.SHORT TERM...
(This evening through Wednesday)
Issued at 116 PM CST TUE JAN 28 2025

This afternoon.

A northwest flow pattern prevailed over the forecast area as
longwave troughing extended from over Maine and Southeast Canada
south to over the Bahamas while amplified ridging was over much of
the Southern and Central Plains ahead of an upper low centered
over Northwest Arizona. A cold front extended from Deep South
Texas east across the Central Gulf Coast and through central
Florida while surface high pressure is centered across East-
Central Mississippi.

Look for skies to range from mostly clear north to partly cloudy
south this afternoon. Winds will be from the west to southwest at
4-8 mph. High temperatures will range from the mid 50s far north
and in the higher elevations east to near 60 across the south and
far southwest.

Tonight.

Longwave troughing will move further to the east of the area
overnight while shortwave ridging build over the ArkLaTex and Mid-
South Regions while the upper low becomes centered over Central
Arizona. Surface high pressure will become centered across the
Northern Gulf Coast while the cold front remains to the south of
the area, extending from far South Texas eastward to near Miami.

Expect partly cloudy skies overnight with a low chance (20-30
percent) of some patchy fog across portions of the southern and
western portions of the area. Winds will be from the west to
southwest at 2-4 mph. Low temperatures will range from around 30
in the normally colder sheltered valley locations northeast to
near 40 far south and far southwest.

Wednesday.

Amplified shortwave ridging will continue to move closer to the
area from the west during the day on Wednesday as the upper low
becomes centered over Northeast Arizona and Northwest New Mexico.
Surface high pressure will migrate northeast, becoming centered
across the Mid Atlantic Region toward midday. Surface low pressure
will deepen and become better defined across Oklahoma and East
Texas through the day while the surface front to the south of our
area gradually loses definition, but gradually returns northward
as a warm front, extending from Southern Louisiana eastward just
offshore of the Northern Gulf Coast later in the day.

Mid and high clouds will be on the increase from the southwest
through the day Wednesday, but dry conditions are forecast to
persist areawide. Winds will be from west at 5-10 mph. High
temperatures will range from the lower 60s far north to the upper
60s far south.

.LONG TERM...
(Wednesday night through next Monday)
Issued at 1109 AM CST TUE JAN 28 2025

The main weather story for the long-term continues to be the deep
trough and low pressure slated to move into the Midwest by Friday.
Not much has changed with this system from previous forecasts, as
rain chances should begin to increase by Thursday morning in our
far NW zones. This rain will increase in coverage and intensity as
time goes on, with the heaviest rainfall expected Friday morning,
and into Friday afternoon. While moderate to heavy rainfall still
looks possible, no flooding or flash flooding is expected, as
rainfall amounts will generally range around an inch.

Once this system exits the region, flow aloft will remain from the
NW, allowing dry air to filter back in. In turn, dry conditions
will return for the rest of the long-term. However, a surface
high-pressure will slowly build in along the Gulf, allowing
surface winds to stay from the south. Because of this, very
pleasant conditions are expected through the weekend, and into
next week. Skies will remain mostly clear, with afternoon highs
ranging in the low-60s to low-70s. A perfect opportunity to get
outside and and enjoy an early taste of Spring temperatures.

(00Z TAFS)
Issued at 518 PM CST TUE JAN 28 2025

VFR conditions are currently prevailing across all terminals.
Winds will remain light throughout this TAF cycle with some
passing upper level clouds. There is a low chance for fog
development and low level stratus at BHM/EET/TCL so have included
a TEMPO group around sunrise for now.

.FIRE WEATHER...

MinRH values will begin to increase in our southern zones
tomorrow, with values generally ranging between 45-60%. However,
MinRH values will really begin to waver the next few days, as rain
chances really begin to increase by Friday. Some of this rain
will be moderate to heavy at times, with amounts generally ranging
near an inch. However, dry conditions will return again by the
weekend, with MinRH values falling back into the 40% range.
