.NEAR TERM...
(Now through Wednesday)
Issued at 400 PM CDT Tue Aug 20 2024

Cooler and drier conditions continue through Wednesday night. The
upper trough will continue to deepen across the eastern US while 
upper ridging builds over the west. A subtle shortwave will move 
through the northwesterly flow Wednesday afternoon bringing maybe 
just enough ascent for some high clouds across the are. At the 
surface the cold front has pushed well into the central Gulf. 
Dewpoints have dropped into the mid 60s this afternoon and will 
remain in the mid to low 60s through the forecast. While high 
temperatures will still climb into the 90s, it just won't feel as 
bad out with the lower moisture values. Overall a rather nice 
couple days expected for mid August. BB/03

.SHORT AND LONG TERM...
(Thursday through Tuesday) 
Issued at 400 PM CDT Tue Aug 20 2024

A weak upper level low is forecast to develop over the deep south
Thursday into Friday and gradually drift westward across the 
northern Gulf through the end of the week. An east to southeast
sfc flow pattern will bring enough Gulf and Atlantic moisture into
the area for a return to scattered to locally numerous showers 
and thunderstorms on Thursday mainly east of I-65. Isolated to 
scattered showers and storms will continue each day into early 
next week mainly over the southern half of the area.

Highs will be in the low to mid 90s each afternoon. Conditions 
will become increasingly more humid each day as moisture levels 
increase. /13

.MARINE...
Issued at 400 PM CDT Tue Aug 20 2024

Offshore flow should persist through Wednesday night before 
turning more easterly and increasing again as a upper level low 
forms over the Gulf. Increased rains and seas are expected by the 
weekend. BB/03
