.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 124 PM CDT Sat May 24 2025

Through next week...

An organized MCS is progged to propagate along a surface boundary
across the area this afternoon and evening, with a primary threat
for wind and secondary low threat for hail and possibly a tornado.
The environment does appear primed for the organized complex to
maintain through much of the area this evening, including portions
of the Pine Belt. The perturbed northwest flow regime that supports
these complexes is likely to persist into at least early next week
if not mid next week. The meandering surface boundary along with
upper disturbances will keep rain and storm chances in the forecast
throughout next week. Some storms could become organized depending
on the environment which could become severe any given day, but this
possibility is dependent on day to day mesoscale features and
environments.

By late next week, the larger scale long wave trough digs south and
may bring an airmass change, which would decrease our chances for
rain and storms. But it is also a possibility that the front stalls
before any such airmass change could occur, in which case the
unsettled weather will remain. I will note that with the previous
rounds of unsettled weather, guidance has trended closer to
climatology with little airmass change. So it is reasonable to think
that rain and storms will stick around, with southeast ridge
remaining weak.

The additional rainfall expected from these storms over the next
week could push us into record territory for the month of May.
Localizing flooding cannot be ruled out with heavier rain throughout
the week./SAS/
