NEAR TERM
(Now through Thursday)
Issued at 415 AM CDT Wed May 1 2024

Low clouds and areas of fog across portions of the forecast area this morning will persist until a few hours after sunrise this morning. We are monitoring visibilities and may have to issue a Dense Fog Advisory at some point, but as of now, while there area areas of fog occurring, observations show visibilities generally in the 0.5 to 1.5 mile range (which is above the below 0.25 mile criteria for dense fog). Only Crestview is indicating a visibility below 0.25 miles at this time, but visibilities have been bouncing up and down. In addition, visibilities on most of the ALDOT traffic cams across the area look fairly good for the most part, although there are a few locations where visibilities sharply drop. The fog does seem to be a little more widespread over interior locations. We will continue to monitor, but motorists should at least be prepared for some areas of fog, possibly dense, on the morning commute.

Otherwise, ridging is expected across the area today through Thursday. Southwest to west mid/upper level flow is expected in the weak riding aloft. Subsidence from the ridging should result in only a few clouds and allow daytime high temperatures to heat up well into the 80s. Will not carry a PoP today or Thursday, but some weak shortwave energy in the flow aloft on Thursday could result in an isolated shower or storm, particularly over our interior MS zones, and a slight PoP may need to be introduced there on Thursday with the afternoon forecast package. Otherwise above normal temperatures are expected. Daytime highs should rise into the mid and upper 80s today for interior locations (with the warmest temperatures over our MS zones) and into the the upper 80s over all of the interior on Thursday. Highs both days along the coast however will be in the low to mid 80s due to a slightly moderating onshore flow. Lows tonight generally ranging from the lower 60s over inland areas to the mid and upper 60s closer to the coast, and even a few lower 70s along the immediate beaches and barrier islands. DS/12

SHORT THROUGH LONG TERM...
(Thursday night through Tuesday)
Issued at 415 AM CDT Wed May 1 2024

An upper ridge that has built north over the eastern Conus deflects a series of shortwave troughs north of the forecast area Thursday night through Saturday. Deep layer southerly flow has become organized through the latter half of the week, bringing Gulf moisture inland. This plume has shifted east to over the forecast area and nearby. With the upper ridge maintaining enough strength to deflect the bulk of the energy north of the forecast area, this when combined with subsidence from the upper ridge, highest PoPs are expected to be over northwest and northern portions of the forecast area with the passing energy. Also, coverage is expected to be isolated to low end scattered at most. Subsidence from the upper ridge will also help to keep temperatures at above to well above seasonal norms through the period. High temperatures in the mid 80s to near 90 well inland with around 80s south of I-10 to the coast are expected. Low temperatures are expected to range from around 60 to the low 60s north of Highway 84 to mid 60s/upper 60s closer to and along the coast.

MARINE
Issued at 415 AM CDT Wed May 1 2024

Could be some areas of fog over bays, sounds and near shore waters this morning. Otherwise winds will mainly be light southeasterly through the week and into the weekend as surface high pressure ridges into the southeast states and the northern Gulf from the east. Slightly higher winds (up to 15 knots at times) will be possible each afternoon near the coast in association with an enhanced seas breeze circulation. No significant hazardous are expected for small craft through the period. DS/12
