...New AVIATION...

.MESOSCALE UPDATE...
Issued at 916 PM CDT Thu Apr 25 2024

Rest of Tonight...Moisture continues to pool across the CWA this 
evening, as a frontal boundary resides in the vicinity of the 
Highway 82 corridor.  This boundary has been the focusing mechanism 
for scattered showers this afternoon and evening. However, this 
activity has predominately stayed north and out of the forecast area.

For tonight, quiet weather will continue to reside across the area. 
Lows will be slightly warmer than last night as they fall into the 
low and middle 60s.  Clouds will continue to increase from the west, 
with some patchy fog possible across mainly Southeast Mississippi 
toward day break Friday.

The ongoing forecast is currently in good shape.  I'll make some 
minor adjustments to hourly elements of the forecast based on 
current trends.  Otherwise, no major changes will be made on this 
evening's update. /19/
