NEAR TERM
(Now through Sunday)
Issued at 346 PM CDT Sat May 4 2024

A general zonal flow pattern aloft prevails across the region this afternoon. Weak shortwave perturbations within this flow will translate over the area this afternoon while a seabreeze circulation advances northward across our inland zones. Isolated to scattered showers and thunderstorms will develop over inland areas this afternoon through early this evening in association with this features. Will maintain low POPs (20-40%) mainly north of the I-10 corridor this afternoon, with convection gradually dwindling by around 9-10 PM this evening. Shortwave ridging aloft builds overhead tonight into early Sunday morning. Dry conditions are anticipated tonight, but conditions will become favorable for the development of patchy to areas of fog, some of which could become locally dense late tonight into early Sunday morning. The mid level flow pattern will transition more southwesterly by Sunday afternoon as shortwave ridging aloft shifts to our east and the next trough translates over the Plains states. The mid level flow becomes somewhat diffluent over interior portions of southeast MS and southwest AL which favors the development of isolated to scattered showers and thunderstorms by Sunday afternoon. Lows tonight are forecast to range in the mid to upper 60s over inland locations and in the upper 60s to lower 70s along the coast. Highs on Sunday once again range in the mid 80s to near 90 degrees inland and in the lower to mid 80s along the immediate coast and beaches. The rip current risk remains MODERATE along area beaches through the remainder of the weekend. /21

SHORT TERM
(Sunday night through Saturday)
Issued at 346 PM CDT Sat May 4 2024

Another chance for isolated showers and storms will be possible on Monday afternoon over interior portions of the area as another weak shortwave feature moves over the area. Upper level ridging will then build in on Tuesday and Wednesday with a more zonal pattern returning by the end of the week. With the subsidence in place, we expect mostly dry conditions through at least Wednesday.
The next chance for isolated convection returns for inland areas on Thursday afternoon as upper flow becomes more zonal and a cold front begins to approach from the west. Persistent onshore flow through the period will result in increased moisture later in the week and storm coverage is expected to increase to around 20-40% as the cold front pushes into the area Friday and into Friday night. The front should move east across our area by early Saturday morning with dry conditions likely returning by Saturday afternoon.

Temperatures will gradually warm through mid week as the upper ridging builds into the Southeast. Highs are expected to reach into the upper 80s and lower 90s by Wednesday and Thursday. Low temperatures will also linger in the upper 60s to 70s both Wednesday and Thursday nights. Relatively cooler temperatures are anticipated Friday given the increased rain chances and cloud cover with notably cooler temperatures expected on Saturday in the wake of the frontal passage. /14

MARINE
Issued at 346 PM CDT Sat May 4 2024

A light onshore flow will persist through the weekend and then slowly increase to moderate by the middle of next week. Slightly higher winds are expected during the afternoon hours near the coast in association with an enhanced sea breeze circulation. Seas offshore will gradually increase to around 3 feet by the early to middle part of the week. 96/21
