3/25 – Trey Tonnessen’s “Tornado Watch” Monday Night Forecast

Meteorologist Trey Tonnessen

There are some small indications that the mid level heights could rise a little, but will likely remain steady all night and not actually drop until the early morning hours. The low level wind field already has been responding to the increase in lift but as the bulk of the strong mid level punch move into the northern portions of the Lower Mississippi Valley, the low level jet that was developing over the western Gulf and has aided in the convection off to our west will quickly lift north into Mississippi tonight and we could be at the tale end of the low level jet with the core all the way over western Tennessee. This would actually promote low level divergence as stronger southerly winds over southern Mississippi remove the air faster than the slightly weaker winds over Southern Louisiana can replace it.

As always: A cloudy day is no match for a sunny disposition. Be nice to each other.
