Synopsis - High pressure at the surface will continue to ridge across the northern gulf through the remainder of the weekend into early next week, resulting in light to moderate onshore flow, low seas, and dry conditions. Winds and seas begin to pick up a bit by Tuesday as a front approaches from the north, tightening the pressure gradient overhead and eventually bringing our next chance of rain by early Wednesday.

Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service New Orleans LA 630 AM CDT Sat May 17 2025
New AVIATION
SHORT TERM
(Today through Sunday)
Issued at 245 AM CDT Sat May 17 2025
Upper ridging over the Gulf, with troughing over Wisconsin and Baja California. At the surface, Bermuda high extends westward across much of the Gulf. Low pressure over Michigan had a cold front southwestward to Texas. Locally, it's a warm and steamy night, with temperatures between 75 and 80 and dew points mainly in the middle 70s.
Shortwaves moving over the ridge will mainly keep precipitation north of the area through Sunday afternoon. Can'te entirely rule out a few showers or storms over southwest Mississippi this afternoon, but that'd be about it. Yesterday's high temperatures look to be a pretty good starting point for high temperatures the next couple days. That would be upper 80s to lower 90s for most of the area, and a few degrees cooler on the Mississippi coast, where the sea breeze may cap off heating before everywhere else. Short of having a thunderstorm, the numeric guidance for overnight lows looks several degrees too cool tonight, with mid 70s more likely than lower 70s.
LONG TERM
(Sunday night through Friday)
Issued at 245 AM CDT Sat May 17 2025
While ridging continues over the southern Gulf for most or all of next week, a strong trough moving through the Middle Mississippi River Valley into the Great Lakes will push a cold front into the area, and possibly through the area, at midweek. Medium range guidance coming into agreement that the only real significant chance of precipitation will be Tuesday night. Current NBM numbers would have a chance of precipitation both Tuesday night and Wednesday, but expect that later runs will back off on the Wednesday PoPs.
Well above normal temperatures will continue until the frontal passage with highs upper 80s and lower 90s, and lows in the mid 70s. By Thursday and Friday mornings, morning lows likely to be at least 10 degrees cooler for much of the area, with some lows across northern portions in the 50s. Highs at the end of next week could range from upper 70s to mid 80s. We'll hold onto the NBM numbers for now.
AVIATION
(12Z TAFS)
Issued at 626 AM CDT Sat May 17 2025
Terminals are a mix of MVFR ceilings and VFR conditions at forecast issuance time. Expect cloud bases to lift above FL030 by mid to late morning, with VFR conditions for the remainder of the daylight hours. MVFR ceilings will redevelop by late evening at several terminals, continuing through mid-morning Sunday. There's a non-zero threat of convection this afternoon at KMCB, but much too low to carry in the terminals.
MARINE
Issued at 245 AM CDT Sat May 17 2025
Can't entirely rule out winds briefly reaching or exceeding 15 knots at times, mainly over the western waters. Overall, any impacts to marine operations should be rather limited, if they occur at all.
