NEAR TERM
(Now through Wednesday)
Issued at 352 PM CDT Tue Apr 16 2024

Not much change from the previous forecast with mostly dry and warm conditions prevailing through Wednesday. An upper level ridge axis gradually slides eastward through the period and becomes positioned out over the western Atlantic as an upper trough pushes across the Midwestern US. This progression aloft will place the local area within a zonal flow. Given how far removed the upper trough is from the local area, we are not expecting anything more than a perhaps a sprinkle or two over far interior portions of southeastern Mississippi into interior southwestern Alabama Wednesday afternoon. Clouds will continue to increase through the period with mostly clouds skies expected during the day Wednesday.
Low temperatures tonight drop down into the 60s with highs on Wednesday warming back into the lower 80s inland with upper 70s along the immediate coastal interface. A persistent onshore flow will result in a moderate risk of rip currents across all area beaches through the near term. /14

SHORT/LONG TERM...
(Wednesday night through Tuesday)
Issued at 352 PM CDT Tue Apr 16 2024

Upper ridging over the central Gulf of Mexico will maintain a generally zonal flow over our forecast area and help to deflect any weather systems north of the central Gulf coast through the early part of the weekend. At the surface, high pressure centered over the western Atlantic off the Florida east coast ridges back toward the west and across the Gulf through late week as well, with our forecast area on the northern periphery of the surface ridge. This will maintain a mostly onshore low level flow across our area this week, with moisture gradually increasing, but little if any precipitation is expected through the week (although a shower or two can't be completely ruled out each day over our interior zones, but too few in number to carry a PoP at this time). With the increased low level moisture, some patchy late night fog is possible at times this week as well, but generally not widespread enough to include in grids either. The upper zonal flow and weak ridging begins to weaken this weekend as a shortwave aloft and a weak front moves into the area from the west. The approaching front along with weaker upper ridging will allow for increased rain chances over the weekend (30-50%), mainly on Sunday. Rain chances end by early next week as the front moves east of the area and drier air moves in. Warm temperatures are expected Wednesday through Saturday with highs in the 80s and lows in the 60s. By Sunday through Tuesday look for a slight cool down, with highs mainly in the 60s and 70s Sunday and in the 70s Monday and Tuesday. Sunday night and Monday night lows will be cooler as well, mainly in the 50s. DS/12

MARINE
Issued at 352 PM CDT Tue Apr 16 2024

No significant impacts are expected through the weekend. A light to occasionally moderate onshore flow will prevail through the weekend with offshore flow developing by early next week. /14
