4/27 – Rob Martin’s “Increasingly-Warm” Wednesday Night Forecast
Low humidity, clear skies, and light winds are a recipe for cool overnight temperatures, and that’s what we’ll have again this Wednesday night. Lows will drop into the lower 50s, with cooler drainage areas like Pascagoula bottoming out a few degrees cooler, possibly in the upper 40s.
Sunshine abounds again Thursday, but light winds veer around to the southeast later in the day, making for a milder night with lows around 60 or so. High pressure will then remain to our east and build, resulting in a persistent, deeper south flow off the gulf over the weekend all the way into next week.
Humidity will increase a bit Friday, but it won’t be felt much. A different story as we approach May 1st on Sunday; we’ll be in the mid 80s for highs with lows around 70 by then, and it’ll feel more like mid to late May as opposed to early May.
An afternoon, daytime heat-induced thunderstorm pattern also sets up from Sunday into next week, with storms being spotty and dying out after sunset. This is similar to a summer set-up, just not as hot. Temps will nudge up further early next week, with inland area reaching the upper 80s as humidity stays high.
