SYNOPSIS...A HIGH PRESSURE RIDGE CENTERED OVER THE NORTHERN GULF
WILL MAINTAIN LIGHT SOUTHERLY WINDS OVER THE AREA TODAY. MID AND
UPPER LEVEL RIDGING WILL BUILD IN FROM THE WEST. THE RESULT WILL
BE CONTINUED WARMER THAN NORMAL TEMPS WITH MUGGY NIGHTS OVER THE
NEXT SEVERAL DAYS.

SHORT TERM...LITTLE CHANGE. RAIN CHANCES HAVE BEEN REDUCED ON
FRIDAY WITH CAPPING AND SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW NOTED. UPPER TROFFING
LOOKS TO BE SUFFICIENTLY DISPLACED TO THE EAST TO PRECLUDE ANY
INTRUSION OF A BACK DOOR TYPE COLD FRONT INTO OUR AREA.

LONG TERM...NEXT MENTIONABLE CHANCE FOR RAIN LOOKS TO LATER NEXT
WEEK AS RIDGING WEAKENS AND MOISTURE BUILDS IN THE LOW LEVELS.
