Synopsis for pascagoula to atchafalaya river out 60 nm -
high pressure will remain across the local waters through midweek allowing for favorable marine conditions across the region. Winds will start to transition to a more southeasterly direction later today as the high moves east of the region. Going into the weekend, pressure gradient will tighten again leading to the need for cautionary headlines or small craft advisories.

DISCUSSION
Issued at 448 AM CDT Tue Apr 23 2024

Today and Tonight:

In advance of an upper-level shortwave trough dives through the Great Lakes region today, a dry but warming surface air mass will remain over the Gulf Coast region. Have nudged dew points a little on the drier side of guidance as we remain under the influence of the surface high through the day. A cold front associated with the system to our north may dip into far northern parts of our forecast area late tonight, but warming ahead of this front will actually result in warmer temps across the board compared with this morning's temps. Steadily rising low-level moisture today into the overnight period, along with radiational cooling over the Pine Belt in southeast Mississippi could result in fog chances for those areas early Wednesday morning. At this time dense fog development is uncertain, but the narrow ribbons of river fog showing up on satellite early this morning suggest some areas of advection- radiation fog could develop tomorrow morning. /NF/

Wednesday through Monday:

Extended forecast remains on track as 1) a cold front (on Wednesday)
and 2) a few shortwaves (over the weekend) are expected to move through the area. In addition to those two features, another cold front is expected to move through the area at the start of next week. In between systems, a warming trend will take place through mid-week and the beginning of next week.

A weak cold front is expected to push across the area on Wednesday, but is looking to be mostly dry as QPF values are low. However, as PW values near 1.4 will help promote the chance of isolated showers or thunderstorms for northern counties for Wednesday and Thursday.
An upper-level ridge will settle over the southern CONUS, increasing southerly flow and bringing a brief dry period for northern counties Thursday evening into Friday. As a result, moisture and temperatures will increase heading into the weekend.

Rain chances will return across northwestern MS and southeastern AR Friday evening into Saturday as the shortwaves begins to move across the area. Elsewhere will remain dry before rain chances encompass the rest of the CWA on Sunday and into the new week ahead of another frontal boundary. Showers and thunderstorms will be possible with these disturbances. At this time, severe weather potential is outlooked to the west of the CWA for Sunday and we will be monitoring for any changes with the upcoming forecast. A low pressure center near MN will push the aforementioned cold front through our area early next week. Despite shower and thunderstorm chances, weekend temperatures are expected to reach the middle to upper 80s. /SW/
