Synopsis..A moderate to occasionally strong northerly flow will generally be decreasing over the next several days as a high pressure ridge drifts east across the marine area. Southeasterly to southerly flow will return and gradually increase late this week as the high pressure shifts eastward and the next cold front approaches from the west.

A dry flow pattern will continue through early Thursday, but a few isolated showers will be possible by late Thursday afternoon over interior southeast MS as the next storm system begins to take shape to our west. Surface high pressure will be drifting east across our area tonight and Wednesday, bringing mostly clear skies and cool/cold temperatures with it. The ridge axis will be more or less centered right over our area late tonight and Wednesday. By Wednesday night into Thursday the center of the surface high will have shifted east of our forecast area, with a moderating return flow beginning to set up for us. Mid/upper flow will be more or less zonal through late Wednesday, but as a shortwave troughing and developing surface low pressure moves into north Texas by Thursday mid/upper flow will become more southwesterly. The low level return flow off the Gulf and increasing southwesterly flow aloft will bring a surge of higher dewpoints into the region from the southwest by the end of the near term period, but as mentioned rain chances will not increase until we move into Friday and the weekend.
With regard to temperatures, the Freeze Warning remains in effect tonight for the entire forecast area except for locations along the immediate coast. Temperatures tonight will fall into the upper 20s and lower 30s from interior southeast MS eastward across interior southwest and south central AL, low to mid 30s along the I-10 corridor and then in the upper 30s and lower 40s closer to the coast. A gradual warmup will begin on Wednesday and persist into Thursday. Highs on Wednesday will be in the upper 50s and lower 60s, with the cooler temps over interior southwest and south central AL. Lows Wednesday night will not be quite as cold as tonight, generally ranging from the low to mid 30s inland areas and low to mid 40s closer to and along the coast. A few inland locations could briefly drop to right around the freezing mark, but for now looks to be only a few isolated locations and only briefly right around sunrise Thursday morning, so will not issue a Freeze Watch for Wednesday night at this time. We will continue to monitor and see if temperature trends over the inland areas cool any before making any firm decision on that. Thursday high temperatures mainly in the low to mid 60s across most of the area, but a few isolated upper 50s possible over south central AL east of I-65 and a some upper 60s possible along the immediate coast.
