(Now through Saturday)
Issued at 511 AM CDT Fri Mar 29 2024
Northwesterly flow aloft today turns more zonal tonight and Saturday. A surface high pressure is currently situated over the local area and will slide east towards the Florida Peninsula today. Winds will gradually shift from the northeast this morning to the east and southeast by this afternoon as a result.
Subsidence from the high pressure will keep conditions dry today along with mostly sunny skies. High temperatures this afternoon should warm up into the middle 70s for most areas and the lower 70s along the immediate coastal interface. Overnight temperatures will still be rather cool with lows dipping into the upper 40s well inland and the lower to middle 50s across the remainder of the area. On Saturday, the surface high pressure shifts out over the far western Atlantic which will place the local area on the western periphery of the ridge axis. Moisture return will be slow to improve despite southerly winds so conditions will remain dry with some passing clouds. Highs on Saturday trend warmer with temperatures reaching the middle and upper 70s. A low risk of rip currents is expected at all area beaches through Saturday. /14
SHORT TERM...
(Saturday night through Sunday night)
Issued at 511 AM CDT Fri Mar 29 2024
Upper ridging gradually builds over the Gulf coast region Saturday night into Sunday night ahead of an deep upper trough advancing across the western states (with axis generally over the Four Corners Region by Sunday night). A surface ridge remains oriented close to the northern Gulf coast and eastward through the period and promotes a light southerly flow over the forecast area. Deep layer moisture gradually improves through Sunday night, but remains too limited to consider PoPs and we have continued with a dry forecast for the short term period. With the slight subsidence from the riding aloft and the low to mid level southerly flow, moderating temperatures are expected. Lows Saturday night will mostly range in the mid to upper 50s across most of the area, lower 60s at the coast. Highs on Sunday will be quite warm and above normal, mainly in the low 80s inland and mid to upper 70s near the coast. Lows Sunday night mill mainly range from the lower 60s inland to the mid 60s at the coast. Will still need to monitor for the potential of fog development, potentially dense, over much of the area late Saturday night. Have maintained the mention of patchy fog for now. /12
LONG TERM...
(Monday through Thursday)
Issued at 511 AM CDT Fri Mar 29 2024
The positively tilted upper trough over the western CONUS at the beginning of the period advances east through the period, with the trough axis (now in a more neutral orientation) being located along the Eastern Seaboard by late Thursday. An associated surface low lifts from the central Plains east across the northeast states and off the Cape Code area by Thursday. An associated cold front will move through our forecast area sometime between late Tuesday afternoon into Tuesday night. Moisture increases just ahead of the front, with PWAT's generally ranging from about 1.5 to 1.8 inches, and with the forcing resulting from the frontal passage, we are still looking at scattered showers and a few thunderstorms with the passage of this system. SBCAPE values possibly increase to look to increase to 700-900 J/kg ahead of the front Tuesday afternoon, and 0-3 km helicity values possibly approaching 200 m2/s2. Model soundings continue to show that lapse rates will be near moist adiabatic below about 750 mb with nearly all of the instability confined aloft. Should this continue to be the case, this profile would be a significant limiting factor for the potential for stronger storms. Will continue to monitor at this point. Dry conditions will be continuing Monday and Monday night, then will have chance PoPs for Tuesday afternoon and Tuesday night as the front moves across the area. For Wednesday, will have slight chance pops east of I-65 in the morning then dry conditions follow through Thursday as dry surface high pressure builds into the region in the wake of the frontal passage.
Temperatures remain quite warm Monday and Tuesday, with daytime highs continuing in the lower 80s for most interior locations and upper 70s at the coast. Monday night lows are expected be primarily in the mid 60s across the area. Cools somewhat in the wake of the front Tuesday night through Thursday. Tuesday night lows mainly in the 50s and Wednesday night lows even cooler, mainly in the 40s. Highs Wednesday and Thursday mainly in the lower 70s. /12

Issued at 511 AM CDT Fri Mar 29 2024
No marine impacts are expected through Monday. A light to occasionally moderate southerly to southeasterly flow becomes established by tonight and will continue through the early part of next week. The next weather system will bring the potential for storms and increased seas Tuesday into early Wednesday. /14
