(Now through Thursday) Issued at 343 PM CST Wed Jan 22 2025 Dry conditions continue over the area through Thursday. With snowpack in place roughly along and south of a line from Greenville, Alabama to just north of Wiggins, Mississippi, this will contribute to enhanced radiational cooling tonight. Have issued an Extreme Cold Warning for the entire area which will be in effect from 9 pm this evening. The criteria for this product is apparent temperature values of 10 or lower over interior areas and 15 or lower for our southern portion, and anticipate apparent temperature values to be similar in these respective areas. Lows tonight mostly range from 9 to 15. Highs on Thursday range from the mid 30s to mid 40s. A low risk of rip currents is expected through Thursday. /29 && .LONG TERM... (Thursday night through Wednesday) Issued at 343 PM CST Wed Jan 22 2025 A massive positively tilted upper trof over the central and eastern CONUS ejects off across the eastern states and into the western Atlantic through Friday night. Another upper trof meanwhile develops over the western states, then heading into Monday this feature splits and forms a cut off upper low near the Baja to 4 Corners area while the remainder of the upper trof moves into the eastern CONUS. A surface low passes well to the north and is expected to bring a weak trailing cold front slowly through the forecast area on Monday. A Cold Weather Advisory may become necessary for much of the area Thursday night and Friday night for apparent temperature values dropping to 20-25. Temperatures then begin to moderate somewhat for Saturday into Saturday night ahead of the approaching front. Dry conditions are expected over the area through Saturday night, then rain chances increase to mostly chance to good chance pops by Sunday night with chance pops for Monday. Lows Sunday night drop to the mid 30s well inland, but at this time the precipitation looks to remain as a cold rain. Dry conditions then prevail for Monday night into Tuesday. A low risk of rip currents is expected from Thursday night through Sunday. /29 && .MARINE... Issued at 343 PM CST Wed Jan 22 2025 Light to moderate northeasterly winds switch to a northerly direction tonight. A light to moderate easterly to southeasterly flow will develop for this weekend.
