.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 1036 PM CDT Sun Sep 6 2026

Hot and stormy weather conditions are once again expected this
afternoon across the region. Afternoon temperatures soar into the
middle to upper 90`s, hottest over interior areas west of the I-65
corridor. Most of the area should see afternoon dewpoints mix out
into the upper 60`s to lower 70`s inland, helping to temper heat
indices in the 100 to 107 range, with isolated spots nearing or
exceeding 108. Scattered to numerous showers and storms will
likely develop during the afternoon hours, especially for areas
south of the Highway 84 corridor. Dry air aloft will help bolster
thunderstorm downdrafts, with any storms capable of producing
strong, gusty winds. The lack of wind shear across the area should
keep the strong to severe storm threat limited. The deepest cores
and storm mergers will have the greatest propensity for producing
strong, locally damaging microbursts.

Upper ridging gradually spreads eastward across the region with
deep layer easterly flow becoming established Tuesday into
Wednesday. After this, ridging breaks down into late week as upper
troughing becomes established across the eastern CONUS. This
should keep us with a somewhat active pattern as subtle shortwaves
continue to ride the periphery of the ridge and upper troughing
gradually becomes more dominant. The expectation is for scattered
to locally numerous showers and storms each afternoon, with daily
highs in the lower to middle 90`s. Similar to early in the period,
any storms may be able to produce gusty to locally damaging winds
and heavy rainfall. Overnight temperatures stay steady state in
the lower to middle 70`s.

The rip current risk remains Low for Florida/Alabama beaches
throughout the period with the exception of Tuesday where a
Moderate risk is now forecast. This is thanks to stronger easterly
flow that becomes established across the area the first half of
the day Tuesday. MM/25

.AVIATION...
(06Z TAFS)
Issued at 1229 AM CDT Mon Sep 7 2026

Mainly quiet overnight with VFR prevailing, will monitor for
another round of SCT TSRA/SHRA developing early afternoon on
Monday, with periodic impacts to terminals possible resulting in
lower VIS/CIGs from heavy rain, gusty, erratic downburst winds all
leading to lower periods of flight categories. Otherwise, VFR
outside of this activity and will come to an end around sunset.

.MARINE...
Issued at 1036 PM CDT Sun Sep 6 2026

A generally light southwest to west flow prevails today. Light to
moderate easterly flow becomes established Tuesday and Wednesday.
Light to occasionally moderate onshore flow returns for the rest of
the week into the upcoming weekend. Seas generally remain around 1
to 2 feet this week. Scattered to numerous showers and thunderstorms
remain possible during the morning hours each day with the
potential to produce gusty winds and waterspouts. MM/25
