scattered to broken MVFR ceilings this afternoon. Mainly light (5

.NEAR TERM...
(Now through Friday)
Issued at 117 PM CDT Thu May 23 2024

Surface ridging holds firm across the area through tonight.
Currently watching a MCS moving across northern Mississippi, but
CAM`s all insist that this system will fizzle and/or be deflected
from our area due to the strong ridging. As such, we are generally
not expecting any precipitation for our area through tonight,
although an isolated shower or storm could be possible north of the
Highway 84 corridor this afternoon. The majority of the area will
remain dry with partly cloudy skies. Temperatures are currently in
the low to mid 80s across the region, and will likely top out in the
upper 80s over most inland locations this afternoon. Lows tonight
should fall into the upper 60s to around 70 inland to low to mid 70s
along the coast. On Friday expect another very warm day with highs
in the low to mid 80s at the coast and upper 80s (to lower 90s over
interior southeast MS) for all inland areas. DS/12
