.NEAR TERM...
(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
