6/11 – Jeff’s “Stormy Start To Week” Sunday Night Forecast
Winds have primarily become a southerly flow which is taking the humidity up another notch. Overnight, there is the possibility for showers and thunderstorms after midnight. Morning low temperatures will be in the low-to-mid 70s across our area. For your Monday, it will be the fairly standard hot and humid day until thunderstorm chances in the afternoon. A cold front and other energy will look to bring another complex of thunderstorms into South Mississippi.
Our area is outlined in a “Slight” or Level 2 of 5 risk for severe thunderstorms for tomorrow. This is due to the potential for damaging wind gusts. There is also the possibility of flash flooding with efficient rainmakers. Isolated rain chances cannot be ruled out from mid-morning through mid-afternoon. However, the best opportunity for rain will come sometime between 2 PM and 8 PM. This will come in the form of a line of thunderstorms.
As we move through the rest of the week, high pressure will gradually become the feature shaping our weather. Very hot and humid conditions are expected with heat indices well into the 100s. The best coverage of rainfall will be to our north along the I-20 corridor. Daily pop-up thunderstorm chances are still very much in play. Some signals of wetter times could be back for the end of the week.
