Much drier conditions are over the region but this will slowly begin to change this morning as deep rich moisture starts to return today. By this afternoon moisture will have returned enough leading Min RH values remaining in the 60-80% range. The weak tropical wave will move towards the Louisiana coast today and as it continue to drift north and move inland those easterly winds we have been seeing will slowly become more esat-southeasterly and then southeasterly tonight. Winds will increase after sunrise with to 8-12 knots inland and 12 to 16 knots along the coast. We will see wind gusts of 12-15 knots inland and 18 to 25 knots along the coast. Despite the higher winds, RH values and wet fuels will keep critical fire weather conditions in check. There is the possibility of locally heavy rain Friday through Saturday as tropical moisture begins to push inland associated with a weak tropical wave over the central and northern Gulf. Winds over the specific G-09 sites will be mostly east southeast through the day and into the evening. There is a high high amount of confidence with higher pressure gradient between high pressure over the southern Appalachians and lower pressures over the central Gulf that winds will climb over the next couple of hours with proper mixing will increase to 15-20 with some gusts approaching 30 mph this afternoon and early evening. For rainfall, isolated to scattered showers will start to develop around 9 to 11am. Rain and storms become likely and more widespread after 1pm. Winds in and around thunderstorms will briefly be gusty and a bit more erratic. .TODAY... Sky/weather.........Partly sunny (55-65 percent). Chance of showers in the morning.
