Issued at 1215 AM CDT Thu Oct 2 2025
Now through Wednesday...
An upper level trough organizes over the north-central and
northeastern Gulf coast into the weekend. As Imelda and Humberto,
located off the East coast, move off, a weak surface ridge over the
Appalachians strengthens and builds south over the Southeast,
creating a tight pressure gradient along the northern Gulf coast the
rest of the week through the weekend. Most of the forecast area will
be rain free as drier northerly air moves south over the Southeast
on the west side of the surface ridge, the exception being along and
south of the coast. A combination of better moisture levels, strong
low level dynamics in the strong easterly flow, along with several
easterly waves passing south of the Gulf coast, and added upper
weakness from the upper trough comes together allowing for daily
showers and thunderstorms to form. A building upper ridge over the
East coast will shift the upper trough westward Sunday into the
coming week. The surface ridge over the Appalachians rotates
clockwise in response, allowing Gulf moisture to move further inland
(guidance is advertising precipitable h20 values rising over 2" over
most of the forecast area by Monday). Precipitation returns forecast
area-wide Sunday on in response.
High temperatures well above seasonal norms Thursday (mid to upper
80s) drop through the rest of the week into the weekend before
bottoming out on Sunday (low to mid 80s), with its best chance of
rain this forecast. High temperatures rebound early in the coming
week as upper subsidence increases from the building East Coast
upper ridge. Low temperatures remain above seasonal norms, with the
coolest night being Thursday night, ranging from the upper 50s well
north of Highway 84 to upper 60s along the coast. The increasing
moisture levels, then increasing upper subsidence, will bring low
temperatures ranging from the the mid 60s to near 70 north of I-10 t
low 70s south to the coast.
Increasing easterly flow along the northern Gulf coast will bring a
High Risk of Rip Currents Thursday through the weekend.
