Now through Thursday Night...

Patchy to areas of fog remain possible through daybreak this morning. Any lingering fog or low stratus lifts after daybreak allowing for ample daytime heating across the area bringing highs into the lower to middle 80's once again. Expect a similar setup to yesterday with afternoon heating allowing for slow moving pulse type showers and thunderstorms. Best coverage will be west of the I-65 corridor where CAM guidance is most enthused about the development of storms. As we head into the evening hours, showers and storms wane and once again fog becomes a potential problem for much of the area. It appears the better setup for fog will be tonight in comparison to the previous night. Better decoupling of the boundary layer appears probable along with less cloud cover aloft and very light winds throughout the low levels. All this should favor fog development for most of the forecast area and perhaps even some locally dense fog in spots that see the most rain the next 24 to 36 hours.

As we head into Thursday temperatures warm even more into the middle 80's for nearly all locations, perhaps even some upper 80's east of the I-65 corridor. Rain chances diminish Thursday with drier low level air in place, weaker instability and very weak shortwave ridging nosing in. Can't rule out an isolated shower or storm over the interior but coverage should stay pretty low.
Thursday night will see similar lows to tonight with temperatures in the lower to middle 60's for most locations. A Moderate risk of rip currents continues through Thursday night. MM/25

Friday through Tuesday...

We are expecting a diurnal pattern through the weekend with isolated to scattered afternoon showers and thunderstorms, mainly over northern portions of the forecast area near the remnants of an old weakening frontal boundary. By the early part of next week, deep layer ridging becomes more entrenched across our area, with little to no rain chances expected Monday and Tuesday. It will be rather warm, with highs Friday in the mid to upper 80s interior areas, and ranging from 77 to 82 degrees along the coast due to the cool Gulf waters. Highs will then be in the mid 80s and lower 90s Saturday through Tuesday (hottest day appears to be on Sunday, with most of the interior in the likely in the lower 90s).
Nighttime lows will range from lower 60s over most interior locations to upper 60s and perhaps even a few lower 70s closer to and along the coast Thursday night through Monday night. A Moderate Rip Current Risk should persist Friday and Saturday, decreasing Low on Sunday. /22
