10/13 – Trey’s “Continued Clearing” Friday The 13th Evening Forecast
Friday The 13th begins cooler trend
The weather pattern across the Gulf Coast shifted multiple times throughout the past week. Most notably, heavy rain and strong winds were the focus of the forecast on Wednesday. The disturbance which arrived out of the Gulf Of Mexico, pushed out of the area to the northeast on Thursday, bringing an end to the precipitation that began Wednesday. As the rain ended, cloud cover lingered and remained widespread for the duration of Thursday. As of 6:00 PM on Friday, cloud cover has been gradually dissipating all day. This eventually revealed clean blue skies across the Gulf Coast. Daily temperature highs averaged in the mid to upper 70s.
Friday Night: Skies will remain dry overnight paired with temperature lows in the mid 60s. Though cloud cover will begin building back late in the night, skies shouldn’t get much farther than partly cloudy status. This is ahead of a cold front, currently approaching from the northwest.
Saturday: The cold front I mentioned previously will move through the area over what appears to be a time frame between 3:00 AM – 6:00 AM. Gradient winds ahead of the front should increase after midnight proceeding the passage of this front. If you hate rain, or hate Mother Nature crashing outdoor plans; the great news is this front should pass through the Gulf Coast with little to no moisture accumulation. A light breeze will accompany partly cloudy to mostly sunny skies and temperature highs in the low 80s.
Sunday: By the time Sunday morning arrives, and folks on the Gulf Coast are heading to Sunday services or NFL Football plans, the cold front will be well east of our area. Clear skies reign supreme Sunday, as temperature highs start decreasing; into the mid 70s.
As always: A cloudy day is no match for a sunny disposition. Be nice to each other.
