.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 447 AM CDT Wed May 14 2025
Now Through Thursday Night...
A northwesterly flow pattern aloft will persist through Thursday
as an upper ridge builds over the Gulf. Its axis passes overhead
Thursday night. At the surface, high pressure remains planted over
the Florida Peninsula, helping to maintain southwesterly winds
across the area. With strong subsidence in place and PWATs only
around an inch, no rain is expected through the period.
Temperatures and dew points will continue to increase as ridging
builds in and low-level moisture advects in from the Gulf. Highs
today will reach the mid to upper 80s, increasing to the upper 80s
to low 90s for Thursday. Lows tonight and Thursday night will
only drop into the upper 60s to low 70s. A Moderate Risk of rip
currents will be in place through the period, although a brief
High Risk cannot be ruled out for Thursday morning. /96
Friday Through Tuesday...
The upper ridge over the southeast states will become rather
flattened Friday night through Saturday as a upper closed low
pressure area over northern Minnesota moves eastward over the Great
Lakes region. Another upper ridge will then build over the eastern
CONUS Sunday night into Tuesday. There is not a lot happening in the
low levels as a surface ridge extending from the western Atlantic
into the eastern Gulf persists, thus maintaining a light southerly
flow through the period.
This pattern will keep temperatures above normal, with highs
averaging about 4 to 8 degrees above normal interior areas and from
1 to 3 degrees above normal closer to the coast. We are not making
any modifications to the NBM guidance, and expect highs to range
from 90 to 95 degrees interior areas, and from 85 to 90 degrees
closer to the coast. Apparent temperatures (heat indices) are
expected to be in mid to upper 90s each day away from the immediate
coast. Lows will average about 8 to 12 degrees above normal across
the entire forecast area, and settle in the upper 60s to lower 70s.
We should see mid 70s along the beaches each night.
There could be some isolated to low-end scattered showers and
thunderstorms north of U.S. Highway 84 over the weekend as the upper
closed low pressure area passes well to our north and upper level
impulses traverse our region in zonal flow aloft. Otherwise it will
be dry. /22
