1/23 – Jeff Vorick’s “Mild/Windy/Gloomy” Tuesday Evening Forecast

Cloudy skies and breezy conditions continue overnight as the stagnant pattern settles in for the Mississippi Coast. Expect dreary conditions tonight with passing light rain/mist and even some reduced visibility in the form of light fog. Rain will be light in nature at least through tonight and early tomorrow.

Wednesday brings a mixed bag of conditions. Winds will be out of the southeast, but less gusty. That will set the stage for sea fog to roll into our area. We will also be awaiting a line of showers and embedded thunderstorms to make it into the region. The upper-level support will leave the cold front behind so there is the possibility the squall line stalls out. Regardless, there is a 60% chance of showers and thunderstorms for the second half of tomorrow.

The line of showers and thunderstorms will be on a weakening trend as it makes its way into our area. The initial front finally makes its way through South Mississippi on Thursday which will also bring a 60% chance of thunderstorms. There is the potential for severe thunderstorms and flooding rainfall the next several days. A final cold front makes its way through our area Friday into Saturday which is worth watching for the potential of severe thunderstorms.
