.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 151 PM CDT Thu Jun 26 2025

Slightly drier conditions will prevail this afternoon as shortwave
ridging slowly moves out of the area. Looking at visible
satellite, a small remnant mesoscale convective system (MCV) left
over from storms in Georgia last night is slowly drifting
southwest. This MCV will likely provide enough ascent and low
level convergence to overcome some of the subsidence and result
in some scattered storms this afternoon. Coverage should be less
than the last few days and most areas should remain drier today.
Enjoy it because by Friday we will be back to our regularly
scheduled soggy summertime.

Sweet summertime rolls on through the week as we continue a
rather soggy start to summer. We will remain squished between an
upper low over Florida and upper level ridging across to our west.
This will keep us in a rather active pattern for the foreseeable
future. Rain chances look to increase each day through the weekend
and into next week as a series of shortwaves progress across the
great lakes. Moisture will increase with increasingly
southwesterly flow. With PWATS climbing to above 2 inches and
staying above 2 inches through the foreseeable future, expect
storms to be frequent each afternoon. Like most summertime storms,
we will have to keep an eye out for some strong wind gusts each
afternoon. The bigger concern will likely be heavy rainfall and
increased chances for flash flooding. With much of the area
running a few inches above normal for the month and plenty more
rain to come, grounds will eventually not be able to handle much
more rain. As a result, flash flooding risks could increase next
week. NBM 48 hour QPF means for Monday through Thursday run around
2 to 3 inches along the coast with the 90th percentile around 4-6
inches. While this doesn`t sound like much, these amounts at days
4-6 are rather significant and certainly lean towards some
concerns. The one good thing about the rain is that temperatures
will be more mild and as a result we will not be dealing with any
heat related products. BB-8

(00Z TAFS)
Issued at 618 PM CDT Thu Jun 26 2025

General VFR conditions were noted across the forecast area at
23z. A few thunderstorms were noted east of the Tombigbee River,
bringing local drops in conditions to mid level MVFR. This
activity is expected to continue through mid evening, maybe
increase in coverage a bit as a mid level system moves west over
the forecast area.

Later tonight through Friday is pretty much a same ole-same ole
sort of day, with showers and thunderstorms forming along and
south of the coast in the morning, then spreading inland during
the day. The greatest coverage and strength is expected in the
afternoon. Low end MVFR conditions are possible in the strongest
storms, along with locally strong and direction variable winds.
