.KEY MESSAGES...
Issued at 637 PM CDT Wed Mar 11 2026

 - A line of severe thunderstorms will move through the area
   tonight with the potential for strong tornadoes (up to EF2 in
   intensity) and strong, damaging winds (70+mph).

 - High risk of rip currents for coastal Alabama and northwest
   Florida beaches late tonight through Thursday afternoon.

 - Strong marine winds late tonight through Thursday evening will
   create hazardous conditions for small craft operators.

.MESOSCALE UPDATE...
Issued at 600 PM CDT Wed Mar 11 2026

Southern stream mid/upper level impulse over southeast TX this
evening is ejecting east northeast. At the surface, a complex
pattern exists with main cold front draped from the eastern Great
Lakes, southwest to across central TX. Ahead of the front, a pre-
frontal trof of low pressure is set-up from the Mid-South to the
upper TX Coast. Along this boundary, waves of frontal low
pressure is causing an increase in ascent along with upper
support via speed max from ~90kt coming through the base of the
southern stream upper trof. Coincident with ascent, a plume of
deep Gulf moisture characterized by PWAT's 1.6 to 1.8" is
intersecting the front and along with sufficient environmental
instability (MLCapes ~1500 J/Kg) over western LA, a line of
convection is organizing. This line makes steady eastward
progression this evening with the latest CAM's in fairly good
support on what appears to be a potent convective line
approaching the western zones late this evening crossing into
southwest AL around midnight and continuing east through the
remainder of the area between 2 and 5 AM. The environment is
supportive of damaging winds perhaps up to/in excess of 70 mph in
enhanced rear-flank storm downdraft bowing line segments. The
latest outlook from the Storm Prediction Center indicates the
greatest impacts being probability of damaging winds at 30%, a
smaller % exists for tornadoes but the environment does support
the potential for a few strong tornadoes, especially those that
are spawned from more discrete/isolated storm cells lifting north
northeast that may form out ahead of the main line. Locally heavy
rains/high rain rates are possible too, but the fast eastward
progression of the line favors the flooding threat being limited.

.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 237 PM CDT Wed Mar 11 2026

A rather potent line of strong to severe thunderstorms will pass
through the area from late this evening through daybreak Thursday,
with the potential for strong tornadoes up to EF2 in intensity and
damaging winds up to 70 mph. Beach and marine hazards will also
impact the area with a HIGH rip current risk occurring from late
tonight through Thursday afternoon, and a Small Craft Advisory
remains in effect starting at 1am tonight and continues into
Thursday evening.

Synopsis...

An upper trough over east Texas this evening will advance eastward
over the lower Mississippi River region late tonight into Thursday
and become much less amplified in the process. A strong cold front
approaching from the northwest will pass through our area after
midnight, bringing gusty northerly winds late tonight through
Thursday afternoon. A much cooler and drier airmass behind the
front will only allow high temperatures Thursday to climb into
the lower to middle 60s inland and upper 60s along the coast. Low
temperatures Thursday night should fall into the upper 30s to
lower 40s inland, with middle 40s along the with coast. We may
need to issue Frost Advisory for our inland areas as recent
temperatures have been well above normal resulting in an early
growing season. Surface high pressure behind the front will
continue through the remainder of the week with temperatures
quickly warming back into the upper 70s and lower 80s over the
weekend. The next chance of rain will occur early next week as a
large upper trough is expected to dig south over the entire
eastern CONUS, followed by the passage of another cold front
sometime Monday night.

Severe Weather Potential...

Projected MLCape values in the pre-storm environment are now in
the 800 to 1200j/kg range and sfc-3km SRH values have increased
to around 300 m2/s2. In addition, sfc-6km Bulk Shear values are up
to between 55-65 kts. This moderate instability and shear is more
then enough to support an anticipated organized QLCS tonight with
strong to severe thunderstorms. The Storm Prediction Center has
our entire area outlooked for a Slight Risk (level 2 of 5) of
severe storms, and we are still messaging the potential for strong
tornadoes up to EF2 in intensity and damaging winds up to 70 mph.
Currently the anticipated timing calls for a few discrete severe
thunderstorms to develop out in front of the line by 8-10pm over
the far interior portions of southeastern Mississippi and
southwestern Alabama, with a slightly faster progression of the
line. As we head into the overnight hours, the leading edge of the
QLCS is expected to enter southeastern Mississippi and our
northwestern Alabama zones between 11pm-12am, spreading quickly
eastward to the I-65 corridor between 1am-2am, and exiting the
forecast area to the east by daybreak. Widespread rainfall totals
of 1-2 inches with locally higher amounts up to 3 inches is also
expected, but the overall progressive nature of this line should
limit the potential for flooding.

Beach Forecast: A MODERATE risk of rip currents will increase to
HIGH after midnight through Thursday before settling back to a LOW
risk by Friday through the weekend. Surf heights up to four feet
are also likely prior to the passage of a strong cold front. /22

.AVIATION...
(00Z TAFS)
Issued at 637 PM CDT Wed Mar 11 2026

MVFR to IFR ceilings will persist through the evening, especially
near the coast. A line of strong to severe storms will quickly
slide across the area this evening and overnight ahead of a cold
front. Expect brief reductions in visibility as this line quickly passes
through the area. Storms will be capable of producing gusty,
erratic winds and a few tornadoes. Southerly winds will increase
with gusts as high as 20-25 knots. Winds quickly become northwesterly
in the wake of the cold front. 07/mb

.MARINE...
Issued at 237 PM CDT Wed Mar 11 2026

Southerly to southwesterly winds increase through midnight ahead
of a line of strong to severe thunderstorms approaching from the
west. This line of storms is expected to pass over the marine area
after midnight through daybreak Thursday. A Small Craft Advisory
remains in effect starting at 100 AM tonight and continues into
Thursday evening as winds turn northerly in the wake of a strong
cold front. Light easterly flow becomes established Friday through
Saturday morning, followed by a light onshore flow through the
remainder of the weekend. /22
