825 PM CDT TUE APR 21 2009

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
SLIGHTLY HIGHER THAN TODAY WITH MOISTURE CONTINUING TO GRADUALLY INCREASE
THURSDAY.

REMARKS...
1. PATCHY MODERATE FOG IS EXPECTED AFTER MIDNIGHT THROUGH EARLY
MORNING WEDNESDAY.
2. WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO GO CALM FOR A GOOD PART OF THE HIGHT.
3. THE CHANCE OF RH GOING BELOW 28 TOMORROW IS VERY LOW.
4. THE PREVAILING WIND WILL BE SOUTH BY AFTERNOON TOMORROW...SO
THE ONLY EFFECT FROM THE SEABREEZE WILL BE TO INCREASE THE WIND
VELOCITY AND CAUSE HIGHER GUSTS AT TIMES.
