.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 151 PM CDT Fri Jul 11 2025

A typical summertime diurnal pattern continues through the 
forecast package as an upper high pressure area builds over the 
southeast states and northern Gulf over the weekend and into early
next week. We are expecting mainly scattered afternoon showers 
and thunderstorms through Tuesday, followed by scattered to 
occasional numerous afternoon showers and thunderstorms around
midweek. A surface ridge remains in place over the northern Gulf 
through Monday, keeping a light southwesterly to westerly flow 
over the forecast area. The wind flow becomes a bit disrupted 
Tuesday through midweek as a possible weak low pressure area forms
and meanders across the northeast Gulf. We will continue to see 
dewpoints elevated, and will need to monitor for heat index 
concerns early next week with apparent temperatures mostly ranging
from 102-107 degrees. At this time we are not expecting to issue 
any Heat Advisories as most indices should remain below our 108 
degree criteria. Pulse thunderstorms are possible each afternoon 
give ample instability and minimal shear, so we can't rule out a 
few strong storms with gusty winds, locally heavy rainfall, and 
frequent lightning.

Beach Forecast - The rip current risk remains LOW for the coastal 
Alabama and northwest Florida beaches through Saturday with a bump 
to a MODERATE risk expected by Sunday for the northwest Florida 
beaches. A LOW risk is then expected through the middle of next 
week. /22

across southeastern Mississippi into interior portions of 
southwestern Alabama through sunset. VFR flight category continues
through Saturday afternoon. Winds remain generally out of the 
west at around 5 to 10 knots during the day, relaxing below 5 
knots at night. MM/25
