A sfc high is moving over the area at the moment. This high will move east today providing an onshore flow to begin bringing moisture back to the area. Southerly winds will slowly increase over the next few days, so eventhough temps will warm into the 80s, it will still feel quite comfortable as these winds will ventilate the column.
LONG TERM
(Saturday night through Thursday)
Issued at 222 AM CDT Fri Mar 29 2024
Not a lot of difference in conditions Sunday through Monday other than a degree or two for highs and lows and some clouds increasing.
Fog does not look to be a big issue as we trasition from dry to more moist conditions as any low cloud cover should come in as a strat deck by Sunday and/or Monday morning. The next system to move through the area looks to do so Tuesday as a cold front. This front should have sh/ts along with it, but there looks to be a feature ahead of the front that could rob some of the deeper moisture from the southern end of the front. And the front looks progressive, so things are looking up for it to move through at a good pace and not hang around. But don't get used to this type of pattern because this time of year, fronts begin to slow and some even stall along the gulf coast. We will have to see how this one behaves as we get closer to its time to move through.

Northerly winds will continue to ease this morning and gradually move to easterly and SE by this afternoon. Winds will rise somewhat once in a SE direction but should remain around 15kt until the next frontal system affects the area late Tuesday.
Indications are that this front will move through at a good pace bringing northerly winds around 25kt for Tuesday night through Wed night. High pressure should settle over the northern gulf after the front moves through which will bring winds and seas back to lower levels by the end of next week.
