12/01 Ryan’s “Fall-ish” Thursday Night Forecast

After a warm and humid start to the week, we finally started getting some fall-ish weather. Temperatures still rose into the mid 60s, but we nearly broke a daily record for how dry the air was. Tomorrow will be similar for much of the day, but as we head into the evening hours Southerly winds will begin bringing moisture in from the Gulf where a warm front is already setting up. Jet stream level features will support the weekend development of a surface low in South TX/Northwestern Gulf which will slowly bring that warm front closer to the coastline. This will create a large, unstable area that will bring overcast skies, showers, and thunderstorms essentially from Saturday evening to overnight Monday. Tuesday will bring a little relief as skies clear some, but another front is primed to push through Wednesday. This front will likely have an Arctic airmass behind it, potentially bringing Thursday’s temperatures near or below freezing for much of South MS.
