.SHORT TERM...
(Today and Tonight)
Issued at 259 AM EDT Sat Apr 25 2026

Fairly tricky mesoscale scenario is in store for us today into
tonight. Remnants of an MCS are currently eroding just west of the
area across portions of southern Alabama. Current Satellite trends
have essentially put the brakes on any forward progression of this
cloud cover. Should we get to daytime hours and this cloud deck is
completely eroded, or even mostly eroded, we might be able to tap
into some diurnal instability as the second MCS, currently over
Mississippi, dives southeast. This second MCS may brush across the
area, weakening as it moves south and east. The PV vort max
associated with this MCS may provide just enough forcing, that when
aided with diurnal forcing could spawn several showers and a couple
thunderstorms. High res model guidance has had a hard time on a run-
to-run basis resolving how convection will play out this afternoon.
As much as we need the rain, today`s rainfall is largely uncertain
as there could also be a scenario where minimal rainfall occurs as
subsidence (downward motion) along the edges of the MCS contribute
to convective inhibition. Overall, less than an inch of rainfall is
expected for places that do end up receiving rain, with the best
chances being across SE Alabama and SW Georgia.

Expect daytime highs generally in the 80s with overnight lows
generally in the low to mid 60s.

.LONG TERM...
(Sunday through Friday)
Issued at 259 AM EDT Sat Apr 25 2026

A backdoor density front looks to advect in lower dew points across
the region late Sunday afternoon into Tuesday morning as northeast
to easterly flow prevails. Temperatures will remain toasty in the
mid to upper 80s. Beyond this weekend mostly zonal flow aloft leads
to ripples in the flow, forcing weather across the region. Without
large scale subsidence in place these ripples along with diurnal
heating will allow for a low to medium chance of seeing daily
showers and a couple thunderstorms. Generally looking at Tuesday and
beyond, a lull is expected on Monday as brief ridging gets nudged
eastward by Tuesday.

Daytime highs will generally be in the mid to upper 80s with some
isolated low 90s. Overnight lows will generally be in the low to mid
60s.

(18Z TAFS)
Issued at 106 PM EDT Sat Apr 25 2026

Scattered showers and storms are expected today and may result in
temporary cig/vis restrictions. Outside of convection, VFR
conditions are expected today. Another round of fog/low stratus
may be possible overnight, especially in areas that receive rain
today.

.MARINE...
Issued at 259 AM EDT Sat Apr 25 2026

Light and gentle southeast breezes prevail into early Saturday
afternoon. A temporary turn to southwest and west flow is expected
from Saturday afternoon through Sunday, in response to a weak front
brushing by across Alabama and Georgia. East and southeast flow
returns Monday night into Tuesday, as high pressure builds again
along the U.S. Eastern Seaboard. Another front nears the
northeastern Gulf next Wednesday, causing winds to turn more
westerly.

.FIRE WEATHER...
Issued at 259 AM EDT Sat Apr 25 2026

MinRH values continue to increase and remain generally over 40
percent this weekend. This is thanks to daily afternoon sea breezes
and southerly flow increasing low-level moisture. There`s a chance
for wetting rain across southeastern Alabama and southwestern
Georgia this afternoon as a cluster or two of thunderstorms moves on
through. Periods of high dispersions are expected over the weekend
across southwestern Georgia and the Florida Big Bend. A backdoor
cold front slides in from the northeast later Sunday night into
Monday. This pulls down drier air over our Georgia districts Monday
with MinRH values forecast to drop to between 30 to 40 percent along
with breezy easterly winds.

.HYDROLOGY...
Issued at 259 AM EDT Sat Apr 25 2026

A couple chances to see some light rainfall amounts over the next
week as a few disturbances move across the region. However, with
around an inch of rainfall or less expected over the next week, any
rainfall would be hydrologically insignificant to improving ongoing
drought conditions. Isolated areas within thunderstorms may see
higher amounts, widespread thunderstorms are not expected.
