A subtle shortwave trough transits the area this afternoon,
allowing for an isolated coverage of showers and storms this
afternoon into early evening. In the wake of this feature, the
region returns to a dry forecast as we go into Tuesday. Afternoon
temperatures remain well above normal today and Tuesday, with
highs topping out in the lower to middle 90`s. Overnight lows will
remain in the middle 60`s over the interior with middle to upper
60`s nearer the coast through Tuesday night.
A transient shortwave will push across the forecast area
Wednesday, allowing for isolated to locally scattered showers and
storms to develop once again. Best coverage will be across the
western half of the forecast area where better forcing will exist.
Another more potent upper trough will pivot across the forecast
area as we head into Thursday and Thursday night, with a cold
front expected to move through the area sometime Thursday night
into early Friday morning. The trough amplifies Thursday taking on
a neutral tilt by Thursday night. This will allow for our best
chance at showers and thunderstorms so far this month Thursday
into Thursday night, with scattered to numerous showers and
thunderstorms expected. An overlap of around 30 knots of deep
layer shear, MLCAPE values around 1,000j/kg, and adequate forcing
Thursday into early Thursday evening may help to set the stage for
a low end threat of severe weather. Confidence remains low at
this time given differences in how forecast guidance is handling
the troughs evolution and magnitude of instability, however a low
end threat for strong to damaging wind gusts may exist for
portions of the forecast area Thursday into early Thursday
evening. Afternoon highs Wednesday top out in the lower to middle
90`s, with much cooler temperatures Thursday in the lower to
middle 80`s owing to ample cloud cover and shower/thunderstorm
coverage. Lows Wednesday night only fall into the upper 60`s over
the interior and lower to middle 70`s nearer the coast.
A cold front passes through the area Thursday night into Friday
and the aforementioned upper trough either moves east of the
forecast area into the Mid-Atlantic states or becomes a cutoff
low. Either way, it will move far enough east to put our area
underneath northerly to northwesterly flow aloft. This will usher
in drier air to round out the week into the weekend. Isolated to
scattered showers may linger mostly east of the I-65 corridor
Friday before the forecast returns to being dry as we head into
the weekend. Afternoon highs will top out in the middle to upper
80`s Friday, with upper 80`s and lower 90`s returning for the
weekend. Overnight lows will be noticeably cooler in the lower to
middle 60`s each night in the wake of the front. A few spots over
the interior may even see some upper 50`s for lows any given
night. A Low risk of rip currents remains in place for our Alabama
and Florida Panhandle beaches through Wednesday, becoming a
Moderate risk Thursday for the Florida Panhandle beaches. MM/25
