.NEAR TERM...
(Now through Monday)
Issued at 336 AM CDT Sun May 19 2024

Dry conditions will persist through Monday as deep ridging becomes
reestablished across the southeast states. Skies will be mostly
clear to clear, along with warmer temperatures and light north
winds shifting to the east. High temperatures this afternoon will
rebound to near to above seasonal norms, ranging from the mid to
upper 80s for most locations, with a few lower 80s possible along
the beaches. Lows tonight will be above normal, ranging from 62 to
66 degrees interior areas and from 66 to 71 degrees close to the
coast. High temperatures Monday should be in the mid to upper 80s
for most locations, and around 90 degrees across southeast
Mississippi. /22

.SHORT AND LONG TERM...
(Monday Night through Saturday)
Issued at 336 AM CDT Sun May 19 2024

Dry and warm weather is expected through much of this week as an
upper level ridge builds in from the southwestern Gulf. Surface
high pressure will keep winds mainly out of the east on Tuesday
before shifting to the south on Wednesday. High temperatures are
expected to rise into the upper 80s and lower 90s most afternoons
with lows falling into the 60s inland and the lower 70s along the
coast. The next chance for rain tries to enter back into the
forecast on Friday and potentially on Saturday as the upper ridge
flattens and a shortwave slides eastward across the Mid South and
Southeastern States. A weak front associated with this shortwave
feature will push into the Midsouth and Southeastern States, but
there is still some question as to how far south the front will go
given the dominating surface high pressure to our east. For now,
have maintained the 15-25% PoP over interior portions of southeast
Mississippi, southwest and south central Alabama on Friday
afternoon, but it`s possible that the influence of the surface
high pressure could keep better subsidence in place and therefore
limit rain chances. There`s also the possiblity that the shortwave
could become more amplified which would increase rain chances
over interior areas. We`ll continue to narrow down the specifics
as we get closer in time and in the meantime, enjoy the dry, warm,
and mostly sunny skies. /14
