(This evening through Tuesday)
Issued at 1226 PM CDT MON JUN 9 2025

This afternoon.

A departing shortwave was moving east of the forecast area and
with it, the lingering shower activity was over the east-central
counties, extending southwest across our south-central counties.
Skies have been mostly sunny across the far southeast and now
clearing skies are being experienced across the west-central
portions of the area. As low-level temperatures increase through
solar insolation, expect chances for additional showers and storms
to increase as activity looks to develop and approach the area,
potentially affecting portions of the area by mid to late
afternoon and continuing into the evening. A few of the storms may
be severe with damaging winds being the primary risk. This risk
is conditional on lingering showers continuing to decrease and
clouds thinning with time through the rest of the afternoon to
produce sufficient low-level destabilization. Winds will remain
from the south at 4-8 mph. High temperatures will range from the
upper 70s far east to to the upper 80s south.

Tonight.

Longwave troughing will move east, extending from over the
Western Great Lakes south to over much of the Tennessee Valley
Region while a weak surface front will approach the area from the
northwest. Expect lingering showers and a few storms to persist
across the area with greatest chances becoming confined to the
southeast portion of the area overnight. Some patchy fog will be
possible across the area in the early pre-dawn hours on Tuesday
due to recent heavy rainfall and moist ground conditions. Winds
will be from the southwest at 2-4 mph. Low temperatures will range
from the mid 60s far north to the upper 60s southwest.

Tuesday.

Longwave troughing will remain over much of the Ohio and
Tennessee Valley Regions while the surface front advances
southeast, becoming positioned from southwest to northeast roughly
along the Interstate 59 corridor by Tuesday morning. Skies will
initially range from mostly clear far northwest to mostly cloudy
south then become partly cloudy north and remain mostly cloudy
south. Scattered (40-60%) showers with isolated (25-45%)
thunderstorms are forecast across the southern third of the area
while the northwest counties will have the lowest chances. Winds
will be from the west to southwest at 4-8 mph. High temperatures
will range from the lower 80s far east to the upper 80s southwest.

.LONG TERM...
(Tuesday night through next Sunday)
Issued at 227 PM CDT MON JUN 9 2025

Latest guidance came in a bit cooler for Friday through Sunday. Heat
indices still appear to be in the mid 90s this weekend, but are
currently forecast to remain below 100F. Otherwise, rain and
thunderstorm chances are high Friday afternoon through Sunday
afternoon. Any confidence on severe potential remains low.

Previous long-term discussion:
(Tuesday night through next Sunday)
Issued at 159 AM CDT MON JUN 9 2025

Ridging begins to build in across the region on Wednesday as the
main upper level trough axis shift eastward. The previously stalled
frontal boundary should remain to our south, which should help
suppress the higher rain chances to the southern half of Central AL
for Wednesday. By Thursday, another trough has moved into the Great
Plains, stretching into the Western Gulf. This will lead to
increased advection of deep moisture across Central AL Thursday
through the weekend, leading to higher rain chances. The biggest
question with this activity is coverage and forcing - guidance hints
at some weak shortwaves that could move through Friday into Sunday
leading to higher than typical coverage for thunderstorm activity.
Some of these storms could be on the stronger side, but confidence
in any organized severe threat is low.

We`ll likely see increasing temperatures through the end of the week
with highs reaching the upper 80s to low 90s and heat indices
touching on triple-digits Friday through Sunday.
