AN UPPER LOW WHICH ADVANCES FROM THE FAR WESTERN ATLANTIC INTO THE
EASTERN GULF. A SURFACE RIDGE OVER THE INTERIOR EASTERN STATES

TUESDAY. DESPITE SUBSIDENCE ASSOCIATED WITH THE UPPER RIDGE
BUILDING INTO THE AREA, MAY SEE ISOLATED SHOWERS AND STORMS
DEVELOP MONDAY AFTERNOON OVER SOUTHEAST MISSISSIPPI AND
SOUTHWESTERN ALABAMA AIDED BY THE SEA BREEZE AND A SERIES OF WEAK
UPPER LEVEL SHORTWAVES. WITH SUBSIDENCE EFFECTS BECOMING MORE
PRONOUNCED ON TUESDAY, ANTICIPATE DRY CONDITIONS TO PREVAIL
ALTHOUGH MAY SEE SOME CONVECTIVE DEVELOPMENT OVER EXTREME
SOUTHEAST MISSISSIPPI. A SURGE IN THE EASTERLY WINDS ACCOMPANYING
THE SURFACE RIDGE BUILDING INTO THE REGION LOOKS TO LEAD TO
ISOLATED TO SCATTERED SHOWERS AND STORMS DEVELOPING MAINLY OVER
THE MARINE AREA TUESDAY NIGHT WHICH THEN MOVES OFF TO THE WEST ON
WEDNESDAY. WHILE DRY CONDITIONS OTHERWISE PREVAIL OVER LAND AREAS
TUESDAY NIGHT AND WEDNESDAY, THIS MAY BRING SOME ISOLATED
CONVECTION MAINLY TO COASTAL ALABAMA LATE TUESDAY NIGHT INTO
WEDNESDAY MORNING.
DRY CONDITIONS FOLLOW FOR THURSDAY, THEN AS THE UPPER LOW AND AN
ASSOCIATED INVERTED SURFACE TROF MOVE INTO THE EASTERN GULF AND
ADJACENT COASTAL AREAS WILL HAVE SLIGHT CHANCE POPS NEAR THE

BE 90-95, THEN HIGHS ON THURSDAY THROUGH SATURDAY TYPICALLY RANGE
FROM AROUND 90 NEAR THE COAST TO THE LOWER 90S FURTHER INLAND. AN
EASTERLY SURFACE FLOW FOR WEDNESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY USHERS IN LOWER
SURFACE DEWPOINTS WHICH KEEP HEAT INDEX VALUES LIMITED. WHILE
SURFACE DEWPOINTS BEGIN TO TREND HIGHER ON SATURDAY, HIGH
TEMPERATURES MOSTLY IN THE LOWER 90S WILL KEEP HEAT INDEX VALUES
AT 95-100. A LOW RISK OF RIP CURRENTS ON MONDAY AND TUESDAY TRENDS
