Deaths and injuries are direct and indirect together, as the offices filed them. Damage is property and crops in the dollars of the year, not adjusted for inflation, and only where an office estimated it.
A north/south oriented trough axis extended from the Great Lakes to the Florida Panhandle and a ridge was centered over the Desert Southwest encompasses the rest of the country. That put the CWA right between both features. The frontal boundary associated with the trough stalled along the northern Gulf Coast. That front was the initial focal point for convection to begin developing early in the afternoon. That activity was been able to capitalize on very high instability. Quite robust thunderstorms produced several damaging wind events.

.SHORT TERM...
(Today through Wednesday)
Issued at 300 AM CDT Tue Jun 10 2025
Upper trough over the Great Lakes with the trough axis southward
to near Pensacola early this morning with upper ridging over the
Intermountain West. Main cluster of evening thunderstorms is off
to our east, with a smaller cluster well to the north over NE
Mississippi, and the next large cluster over west Texas. A very
warm and moist airmass (00z LIX precipitable water 2.07 inches)
remained over the area with early morning temperatures ranging
from the mid 70s to lower 80s with dew points in the 70s.
Main forecast issue will continue to be the threat for storms and
excessive rainfall. The evening LIX sounding essentially served
as an example of the near storm environment for the convection
that dumped over 3 inches of rain at Gulfport later in the
evening. Forecast soundings for midday today aren't quite that
moist, with precipitable water values more commonly in the 1.6 to
1.8 range. There's not really a well defined synoptic scale
forcing mechanism apparent during the day, so convection is more
likely to initiate due to differential heating around surface
boundaries. Instantaneous areal coverage may never exceed 30 or 40
percent today, but over the 12 hour period, 60 to 70 percent
doesn't appear to be unreasonable.
Shortwave ridging attempts to build over the lower Mississippi
River Valley on Wednesday, but we never really dry out, so it will
be another days of scattered showers and storms. If anything,
moisture levels may be a bit higher tomorrow, so we cannot really
back off of the high probabilities for the 12 hour period.
Temperatures the next couple days aren't really going to change
much from yesterday, with highs upper 80s and lower 90s. Overnight
lows likely to remain in the mid and upper 70s in most areas.

.LONG TERM...
(Wednesday night through Monday)
Issued at 300 AM CDT Tue Jun 10 2025
Upper troughing becomes more fully established across Texas on
Thursday, while the Bermuda high has a westward extension into the
eastern Gulf. In actuality, it is more of a weakness between
ridges to our east and west than a trough as such. But it will
serve as a focus for moisture just to our west. We will not see an
actual passage of the trough locally, as it will remain just to
our west until it lifts northeastward late in the weekend. Thus,
we are likely to see development of scattered showers and storms
pretty much every day through the weekend. Most of the
precipitation will occur during the late morning and afternoon
hours, with very little to differentiate one day from another.
This will be true of not only rain chances, but of temperatures as
well. I don't see any day out of the next 7 that we could
confidently say is going to remain dry.

.AVIATION...
(18Z TAFS)
Issued at 1234 PM CDT Tue Jun 10 2025
Well established CU field is holding decks in the MVFR range with
continued lifting to VFR expected this aftn. Scattered to numerous
showers and storms are beginning to develop. Will need PROB30 for
most terminals through the afternoon and early evening. Amendments
will be used if more confidence in timing/location becomes
apparent. Most or all convection should dissipate by 02z, if not
sooner. Low ceilings will again be possible at KMCB before sunrise
Wednesday.
&&
.MARINE...
Issued at 300 AM CDT Tue Jun 10 2025
The main concerns for marine operators will be the daily/nightly
threat for thunderstorms to produce locally higher winds and/or
seas. Do not see any prolonged period over the next 5 to 7 days
where thunderstorms will not be a threat. At this time, we do not
anticipate the need for Small Craft Advisories or Exercise Caution
headlines for the next few days.
