05/06 – Brantly’s “Sunny and Less Humid” Thursday Forecast

After a very wet and active weather pattern, we will jump right into a drier pattern through the rest of the week and upcoming weekend. Beginning with early this morning, a recent cold front has delivered slightly cooler/less humid air into the region, with the cold front currently slowing down a bit across far southern marine zones, or roughly around 50-60 nautical miles south of the Mississippi Delta.

High temperatures today will be in the upper 70s to lower 80s, followed by lows tonight in the lower to mid 50s inland and upper 50s to around 60 degrees near the coast. Highs Friday will then be a touch cooler with the passage of the dry, cold front. Temperatures in the mid to upper 70s are anticipated.

The weather to open up the weekend continues nice as dry air filters into the region behind low pressure now moving eastward across the southeast and off the Mid-Atlantic coast. With surface high pressure over the heart of the forecast area Friday night, mostly clear skies and light winds, a cool night with lows dipping down into the lower to mid 50s is expected. Well below normal by several degrees for early May standards. The high slides eastward Saturday, allowing for a gradual return flow. Highs on Saturday modify a category and not too far off seasonal means, lifting into the lower to mid 80s interior. Numbers range from 74 to 79 coast.
