NEAR TERM...
(Now through Tuesday)
Issued at 518 AM CDT Mon May 20 2024

Dry conditions will persist through Tuesday as deep ridging remains across Mississippi, Alabama and the western Florida panhandle. Subsidence from the riding should prevent any showers or storms from developing, and also allow for daytime temperatures to heat up today and Tuesday. Skies should be mostly clear at night and partly cloudy during the day. Primarily light easterly winds today and tonight becoming southeasterly on Tuesday. Patchy fog is expected to develop across Stone, George, Perry and southwest Greene counties late tonight.

Temperatures will remain 1-5 degrees above seasonal norms, with highs today and Tuesday in the mid 80s to lower 90s and lows ranging from 62 to 66 degrees interior areas and from 67 to 72 degrees close to the coast. A Moderate risk of rip currents today becomes Low on Tuesday. /22

SHORT AND LONG TERM...
(Tuesday night through Sunday)
Issued at 518 AM CDT Mon May 20 2024

The forecast remains dry and warm through at least Thursday.
Ridging aloft continues to nose into the region from the southwestern Gulf through Wednesday. The ridge begins to flatten into the Gulf Thursday into the weekend as a series of shortwaves skirt along the periphery of the ridge. Meanwhile, a surface high over the western Atlantic maintains a firm grip over parts of the Southeast and eastern Gulf through at least Friday and potentially into the early part of the weekend. A weak front associated with the first shortwave will attempt to drift into the MidSouth, but likely won't make it near our region given the influence of deep layer ridging. The surface high's grasp over the local area should keep the bulk of the showers and storms further to our north on Friday. We maintained the 15-25% POPs on Friday afternoon, but our confidence in these POPs is rather low at this time given the nearby ridging. The best chance for showers and storms over the weekend will be generally north of the Highway 84 corridor in the afternoon hours and early evening hours.

Beach Note: Rip current risk remains LOW through Friday with the RCMOS probabilities also remaining LOW through the weekend. 07/mb

MARINE...
Issued at 518 AM CDT Mon May 20 2024

Light easterly winds today become light southeasterly to southerly through the remainder of the week. Seas generally remaining 2 feet or less through the period. No significant hazards to small craft are expected. /22
