A strong surface ridge will persist across the southeast states, keeping our easterly winds elevated, especially for our coastal communities. These winds will then decrease Sunday night and Monday as the ridge weakens. Dry conditions will persist through noon Saturday aside from isolated light showers popping up along coastal Alabama. Better rain chances will occur over the weekend into early next week as a series of low-level easterly waves move across the northern Gulf. We are still expecting isolated to scattered showers and storms south of U.S. Highway 84 from Saturday afternoon through noon Sunday. Isolated to scattered showers and storms will follow Sunday afternoon through midweek across most of the forecast area with the highest rain chances occurring closer to the coast, and we could see numerous showers and storms on Sunday across our coastal communities. We are still expecting the bulk of the heavy rain to remain out over the Gulf.

High temperatures in the lower to middle 80s Friday through Monday will rebound into the middle 80s all areas on Tuesday, and from 85 to 90 degrees midweek. Low temperature tonight through Friday night will be in the lower to middle 60s inland, and the upper 60s to lower 70s 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: We continue to see an upward trend in breaker heigheights reaching the 5 to 6 foot range beginning late tonight. Therefore, we went ahead and issued a High Surf Advisory from 3 AM tonight to 6pm Sunday. The higher breaker heights, along with the HIGH rip current risk, will result in dangerous swimming and surfing conditions along our beaches through the upcoming weekend. Localized beach erosion is also possible. /22

A Small Craft Advisory remains in effect for the Gulf through the weekend as strong easterly flow develops at the base of a strong surface ridge across the southeast states. Seas will continue to trend higher, and could be as high as 8 to 10 feet well offshore by early Friday morning. Small craft should exercise caution over all bays and sounds beginning tonight due to a moderate easterly flow. Winds will gradually decrease on Monday with seas slowly subsiding through Tuesday. /22
