.AVIATION...
(18Z TAFS)
Issued at 134 PM CDT Mon May 20 2024

VFR conditions prevail for the next 24 hours with the exception of
some localized patchy fog late tonight across the area, primarily
across portions of interior southeast Mississippi. Light easterly
to southeasterly 5 to 10 knot winds today becoming light and
variable for most locations tonight (except still predominately
southeasterly near the coast). On Tuesday expect light south to
southeasterly winds across the entire area. DS/12

.NEAR TERM...
(Now through Tuesday)
Issued at 134 PM CDT Mon May 20 2024

Forecast for this afternoon is in good shape, with partly cloudy
skies, light winds and warm (hot) temperatures expected to
continue. Temperatures are currently in the low 80s along the
coast to mid 80s inland, and will likely top out in the upper 80s
for most interior locations later this afternoon.

Dry conditions will continue across the forecast area tonight
through Tuesday as deep ridging continues to build across over
Mississippi, Alabama and the western Florida panhandle. Upper level
troughing continues off the Atlantic coast and also over the western
third of the CONUS. Increasing subsidence from the riding will
continue to prevent formation of any showers or storms through the
near term, and also allow for above normal temperatures. Expect
mostly clear skies tonight and then a continuation of partly cloudy
skies on Tuesday with daytime heating. Light and variable winds for
most locations tonight, then expect a light southeast to southerly
flow on Tuesday, slightly stronger near the coast during the
afternoon hours.

As previously mentioned, temperatures will be a little above normal
both tonight and Tuesday. Lows tonight will mainly be ranging from
the mid 60s over most interior locations to the upper 60s and lower
70s closer to and along the coast. High temperatures on Tuesday will
again be quite warm, primarily warming into the upper 80s for most
locations (perhaps a few lower 90s, especially over portions of
southeast Mississippi), and in the mid 80s near the coast (with a
few lower 80s possible along the beaches and barrier islands).
