.SHORT TERM...
(Tonight through Tuesday night)
Issued at 447 PM CDT Sun Sep 29 2024

Expecting the same weather to prevail over the short term period.
Northerly flow will continue the feed of dry, slightly cooler air
into the region resulting in nice conditions and seasonable
temperatures.

And this same pattern will be in place over the short term period.
During daytime, expect sunny skies and temps in the upper 80s to
lower 90s. Evenings will be pleasant with temps falling quickly
after sundown, eventually bottoming out in the upper 60s.

.LONG TERM...
(Wednesday through next Saturday)
Issued at 447 PM CDT Sun Sep 29 2024

There are a few big talking points in the longterm: cold front
towards the end of the work week and tropical activity in the
GoM.

Currents aloft speed up towards the start of the longterm period,
resulting in swift response at the surface. High pressure dives
into the central US on Wednesday, driving a cold front down
towards the southeast US. At the same time,a tropical wave is set
to move into the central GoM. The front should move down into the
region on Wednesday, sending cool, dry air down into the northern
Gulf and sweeping this tropical wave to the east. However, there
is time for the forecast to change. Those along the coastline
should keep a close eye on the forecast.

Temperatures in the longterm are forecast to top out in the upper
80s in response to the cold front. Lows could drop into the low to
mid 60s by next weekend.
