scattered SHRA/TSRA that will develop across portions of our
region this afternoon. Easterly winds will remain elevated between

.NEAR TERM UPDATE...
Issued at 125 PM CDT Wed Jun 19 2024

The forecast is generally on track this afternoon, but we did make
some slight adjustments to afternoon POPs, mainly to expand the
slight chance of showers into inland portions of southwest AL and
southeast MS this afternoon as a narrow plume of moisture advances
westward across our region. 

Lifeguards are reporting double red flags flying at Gulf Shores,
Orange Beach, Pensacola Beach, Navarre Beach, and Destin as surf
remains very rough with breakers up to 5-7 feet along with
numerous/frequent rip currents. No changes were made to the
ongoing High Surf Advisory product in effect through 7 PM
Thursday. Surf should slowly subside into Friday. We did go ahead
and extend the High rip current risk out into Friday night. /21
