Issued at 148 PM CDT Tue May 19 2026 The area will remain in southwest flow aloft between a ridge off the southeast coast and a trough over the western states.

This will allow for the higher chances of rain to move into the area with the highest chances through Friday across southeast Mississippi. Rain chances remain elevated through the weekend as a series of shortwaves continue to round the northern edge of the upper level ridge. Patchy dense fog will be possible each night. Any fog will develop late into the overnight hours before lifting fairly quickly after sunrise. Temperatures will be near to just above normal through the weekend. Highs will generally be in the mid and upper 80s with a few areas around 90 each day. Lows will be in the upper 60s and low 70s. /13 && .AVIATION...
