NEAR TERM...
(Now through Friday)
Issued at 342 PM CDT Thu Mar 28 2024
Axis of surface high pressure moving east across the Lower Mississippi River Valley today and tonight will be positioned over the northern FL Peninsula Friday. Will be a chilly night with the high overhead with lows dipping down to a range of 39 to 43 over the interior to the mid to upper 40s closer to the coast. These numbers will be some 5 to 9 degrees below normal on average. A nice Spring day on tap for Friday with highs lifting into the lower to mid 70s. Rip current risk trends downward to low this evening and Friday. /10
SHORT TERM...
(Friday night through Sunday night)
Issued at 342 PM CDT Thu Mar 28 2024
A nearly zonal flow is expected over the forecast area through Saturday followed by upper ridging gradually building over the eastern CONUS Sunday into Sunday night ahead of an upper trof advancing across the western states. A surface ridge remains oriented close to the northern Gulf coast through the period and promotes a light southerly flow over the forecast area. Deep layer moisture gradually improves through Sunday night, but remains too limited to consider pops and have continued with a dry forecast for now. Lows Friday night mostly range from the mid to upper 40s inland to the lower 50s near the coast, then trend warmer by Sunday night to range from around 60 inland to the mid 60s at the coast. Will need to monitor for the potential of fog development, potentially dense, over much of the area late Saturday night. Have added the mention of patchy fog for now. Highs on Saturday will be in the mid to upper 70s then highs on Sunday will be in the upper 70s to lower 80s. A low risk of rip currents is expected through the period. /29
LONG TERM...
(Monday through Thursday)
Issued at 342 PM CDT Thu Mar 28 2024
A positively tilted upper trof over the western CONUS expands while advancing into the eastern states through Wednesday, and in the process looks to cut off an upper low over northern Mexico. An associated surface low lifts from the central Plains to across the northeast states, and brings a cold front through the forecast area between late Tuesday afternoon into Tuesday night. MLCAPE values look to increase to 500-750 J/kg ahead of the front Tuesday afternoon, and 0-3 km helicity values could approach 150-200 m2/s2. Model soundings show that lapse rates will be near moist adiabatic below 750 mb or so with nearly all of the instability confined aloft. Should this continue to be the case, this profile would be a significant limiting factor for the potential for stronger storms. Will continue to monitor at this point. Dry conditions continue for Monday and Monday night, then will have slight chance to chance pops for Tuesday and chance pops areawide Tuesday night. For Wednesday, will have slight chance pops east of I-65 in the morning then dry conditions follow through Thursday as dry surface high pressure builds into the region in the wake of the frontal passage. /29

No high impact weather expected through Monday. The next weather system moves across the deep south Tuesday, bringing next chance of storms Tuesday/Tuesday night and a build in seas. /10
