New AVIATION, NEAR TERM
AVIATION
(18Z TAFS)
Issued at 1251 PM CDT Sun May 19 2024
General VFR conditions are expected to prevail through the period, although cannot rule out brief and isolated areas of MVFR ceilings this afternoon. Light and variable winds expected this afternoon through tonight. DS/12
NEAR TERM
(Now through Monday)
Issued at 1251 PM CDT Sun May 19 2024
The remnants of last night's mesoscale system are noted on visible satellite to be swirling over central Georgia. An area of broken clouds that were associated with an outflow boundary from this feature and were moving south across our forecast area early this morning have dissipated, with now only scattered cumulus associated with daytime heating noted. Should remain dry this afternoon, with max temperatures climbing into the mid and upper 80s as expected.
Dry conditions will persist tonight through Monday as deep ridging becomes reestablished across Mississippi, Alabama and the western Florida panhandle and the upper trough moves off the Atlantic coast.
Subsidence from the riding should prevent any showers or storms from developing, and also allow for daytime temperatures to heat up on Monday. Skies should be mostly clear tonight, and then partly cloudy on Monday. Light and variable winds for most locations tonight, expect for near the coast where a light offshore flow may persist.
Primarily light easterly winds across most of the area on Monday, but with a slightly stronger onshore flow along the coast during the afternoon hours.
Lows tonight will be above normal, ranging from the low to mid 60s over interior locations and from the mid/upper 60s to the lower 70s closer to and along the coast. High temperatures Monday primarily be in the upper 80s for most locations, with a few lower 90s possible over interior southeast Mississippi and in the mid 80s along the immediate coast. DS/12
