.DISCUSSION... Issued at 1229 AM CDT Fri Sep 5 2025
A large upper trof over the central and eastern CONUS slowly progresses to become oriented over the eastern states through Sunday, and in the process an associated surface low well off to the north brings a cold front through the forecast area Saturday into Saturday evening. A modest sea/land breeze circulation exists before the front moves through which may be sufficient to kick off a few spotty showers/storms each afternoon (mainly near the coast), but coverage continues to look too limited to mention with pops. The front will be fairly weak when it moves through, and have continued to just have slight chance pops over a portion of interior southeast Mississippi and Choctaw county Alabama on Saturday. Dry conditions follow for Sunday as a large surface high builds into the eastern states.
The upper trof weakens and mostly lifts off to the north on Monday, then an upper trof reforms over the central states Monday night and slowly progresses into the eastern states through Wednesday. It appears that a series of modest shortwaves in the easterlies may meanwhile move into the forecast area on Tuesday then become entwined with the base of the upper trof as it progresses into the region. This looks to be sufficient to support slight chance to chance pops on Tuesday over the southern and central portions of the area, with slight chance pops mostly over the coastal counties on Wednesday. Dry conditions then return to the area on Thursday as the upper trof advances a bit further eastward, although cannot rule out that small pops could eventually become necessary along and east of I-65 depending on how the upper pattern plays out.
Highs on Friday and Saturday will be mostly 90-95 then trend cooler by Monday to 85-90, with similar values following for Tuesday and Wednesday. Thursday will be a bit warmer and generally around 90. Lows Friday night will be in the lower 70s, then trend cooler through Sunday night to range from around 60 well inland to the mid/upper 60s near the coast. Monday night through Wednesday night tend to range from the mid 60s inland to around 70 at the immediate coast. A low risk of rip currents is anticipated through Monday night, then a moderate risk follows for Tuesday. /29

.MARINE... Issued at 1229 AM CDT Fri Sep 5 2025
A mostly light diurnal flow will continue through Saturday with an onshore flow developing in the afternoon then becoming offshore at night. A northerly flow follows for Sunday and strengthens Sunday night before diminishing on Monday. A moderate to occasionally strong northeasterly flow develops Monday night then diminishes somewhat on Tuesday as it becomes easterly. Will need to monitor for Small Craft Exercise Caution or potential Small Craft Advisory conditions over the open Gulf waters late Sunday night into Monday morning and again late Monday night into Tuesday morning. No other impacts are anticipated other than higher winds and seas near storms. /29
