Otherwise, the onshore flow will continue through the remainder of the week, but strengthen somewhat late this week and into the weekend.

NEAR TERM
(Now through Wednesday)
Issued at 305 PM CDT Tue Apr 23 2024

Northwesterly flow aloft will continue across the region tonight and Wednesday as a weak shortwave trough aloft moves east across the region. At the surface, high pressure centered over the southeastern CONUS early this evening will shift to just off the southeast East Coast by late Wednesday, but continue to ridge back west across our area. Associated low level light onshore return flow will gradually begin to increase moisture across the area, with PWATS just over 0.50 inches this evening climbing to just over 1.00 inch by the end of the day Wednesday. Overall though, the the deep layer air column remains fairly dry through Wednesday, with a possible saturated layer between 850-700MB. With this will likely be looking at increased mid-level clouds across the region on Wednesday, and possibly a sprinkle or two up along the Highway 84 corridor. The likelihood of any rain for now though it too low to carry any PoPs for Wednesday. There could be some very patchy light fog development in a few spots late tonight/early Wednesday morning, but confidence in occurrence and the anticipated very patchy/limited nature of fog development precluded any mention in the forecast. A little warmer tonight with min temps primarily in the low 50s over all interior locations north of I-10, but upper 50s to lower 60s closer to and along the coast. Highs on Wednesday rebounding mainly into the lower 80s for most locations, but remaining in the upper 70s for some locations, especially along the coast. DS/12

LONG TERM
(Wednesday night through Tuesday)
Issued at 305 PM CDT Tue Apr 23 2024

Northwest flow aloft remains across the forecast area Wednesday night through Thursday night before upper level ridging pushes across the area. This will transition us to a more westerly and eventually southwest flow aloft as we head into the weekend and early next week. The forecast area remains predominately dry as any appreciable shortwaves pass well to the north of the gulf coast through the weekend. A sharper, deeper trough may try to impinge on the area Monday into Tuesday which may result in increased chances for showers and thunderstorms early next week.
Temperatures remain seasonable in the lower to middle 80's for highs each afternoon and lows in the lower to middle 60's each morning.

Beach Note: Rip current risk increases to MODERATE on Friday with a HIGH RISK expected by Saturday as onshore flow continues to increase at the beaches. RCMOS probabilities indicate a high likelihood of the risk remaining HIGH through at least Sunday at all local beaches. MM/25 07/mb

MARINE
Issued at 305 PM CDT Tue Apr 23 2024

No marine impacts anticipated through the week. Onshore flow is forecast to strengthen with a gradual build in seas late Friday and into the weekend. /21
