10/31 – Trey Tonnessen’s “Spooked” Halloween Night Forecast

Meteorologist Trey Tonnessen

A strong upper level ridge is centered just off the coast of the Carolinas and extended southwestward across much of the Gulf of Mexico. To the north, an upper level trough is racing northeastward across the upper Mississippi River Valley and will be moving across the Great Lakes tonight. This northeastward track of the trough will limit the associated cold front`s ability to push much farther south than where it is right now in northern Louisiana. However, increasing low level moisture combined with current above normal low level temps has been and will continue to support shower and thunderstorm development ahead of the front. Radar imagery at the moment shows scattered to numerous showers tracking northward across SELA and coastal MS, with much more robust convection west of the MS River in LA.
