PREV DISCUSSION... /Issued 720 PM EDT Tue Jun 5 2018/ 

SHORT TERM /Tonight through Wednesday Night/...
Dry weather is expected to continue through the short term. The
dry airmass over the area is expected to stay in place even with a
short wave moving SE out of the lower MS river valley and into
Northern FL by Wed morning. Surface high pressure will continue to
settle into the southeast keeping the low-mid level skies clear
with some scattered cirrus in the upper levels. Low temps will
continue in he 60s to near 70 with high temps in the upper 80s to
near 90.

LONG TERM /Thursday through Tuesday/...
No major changes needed to the extended portion of the forecast. The 
CWFA should remain under the influence of high pressure through the 
weekend, but a frontal passage is expected early next week.

Prolonged surface winds off of the Atlantic will help increase low 
level moisture through the weekend, but the chances for pops should 
remain AOB 30 percent for most areas. Precip chances really begin to 
increase late Sunday into early Monday as a cold front approaches 
from the north. This boundary is expected to move through the 
remainder of the forecast area on Tuesday. At this time, the highest 
pops will be for Monday and Tuesday of next week. Until, typical 
summertime (mostly diurnal) convection should be the rule.
