Our focus through the forecast is in the lower and middle levels as upper high pressure will remain for the most part. A strong surface ridge will grip the southeast states Wednesday night into Thursday as Hurricane Imelda pulls eastward over the western Atlantic. This ridge will bring increasing easterly winds the latter half of the week, especially for our coastal communities. Dry conditions will persist through Friday outside of very isolated light showers popping up from time to time. Better rain chances will occur over the weekend into early next week as a series of weak low-level easterly waves move across the northern Gulf, especially if a possible weak surface low pressure area forms over the north-central Gulf and creeps northward. For now, we are expecting isolated to scattered showers and storms south of U.S. Highway 84 Saturday through noon Sunday. Isolated to scattered showers and storms will follow Sunday afternoon through Tuesday across most of the forecast area, possibly becoming likely closer to the coast. At this time, the bulk of the heavy rain will remain out over the Gulf.
High temperatures in the middle to upper 80s Wednesday and Thursday will dip slightly into the lower to middle 80s Friday through the weekend. Highs should then rebound into the middle 80s all areas Monday and Tuesday. Low temperature tonight will remain well above normal(6-11 degrees), ranging from 65 to 70 degrees inland with lower 70s along the immediate coast. Lows will trend downward through midweek, with inland lows Thursday night ranging from 58 to 63 degrees with middle 60s along the immediate coast. Lows should then rebound into the middle 60s to lower 70s Saturday night through the remainder of the forecast.
Beach Forecast: A LOW rip current risk is forecast through Wednesday night, followed by a rapid jump to HIGH on Thursday as increasing easterly winds and building surf impact the beaches. The risk will remain HIGH through the remainder of the week as a strong surface ridge grips the southeast states. /22

Small craft advisories will be required Thursday through Saturday night as moderate to strong easterly flow develops due to strong surface ridge building across the southeast states. Seas will trend much higher, and could be as high as 8 to 10 feet well offshore beginning late Thursday night. Until then, a light to occasionally moderate northeasterly flow prevails through midweek. /22
