IFR ceilings will continue through the forecast with scattered showers continuing. Some heavier rain could be possible along the coast through the night that may reduce visibilities to MVFR or IFR. Winds will slowly turn southwesterly then northwesterly by tomorrow morning as the cold front sweeps from west to east across the area. Rain should subside with the progression of the cold front. Some patchy fog/mist could also develop late tonight leading to reduced visibilities. BB/03

NEAR TERM
(Now through Sunday)
Issued at 1232 PM CST Sat Dec 2 2023

The sloppy mess of rain continues this afternoon as we slowly chip away at the drought conditions. Broad southwesterly flow aloft with several embedded shortwaves will persist through Today before slowly pushing east on Sunday. The remainder of the day appears to be on track and expect scattered to numerous showers with a few embedded thunderstorms to remain possible, with best chances shifting east of the I-65 corridor by the afternoon hours.
We see renewed chances for showers and storms late tonight into Sunday morning as another shortwave pushes across the area. The surface cold front starts working its way through the CWA late tonight into Sunday morning, finally ushering in drier, cooler air as we head into Sunday afternoon and evening. Expect high temperatures today to top out in the lower to middle 70's, dipping into the upper 50's inland and lower to middle 60's nearer the coast tonight. Sunday will be a bit cooler, with highs in the upper 60's to lower 70's.

The overall threat for flash flooding appears to have diminished a bit as well considering the convective evolution so far this morning.
Storms have been a bit more progressive and have not had a tendency to train very much, and storms later this morning into tonight will not have as much potential to train repeatedly over the same areas.
Despite this, still expect an additional inch or two of rainfall over the forecast area, particularly nearer the coast. A high risk of rip currents remains in place through Sunday afternoon. BB/03 MM/25
