.AVIATION...
(18Z TAFS)
Issued at 1251 PM CDT Sun May 19 2024

.NEAR TERM...
(Now through Monday)
Issued at 1251 PM CDT Sun May 19 2024

The remnants of last night`s mesoscale system are noted on visible
satellite to be swirling over central Georgia. An area of broken
clouds that were associated with an outflow boundary from this
feature and were moving south across our forecast area early this
morning have dissipated, with now only scattered cumulus
associated with daytime heating noted. Should remain dry this
afternoon, with max temperatures climbing into the mid and upper
80s as expected.

Dry conditions will persist tonight through Monday as deep ridging
becomes reestablished across Mississippi, Alabama and the western
Florida panhandle and the upper trough moves off the Atlantic coast.
Subsidence from the riding should prevent any showers or storms from
developing, and also allow for daytime temperatures to heat up on
Monday. Skies should be mostly clear tonight, and then partly cloudy
on Monday. Light and variable winds for most locations tonight,
expect for near the coast where a light offshore flow may persist.
Primarily light easterly winds across most of the area on Monday, but
with a slightly stronger onshore flow along the coast during the
afternoon hours.

Lows tonight will be above normal, ranging from the low to mid 60s
over interior locations and from the mid/upper 60s to the lower 70s
closer to and along the coast. High temperatures Monday primarily be
in the upper 80s for most locations, with a few lower 90s possible
over interior southeast Mississippi and in the mid 80s along the
immediate coast. DS/12
