Issued at 104 AM CDT Sun Sep 7 2025
Longwave troughing over the Great Lakes region will begin to lift
away to the northeast on Monday. In its wake, a weak, residual
trough is expected to linger across the southeast US through the
week before moving off into the western Atlantic by next weekend.
At the surface, a frontal boundary has pushed through the area
this past evening, with another, stronger cold front currently
across northern Alabama/Mississippi. This second front will push
through the area later today and will eventually stall over the
northern/central Gulf. Behind it, a much drier airmass will filter
in, likely causing dewpoints to plummet into the upper 40s to low
50s tonight. This push of drier air will be very brief, however,
as high pressure to our north will anchor itself over the
Appalachians by Monday afternoon. Initially, this will allow for
moisture to surge into the local area from the east, potentially
allowing for isolated to scattered showers and storms to develop
across the southern half of the the area on Monday and Tuesday
afternoons. By late Tuesday into Wednesday, guidance suggests that
another cold air damming event could set up across the southeast
US as low pressure systems attempt to develop along the stalled
front off the US east coast and the high lingers over the
Appalachians. If it manages to reach us, it probably will not
result in cooler temperatures, but guidance does suggest that it
could lead to drier conditions and lower dewpoints for the
remainder of the week and into the weekend. Highs through the
period will generally be in the upper 80s to low 90s. With the
initial push of direr air, lows tonight will likely cool into the
low to mid 60s across the region. Lows through the remainder of
the period will range from the mid to upper 60s inland to the low
70s along the immediate coast. A Low Risk of rip currents
continues through Monday, increasing to a High Risk by Tuesday as
strong marine winds gain a more easterly component. The rip
current risk slowly subsides back to a Low risk by Thursday. /96

.MARINE...
Issued at 104 AM CDT Sun Sep 7 2025
Northerly to northeasterly winds are beginning to develop as a
front pushes across the local marine zones. Over the next few
days, winds will increase to moderate to strong each night through
the morning hours, and will briefly weaken to light to moderate
during the afternoon hours. A Small Craft Advisory is in effect
from late this evening through late Monday morning for our local
Gulf waters, and another advisory may become necessary for Monday
night into Tuesday morning. Exercise caution headlines will be in
place for our local bays and sounds. A moderate easterly flow
becomes established by Tuesday and lingers through midweek. /96
