.AVIATION...
(18Z TAFS)
Issued at 1234 PM CDT Fri Jun 7 2024

VFR conditions are expected to prevail through Saturday morning.
Northwesterly winds around 5 knots prevail this afternoon, except
for becoming southerly 5 to 10 knots at the immediate coast, then
a light northerly flow follows for tonight. A northeasterly flow
around 5 knots is expected for Saturday morning. /29

.NEAR TERM...
(Now through Saturday)
Issued at 1234 PM CDT Fri Jun 7 2024

A broad upper ridge over the south central states and 4-Corners
region shifts eastward to become centered mostly over the northern
Gulf states and much of the Gulf. A weak frontal boundary is
currently located near or just south of the coast currently, and
an old outflow boundary is seen in the current satellite loop from
near the mouth of the Mississippi to near Apalachicola. The
potential for convective development along the weak frontal
boundary looks increasingly dubious before the boundary progresses
offshore and have opted to remove the current slight chance pops
for the coastal counties this afternoon. Dry conditions follow for
tonight and Saturday as the upper ridge builds into the region
along with progressively drier air, precluding the potential for
convective development. Lows tonight range from the lower 60s well
inland to around 70/lower 70s at the immediate coast. A low risk
of rip currents is expected through Saturday. /29
