03/22 Ryan’s “Humid” Wednesday Night Forecast

Good evening South Mississippi, and get ready for another warm & humid night. The low will remain around 60 degrees tonight, and more patchy fog is expected to begin forming an hour or so after midnight. The weak front that moved into the area earlier today did bring some slightly lower dew points and Northeasterly winds to the area, so any fog should be lighter than the last few nights, but can still be locally dense. Tomorrow afternoon will be slightly cooler than today’s surprise high in the upper 80s, but will only drop into the mid 70s under mostly sunny skies. That’s the last of the consistent days, as changes begin moving in for the weekend.

Cloud cover will increase significantly on Friday afternoon as “on shore” flow increases ahead of an approaching frontal system, that will move into South MS Saturday morning. Current parameters look conducive to “low end” severe weather, but the likelihood of stronger storms seems to be diminishing during each model run. Regardless of severe weather, we will see some thunderstorms. I expect to have a bit more clarity on the expected severity of this active weather by tomorrow. Afterwards, expect clearing through the beginning of the week, but more frontal systems are on the horizon.
