DISCUSSION

Tonight through Wednesday night...
Deep layer ridging will persist over the forecast area tonight through Wednesday night, maintaining the dry and rather warm conditions across the area. A few isolated showers or storms dissipating over eastern portions of the forecast area this evening, then any additional convective activity on Wednesday will again be diurnally driven and rather sparse in coverage. Some isolated to scattered showers and storms could be possible Wednesday afternoon, especially near the coast where the better moisture will be. Any showers and storms that do manage to develop Wednesday will again dissipate shortly after sunset. Subsidence from the deep ridging will continue to result in above seasonal temperatures. Lows tonight and Wednesday nights will range from the mid 60s over most of the interior to the upper 60s and lower 70s closer to and along the coast. Highs on Wednesday will again be quite warm, mainly in the mid to upper 80s, but lower 80s along the immediate coast. A LOW risk of rip currents along area beaches tonight, then a MODERATE risk Wednesday into Wednesday night. DS/12
Thursday through Tuesday...
The pattern looks to get a little more active heading into late week and the weekend as the upper ridge finally breaks down and the upper trough finally pushes into the eastern US. At the surface, expect a cold front to slowly drift southward through the weekend with scattered to numerous showers and thunderstorms occurring each day along the boundary. Given the rather slow progression of the boundary, the best rain chances will likely follow suit increasing from northwest to southeast and gradually getting further southeast each day. By Sunday the front will move through ushering in cooler and drier air from the northwest. The biggest concern will be the potential for locally heavy rainfall with slow moving training storms. However, given our relatively dry soils a more widespread flooding threat seems unlikely.
Temperatures will be warm to start but quickly cool off next week behind the front with lows sneaking back into the 50s by early next week. BB-8

VFR conditions will prevail through much of the period, with the exception of restrictions to visibility late tonight into Wednesday morning across interior areas. Patchy to areas of dense fog are possible, with localized VLIFR to LIFR conditions. Closer to the coast, including the all TAF sites, we are only expecting light patchy fog, with MVFR conditions forecast for KMOB. Light south to southeast winds are expected through the period. /22

Issued at 416 PM CDT Tue Apr 29 2025
A mostly light, occasionally moderate onshore flow will persist through Saturday, then become more light to occasionally moderate offshore late in the weekend and early next week as a weak frontal boundary passes across the marine area. No significant hazards to small craft expected. DS/12
