Northwesterly winds around 5 knots prevail this afternoon, except for becoming southerly 5 to 10 knots at the immediate coast, then a light northerly flow follows for tonight. A northeasterly flow around 5 knots is expected for Saturday morning. /29-- End Changed Discussion --&& .NEAR TERM...-- Changed Discussion --(Now through Saturday) Issued at 1234 PM CDT Fri Jun 7 2024 A broad upper ridge over the south central states and 4-Corners region shifts eastward to become centered mostly over the northern Gulf states and much of the Gulf. A weak frontal boundary is currently located near or just south of the coast currently, and an old outflow boundary is seen in the current satellite loop from near the mouth of the Mississippi to near Apalachicola. The potential for convective development along the weak frontal boundary looks increasingly dubious before the boundary progresses offshore and have opted to remove the current slight chance pops for the coastal counties this afternoon. Dry conditions follow for tonight and Saturday as the upper ridge builds into the region along with progressively drier air, precluding the potential for convective development. Lows tonight range from the lower 60s well inland to around 70/lower 70s at the immediate coast. A low risk of rip currents is expected through Saturday. /29-- End Changed Discussion --&& .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...-- Changed Discussion --Mobile 67 92 70 93 73 93 73 90 / 0 0 0 10 10 50 40 60 Pensacola 70 90 73 91 75 92 76 89 / 0 0 0 10 10 50 50 60 Destin 73 89 74 89 77 90 77 88 / 0 0 0 10 10 50 50 60 Evergreen 62 92 65 95 70 94 70 90 / 0 0 0 10 10 50 40 60 Waynesboro 62 92 67 95 70 93 69 88 / 0 0 0 10 10 50 30 50 Camden 61 90 64 94 70 92 68 88 / 0 0 0 0 10 40 30 50 Crestview 64 94 65 96 69 95 71 92 / 0 0 0 10 10 50 40 60-- End Changed Discussion --&& .MOB WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
