KEY MESSAGES

Issued at 158 PM CDT Tue Jun 9 2026

- Risk for rip currents increases to MODERATE late this week into the weekend for the northwest Florida beaches.

DISCUSSION

Issued at 158 PM CDT Tue Jun 9 2026

Isolated showers continue across far eastern portions of the area this afternoon in a zone of higher deep layer moisture and weaker upper ridging. These showers and isolated thunderstorms will quickly end this evening with patchy fog likely developing again overnight. An upper level ridge will build eastward across the area later today into tonight and continue across the region through the end of the week. Meanwhile, a drier mid/upper level airmass will move into the area from the west and this will likely keep much of the area rain-free tomorrow and Thursday. The ridge weakens late in the week into the weekend as a weak front moves south into the Tennessee Valley. The weakening ridge along with increasing moisture will bring a return of diurnally driven scattered showers and thunderstorms for the weekend.

Temperatures will be on the increase as we move into the middle to latter half of the week with highs topping out in the mid to low 90s for inland areas and upper 80s at the beaches late this week. Heat index values will rise to 100-105 once we get late in the week and into the weekend.

Beach Forecast - The risk for rip currents remains low through Thursday for the coastal Alabama beaches. Probabilistic guidance begins to trend upward late in the week with a MODERATE risk expected by Friday afternoon for the northwest Florida beaches. /13
