NEAR TERM
(Now through Wednesday)
Issued at 358 PM CDT Tue May 21 2024

Upper level ridging will continue to extend from the western Gulf of Mexico and into our region through Wednesday afternoon. A surface ridge of high pressure will meanwhile remain positioned along much of the Eastern Seaboard and Western Atlantic. A light southeasterly to southerly low level flow pattern will continue through Wednesday, allowing for continued warm and rather humid conditions across our forecast area. Rain chances remain almost nil with the upper ridge remaining the dominant feature aloft over our region. Conditions may become favorable for the development of patchy fog after midnight through around 8 AM or so Wednesday morning over interior portions of southeast MS, southwest/south central AL, and perhaps into the interior western FL panhandle.
Lows tonight are forecast to range in the lower to mid 60s over inland communities and in the mid 60s to near 70 degrees along the immediate coast and beaches. Another warm day is anticipated on Wednesday with high temperatures once again ranging in the upper 80s to around 90 degrees over most locations along and north of I-10 and in the lower to mid 80s along the immediate coast and beaches. /21

LONG TERM
(Wednesday night through Tuesday)
Issued at 358 PM CDT Tue May 21 2024

A continuation of warm/muggy conditions will persist through the remainder of the week and into the upcoming holiday weekend. Upper level ridging will remain oriented across our forecast area through Wednesday night before flow aloft generally flattens and becomes more zonal Thursday and Friday. Periodic shortwave impulses in the zonal flow aloft and associated rain/thunderstorm chances still look to remain focused well to our north through the latter part of the week. POPs remain below mentionable levels through Friday, although isolated showers or a thunderstorm cannot be entirely ruled out over the northern half of our forecast area on Friday afternoon. Embedded shortwave impulses may tend to advance a little further south and potentially bring a slightly better potential for isolated convection over our northern zones this weekend. POPs still remain low (15-20% chance at best)
Saturday and Sunday. A more potent shortwave trough may push across our region Monday into Monday night or early Tuesday of next week. This feature could bring a better chance of showers and thunderstorms back into the forecast. Confidence in timing is low, so we followed the NBM solution with POPs capped at 20-30% both days.

Temperatures and humidity will gradually trend higher as we go into the latter part of the week and into the upcoming holiday weekend. High temperatures may range between 90-95 over much of the interior this weekend, with lows at night only falling to between 70-75. Afternoon heat index readings are also forecast to trend higher in the mid 90s to around 102 degrees this weekend into early next week. /21

Beach Note: Rip current risk remains LOW through Saturday with the RCMOS probabilities remaining LOW through at least Sunday.
Probabilities do begin to increase toward the MODERATE category by the afternoon hours on Memorial Day. 07/mb

MARINE
Issued at 358 PM CDT Tue May 21 2024

A mainly light southeasterly to southerly flow pattern will continue over the marine area through the remainder of the week.
Winds may be locally enhanced near the immediate coast each afternoon with the development of a daily seabreeze. /21
