6/25/2017 - NOAA is having a major issue that impact the 7 day forecast load times. Many users are reporting problems. The issue has been reported. 5/23/2017 - Worked with NOAA again to speed up the 7 day forecast load times. Thanks to them for being responsive. 5/19/2016 - There were issues with the 3 day airport observation history. I switched to another data source. Let me know if you see any issues with the data feeds. |

A high pressure ridge axis will continue to extend west across the northeastern gulf through late week and into the early part of the weekend, maintaining a light to occasionaly moderate west to southwest wind flow. By late in the weekend, a frontal boundary will approach the gulf coast region from the north, with the light flow shifting a little more to the southeast. Little change in seas is expected through the period. Winds and seas will be locally higher near Thunderstorm activity. |

Aviation 16 12z issuance... No expected changes from previous aviation forecast package. Isolated convection near the coast this morning will be developing inland and becoming more widespread during the course of the day. Some patchy fog over inland areas, mainly light but dense in isolated locations, dissipating by mid morning and then possibly redeveloping again tonight. GenerallyVFR conditions except in and near convection, where MVFR to ocnl ifr conditions will be possible. Winds primarily light south to southwest today, light and variable tonight. 12 ds Prev discussion issued 445 am cdt Wed aug 16 2017 near term now through Wednesday night ... Little change to weather pattern in the near term. A surface high pressure ridge will continue to stretch west from the atlantic and into the eastern gulf of mexico and southern portions of ms al and over the western fl panhandle through tonight, as a weak surface quasi-stationary front trof persists east-west across northern ms al. Aloft, ridging does slowly increase across our area, especially tonight. This building ridge and associated subsidence may limit convection today slightly from what we've seen the past several days, especially over southeastern portion of the forecast area. On the western periphery of the building upper ridge, expect another day of scattered to numerous showers and storms over central and western portions of the forecast area. Even though we have had some degree of ridging (surface and aloft) over the past few days, thermodynamics have been winning out over overall synoptic pattern, with the very moist airmass (pwats generally around 2.0 to 2.2 inches), daytime heating and numerous low level boundary interactions resulting in widespread convection each day. Expect this to again be the case again today, especially over western half of forecast area as mentioned earlier. Isolated to scattered showers and storms will be possible early this morning along and near the coast, building and developing inland over most of the area during the course of the day. While localized heavy rainfall is possible with some of the stronger storms, no widespread severe weather is anticipated through tonight. Prolific lightning will be possible, as usual, with any of the thunderstorms. Showers and storms are expected to largely dissipate across the area after sunset this evening. Before storms become widespread today, and outside of rain areas, it will heat up rather quickly, with highs reaching the lower 90s in most locations, especially interior east zones, expect for some upper 80s along and near the immediate coast. Heat indices will likely reach 102-106 degrees in many locations. Warm and muggy conditions expected tonight, with lows ranging from the mid 70s inland to the upper 70s to near 80 along the near the coast. 12 ds short term Thursday through Friday night ... Mid to upper ridge of high pressure will continue over the north central gulf region through Thu then shift west in response to a broad mid to upper inverted trof moving west over the fl penisula and eastern gulf fri through Fri evening, then further west over the eastern and central gulf through early next week. With this pattern less coverage of showers and thunderstorms can be expected Thu and thu night followed by increasing coverage Fri into the weekend as deep moisture continues across the region combined with slightly |
better lift associated with the upper trof approaching upper from the east. Less clouds are also expected Thu and early Thu night followed by increasing clouds late Fri morning through Fri night. Latest model sounding support this reasoning with lower pwats, generally below 2 inches occurring over the lower half of the forecast area during the day on thu, then moistening back to 2 inches or slightly higher by midday Fri continuing into the weekend. Scattered showers and thunderstorms are expected each day with slightly better coverage on fri. With surface temps climbing into the lower to middle 90s combined with surface dewpts mostly in the mid 70s Thu and Fri high heat indices from 102 to 106 can be expected, though remaining just below advisory criteria. Periods of heavy rain will continue with the heavier showers and thunderstorms possibly leading to some minor localized flooding along with frequent cloud to ground lightning and gusty winds mostly 40 mph or less. Highs temps both Thu and Fri will be near or slightly above seasonal averages, climbing to the lower to middle 90s inland and the upper 80s to lower 90s near the immediate coast. Nighttime lows will continue to be a few degrees above seasonal averages ranging from the mid 70s inland and the upper 70s to near 80 along the immediate coast. Long term Saturday through Tuesday ... By Sat the mid to upper trof is located over the central gulf states and central gulf leading to better coverage of showers and thunderstorms Sat then lowering to mostly scattered Sun into early next week as the upper system continues to shift west. Periods of very heavy, frequent cloud to ground lightning and gusty winds mostly 40 mph or less will continue with the stronger thunderstorms through the long term period. Better coverage will occur near the coast and just offshore early each day then shift inland by late morning and afternoon continuing into the early evening hours. Daytime highs will be a tad lower or near seasonal levels, upper 80s to lower 90s Sat and Sun then the slightly above average, lower to middle 90s by early next. Night time lows will continue to be a a few degrees above seasonal averages ranging from the middle to upper 70s through the long term period. 32 ee marine... A surface high pressure ridge axis will continue to extend west across the northeastern gulf of mexico through the remainder of the week and into the early part of the weekend. This will maintain a light to occasionaly moderate west to southwest wind flow over the marine area through Saturday. By Sunday, a frontal boundary will drift south across the southeast states, approaching the gulf coast region, with the gulf ridge axis weakening and light winds shifting a little more to the southeast. Isolated to scattered showers and thunderstorms will continue at times over the marine area through the period, especially during the late night and early morning hours. Little change in seas expected, generally remaining 2 feet or less through the period. Winds and seas will however be locally higher in and around isolated to scattered showers and thunderstorms. 12 ds Mob watches warnings advisories Al... None. Fl... None. Ms... None. Gm... None.

Finally, tide and current data on this site is from 2007 and 2008 data bases, which may contain even older data. Changes in harbors due to building or dredging change tides and currents and for that reason many of the locations presented are no longer supported by newer data bases. For example, there is very little tidal current data in newer data bases so current data is likely wrong to some extent. This data is NOT FOR NAVIGATION. See the XTide disclaimer for details. In addition, tide and current are influenced by storms, river flow, and other factors beyond the ability of any predictive program. |
