Re-development of showers and storms is possible over the nearshore waters and along the coast in the morning while transitioning inland through the afternoon on Thursday.

AVIATION... (00Z TAFS) Issued at 633 PM CDT Wed Jul 10 2024 VFR conditions will generally prevail tonight and into the overnight hours. Brief reductions in ceilings and visibilities are possible as early as 11-12z along the coastline as showers and storms develop over the Gulf. Showers and storms may begin to impact inland terminals by early Thursday afternoon. 07/mb PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 213 PM CDT Wed Jul 10 2024/ .New NEAR TERM, SHORT TERM, LONG TERM, MARINE... NEAR TERM... (Now through Thursday) Issued at 213 PM CDT Wed Jul 10 2024 A weak frontal boundary remains draped just off the Gulf Coast, where earlier showers and thunderstorms have dissipated. Isolated showers will remain possible south of I-10 through the afternoon hours, but most of the activity is expected to remain offshore and chances are relatively low. North of I-10, drier air has filtered in behind the boundary as high pressure builds southward. This will keep rain chances minimal, with clouds slowly eroding through the afternoon hours. Given the slower warm up due to the clouds, temperatures will be a bit more mild today, as highs warm into the upper 80s to lower 90s. The surface boundary will remain in the vicinity through the end of the period, with a similar trend in rain chances through Thursday. Expect another round of showers and thunderstorms to develop during the predawn hours on Thursday, mainly south of I-10, with showers and thunderstorms dissipating in the afternoon as a shortwave lifts northeast of the area. After a mild overnight period, with lows falling into the low to mid 70s, highs on Thursday will climb into the upper 80s to lower 90s once again. /73 SHORT/LONG TERM... (Thursday night through Wednesday) Issued at 509 AM CDT Wed Jul 10 2024 The forecast area will remain on the periphery of a mid level trough moving through the Ohio and TN Valleys and mid level ridging to our southeast. Several shortwaves are expected to move through the southwest flow aloft, with moisture continually filtering into the region. This will keep scattered thunderstorms in the forecast through Friday, with the better chances along our southern areas. The trough will weaken over the weekend as it moves eastward, while high pressure builds at the surface and aloft. Diurnally driven thunderstorms will remain possible through the middle part of next week, with the highest coverage in the afternoon. Temperatures through the period will be seasonably warm, with highs each afternoon warming into the lower to mid 90s, and overnight lows falling into the lower 70s over our interior counties to upper 70s along the coast. Excessive heat will become a concern towards the latter half of the weekend, as heat indices approach 110 degrees and overnight lows remain above 75 degrees. /73 MARINE... Issued at 213 PM CDT Wed Jul 10 2024 Light to moderate southwesterly to westerly flow prevails through tonight. Light westerly to southwesterly winds return on Thursday and will generally persist through the weekend. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
