.KEY MESSAGES...
Issued at 306 PM CDT Mon May 25 2026

 - Multiple rounds of heavy rainfall leading to possible flash
   flooding will occur through at least Tuesday.

 - HIGH Risk for Rip Currents through at least Thursday for

.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 306 PM CDT Mon May 25 2026

KMOB and KEVX radars are detecting numerous to widespread showers
with embedded isolated to scattered thunderstorms across our
coastal area and the Gulf. Radar precipitation estimates and
surface observations are showing between 1.5 to 3.0 inches have
fallen across our coastal communities within the past 12 hours,
with up to 5 inches for western Stone county MS, where a Flash
Flood Warning remains in effect. These values taper off further
inland as the deeper convection wanes and rainfall rates drop.
Several banding features over the Gulf associated with an upper
shortwave being depicted on the current synoptic overview will
continue to move northward over the northwest Florida into south
central Alabama through late evening bringing an additional 1 to 3
inches of rain (locally higher) to those areas. Some of the CAMs
are hinting at an additional band of storms possibly developing
further to west over interior southeast Mississippi and southwest
Alabama late this afternoon into early evening bringing an
additional 1 to 2 inches of rain.

Overall, this large shield of precipitation will taper off by mid

Tuesday morning as the next wave we are monitoring over the north
central Gulf bring another round of widespread showers and
scattered thunderstorms to our entire forecast area through
afternoon Tuesday afternoon. The Flash Flood Watch for all of our
zones remains in effect through Tuesday evening. We will continue
to focus our key messaging on the potential of flash flooding our
warning area remains under a Slight Risk of rainfall exceeding
flash flood guidance through through Tuesday. Heavy rainfall is
possible with additional widespread rainfall amounts of 2 to 4
inches, locally as high as 6 inches as PWATs hover above 2 inches.
Instances of flash flooding will occur where banding and
prolonged training of thunderstorms with high precipitation rates
occur.

Beach Forecast - The risk for rip currents will remain HIGH
through at least Thursday for the coastal Alabama and northwest
Florida beaches. Offshore storms will only act to amplify the surf
and rip currents each day. /22
