8/31 – Brittany’s “End of August” Wednesday Afternoon Forecast

Mid level dry air will remain in place today. This will help cap the environment, making it harder for thunderstorms to get started. There will be some activity around though and the potential that one or two could be strong or severe will exist as well. We will tip toe into September Thursday, and some of the area could feel some sfc “drier” air filter in. This back door front that brings the dry air should move southward and slow to a stall from Baton Rouge to Mobile. This front will pivot once it stalls and the pivot point should be near Mobile Thursday. The fcast has been in flux lately with this boundary moving into the area. As it is now expected to deliver somewhat deeper dry air, it should be able to bring precip chances down quite a bit making today and Thursday our lowest chances so far this week. As the front moves back to the NW, deep moisture will fill behind it and by Friday we should begin to tack on some higher precip chances.
