NEAR TERM
(Now through Saturday)
Issued at 1232 PM CDT Fri Apr 26 2024 Dry weather conditions prevail as upper ridging remains situated across the southeastern U.S. through Saturday. A passing trough to the north will likely result in increased cloud cover across the forecast area Saturday which may limit daytime heating to some extent. Regardless, expecting temperatures to still rise into the lower 80's for most spots Saturday after reaching lower to middle 80's this afternoon. The primary impacts during the forecast period will be breezy winds this afternoon and again Saturday.
Wind gusts of 20 to 25mph today become 25 to 30mph for Saturday.

Given persistent southeasterly flow along the coast, the threat for life threatening rip currents will rapidly increase as we head into the weekend. A Moderate risk of rip currents this evening becomes a high risk by early Saturday morning and will linger through the rest of the weekend into early next week. MM/25
