...New UPDATE...

.KEY MESSAGES...
Updated at 1013 AM CDT Sun Oct 26 2025

 - Dangerous beach and marine conditions are expected to continue
   today. Strong onshore winds will create a High Risk of life-
   threatening rip currents, high surf, and hazards to small
   craft.

 - Strong to severe storms are possible today. Storms that develop
   south of a warm front may pose the risk of becoming strong to
   severe, with damaging winds and a few tornadoes being the main
   threats.

 - A much colder airmass moves into the area later this week
   bringing the coldest air so far this season.

.UPDATE...
Issued at 1013 AM CDT Sun Oct 26 2025

An area of showers and thunderstorms continues to progress
eastward over the central Gulf coast. At the surface, a quasi-
stationary front/warm front was draped over southern MS crossing
across Mobile/Baldwin Co's. Along and south of the warm front, the
environment is more unstable where surface based CAPE is exceeding
1000 J/KG. Bulk Shear 45 to 60 Kts. Best 0-1 km SRH in excess of
150 M2/S2 to support persistent, rotating updrafts north of the
boundary over MS into western AL though is not aligned with the
better instability. Despite this, radar has shown several
northward moving cells primarily over the marine area representing
with couplets of rotation and resulting in a tornado threat.
Considering the position of the warm frontal boundary, helicity
and instability, Tornado watch 633 has been extended through noon
for George Co. MS, Mobile and Baldwin Co's in AL. A new watch is
entirely possible for portions of the local area going into the
afternoon. /10

&&

.UPDATE...
Issued at 759 AM CDT Sun Oct 26 2025

We continue to monitor the potential for a strong to severe storm
threat for today as instability associated with a very slow
northward moving warm front moves from the Gulf into far southeast
Mississippi and Coastal Alabama this morning. A Tornado Watch
remains in effect for Stone County Mississippi through noon, and
additional watches may be necessary further to the east and north
as mid/upper level forcing increases ahead of a mid-level
shortwave approaching from the west. It appears for the moment the
severe weather threat will remain low over the next several hours
as the instability axis needs time to cut into the surface ridge
across the eastern half of the forecast area. However, brief
periods of heavy rainfall and gusty winds are possible with the
stronger convection. In addition. we are beginning to see signs of
weak rotation over the Gulf on radar this morning, so there could
be a few waterspouts to contend with and we will keep an eye on
them as they approach the coast. /22

.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 110 AM CDT Sun Oct 26 2025

An upper trough will continue to progress toward the area today.
As this happens, increasing warm advection will bring a warm
front northward into coastal areas. South of this warm front, is
where the deeper moisture and most unstable airmass will reside.
Just how much inland progress the warm front makes today will
determine where any severe threat will set up as inland
progression will be blocked by a stable airmass across inland
areas. The most likely area for the warm frontal boundary will be
from southeast Mississippi southeast along coastal Mobile and
Baldwin counties and into the coastal areas of the western Florida
panhandle. Newer runs of the CAMs, are trying to show the
potential of two rounds again. A line of storms will approach
from the west later this morning and weaken by late morning into
the early afternoon. As the primary upper trough approaches later
in the day into the early evening hours, a second round develops
and moves eastward across the area. This round may have the better
chance of producing strong or severe storms as favorable jet
dynamics combine with increased instability and vertical shear
along and south of the warm front. However, the evolution of the
first round this morning will play a large part on just where and
how much development occurs later in the day. The mesoscale
details will be very tricky today and will require close
monitoring. The main threat will be damaging winds and large hail.
A brief tornado threat may evolve as well with any isolated
storms that develop south of the warm front and interact with the
boundary. In addition to the severe threat, there is the potential
for locally heavy rainfall resulting in potential flash flooding
of urban and poor drainage areas. This will depend on the
evolution of convection, with any training storms being the most
problematic.

Drier and cooler conditions move in late Monday into Tuesday as
the trough moves east of the area. A much stronger trough develops
over the eastern states during the latter half of the week. This
will send a strong cold front through the area late Tuesday night
into Wednesday with a much cooler airmass moving into the area.
Only isolated to scattered showers are expected with this front
due to the lack of significant moisture return. Highs will be in
the low to mid 60s inland to mid and upper 60s near the coast
Wed- Fri before moderating Saturday. Lows will fall into the low
to mid 40s across much of the area away from the coast. The
coldest night will likely be Thursday and Friday nights with some
upper 30s possible inland. /13

.AVIATION...
(06Z TAFS)
Issued at 110 AM CDT Sun Oct 26 2025

VFR conditions will prevail until daybreak, followed by ceilings
lowering to MVFR levels from west to east throughout the morning as
the leading edge of showers and thunderstorms approaches the
Tombigbee River. This will be a prolonged rain event, and the back
edge of the precipitation will not clear areas west of the Tombigbee
River until the end of the TAF cycle. Showers and storms will impact
terminals from late this morning through through the remainder of
the TAF period, with occasional IFR conditions covered by two PROB30
groups. Brief periods of LIFR/VLIFR conditions are also possible.
East-southeasterly winds increase to around 15 knots around mid
morning, with gusts to near 25 knots. /22

&&

.MARINE...
Issued at 110 AM CDT Sun Oct 26 2025

A moderate to strong southeasterly flow will continue through
this evening ahead of a cold front. A light to moderate northerly
flow returns for Monday into Tuesday. A stronger cold front
passes through the area Tuesday night, bringing a strong
northwesterly flow to the area Wednesday into Thursday. A light
to moderate northerly flow returns Friday. /13
