NEAR TERM UPDATE /Now Through Tuesday/. An upper level ridge currently over the Plains shifts east and will be over the eastern Conus by Tuesday evening. A surface ridge stretching north along the Mississippi River shifts southeast, becoming centered off the Carolina coast with a ridge stretching west over the northern Gulf coast. The low level ridge is slow to organize and bring return flow off the Gulf into the Southeast, but a more significant moisture return does begin on Tuesday.
A very dry airmass (precipitable H20 values of 0.25" or less) remains in place through tonight, allowing for a higher than normal temperature range through the Near Term. Increasing upper subsidence from the shifting upper ridge will increase high temperatures to near seasonal levels today (low 70s) and a bit above on Tuesday (low to mid 70s). Increasing upper subsidence from the ridge aloft will bring an slight uptick in low temperatures tonight, with upper 30s to mid 40s expected. /16/12
AVIATION. 12Z issuance . VFR conditions will persist through the forecast. Winds will be light out of the east becoming light and variable overnight. BB/03

NEAR TERM UPDATE /Now Through Tuesday/ . An upper level ridge currently over the Plains shifts east and will be over the eastern Conus by Tuesday evening. A surface ridge stretching north along the Mississippi River shifts southeast, becoming centered off the Carolina coast with a ridge stretching west over the northern Gulf coast. The low level ridge is slow to organize and bring return flow off the Gulf into the Southeast, but a more significant moisture return does begin on Tuesday.
A very dry airmass (precipitable H20 values of 0.25" or less) remains in place through tonight, allowing for a higher than normal temperature range through the Near Term. Increasing upper subsidence from the shifting upper ridge will increase high temperatures to near seasonal levels today (low 70s) and a bit above on Tuesday (low to mid 70s). Increasing upper subsidence from the ridge aloft will bring an slight uptick in low temperatures tonight, with upper 30s to mid 40s expected. /16/12
SHORT TERM /Tuesday night Through Wednesday night/ . Other than shifting the short term period ahead 12 hours, not much in the way of change from previous. Surface and upper level ridging will continue over the area through the period, but gradually begins to lose its grip on the area Wednesday night. Overall though, the forecast doesn't change much from previous as subsidence over the region maintains clear skies, but a slowly moderating airmass is expected with rising dew points and humidity as surface high pressure ridge shifts east of the area and a southeasterly low level flow develops. No precipitation is expected. The large diurnal swings in temperatures will decrease somewhat during the short term period. Lows Tuesday night should be in the mid 40s over the interior counties and the lower 50s closer to and along the coast. Highs Wednesday will be in the low to mid 70s across most of the area, with a few upper 70s possible over the interior. Wednesday night lows should be in the low to mid 50s across the area. /12
EXTENDED TERM /Thursday Through Sunday/ . A strong upper level ridge of high pressure is expected to build across the central and southern Gulf of Mexico late this week and the associated upper level ridge axis is expected to extend northward across our forecast area Thursday and Friday. Low level ridging will meanwhile continue to stretch westward from the western Atlantic through the north central Gulf Coast region late this week, allowing for a continued southeasterly to southerly surface flow across our area. Medium range model solutions remain in good agreement with keeping a deeply dry and subsident airmass in place over our forecast area Thursday and Friday in association with the strong ridging aloft across our area and will keep a dry forecast in place through the end of the week. The upper level ridge of high pressure will gradually shift south and east across the southern Gulf and through the southern FL peninsula and FL Straits this weekend as a potent upper level low pressure system lifts from the Four Corners Region early Saturday morning to the central and southern Plains by Sunday afternoon. Mid level flow should gradually transition from zonal to southwesterly across our forecast area by late in the weekend between these features. Dry conditions are still generally anticipated on Saturday as much of our area remains underneath a deeply dry airmass and remnant influence of the upper level ridge. However, weak isentropic ascent could result in the development of isolated rain showers across portions of southeast MS and interior southwest AL by Saturday afternoon and will keep 20% POPs in place over these zones. A more organized line of convection could spread across the MS Valley region along a cold front by late Sunday night as the upper level low lifts into the Plains. There is still plenty of uncertainty regarding timing of the front and associated precipitation chances, but moisture return ahead of this next system will support the inclusion of at least a slight chance of rain showers across our forecast area Sunday into Sunday night with better chances possibly arriving just beyond this extended forecast period. For now, low end chance PoPs seem to be best bet, but look Look for POPs to be refined over the next several forecast periods. Otherwise, we expect warm temperatures to persist Thursday through the weekend with deep layer ridging and southerly flow in place, and we have continued to trend high temperatures a little above NBM offerings each day. /21
MARINE . Light to moderate easterly flow will become moderate southeasterly flow by Wednesday and persist into the weekend. Seas will briefly subside before increasing again late week. No current marine hazards expected. BB/03
