.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 1235 PM CST Tue Nov 18 2025
Warm and dry conditions prevail through much of the week as a
upper level ridge builds over the region. At the sfc, high
pressure will remain in control with southeasterly to southerly
flow bringing increased moisture to the area. Due to the increased
moisture along with light winds, dense fog will develop each
night. We have issued a Dense Fog Advisory for Wednesday morning
for southeast Mississippi and portions of southwest Alabama.
Temperatures will remain above normal through the period, likely
flirting with a few record highs by midweek as an upper ridge
builds across the area. Lows will also increase through the period
as moisture returns to the area. Rain chances increase Friday
into Saturday as an upper trough ejects across the plains and
weakens as it moves eastward. While the main dynamics pass well to
the north, enough low level moisture combined with the
approaching trough will lead to isolated to scattered showers and
storms Friday into Saturday. Dry and warm conditions return on
Sunday as upper ridging rebuilds across the area. Rain chances
increase again by the early to middle of next week as the next
system approaches from the west. Overnight patchy fog will
continue to be an issue each night as moisture levels increase.
Rip current probabilities continue to indicate that a potential
rise to a MODERATE risk for all beaches on Friday into the
weekend. /13
