Long Term
(Monday through Friday) Issued at 325am CST Sat Dec 14 2024

Above normal temperatures will prevail until the middle of next week with a prevailing WAA (Warm Air Advection - the movement of warm air) regime in place. The front we were looking at for Mon-Monday night just doesn't look like it'll have enough support to make it this far south. As such, have nudged temps up a bit - esp at night. Otherwise, cloudy/soupy weather will continue with the nearly saturated low level moisture column holding. Would anticipate some periods of isolated-scattered light rain, drizzle and fog at times until the next stronger front arrives sometime Wednesday or Wednesday night. Showers and thunderstorms ahead of this boundary will clear out with the frontal passage followed by more seasonable wx. A fairly strong push of cold air should drop southward out of Canada late in the week. Trajectory of this airmass looks to skirt a bit more to the east per latest model runs compared to yesterday, but we should see a reinforcing shot of cooler air on its western periphery nonetheless. 47

Issued at 325am CST Sat Dec 14 2024

East and southeast winds are beginning a slow downward trend, but seas will take a while to diminish today. Seas are still 7-8 feet well offshore so will maintain Small Craft Advisories there in addition to issuing another rip current statement for area beaches. Onshore flow will prevail into the middle of next week. Occasional periods of fog are a possibility, moreso in the bays, as warmer air continues to move over cooler water. The next cold front will push off the coast Wednesday. 47
