Synopsis -
high pressure aloft will begin to weaken overhead tomorrow and Friday, allowing for the return of normal diurnally driven showers and Thunderstorms. Coverage looks to again be fairly scattered tomorrow, but may become more widespread over the weekend as ridging overhead fully breaks down.
light to occasionally moderate onshore flow and low seas will prevail through the remainder of the work week. Winds and seas will begin to increase late Saturday into Sunday as a pressure gradient begins to tighten over the coastal region.

UPDATE
Issued at 1016 AM CDT Wed Jul 3 2024
A mesoscale boundary along the northern Gulf Coast has induced showers and thunderstorms across mainly the southern parts of the CWA over the last few hours. Therefore, the main grid update this morning was to tweak hourly POPs to account for this activity through the next few hours. Still looks like we'll see an increase in activity by the afternoon hours as well, with most of this activity expected to remain across roughly the southern half of the region. Otherwise, the forecast is on track this morning.

SHORT TERM
(Today through Friday night)
Issued at 338 AM CDT Wed Jul 3 2024
Showers have started to develop over coastal waters which will start moving inland in the coming hours. These nocturnal showers preceded a weak easterly wave which is expected to move onshore in eastern Louisiana today. Widespread showers and thunderstorms should spread inland and across much of the area today. Deep tropical-like moisture will accompany convection allowing for efficient warm rainfall processes to take place and thus very heavy downpours. With some stronger storms, gusty winds will be possible but widespread severe weather is not anticipated.
Weakness aloft takes place Thursday allowing for a return of typical diurnal convection.
Friday, expect afternoon showers and storms, but with an added boundary moving down towards the region from the north. This feature may drive rain chances to continue into the overnight hours.
Temperatures today, Thursday and Friday should generally be held in check by area rainfall. Highs along the coast will hover in the low 90s each day while those further inland warm into the mid to upper 90s. Although daytime temps won't be as warm as they have been, afternoon Heat Indices will make a run into the low 100s to around 109F today (especially in northern zones and along the Atchafalaya Basin.) Thus, a Heat Advisory is in effect for these areas today.
Another Heat Advisory is in place for the Holiday Thursday. This Advisory spans from inland Southeast Texas into central Louisiana.
Elsewhere, rainfall should keep Heat Indices from reaching criteria.

LONG TERM
(Saturday through Wednesday)
Issued at 338 AM CDT Wed Jul 3 2024
The long term begins Saturday with the area under the influence of troffing over the center of the country while at the sfc, high pressure is forecast to remain centered over the nern Gulf, maintaining a srly low-level flow across the region. In addition, a weak sfc front is progged to be stalling to our north across the ArkLaTex/ArkLaMiss regions. The combo of the limited capping, weak influence of the sfc boundary and good Gulf moisture (mean RH values again have increase to exceeding 70 percent and PWAT values now peak at 2.3 inches) is expected to lead to widespread showers/storms during the daytime. Blended guidance is advertising highest POPs once again over our sern zones, although the highest QPFs are being carried across the nrn 1/2 of the area...and with this in mind, WPC has highlighted the nrn zones in a marginal risk for excessive rainfall on Saturday.
Sunday looks largely like a repeat, although with the frontal boundary likely to lift back nwd somewhat, rain chances drop back a tick to account.
The latest forecast track for TC Beryl from NHC calls for the system to make landfall along the far nrn Mexican coast not too far south of KBRO late Sunday night/early Monday morning. Following this, much of the guidance takes the core of the system nnwwd further into TX.
With a deep serly flow now progged to set up over the wrn Gulf and into the Gulf West region, rain chances over the forecast area begin increasing again to start the new work week. This increasingly wet trends continues into the Tuesday as what's left of the system begins to meander around to our west while a 2ry surge of moisture is progged to encroach the region. It is important to note that confidence remains somewhat low in the eventual path of Beryl and that changes to the forecast track over the coming days are likely...stay tuned.
The good news in the long term is that with all the cloud cover/rainfall being forecast, temperatures are not looking to run as warm as during the days prior. Forecast highs generally top out in the lower 90s each day. Peak heat index values generally look to stay below advisory criteria at this time.

AVIATION
(18Z TAFS)
Issued at 1214 PM CDT Wed Jul 3 2024
Scattered showers and thunderstorms will continue through the remainder of the afternoon, before tapering off post-sunset.
Although most of this activity shouldn't be an issue, an occasional heavy downpour capable of briefly reducing VIS will be possible, especially for the I-10 terminals. Tonight, light winds and high clouds are expected, along with potentially some very light patchy fog/mist through the early morning hours. Post- sunrise tomorrow, light winds and VFR ceilings continue.

MARINE
Issued at 338 AM CDT Wed Jul 3 2024
Nocturnal showers have started developing over coastal waters.
This trend will continue through the morning as a weak easterly wave moves inland on the Louisiana coastline. A widespread coverage of showers and thunderstorms can be expected with heavy downpours, gusty winds and lightning in and near thunderstorms.
Weakness aloft is established Thursday and beyond allowing for the return of normal diurnally driven showers and thunderstorms.
Light to occasionally moderate onshore flow and low seas will prevail through the remainder of the work week. Winds and seas will begin to increase late Saturday into Sunday as a pressure gradient begins to tighten over the coastal region.
