1240 PM CDT Tue Oct 29 2024

...New AVIATION, NEAR TERM...

.AVIATION...
(18Z TAFS)
Issued at 1240 PM CDT Tue Oct 29 2024

VFR conditions are expected to prevail across the region this
afternoon and this evening. Easterly to southeasterly winds
generally average between 5-10 knots over most inland locations
and up to around 12 knots with a few gusts up to around 20 knots
near the coast this afternoon. MVFR ceilings may develop late
tonight through Wednesday morning across portions of the western
FL panhandle and interior south central and southwest AL. Patchy
fog with visibility reduced to MVFR to IFR thresholds may also
develop by early Wednesday morning over these same locations.
Confidence was low enough to keep mention out of the
KMOB/KBFM/KPNS/KJKA TAFs with this issuance. /21

&&

.PREVIOUS NEAR TERM...
(Now through Wednesday)
Issued at 1240 PM CDT Tue Oct 29 2024

We have had some patchy fog over parts of the forecast area this
morning, for the most part generally light. But, the fog has been a
little more widespread over interior southeast MS, and also locally
dense there in a few locations. Doesn't appear to be widespread
enough to require a Dense Fog Advisory, but some locations across
interior southeast MS may have visibilities down to 1/4 mile or less
at times until shortly after sunrise. Will likely have similar
conditions occur across the area again tonight with patchy fog,
locally dense in few locations.

Otherwise, no real changes to the forecast during the near term
period from what we had previously. Shallow layer of slightly cooler
(but somewhat moist - especially near the coast) will continue to
ridge down into our area from the northeast as surface high pressure
remains centered over the North Carolina area. Aloft, upper ridging
continues over the area today, but shifts just slightly to the east
on Wednesday. Guidance continues to indicate that PWATs may drop to
below 1 inch across much of the area today in association with the
cooler airmass ridging in from the northeast, but increase once
again to around 1.2 to 1.4 inches on Wednesday. We had a few very
isolated showers near the coast on Monday afternoon, but with the
lower PWAT's today we shouldn't be looking at any precipitation at
all. With the slightly increased available moisture on Wednesday,
could see an isolated shower or two, especially near the coast, but
PoPs below 15 percent and will not include any rain in the official
forecast. High temperatures today and Wednesday will be in the low
to mid 80s, so just a few degrees cooler than what we have seen over
the past few days (but still well above normal). Low temperatures
both tonight and Wednesday night will primarily be in the 60s across
the entire area, closer to 60 well inland but approaching 70 near
the coast.

Beach Note: Given the increasing east to southeasterly flow, risk of
rip currents increases to a HIGH RISK Tuesday and will continue
through Wednesday (and even through the remainder of the week). Surf
heights will also be increasing with 3-4 foot breakers expected
today and perhaps increasing to around 5 feet on Wednesday. With
this being just borderline for a High Surf Advisory, and just beyond
the 24 hour issue period, we will let the dayshift re-assess the
need for any High Surf Advisory products that may be needed on
Wednesday. DS/12
