.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 120 AM CDT Sun Jun 29 2025

An upper level shortwave system has settled over the eastern 
Southeast, with another over the Caribbean along with an active 
upper pattern over the northern half of the Conus. All this upper 
energy comes together into the coming week, organizing a mean upper 
trough over the eastern Conus, with a bit deeper upper low over the 
Gulf. In combination with a very moist airmass over the Gulf and 
Southeast, the forecast area and nearby enters into a wet pattern, 
with scattered to numerous daily showers and thunderstorms into 
Tuesday. This convection is expected to form south of the coast 
overnight, then shift inland during the day. Instability is modest 
for this time of the year (MLCapes in the 1000-1500J/kg range, with 
DCapes dropping into the 200-500J/kg range) through this period, 
limiting the chances of strong to severe storms. The wet airmass 
along with modest instability will allow the expected convection to 
be efficient rainers. Weak deep layer winds will limit storm 
movement, allowing localized very heavy rains to cause localized 
water issues, mainly over our coastal counties and nearby. 

Tuesday night through Wednesday, a strong upper level shortwave 
system moves into the eastern mean upper trough. A weak cold front 
moves south over the Southeast in response, with a significantly 
drier airmass behind. An upper ridge builds north over the Plains 
mid week, shifting itself and the eastern upper trough east 
through the end of the week. Shortwave energy at the base of the 
eastern upper trough pinches off, forming an upper circulation off 
the Florida Atlantic coast. PoPs drop through the end of the week 
into the weekend in response. 

The wet pattern Sunday through Tuesday will drop high temperatures 
to below seasonal norms. Upper 80s to low 90s today will drop into 
the mid to upper 80s for Monday and Tuesday. High temperatures rise 
through the end of the week as the upper ridge approaches, rising 
into the low to mid 90s by the weekend. Heat indices topping out in 
the upper 90s to low 100s today drop into the mid 90s to around 100 
for Monday and Tuesday. Heat indices then rise through the end of 
the week, though the drier airmass will temper the rise. 100-107 
degree heat indices are expected by Saturday. Low temperatures are 
expected to see a more steady day to day curve, with low to mid 70s 
expected over and north of I-10, mid 70s to near 80 expected over 
areas south of I-10 to the coast.

A larger tidal cycle will work with a modest onshore swell to bring 
a Moderate Risk of Rip Currents to area beaches the beginning of the 
week. The Rip Risk drops to a Low Risk the latter half of the week 
as the tidal cycle decreases and the onshore swell drops.

Looking well outside of the Southeast, TD2 has formed over the Bay 
of Campeche, and is expected to move northwest over Mexico, well 
southwest of the forecast area. No effects are expected from this 
storm at this time. /16

(12Z TAFS)

VFR conditions are generally expected throughout most of the day 
with brief restrictions (lower ceilings and visibility) during any
thunderstorms today. Isolated storms along the coastline this
morning will continue for the next 2-3 hours before scattered 
showers and storms develop this afternoon into the early evening 
hours across the entire area. Calm winds will increase to 5-10 
knots by late morning and turn southerly to southwesterly by 
early afternoon before becoming light and variable again this 
evening. 07/mb
