.MESOSCALE UPDATE...
Issued at 938 AM CDT Tue Sep 9 2025
Mid morning satellite imagery showed the circulation around an
upper level trough over our CWA but also a disturbance along the
Mississippi Gulf coast. Models suggest this disturbance will help
develop a few showers and thunderstorms this afternoon over our
southern zones. Local radars already showed scattered
thunderstorms moving west northwest over southeast Louisiana.
Otherwise, surface ridging across our CWA from the northeast will
help keep drier air across our CWA and allow temperatures to top
out a degree or two above normal. /22/

.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 238 AM CDT Tue Sep 9 2025
Today and Tonight...A troughing pattern over much of the eastern
half of the United States will maintain northwest flow aloft across
the region today.  This, in addition to northeast to easterly flow
around high pressure at the surface centered across the northeast
United States, will keep an overall slightly drier airmass in place
across the forecast area today.  Highs will be a touch warmer today
compared to Monday, as they range from the middle 80s to around 90.
A weak disturbance along the central gulf coast could bring a stray
shower or storm to the Pine Belt during the afternoon hours, but the
majority of the CWA will remain dry today.  Any convection that
indeed develops will dissipate late in the afternoon.  This will
result in quiet conditions tonight.  Lows tonight will likewise be a
touch warmer as they range from the low to middle 60s. /19/
Wednesday through Sunday...Persistent clear conditions are
expected through the rest of the period. Ridging pattern will
migrate towards the southeast CONUS, causing high temperatures to
start in the upper 80s/near 90s, reaching the mid/upper 90s by the
end of the forecast period. Overnight lows are expected to range
in the 70s. Little (less than 5%) to no rain chances are expected
for the remainder of the period. /SW//KP/

.AVIATION...
(12Z TAFS)
Issued at 615 AM CDT Tue Sep 9 2025
VFR flight categories will prevail at area TAF sites over the
next 24 hours. A weak disturbance along the gulf coast could yield
an isolated shower or storm at namely KHBG or KPIB this
afternoon, but overall coverage remains too low to include in this
12Z TAF package. Winds will increase to between 5-8 knots with an
easterly component by late morning. /19/
