A LARGE UPPER RIDGE CENTERED OVER THE REGION AND STRETCHING TO
ACROSS THE NORTHERN PLAINS GRADUALLY BECOMES ORIENTED ACROSS MUCH
OF THE SOUTHERN CONUS OVER THE WEEKEND. A SERIES OF MODEST
SHORTWAVES ROTATING THROUGH THE UPPER LEVEL PATTERN ALLOW FOR A
MINOR WEAKNESS IN THE UPPER RIDGE TO DEVELOP MAINLY OVER THE
EASTERN HALF OF THE FORECAST AREA ON FRIDAY AND BECOME MORE CENTERED
OVER THE AREA ON SATURDAY. THIS ALLOWS FOR SOMEWHAT MORE
CONVECTION TO DEVELOP EACH AFTERNOON, AND HAVE GONE WITH SLIGHT
CHANCE TO CHANCE POPS ON FRIDAY ALONG AND EAST OF I-65, THEN
INCLUDING A BIT MORE OF THE AREA ON SATURDAY. THE UPPER LEVEL
WEAKNESS LOOKS TO MOSTLY DISSIPATE BY SUNDAY BUT SUFFICIENT TO
ALLOW FOR SLIGHT CHANCE TO CHANCE POPS OVER THE SOUTHERN HALF OF
THE AREA. THE UPPER RIDGE SLOWLY NARROWS OVER THE REGION AND
BECOMES ORIENTED MAINLY ALONG THE NORTHERN GULF COAST MONDAY THEN
WEAKENS TUESDAY ALONG WITH SOME SHORTWAVES STARTING TO MOVE
ACROSS THE AREA. MONDAY LOOKS MOSTLY DRY EXCEPT FOR ISOLATED
CONVECTION DEVELOPING MAINLY NEAR THE COAST IN THE AFTERNOON, THEN
SLIGHT CHANCE TO CHANCE POPS RETURN TO THE ENTIRE AREA BY TUESDAY
WITH SIMILAR RAIN CHANCES FOLLOWING FOR WEDNESDAY.
HOT CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED FRIDAY ON THROUGH WEDNESDAY WITH
AFTERNOON HIGHS REACHING MOSTLY 95 TO 100, POTENTIALLY A BIT
HOTTER SUNDAY AND MONDAY WHERE SOME LOCATIONS MOSTLY OVER
SOUTHEAST MISSISSIPPI MAY SEE HIGHS REACH 102. HEAT INDEX VALUES
OF MOSTLY 108-112 ARE EXPECTED ON FRIDAY, AND A HEAT ADVISORY
REMAINS IN EFFECT FOR THE ENTIRE AREA FROM 11 AM UNTIL 8 PM.
SIMILAR HEAT INDEX VALUES ARE ANTICIPATED EACH DAY ON THROUGH
WEDNESDAY, WITH ADDITIONAL HEAT ADVISORIES LIKELY BECOMING
NECESSARY. A LOW RISK OF RIP CURRENTS IS EXPECTED THROUGH MONDAY,
EXCEPT FOR A MODERATE RISK OF RIP CURRENTS FOR THE WESTERN FLORIDA
PANHANDLE ON MONDAY. /29
