...New AVIATION, NEAR TERM...

.AVIATION...
(18Z TAFS)
Issued at 105 PM CDT Tue Mar 26 2024

Isolated to scattered showers currently located mostly east of
I-65 will shift eastward out of the area through the afternoon.
MVFR conditions will accompany the precipitation with otherwise

.NEAR TERM...
(Now through Wednesday)
Issued at 105 PM CDT Tue Mar 26 2024

A cold front has completed moving through the forecast area and
exited to the east, and showers currently located mainly east of
I-65 taper off leaving dry conditions later this afternoon. A
large upper trof spanning much of the CONUS amplifies a bit while
progressing slowly to over the central and eastern CONUS through
Wednesday. The cold front which exited to the east of the area
meanwhile looks to become nearly stationary over the far northeast
Gulf into Georgia. A secondary cold front (associated with a
surface low well to the north) slowly moves through the forecast
area tonight and both fronts nearly join together later on
Wednesday. This leaves the forecast area in a persistent dry
northerly flow through the period, and have gone with a dry
forecast through Wednesday. Lows tonight range from the mid 40s
well inland to the lower/mid 50s near the coast. Highs on
Wednesday will be in the lower to mid 70s. A High Risk of rip
currents is in effect through the period, and a High Surf
Advisory is in effect until 10 am Wednesday, by which time surf
heights of 4-7 feet will have subsided sufficiently. /29
