.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 1025 PM CDT Sun May 17 2026

Dry weather conditions generally prevail for most areas today
outside of perhaps an isolated shower or storm over the interior
this afternoon, best chances near the Highway 84 corridor. Rain
chances gradually increase into mid and late week as upper ridging
weakens and southwest flow aloft works its way into the area
along with several weak shortwaves. This should be enough to
generate isolated to scattered shower and thunderstorm coverage
each day starting Wednesday. Rain chances continue to look like
they will be best this weekend as a weak upper trough pushes
across the region. Overall for those who see storms it will be a
beneficial rainfall to continue chipping away at our ongoing
drought across the forecast area. We will probably see some patchy
fog across portions of the area through daybreak this morning and
again Tuesday morning. The better signal for fog, some locally
dense, appears to be Tuesday morning. Fog will generally lift
pretty quickly after daybreak.

Outside of the rain chances, temperatures will be warm near or
just above normal for this time of year on both highs and lows
throughout the week. Highs generally fall in the 85 to 90 range,
warmest Wednesday where some spots across the FL panhandle into
south-central AL make it to the lower 90`s. Lows warm with time
from upper 50`s to middle 60`s this morning to middle 60`s to
lower 70`s by mid week. The rip current risk remains Moderate
today, becoming High Tuesday before dropping back to a Low to
Moderate risk Wednesday into late week. MM/25
