Synopsis for pascagoula to atchafalaya river out 60 nm -
surface high pressure centered northeast of the local area will slowly shift from the carolinas to the western atlantic from now to early next week. This will keep onshore flow in place with a gradual shift in wind direction from southeast to south. The pressure gradient will generally support wind speeds around 10 knots with occasional periods of speeds closer to 15 knots.

SHORT TERM
(This evening through Wednesday night)
Issued at 309 PM CDT Tue May 21 2024
An upper level ridge is currently centered over central Mexico just southwest of Brownsville Texas. The axis of this high currently extends northeastward across the southeastern US to the Ohio River Valley. It will suppress southward the next couple days as an upper level trough currently moving through the Northern/Central Plains tracks northeastward across the northern Mississippi River Valley.
More locally, not much change expected to 500mb heights which means slightly above normal temperatures persist. In addition, this will keep rain chances out of the forecast. Otherwise, thats about it.
LONG TERM
(Thursday through Monday night)
Issued at 309 PM CDT Tue May 21 2024
Like the near-term, really not much to talk about in the extended portion of the forecast. High pressure will maintain hot and rainless conditions. Temperatures will creep up a few degrees the rest of the forecast period as the upper ridge nearby strengthens. A few locations could approach record highs this weekend. At the moment, it doesn't appear that dewpoints will be high enough to support heat indicies anywhere near heat advisory, but should at least exceed 100 late this week.
The ridge will continue to be suppressed southward as another trough tracks across the mid Mississippi River Valley this weekend. That'll eventually allow for some afternoon convection but currently doesn't look like that'll happen until sometime next week.
AVIATION
(00Z TAFS)
Issued at 608 PM CDT Tue May 21 2024
Currently VFR across all terminals. Still a fair amount of cumulus clouds around, but most of those should dissipate in the next few hours. Still at least a low end potential for fog around sunrise, with KMCB and KHUM the main prospects. If that does occur, it should burn off by 14z. Could also be a very brief period of MVFR ceilings (FL025) in a few locations as cumulus field develops tomorrow morning, but should lift above FL030 pretty quickly.
