.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 118 PM CDT Thu Oct 9 2025
Cooler and drier conditions will return by tomorrow as the area is
sandwiched between a developing coastal low to our east and a
strengthening ridge of high pressure to our west. Rather deep
northwesterly to northerly flow will develop over the Deep South
Friday and persist through early next week leading to rather dry
air to filter down to the northern Gulf Coast. With that don`t
expect much in the way of forecast issues outside of temperatures
and lowered depends through the weekend and middle of next week.
Highs will drop down into the 70s inland to around 80 near the
coast on Saturday as a backdoor cold front moves through. From
that point on, temperatures will steadily increase each day as the
coastal low lifts into the North Atlantic and the large upper
level high over Texas gradually builds eastward over the area.
Given the drier air and subsidence over the area, expect dewpoints
to remain in the 50s for most of the forecast period leading to
rather comfortable fallish like conditions. Don`t worry, hints of
real fall is lurking just around the corner. BB-8

A northeasterly flow will increase through Friday behind a front
pushing offshore. Small Craft Advisory has been issued for
Tonight into Saturday for open Gulf waters and an occasionally
gust to near gale force cannot be ruled out Friday night. Winds
and seas will ease by the early parts of next week as winds remain
offshore through most of next week. BB-8
