(Now through Thursday) Issued at 159 PM CDT Wed May 22 2024 Upper level ridging will shift slightly south out over the Gulf tonight and Thursday, with nearly zonal flow aloft expected over our area. Surface high pressure, centered in the Atlantic off the US east coast will continue to ridge into the region from the east, while a frontal boundary stalls well to our northwest. With this pattern, a persistent, light south to southeast flow will continue, with atmospheric moisture gradually increasing. Although moisture will be increasing, high pressure will remain firm across our area, so any weather associated with the frontal boundary will weaken as well as remain to our west and northwest. There could be a very isolated shower or storm associated with the late afternoon heating and the sea breeze circulation near the coast, but chances are far too low to include a PoP or QPF and the dry pattern with mostly clear skies (with scattered to broken cumulus during the afternoon hours) and above normal warmth will continue. Lows tonight will range from the low/mid 60s inland to the lower 70s closer to the coast, and mid 70s along the immediate beaches and barrier islands. Temperatures will remain quite warm, with highs in the upper 80s to around 90 inland and low to mid 80s near and along the coast. DS/12
