DISCUSSION

Issued at 1058 PM CDT Mon Sep 7 2026

A much tamer pattern sets up for the next couple days as drier air filters into the area. Overall temperatures will be closer to seasonable norms with highs in the upper 80's to lower 90's and lows in the lower to middle 70's. Rain chances will be minimal the next couple days, with perhaps an isolated shower or storm across southeast Mississippi today. With increasing easterly flow along the coast the rip current risk increases to a Moderate risk Tuesday into Wednesday, gradually relaxing back to a Low risk for Thursday into the weekend.

The latter part of the week we will see a pattern change with upper troughing gradually pushing into the region and upper ridging breaking down. This will allow for scattered to numerous showers and storms to return to the forecast areawide each afternoon into the weekend. With deep layer moisture increasing and much higher PWATs settling in, we'll likely see storms that are efficient rainfall producers. While there isn't a clear signal for any potential of flash flooding, I can't rule out isolated instances of flooding where any storms can train or sit over the same areas for prolonged periods.

Otherwise, mainly dry through the afternoon with the exception of an isolated TSRA/SHRA for areas mainly west into Mississippi or along the coast, then turning overall dry tonight with VFR prevailing.
