(Now through Thursday)
Issued at 340 PM CDT Wed Jul 24 2024
Through Thursday, an upper level low organizes over the eastern
Southern Plains/Lower Mississippi River Valley, with the upper ridge
remaining over eastern portions of the Southeast. This creates a
decently strong band of zonal upper flow (for the Southeast in the
summer) just northwest of the forecast area. On the east side of
this zone is a band of increased subsidence, with a corresponding
band of drier air moving northeast across the western half of the
forecast area tonight into Thursday morning. Rain chances see a drop
from previous days tonight into Thursday as a result, especially
northwest of I-65. Forecast area wide, a few may become strong to
marginally severe, with instability the limiter (MLCapes <
2000J/kg). At this time, the best, albeit low, chance is along the
coast or southeast of I-65 . With weak wind shear, summer pulse
severe storms are the expected type of storm.
With upper subsidence continuing, but a drop in moisture levels,
temperatures rise to around seasonal norms. Temperatures this
afternoon and Thursday are expected to top out in the upper 80s to
low 90s. Tonight, temperatures are expected to bottom out around 70
over northwestern portions of the forecast area, with mid to upper
70s south of I-10.
A Low Risk of rip currents is expected through Thursday, with an
uptick to moderate Thursday night into Saturday. From there, a drop
back to low is expected for the rest of the weekend into the coming
week.

(Friday through Wednesday)
Issued at 340 PM CDT Wed Jul 24 2024
An upper level ridge will gradually build westward from the
western Atlantic into the southeast states through the weekend.
The ridge moves west of the area early next week as an upper level
trough develops across the eastern states. At the sfc, high
pressure to our east will maintain a moist, southerly flow through
the period with precipitable water values over 2+ inches. This
will maintain the pattern of scattered to locally numerous showers
and storms starting near the coast in the morning and spreading
inland through the afternoon hours. While an isolated strong storm
with gusty winds cannot be ruled out, the severe weather risk
remains low. The main threat will be locally heavy rain and
frequent lightning. High temps each afternoon will be in the low
to mid 90s with heat index values approaching advisory criteria by
late this weekend. /13
