160 FXUS64 KMEG 110430 AFDMEG Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Memphis TN 1130 PM CDT Wed Jul 10 2024 ...New AVIATION... .SYNOPSIS... Issued at 205 PM CDT Wed Jul 10 2024 Pleasant temperatures and dry conditions will prevail across the Mid-South today. Patchy fog is possible overnight. A gradual warming trend will start tomorrow, with hot and humid conditions returning to the region as early as Sunday. && .DISCUSSION... (This evening through next Tuesday) Issued at 205 PM CDT Wed Jul 10 2024 Dry air filtering in on the back side of Post-Tropical Cyclone Beryl has created a beautiful day across the Mid-South. Highs will be sub-90 degrees today with clear skies and low humidity. Dry air may preclude dense fog, but light winds and clear skies may still allow patchy fog development tonight. Unfortunately, this pleasant mid-July cooldown will not last for long. As surface ridging builds over the southeast, temperatures will gradually be on the climb through the end of the week. The good news is that this airmass is still relatively dry, so albeit a bit hot, humidity will remain on the mild side for the rest of the week. This ridging also means we`ll have little to no chance of rain for the next several days. In the extended forecast, heat and humidity really ramp up early next week as the surface ridge amplifies over east Tennessee. Southerly flow will allow deep Gulf Coast moisture advection up the Lower MS River Valley, surging dewpoints into the mid to upper 70s Sunday through Tuesday. The NBM is even showing a few pixels of at least 20% probabilities of temperatures above 100 degrees starting Sunday. This hot and humid combination will likely warrant heat headlines as early as Sunday, but most definitely at some point early next week. The CPC outlook for the remainder of July suggests at least a 40% chance of above normal temperatures; the heat is here to stay for at least the next 2 weeks. CAD && .AVIATION... (06Z TAFS) Issued at 1130 PM CDT Wed Jul 10 2024 VFR conditions will prevail through the period under high pressure. Winds will remain light and variable.
