.NEAR TERM /Now Through Wednesday/...A surface boundary lifts back
northward across the area this afternoon into evening likely
focusing best chances for thunderstorms in the vicinity of the
I-65 corridor. Expect scattered to at times numerous showers and
thunderstorms across the area late afternoon into the evening
hours. Storms will be slow moving and pose a threat for localized
nuisance flash flooding. Afternoon highs are peaking in the lower
to middle 90's across the area. Showers and storms will slowly
diminish across the area into this evening, likely becoming more
focused over the marine area and coastal counties after midnight.
Lows tonight will dip into the lower to middle 70's with upper
70's along the coast.

Wednesday is a rinse and repeat of Tuesday, but showers and
thunderstorms should be more plentiful during the morning hours
across southwestern AL and the FL panhandle. These spread inland
through the late morning and become more numerous into the
afternoon hours. Once again given PWATs up around 2" the rain may
be heavy with thunderstorms and pose a localized nuisance flash
flooding threat. Some of the storms may be on the strong side
given CAPE values of 2,000 to 3,000j/kg and any storm mergers
should help foster more robust updrafts. This may result in some
stronger wind gusts in spots from storms. Highs Wednesday may not
make it out of the upper 80's for most spots, however inland areas
of southeast MS into inland southwest and south- central AL may
manage to crack 90 degrees. MM/25
