.NEAR TERM...
(Today and tonight)
Issued at 138 AM EDT Mon Jun 9 2025
Active weather over the next 24 hours will be fueled by an upper
level shortwave racing eastward from lower Mississippi Valley into
the southeast states. A large cluster of strong to severe storms
over eastern Texas early this morning will race eastward in
association with it. Meanwhile, weak perturbations in the flow over
our area continue to fuel scattered showers and thunderstorms early
this morning. As we head through the day, the moist and unstable
airmass will continue to allow for scattered showers and
thunderstorms across the forecast area, most concentrated across the
north and west portions of the area closest to the stronger upper
level support. Given ample instability and relatively strong deep
layer shear values for summer, a few strong to severe storms cannot
be ruled out with gusty winds and maybe some hail. Locally heavy
rainfall will also be possible. Highs today will generally range
from the upper 80s to lower 90s.
For tonight, as the upper level shortwave moves just north of the
area, a continuation of scattered to numerous and showers and
thunderstorms is expected, again most concentrated across the north
and west half of the area. Gusty winds, frequent lightning, and
locally heavy rain will continue to be the main threats. Overnight
lows will be muggy, generally in the low to mid 70s, except upper
70s along the coast.

.SHORT TERM...
(Tuesday through Wednesday night)
Issued at 138 AM EDT Mon Jun 9 2025
The active southwesterly flow regime we`ve been under for the last
few days looks to continue Tuesday and into Wednesday evening. With
high precipitable water content thanks to deep-layer tropical
moisture, we`ll still continue a somewhat active shower/thunderstorm
pattern. However, with the upper level trough pulling out of the
region chances could be a little more scattered and not as
widespread as recent days but still above normal for this time of
year.
While a organized threat for severe weather is not expected typical
summertime isolated pulse-severe threats appear possible. Main
concerns would be a brief damaging wind gust in any of the stronger
storms.

.LONG TERM...
(Thursday through Sunday)
Issued at 138 AM EDT Mon Jun 9 2025
Model ensemble guidance is in fairly good agreement on low-level
flow becoming south and southeasterly from Thursday into the
upcoming weekend as the Atlantic High noses westwards into the
Florida Peninsula. With precipitable waters likely remaining at
least above normal through the period, this should keep daily
chances for showers and thunderstorms in place across the area.
However, with deep-layer moisture not as high as earlier this week,
and the southeasterly flow regime in place, expect a more typical
diurnal trend and slightly lower rain chances from Thursday into the
weekend.

.AVIATION...
(06Z TAFS)
Issued at 114 AM EDT Mon Jun 9 2025
Unsettled conditions are expected across the area today with
multiple rounds of showers and thunderstorms through the period. The
best chance of seeing thunderstorms looks to be at ECP, DHN, and
ABY, although scattered thunderstorms are also expected to be in the
vicinity of TLH and VLD. Outside of storms, VFR conditions are
expected with the exception of some lower ceilings at VLD early this
morning.
&&
.MARINE...
Issued at 138 AM EDT Mon Jun 9 2025
High pressure with south/southwesterly winds will continue over
the waters for the next few days with seas forecast to be 2-3 feet
until midweek. Flow becomes more south and southeasterly by
Thursday and lightens which should allow seas to decrease to
about 1-2 foot seas. Showers and thunderstorms can be expected
each day and to be diurnally driven with greatest coverage likely
in the morning hours.
&&
.FIRE WEATHER...
Issued at 138 AM EDT Mon Jun 9 2025
Other than high dispersions this afternoon, fire weather concerns
are expected to remain minimal with a moist airmass in place and a
daily chance of showers and thunderstorms.
&&
.HYDROLOGY...
Issued at 138 AM EDT Mon Jun 9 2025
Locally heavy rain remains possible within any of the showers or
storms thanks to precipitable water values (PWATs) between 1.7" to
2.0", or near the 90th percentile for early-mid June. Isolated
flash flooding is a possibility for the next few days as clusters
of thunderstorms could train over the area, especially as we see
the soil continue to moisten with each round of showers and
storms. The best chance of that occurring is across southwest
Georgia, southeast Alabama, and the eastern Florida Panhandle.
There is a Slight (level 2 of 4) Risk for excessive rainfall in
these areas with a Marginal (1 of 4) for the rest of the region.
The Marginal risks continue through Tuesday. Fortunately, area
rivers and streams remain in good shape with gradual rises
possible.
