...Tonight through Tuesday Night...

Weak upper troughing generally remains situated just west of the
area while upper ridging slowly builds off the southeast U.S.
coastline. This will keep the area in a deep, moist airmass into
Tuesday with another day of scattered to locally numerous showers
and thunderstorms expected. Temperatures will remain warm in the
upper 80`s to near 90 degrees for highs while overnight lows dip
into the lower to middle 70`s tonight and Tuesday night. Expect
the usual Summer time pulse-type stronger afternoon showers and
storms owing to ample instability and weak shear over the area
with gusty winds, small hail, heavy rain, and frequent lightning
the primary hazards with storms. If storms can train over the same
areas some localized flash flooding can`t be ruled out. A Low
risk of rip currents continues through Tuesday night. MM/25

Wednesday Through Sunday...

An upper level ridge over the western Atlantic continues to slowly
nudge toward the Southeast and eastern Gulf as we roll into the
back half of the week. A shortwave trough to our west becomes less
amplified on Wednesday as it pushes up against the ridge and
begins to lift out on Thursday. General ridging aloft builds into
the Deep South and Southeast Friday and Saturday before building
into the eastern half of the CONUS late in the weekend. Rain
chances trend back toward our typical summertime pattern regime as
we roll into the weekend and the heat starts to rise as ridging
builds into the region. In the meantime, expect higher rain
chances to continues each afternoon through Thursday. Pulse
thunderstorms are possible each afternoon give ample instability
and minimal shear, so we can`t rule out a few strong storms with
gusty winds and frequent lightning being the main threats.

Beach Forecast - The rip current risk increases to a MODERATE on
Wednesday through Friday. The rip current probability guidance is
trending toward a LOW risk over the weekend, but it`s borderline
LOW/MODERATE. 07/mb
