IF CONDITIONS BECOME UNREPRESENTATIVE...CONTACT THE NATIONAL WEATHER
SERVICE.

.DISCUSSION...HIGH PRESSURE CONTINUES TO PUSH EAST ACROSS THE NORTH
CENTRAL GULF. AT THE SAME TIME A VERY WEAK FRONT WILL MOVE SOUTH TOWARDS
THE COAST AND STALL OVER THE AREA WITH WINDS BECOMING LIGHT AND VARIABLE
OVER THE MAJORITY OF THE AREA AFTER MIDNIGHT. WINDS FOR A SHORT TIME WILL
BE OUT OF THE EAST DURING THE MORNING ALONG THE MISSISSIPPI COAST BUT AS
THE SURFACE HIGH MOVES TOWARDS THE EASTERN GULF WINDS WILL BECOME MORE
SOUTHERLY/SOUTHWESTERLY TOMORROW AFTERNOON AND WITH SOUTHEASTERLY FLOW BY
FRIDAY AND PERSISTING THROUGH THE WEEKEND. MIN RH VALUES TOMORROW WILL BE
QUITE SIMILAR TO TODAY WITH MOISTURE BEGINNING TO RETURN THURSDAY. FOG
SHOULD NOT BE A BIG CONCERN BUT LIGHT PATCHY FOG IS POSSIBLE ESPECIALLY
DUE TO THE VERY LIGHT WINDS EXPECTED TONIGHT...TEMPS DROPPING INTO THE
LOWER 50S AND SMOKE PARTICULATE IN THE AIR. ANY FOG THAT DEVELOPS WILL
BE AROUND THE BURN SITE AND TO THE SOUTH AND WEST.
