.DISCUSSION... Issued at 1227 PM CDT Sat Sep 6 2025
06.12Z upper air maps show a long-wave upper trof with its axis aligned from the Great Lakes/Upper Midwest, southward across the MS Valley. Along the south and eastern flank of the upper trof and to the north of the local area was draped a surface front from the Appalachians, southwest across northern AL, central MS westward into central TX. Along this boundary, the highest deep layer moisture (PWAT`s from 1.5 to 1.9") extends from the TN Valley, southwest to central TX. Within the moisture axis, the favored east side of the upper trof and front to provide an enhancement of ascent, forecasters are seeing pockets of organized convection. As we go through the afternoon, the front is progged to slip southward as does the deeper moisture into our area to support the potential for a slight to lower end chance of showers and perhaps a storm as suggested by the short range ensemble high resolution guidance. Appears a diurnal mode is in place as activity is expected to dwindle tonight. Another impulse aloft passing east around the base of the upper trof on Sunday along with an inverted surface trof extending from the southeast to across the north-central FL Panhandle may be enough to squeeze out a slight chance PoP over a small portion of mainly the NW FL Panhandle. Otherwise, dry conditions anticipated as surface high pressure begins building into the local area.
The upper trof looks to remain aligned over the heart of the forecast area through the middle of the upcoming week. Meanwhile, an inverted surface stretched northeast to southwest over the northeast to central Gulf, slips slowly westward in an evolving low level easterly flow which would favor maintaining small chance PoPs, primarily along and southeast of I-65 Monday and along the southern half of zones Tuesday. Over the coastal waters, showers and storms look to see better coverage. Progressively drier air is anticipated to flow into the forecast area the remainder of the week.
Highs Sunday 85 to 90 interior and lower to mid 90s over the southern zones trend mostly in the mid to upper 80`s Monday and Tuesday. Upper 80`s to lower 90`s the remainder of the week. Lows look to remain mostly in the mid to upper 60`s interior to upper 60`s/lower 70`s coast. A low risk of rip currents is anticipated through Monday, then a moderate risk follows for Monday night through Wednesday. The guidance continues to reflect the possibility that a high risk of rip currents could set up for Tuesday. /10

.MARINE... Issued at 1227 PM CDT Sat Sep 6 2025
Front sinks southward into the northern Gulf, bringing a light to moderate northerly flow in its wake tonight into Sunday. Northeast flow strengthens Sunday night as high pressure builds before turning more easterly and relaxing on Monday. A moderate to occasionally strong east-northeasterly flow expected into the early half of next week. Seas to reflect a building trend the next few days before subsiding mid to late week. Will continue to monitor for need of Small Craft Exercise Caution or potential Small Craft Advisory conditions in the near term. No other impacts are anticipated other than higher winds and seas near storms. /10
