11/4 – Trey Tonnessen’s “Cranking It Up” Monday Night Forecast

Meteorologist Trey Tonnessen

We are stuck in an interesting pattern for this time of year that is holding our daytime highs somewhat warmer than normal, normal being in the low to mid 70s. This is due to the persistence of the Bermuda high reaching just far enough west to affect us and hold the effects of a trough centered over the western US just west of us. Overall flow around these systems is from the south and southeast bringing enough Gulf moisture into the area to pop up light, isolated showers that are moving fast enough so that any rain received is almost more of a nuisance. The biggest impact that this setup bring is winds blowing onshore and pushing normal tide levels up and causing coastal flooding especially on south and east facing shores. Tonight will see coastal waters one more cycle of tides nearly as high as last night and so Coastal Flood Warning has been extended to Bay St. Louis to Shell Beach.
