.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 107 PM CST Mon Feb 2 2026

Surface high pressure centered across our area will move slowly
eastward through Tuesday, allowing light surface winds to shift
southwesterly, thus bringing a moderation in temperatures. Low
temperatures tonight will range from 33 to 38 degrees inland,
around 40 degrees closer to the coast, and range from 45 to 50
degrees along the beaches. High temps on Tuesday will be about 2
to 7 degrees above normal, ranging from 65 to 70 degrees.

Northwest flow aloft will become zonal late tonight through
Tuesday, and then southwesterly midweek as a shortwave approaches
our region from the northwest. Latest model guidances are now
indicating a weak surface low pressure area developing across
southeast Mississippi into east central Alabama by midnight
Tuesday night, and advancing eastward across central and southern
Alabama through noon Wednesday. An associated cold front on the
back side of the low is expected to pass through our area late
Tuesday night through Wednesday morning. Numerous to widespread
showers will occur Tuesday night ahead of the shortwave and cold
front. Most of these showers will be southeast of the I-65
corridor Wednesday morning, and then taper off from northwest to
southeast in the afternoon. A thunderstorm or two is possible
along the Florida coast late Tuesday night into early Wednesday
morning. Dry weather conditions are forecast through the remainder
of the week and over the weekend. There will be a brief drop in
temperatures Wednesday night through Thursday night in the wake of
the front, but highs Friday will rebound into the lower to middle
60s, and range from 65 to 70 degrees over the weekend.

Beach Forecast: A LOW risk of rip currents will occur through
Tuesday afternoon, briefly becoming MODERATE Tuesday night as
southwesterly winds increase over the Gulf, and remaining MODERATE
through Wednesday afternoon. A LOW risk of rip currents will
resume through Friday, but may once again become a MODERATE risk
by the weekend. /22
