KEY MESSAGES

Issued at 610 AM CDT Mon Jun 15 2026 - A MODERATE risk of rip currents will continue the first half of the week for coastal Alabama and northwest Florida beaches, becoming a HIGH risk on Wednesday.

- Coverage of showers and thunderstorms increases significantly for today into midweek bringing the potential for heavy rainfall and localized flash flooding.

UPDATE

Issued at 610 AM CDT Mon Jun 15 2026

Showers and thunderstorms have formed on the Al Gulf coast this morning, with an outflow moving south over open Gulf waters. Am expecting the current activity to expand inland and over the rest of area protected waters today. This is reflected in the current forecast, so no updates needed at this time. /16

DISCUSSION

Issued at 1254 AM CDT Mon Jun 15 2026

A cloudy and rainy week lies ahead as our region lies at the base of a longwave trough extending from the Rockies to the East Coast into midweek. Although the trough retreats northward midweek as an upper ridge builds over the eastern Gulf and western Atlantic, an upper low pressure area will move slowly northeastward along the Texas coast Tuesday and Wednesday before lessoning to a shortwave over the lower Mississippi River on Thursday. A continuous fetch of deep moisture will persist through Friday with PWATs mostly ranging from 2.2 to 2.4 inches.

Mid/upper level impulses and shortwave energy will move through the base of the longwave trough through Tuesday, and then along the eastern periphery of the shortwave through through Thursday. We will continue to focus our key messaging on the potential of localized flash flooding as much of the area remains under a Slight Risk of rainfall exceeding flash flood guidance Monday and Tuesday, followed by a Marginal Risk Wednesday and Thursday. Periods of heavy rainfall are possible at times with widespread total rainfall amounts inland areas ranging from 2.5 to 4.0 inches. Locally higher total up to 6 inches are possible across our far northern zones. Instances of flash flooding will occur where banding and prolonged training of thunderstorms with high precipitation rates occur. With the increase in clouds and rain, temperatures will not be nearly as hot with highs today mainly in the 80s, highs Tuesday in the middle 70s to middle 80s, followed by the middle to upper 80s through the remainder of the week. /22
