Marine
.SHORT TERM... (Today through Saturday night) Issued at 250am CDT Thu Mar 28 2024

Early morning surface analysis shows high pressure situated from the Midwest to the Gulf Coast, providing light winds and clear skies across the forecast area this morning. Temperatures currently range from the low to mid 40s across inland area, to the upper 40s to low 50s closer to the coast, with further cooling expected before sunrise.

Today, high pressure overhead will result in a near picture perfect day across the region, with highs expected to top out in the low to mid 70s amid sunny skies and light northerly winds. High pressure will then begin to shift east as we move into the overnight hours, allowing winds to turn back to the south before sunrise tomorrow. This will induce a slow warming and moistening trend as we head into the weekend. Highs tomorrow will top out in the mid to upper 70s, while Sat will be just a tad warmer in the upper 70s to low 80s. Overnight, the warming trend will really become noticeable, with lows in the mid 40s to mid 50s tomorrow expected to rebound into the low to mid 60s by Sat night. Moisture return will also allow dewpoints/humidity to gradually increase through the next few days however, no precipitation is anticipated.

Easter Sunday continues to look promising with no precipitation expected, although mostly cloudy skies and breezy southerly winds will be highly likely. Low temperatures near 60 across Central Louisiana to mid 60s across Southeast Texas.
