4/25 – Trey Tonnessen’s “Southerly Component” Thursday Evening Forecast

Meteorologist Trey Tonnessen

Change is in the cards across the weather community. Gradual changes remain steadily on track to effect the Mississippi Gulf Coast into the weekend. A warm day across the region has evolved. All locations except along the immediate coast, have warmed into the 80s. The upper levels are currently in transition from a northwest flow to a more southwesterly flow as the large scale trough with embedded shortwaves shift a bit closer to our region. With the stronger impulses, the upper ridge will suppress over the Gulf. Although this feature gets suppressed, heights will continue to rise across the region and once again another warm/warmer day anticipated for Friday. Outside of warm weather, the only other concern would be some shallow fog. The best potential will be over the Mississippi Gulf Coast and Southwestern Mississippi where the winds may drop enough to support patchy fog, especially in the fog favored locations. This should dissipate shortly after sunrise Friday.

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