.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 248 PM CDT Tue May 26 2026

Regional radar mosaic is detecting numerous to widespread showers
with embedded isolated to scattered thunderstorms north of the
I-10 corridor. Additional development is expected late this
afternoon in early evening south of I-10 as convection develops
over the Gulf and moves onshore. This precipitation will taper off
by mid to late evening with our area remaining largely rain- free
through the remainder of the night. A continuous stream of upper
mini-shortwaves moving over the region in a deep southerly to
southwesterly flow will result in a steady stream of moisture to
fuel the ongoing wet weather pattern with additional shower and
thunderstorm activity through the remainder of the week,
especially during the daytime hours with decreasing stability from
diurnal heating. The highest chance of precipitation for the
remainder of the week through the upcoming weekend will occur
north of I-10 where numerous to widespread showers with embedded
isolated to scattered thunderstorms are expected. Scattered to
occasional numerous showers and thunderstorms are expected south
of I-10. Widespread rainfall amounts for the remainder of the week
through the upcoming weekend are expected to range from 1.5 to
2.0 inches inland, and from 1.0 to 1.5 inches near the coast.
Localized amounts of 2 to 4 inches will likely occur through the
period. We do not anticipate any organized severe weather, but
some of the stronger storms will have the potential of producing
gusty surface winds and frequent lightning. In addition, some of
the slower moving storms will be capable of producing localized
nuisance flooding.

Beach Forecast - Given the consistent onshore flow signal over the
coming days, the risk for rip currents will be HIGH through at
least Thursday for the coastal Alabama and northwest Florida
beaches. Offshore storms will only act to amplify the surf and rip
currents each day. /22

MVFR conditions will prevail through most of the forecast with
scattered to numerous showers and thunderstorms possible mainly
north of the I-10 corridor. Storms should generally spread inland
throughout the evening leading to localized IFR visbys with the
heaviest storms. Rain should subside just prior to midnight with
MVFR ceilings prevailing overnight. Winds will remain light out of
the southeast. BB-8

higher winds will occur near thunderstorms. MM/25
