AND WILL CONTINUE THROUGHOUT THE WEEKEND. TEMPERATURES WILL REMAIN
ABOVE SEASONAL AVERAGES INTO NEXT WEEK. LOW PROBABILITY (10-30%) OF
PATCHY, DENSE FOG IS EXPECTED EARLY SATURDAY MORNING.
SURFACE RIDGING ACROSS THE SOUTHEAST CONUS WILL SUPPLY WARM AIR
ADVECTION ACROSS THE REGION VIA SOUTHWESTERLY WINDS. AS THE RIDGE
AMPLIFIES, INCREASING HIGH(LOW/MID 80S)/LOW(UPPER 50S/LOW 60S) TEMPS
ARE EXPECTED OVER THE WEEKEND.
IMPACTFUL WEATHER IS NOT EXPECTED; HOWEVER, THERE ARE A COUPLE OF
NOTEWORTHY WEATHER FEATURES TO LOOK FOR INTO THE NEW WORK WEEK.
FIRST: A DRY, FRONTAL BOUNDARY THAT WILL SWING THROUGH THE AREA LATE
SUNDAY. THIS WILL BRIEFLY DROP HIGHS TO THE MID 70S TO LOW 80S AND
KEEP LOWS RANGING IN THE 50S AND 60S ON MONDAY. SECOND: A WEAK,
SHORTWAVE DISTURBANCE PUSHING THROUGH LATE TUESDAY MAY BRING
ISOLATED (<15% PROBABILITY) SHOWERS TO NORTHEAST MS, BUT WIDESPREAD
RAIN IS NOT EXPECTED. TEMPS WILL QUICKLY REBOUND INTO THE 80S
THROUGH THE MID WEEK. WARM AND QUIET CONDITIONS WILL CONTINUE FOR
THE REST OF THE EXTENDED PERIOD. /SW/
