09/03 – Rob Knight’s “Warm, Humid Flow Continues” Thursday Morning Forecast

The area is under the firm grasp of Bermuda High ridge extension across the Gulf States through at least Saturday. This will allow relatively stagnant air to warm into the mid-90s for areas away from maritime influences.

Overnight lows will be subsidence driven, ranging generally from the mid-70s to lower 80s. There is a chance for some gulf breeze afternoon thunderstorms this weekend but coverage should remain relatively limited and confined to the near coastal areas.

There are no real indications of organized storms through Sunday, with mot much more than 20-30% precipitation chances during the afternoon hours.

As moisture levels increase with the approach of the weak trough, rain chances will go up on Monday, with 30-60 chances being common during the afternoon hours each day through at least Wednesday. Should some of the model solution come to fruition next week, we could be looking at significantly cooler temperatures beginning next Wednesday or Thursday.
