04/26 – Brantly’s “Sunny and Warm” Monday Forecast

Winds are expected to gradually become more southeasterly today as the return flow begins to develop. A little warmer for Monday as the return flow sets up, with highs mainly ranging from the 80s over inland areas to the mid to upper 70s right along the coast where the onshore flow off the cooler Gulf waters moderates temperatures somewhat. Lows Monday night dip into the middle to upper 50s.

High pressure continues to dominate the southeastern U.S. through Wednesday night, giving us calm conditions with little to no chance for rain. Our high pressure system shifts east into Wednesday and Wednesday night as a low pressure system slowly shifts east across the central Plains states. Temperatures will be on the warming trend, with highs Tuesday and Wednesday reaching lower to middle 80s with some upper 80s possible over interior areas near Hattiesburg. Lows will be in the lower to middle 60s for Tuesday and Wednesday nights.

A stray shower or two will be possible each afternoon, but there’s a better chance for rain heading into the second half of the work week. Rain chances rise to around 30 to 40 percent on Thursday, mainly in the afternoon, and up to about 50 to 60 percent on Friday as scattered showers and thunderstorms move across the region.
