Issued at 226 PM CDT Sun Mar 16 2025

Rest of the week into early next weekend (Saturday)...

A quiet period is expected through the work week as quasi-zonal 
flow & dry thermal profiles persist across the region. As the 
trough axis builds eastward & sfc high axis builds across tonight,
gradient winds will relax & the region should efficiently 
radiate. Lows will be seasonably cool, some 5-10F below (34-40F). 
Can't rule out some light patchy frost in northeast MS, but held 
off for now on any mention in HWO. As the sfc high/thermal ridge 
builds southeast over the Gulf Coast & low-level warm 
advection/return flow picks up, expect moderating trend through
mid-week. Highs will be seasonable to start the week on Monday
(65-72F) before becoming seasonably warm Tuesday to Wednesday,
some 5-10F above (72-80F in this timeframe). 

As a 985mb sfc low pressure system ejects northeast of the 
central Plains to Mid-West states, pressure gradient will increase
to nearly 6mb. This will support efficient gradient winds & is 
supported by blended guidance probs of gusts greater than 40mph 
(50-90%). It is a little too far to advertise now but HWO graphics
& potential wind headlines will be needed as we get closer. This 
looks to be mostly a dry front & will only bring some light rain 
east of I-55 & into the Hwy 45 to I-59 corridors. Another round of
seasonably cool conditions is expected Thursday, highs & lows 
some 8-12F below (59-65F for highs & 34-39F for lows Thursday 
night). Light frost looks to be a concern again but held off any
mention. This cool pattern will be followed by moderating warmth 
into next weekend on Saturday, highs & lows some 3-8F above (highs
74-80F Saturday & lows 44-52F Saturday morning & 48-56F Sunday 
morning). A weak shortwave will move in next weekend, bringing 
low chances of rain (10-20%) across the Hwy 82 corridor. /DC/
