...New AVIATION...

.MESOSCALE UPDATE...
Issued at 925 PM CDT Thu Apr 18 2024

Now that things have quieted down in terms of convection, one of
the primary concerns going through the remainder of the night 
into early Friday morning will be for dense fog in the southeast 
given expected overnight cooling in the very humid boundary layer 
and light southerly low level flow. Have maintained the limited 
dense fog threat for now but it wouldn't be too surprising if we 
eventually need a dense fog advisory in the Pine Belt region. 

Otherwise, we'll be monitoring storms currently well to the north
associated with a cold front that will approach northwest 
portions of the area toward daybreak. Most guidance show that 
storms will begin to weaken as they enter our area, and this at 
least seems reasonable given the diminishing instability and 
convective inhibition. Having said, the spring season always 
throws in a few wrinkles when it comes to forecasting convective 
evolution, so don't be surprised if there are a few strong to 
marginally severe storms in the Bolivar County area before 
daybreak. /EC/
