.SHORT TERM...
(This evening through Sunday night)
Issued at 220 PM CDT Sat Apr 12 2025

Beautiful spring conditions continue with near normal temperatures
in the low to mid 70s today as post-frontal drier air mixes in
from the north. Surface high pressure behind the front will move
southeast by Sunday allowing winds to become southerly again, but
no substantive moisture return will be expected as the pressure
gradient remains fairly weak through Sunday night. No weather 
hazards to discuss. Enjoy your weekend!

.LONG TERM...
(Monday through Friday night)
Issued at 220 PM CDT Sat Apr 12 2025

Southerly winds will allow for gradual moisture from the southwest
Gulf on Monday into Tuesday ahead of our next frontal system. This
will also boost highs back to near 80F for Sunday and Monday. Dew
points will be back into the upper 50s to low 60s so humidity 
will be a bit more noticeable on Monday. However, yet another 
shortwave trough will dive out of the Pacific Northwest on Monday 
supplying another welcomed shot of cooler, drier continental air 
on Tuesday. Tuesday will feature a bit more cloud cover as this
front passes and cannot rule out a stray shower or sprinkle, but
any rain looks highly unlikely to be measurable.

By Wednesday, this frontal passage will knock dew points back 
into the 40s to upper 30s across much of the northern Gulf coast
with some refreshing cool mornings in the 50s on Wednesday and
Thursday. Soak this weather up as much as you can though because
we do appear to see this longwave east coast trough regime come to
an end by next weekend where we could see our next more legitimate
chance for rain. West coast troughing and a more active weather 
pattern is beginning to increasingly be favored into the last 
weeks of April.

Northerly winds will ease through the day today becoming light and

variable early before shifting back from the north as another front 
moves to the coast. Winds will shift to easterly by early Wed and 
continue shifting to a SE direction by late Wed rising to around 
15kt to finish out the week.
