New SHORT TERM, LONG TERM, AVIATION, MARINE
SHORT TERM
(Today through Sunday night)
Wx map shows a 1023 mb surface high over MS/AL with weak ridging continuing over the area. Winds are calm at most inland locations except along the immediate coast where light southerly winds have returned. Temperatures in the lower to mid 40s continue north of I-10, upper 40s to lower 50s further south. Some patchy fog noted across the area, but not expected to become dense or widespread.
An exiting mid to upper level trough over the Eastern half of the country with a deepening mid to upper level trough over the Western U.S will keep a mainly zonal flow aloft over our region through the remainder of Easter Weekend. With no significant upper level perturbations or deep layer moisture to work with, no rainfall is expected through Sunday night.
For today, expect a full return of southerly winds with mostly sunny skies and warmer temperatures with highs in the mid to upper 70s. For tonight, expect lows in the lower 50s across Central Louisiana to lower 60s across Southeast Texas. Expect clouds to increase a bit Saturday and warmer temperatures with highs in the upper 70s to lower 80s. Saturday night, lows mainly in the lower to mid 60s.
Easter Sunday will see mostly cloudy skies with highs in the lower to mid 80s. Due to the increasing pressure gradient between the surface high to the east and developing surface low over the Texas and Oklahoma Panhandles, expect stronger southerly winds around 15 to 20 mph with higher gusts by afternoon.
08/DML
LONG TERM
(Monday through Friday)
Global model guidance is in quite good agreement this morning regarding the evolution of the upper air pattern across the southern CONUS for next week. Area will start off the week in an already well established and strengthening moisture/warm air advection regime between deep layer ridging over the ERN Gulf and an approaching positively tilted upper trof stretching from the northern Plains to the Desert SW. This will yield above normal warmth, with lows of 65 to 70 (10-15 degrees above normal) and highs in the lower to mid 80s (5-10 degrees above normal) on MON.
The upper trof is progged to advance slowly EWD MON and MON night, with well above normal low temperatures continuing TUE morning. As the trof continues EWD, it will nudge a cold front through the area during the day TUE, bringing low to mid range (20-40%) rain chances and west to NW winds that will usher in a cooler and drier airmass by TUE night. Dry and sunny/clear with temperatures at or below seasonal normals is expected WED and THU.

AVIATION
(12Z TAFS)
Some patchy fog may cause intermittent IFR visibilities through 12-13z, and quickly burn off after sunrise. Otherwise, VFR expected through the period. Expect southeast to south winds to increase after 15z around 12-15 kts with gusts over 20-24 kts.
Winds expected to remain southerly around 8-10 kts after 00z.
