYWHERE OUTSIDE OF THESE TWO SYSTEMS. AS THEY SAY,
TIMING IS EVERYTHING. HOPEFULLY, WE HAVE THESE WAVES TIMED OUT AS
BEST AS POSSIBLE IN THIS CHALLENGING FORECAST PERIOD.
THE HIGHEST RAINFALL TOTALS THROUGH THE NEAR TERM WILL OCCUR
ACROSS OUR INLAND AREAS WHERE ADDITIONAL WIDESPREAD AMOUNTS FROM
0.5 TO 1.5 INCHES OF RAIN IS FORECAST. LOCALLY HIGHER AMOUNTS UP
TO 3 INCHES ARE POSSIBLE. SPC HAS OUR INLAND AREAS IN A SLIGHT
RISK OF SEVERE WEATHER ON TUESDAY, AND A FEW OF THE STRONGER
BOWING SEGMENTS MAY HAVE GUSTY WINDS TO 60 MPH.
HIGH TEMPERATURES TUESDAY SHOULD RANGE FROM 88 TO 92 DEGREES, WITH
APPARENT TEMPERATURES (HEAT INDICES) IN UPPER 90S TO LOWER 100S.
LOW TEMPERATURES TONIGHT AND MONDAY NIGHT SHOULD BE BETWEEN 68 TO
76 DEGREES. A LOW RISK OF RIP CURRENTS IS FORECAST THROUGH TUESDAY
NIGHT. /22
WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY...
THE REMAINDER OF THE WEEK LOOKS UNSETTLED. AN UPPER LOW CENTERED
OVER THE UPPER MIDWEST WEDNESDAY OPENS UP AND TRANSITIONS INTO A
LARGE UPPER TROF, WHICH SLIPS EASTWARD OVER THE EASTERN CONUS
THURSDAY INTO FRIDAY. IT'S AT THE BASE OF THIS FEATURE, THE
EXPECTATION IS THAT ROUNDS OF MID LEVEL IMPULSES WILL CONTINUE TO
TRANSLATE OVER THE DEEP SOUTH. AT THE SURFACE, A SURFACE LOW
CENTERED OVER THE OH RIVER VALLEY WEDNESDAY LIFTS NORTHWARD OVER
THE GREAT LAKES THURSDAY. A TRAILING FRONT SINKS SOUTHEAST INTO
THE FORECAST AREA WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND THURSDAY AND STALLS NEAR OR
JUST OFF THE COAST EARLY FRIDAY. WITH THE FRONTAL SUPPORT ALONG
WITH THE PASSAGE OF MID-LEVEL IMPULSES OPERATING ON SUFFICIENTLY
DEEP ENVIRONMENTAL MOISTURE, ROUNDS OF SHOWERS AND STORMS LOOK TO
REMAIN THE STORY AT LEAST THROUGH EARLY IN THE DAY FRIDAY. SOME
STORMS STRONG TO PERHAPS MARGINALLY SEVERE MID TO LATE WEEK.
CONSIDERING THE FLOW AND THE REPEATED PASSAGE OF LARGER SCALE LIFT
WEDNESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY FAVORING SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS
SHOWERS/STORMS, WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR FOR MAINLY NUISANCE TYPE
FLOODING CONCERNS WITH THE COAST OUTLOOKED FOR A MARGINAL RISK OF
EXCESSIVE RAINFALL. A GENERAL 1-3 INCHES OF ADDITIONAL RAINFALL
POSSIBLE IN GRIDDED QPF, BUT LOCALLY HIGHER AMOUNTS ARE QUITE
POSSIBLE. THE FRONT MOVES SOUTH OF THE AREA AND BEGINS TO DRY
THINGS OUT BY LATE FRIDAY NIGHT AND INTO THE WEEKEND. SLIGHT
CHANCE OF SHOWERS/STORMS RETURNS MONDAY. /10

(00Z TAFS)
ISSUED AT 637 PM CDT MON MAY 26 2025
THE LEADING EDGE OF A SOLID LINE OF MODERATE SHOWERS WITH
EMBEDDED SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS APPROACHING THE I-65 CORRIDOR
WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE EASTWARD. THE ENTIRE LINE CONTINUES TO
WEAKEN, AND WILL FIZZLE COMPLETELY BY 27/03Z (10 PM LOCAL). SOME
STORMS MAY BE STRONG UNTIL THEN, WITH PERIODS OF MVFR/IFR
CONDITIONS OCCURRING WITH THE CONVECTION. MVFR CEILINGS AND MVFR
VISIBILITIES DUE TO LIGHT FOG WILL LIKELY OCCUR TONIGHT ACROSS
MUCH OF THE AREA, ESPECIALLY ALONG AND NORTH OF US HIGHWAY 84.
ISOLATED SHOWERS ARE EXPECTED TO REDEVELOP LATE TONIGHT INTO
TUESDAY MORNING. OTHERWISE, VFR CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL THROUGH
NOON TUESDAY. /22
MARINE
ISSUED AT 418 PM CDT MON MAY 26 2025

MODERATE ONSHORE FLOW WILL PREVAIL THROUGH THURSDAY, BECOMING
WESTERLY AND THEN NORTHERLY FRIDAY INTO THE WEEKEND. /22
