6/11 – The Chief’s “Sunny, Low Humidity” Tuesday Afternoon Forecast

At the surface, a frontal boundary was drifting into the N’tern GOM. Dew-points are in the low/mid 60s in the area with slight cooler temperatures this afternoon. High pressure will continue to be the dominant factor through the rest of the workweek providing for sunshine and rain-free conditions.

The next frontal boundary remains just offshore for the end of the workweek, with the airmass gradually drying out. By the time we get to Thursday/Friday, moisture values continue to fall off. Coupled with weak offshore flow, any kind of showers/t-storms which might develop will be rather limited. I would not be surprised at all to see high temperatures in the mid and upper 90s across much of the area Thursday into Saturday, with very little inland penetration of sea-breezes. High temperatures on Sunday will be very dependent on precipitation trends.
