DISCUSSION
THERE MAY BE QUITE THE DICHOTOMY ACROSS THE REGION THE NEXT
2 DAYS. THAT BACKDOOR COLD FRONT CONTINUES TO SINK ACROSS THE
REGION AND SHOULD FINALLY MOVE COMPLETELY IN THE GULF RIGHT
AROUND SUNRISE BUT THE WESTERN PORTIONS OF THE FRONT WILL BEGIN
TO HANG BACK TO THE NORTHWEST. BEHIND IT WE WILL SEE DRIER AIR
WORK IN FROM THE NORTHEAST AND THERE IS A GOOD CHANCE THAT
DEWPOINTS COULD DROP INTO THE UPPER 50S TO LOWER 60S FOR AREAS
EAST OF I-55 AND NORTH OF THE 10/12 CORRIDOR. HOWEVER, THE REST
OF THE AREA WILL LIKELY SEE DEWPOINTS REMAIN IN THE MID 60S TO
NEAR 70. IN ADDITION EVEN WITH THE FRONT SLIDING JUST OFF THE
COAST WE LIKELY WON'T REMOVE THE RAIN CHANCES FOR PORTIONS OF THE
AREA. THE RAIN POTENTIAL WILL REMAIN ON THE HIGHER THAN AVERAGE
SIDE ALONG AND SOUTHWEST OF THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER TODAY AND
TOMORROW. BY FRIDAY THE FRONT WILL BE ALL BUT FORGOTTEN AND
RETURN FLOW WILL SETUP WITH MOISTURE QUICKLY INCREASING AND
EXPANDING NORTH. THIS WILL INCREASE AND THAT WILL THE RAIN
POTENTIAL FRIDAY AND THROUGH THE WEEKEND. WITH THAT THE FIRE
CONCERNS ARE AT A MINIMAL GIVEN THE AMOUNT OF RAIN WE HAVE SEEN
RECENTLY ALONG WITH THE AMOUNT OF MOISTURE THAT WILL STILL BE IN
PLACE MIN RH VALUES REMAIN AROUND 65% OR HIGHER. ONLY CONCERN
WOULD BE WINDS AS THEY COULD BE A LITTLE GUSTY IN THE MIDDAY TO
AFTERNOON HOURS BUT THESE WONT BE AN ISSUE GIVEN THE OVERALL
HUMID AND WET SETUP WE HAVE IN PLACE.
REMARKS
1. DRIER AIR IS MIXING IN WITH A BACKDOOR FRONT SO FOG IS NOT
EXPECTED.
2. SEA BREEZE WILL BE WEAKER AND REMAIN NEAR THE SHORE AS EAST-
NORTHEAST WINDS INHIBIT NORTHERWARD ADVANCEMENT.
