Today...
Quiet and pleasant conditions are expected through the day as a surface ridge remains over the area. Patchy fog could be possible along some southeastern sites with dissipation after sunrise. High temps in the 80s to near 90 in the southeast and low temps ranging in the 60s to lower 70s.
Friday Night-Sunday:
As the ridge begins to move eastward, rain chances will return as southerly/southwesterly flow brings moist air into the region.
With moisture returning to the area, upper-level northwesterly flow will help several shortwaves traverse the area.
CAM models are showing a remnant MCS moving out of the Central Plains Friday night towards the ArkLaMiss region. There remains some model disagreement as to the sustainability of this MCS as it moves southeastward; however, sufficient instability will be in place should the MCS hold together. Which would lead to two possible outcomes: 1) Could sustain overnight and/or redevelop during the afternoon hours. 2) Completely dissipate during the morning with no afternoon redevelopment.
Although uncertainty exists with the forecasted MCS, a Marginal (1 out of 5) risk for severe weather has been highlighted along our northern corridor for Saturday and Sunday (as the setup remains largely the same) should storms become elevated over the weekend during the afternoon and evening hours. Primary hazards expected are damaging winds and hail.
The rest of the week...
Additional shortwave disturbances are anticipated to push through the area within the perturbed NW flow regime and interact with a frontal boundary in the vicinity. Ongoing shower/thunderstorm chances are likely through Friday. The highest probabilities on Monday and Tuesday afternoon (60-85% probability), tapering in intensity and coverage as we move through the rest of the week.
Timing is mainly afternoon, but there's uncertainty; as any evolving MCS could reach the area at any time. Additionally, some storms could reach severe criteria during this period; however, too much uncertainty remains to have much confidence on specifics. Lastly, there will be a need to keep an eye on heavy rainfall chances as there's opportunity for portions of the area to see a few rounds of high rain rates storms especially for the first half next week.
Again, too much uncertainty to get into specifics, but some potential does exist. /OAJ/

VFR conditions and light winds will prevail through the forecast period. The exception may be a brief period of low stratus/fog that could creep northward from the Gulf Coast into southern portions of the forecast area, particularly in the HEZ to HBG area near daybreak. Probabilities remain low for any notable impacts though so we have elected to keep them out of the TAF/forecast at this time. In any event, should stratus/fog develop, it will dissipate by mid morning. /EC/OAJ/
