DISCUSSION

Issued at 405 AM CDT Sun May 24 2026

The wet weather pattern will continue across our region through the week ahead. This morning is a perfect example of what we will continue to see nearby. With abundant tropical moisture in place (PWAT values of 1.5-2.0 inches) and upper-level troughing affecting the region, one remnant MCV from yesterday's convection has decayed and drifted into north Mississippi while a second MCV developed from overnight convection along the Gulf Coast and is spinning noticeably in regional satellite and radar imagery over southeast Louisiana. This second system will steer northeast across Southeast Mississippi and central Alabama today, but the pattern could see other convection develop and organize in a similar fashion over the next several days. An appreciable change to the forecast really won't be felt until just after the current 7-day forecast period. Early next week, the pattern may shift enough to allow a cold front to push south (with drier air) toward our region. /NF/
