SHORT TERM
(Today through Sunday)
Issued at 336 AM CDT SAT JUL 27 2024
A mid level low over the Ozarks will begin to rotate northward today, as weak impulses within persistent south to southwesterly flow move over MS and AL. As these impulses interact with a surface front draped across the area, expect scattered to numerous showers and storms to develop by mid day with activity continuing through the afternoon and early evening. Temperatures will warm into the upper 80s to lower 90s.
The mid level low moves through the Mississippi River Valley tonight, opening up and merging with troughing over the northern CONUS Sunday. This will push a trough axis eastward across the area, suppressing mid level ridging to the Gulf coast. Expect widespread showers and storms through the day Sunday. With increased rain chances and cloud cover, highs will be in the lower 80s to lower 90s.
All storm activity this weekend will produce locally heavy rain, as PWs remain above 2 inches. Cannot rule out a strong wind gust, but sever storms are unlikely.

LONG TERM
(Sunday night through next Friday)
Issued at 336 AM CDT SAT JUL 27 2024
Monday through Friday.
The trough that has persisted to our west for the past week or more finally slides to our east by Monday and broad low level ridging builds in across much of the Southeastern CONUS. Ridging becomes more amplified in the upper levels over Texas, which will lead to more northwesterly flow aloft across Central AL.
A weak shortwave will move to our north and west Monday into Tuesday, leading to increased rain chances. After that, we'll see a steady decrease in rain chances with more sunshine each day across the area Tuesday through Friday. The low level ridging becomes more centered over Central AL towards the end of the week, leading to a gradual warming trend with highs in the mid 90s.

(12Z TAFS)
Issued at 639 AM CDT SAT JUL 27 2024
Mid and high level clouds continue to stream across the area this morning, with light winds. A few showers have already developed, and expect additional showers to develop through the morning hours with SHRA/VCSH at terminals by 16-18Z. Chances for thunder increase by 18Z, and have included TSRA in tempos. Scattered to numerous coverage is expected through the afternoon and early evening. Winds will be 5-6kts from the southeast by the afternoon.
Isolated to scattered showers and storms could linger Saturday night into Sunday morning, with cigs falling below 3kft. Will also need to watch for fog development early Sunday morning.

FIRE WEATHER
The wet/humid pattern continues through the early part of next week with Min RHs remaining in the 60-80% through at least midweek. 20ft winds will be generally light out of the southeast over the weekend, shifting more southwesterly on Monday.
