.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 408 AM CDT Thu May 22 2025

A dry end to the week as our "cool" front has now moved offshore
of the area as zonal flow sets up across the deep south. Expect
dry conditions through Friday night With temperatures just
hovering in the low 90s. The only real exciting thing will be the
lower dewpoints today making the heat a little more manageable.
Unfortunately we live on the gulf coast and this only lasts a day
as dewpoints quickly increase on Friday in response to our
upcoming pattern change.

The pattern turns more unsettled as we roll into early next week.
Zonal flow aloft will gradually turn northwesterly as a ridge
builds to our west. A parade of subtle shortwaves will trek
through the northwesterly flow over the weekend leading to
scattered showers and storms. The best chance for rain will be
generally northwest of the I-65 corridor over the weekend where
forcing would be a little better. However, storms could meander to
the coastal areas as each individual shortwave moves through the
deep south. Flow will gradually become more zonal by the beginning
of next week leading to an increase in rain chances. Several
rounds of showers and storms will be expected during the week
next week. A surface low slides across the Mid- South, sending a
cold front into our area late on Tuesday or Wednesday. BB-8
