DISCUSSION
Issued at 345 AM CDT Wed May 13 2026
In the near term: A low stratus deck has expanded into eastern/ southern portions of the area, and this is disrupting the fog formation process. Will monitor the trends, and we may be able to drop the limited dense fog graphic if the stratus proves to be persistent. Any stratus will dissipate later this morning, and this will be followed by sunny skies as we go into the afternoon. A weak, dry cold front will then cross the forecast area late today into tonight bringing little to no weather impacts to the forecast area.
Going through the remainder of the week and weekend, we'll see a a weather pattern change with the mean subtropical ridge axis shifting from the Southern Plains to the south Atlantic coast. While it will remain dry, the resulting shift from northerly to southerly low level winds will increase the humidity quite a bit, and temperatures will be warming up with highs reaching the lower 90s by Monday over northern portions of the area. Looking ahead to mid/late next week, we should eventually see rain chances make an increase. /EC/

The forecast remains on track this morning. Overall very benign weather with VFR prevailing across all sites for the majority of the period. Southern sites (PIB, MEI, JAN, HBG) are experiencing some lowered categories due to a thin stratus deck this is expected to be very short lived and will burn off an hour or two after sunrise./OAJ/
