.NEAR TERM...
(Now through Thursday)
Issued at 448 AM CDT Wed Sep 4 2024
A wet pattern sets up today through the end of the work week as
southerly flow around a weak area of low pressure in the northwest
Gulf brings deep layer moisture into the area. Precipitable water
values in the 2-2.5 inch range will move into the area this
afternoon and continue through Friday. This increased moisture
combined with a developing trough over the eastern states on
Friday will lead to the development of scattered to numerous
showers and thunderstorms. The highest rain chances will be across
the southern third of the area with lower POPs to the north.
Severe storms are not expected due to the saturated profile aloft
along with weak shear. However, depending on where the heavier
rain sets up, localized flooding issues cannot be ruled out. The
good news is that high temps will be 10-15 degrees below normal
due to the increased cloud cover and rainfall. /13

.SHORT THROUGH LONG TERM...
(Saturday through Tuesday)
Issued at 448 AM CDT Wed Sep 4 2024
Friday night into the weekend, a mean upper level trough moves over
the Southeast, with a strong embedded shortwave trough moving off. A
surface boundary that has organized over the north-central Gulf
coast moves south over the Gulf before stalling, to varying extents.
Dry, somewhat cooler, northerly air moves south over the forecast
area in the wake of the front. By Sunday, moisture levels vary
significantly in the deterministic guidance, depending on where the
front stalls. From around 0.5" well inland to 1" along the coast to
0.5" well inland to around 1.5" south of I-10. The ensembles and
about half of the deterministic guidance leans towards the latter,
so have left PoPs in south of I-65 through the weekend into the
coming week. With the drier air pushing further south west of the
Mobile River, have left the higher PoPs further inland east of the
Bay.
Temperatures rebound from the Near Term well below seasonal to
closer to seasonal norms in the Near Term to closer to, but still a
bit below seasonal norms in the coming week due to the northerly
flow. High temperatures ranging from around 80 to mid 80s Saturday
to mid to upper 80s by Tuesday. The drier air will help low
temperatures to drop to well below seasonal norms this weekend. Low
temperatures in the mid 60s to low 70s south of I-10 to the upper
50s well north of Highway 84 to upper 60s along the coast Saturday
and Sunday nights. Low temperatures slowly rebound in the coming
week, to the low 60s well north of Highway 84 to low 70s near the
coast Tuesday night.
Taking a look in the tropics, guidance continues to advertise a
tropical wave passing south of Cuba this weekend, with some
organizing the system into a tropical system. Guidance is
consistent in moving the system towards the Yucatan peninsula, then
the southwestern Gulf of Mexico/Bay of Campeche.
