.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 1241 PM CDT Thu Sep 10 2026

The upper ridge over the area will continue to weaken and move
east as a broad trough moves into the central plains. Ahead of
this trough, a weak frontal boundary will move into the Tennessee
Valley and stall before dissipating Friday night. Deep southerly
to southwesterly flow will aid to increase PWATs back to around
2.1-2.3". Weak troughing persists west of the MS River through
the weekend. These factors will combine to generate scattered to
locally numerous showers and thunderstorms each day, starting in
the morning near the coast and spreading inland through the day.
The ridge builds back across the area early next week, resulting
in lower rain chances and warming temps.

The clouds and rain will keep temps in the upper 80s and low 90s
through the weekend. Low to mid 90s return for the start of next
week. A moderate risk of rip currents continues through tonight
with a low risk expected through the remainder of the period. /13

.AVIATION...
(18Z TAFS)
Issued at 1241 PM CDT Thu Sep 10 2026

General VFR conditions were noted across the forecast area with
local MVFR levels in convection moving onshore closer to the coast
from an upper system centered over the western Louisiana Gulf coast.
This convection will continue closer to the coast through the
afternoon, with more developing inland. A downward turn will occur
overnight in the near coastal convection, but may still affect
coastal areas. This convection will move onshore around sunrise or a
bit before, with drops to mid MVFR levels possible in the
convection. General southerly winds 5 to 10 knots this afternoon,
around 10 knots along the coast, are expected into tonight, becoming
light inland from the coast. Winds are expected to remain in the 5
to 10 knots near the coast tonight. General southerly 5 to 10 knots
are expected Saturday morning, a bit stronger near the coast. /16
