6/11 – Rob Knight’s Monday/Workweek Forecast

Another round of showers/t-storms is on-tap again today as daily rain potential will be in the area through the extended. Another round of gusty thunderstorms at 25 to 30mph for most areas, but farther west, the risk heightens for a severe thunderstorm with straight line winds.

Basically, most if not all thunderstorms will produce gusty winds with a chance of one or two of these becoming severe for at least the next 3 days.

The best odds of a severe thunderstorm should be found west of Lake Maurepas today and along and west of the Pearl River Tuesday.

Rain chances will remain a little higher than climo norms for the remainder of the week. Some of these thunderstorms could produce torrential rainfall over a short period causing some localized flooding of low lying and poor drainage areas. The end of the week is starting to show a little more clarity with the plume of tropical moisture moving into the western gulf. Most of the heaviest rainfall may stay west by the weekend but it won`t take much of a shift east to keep our pop numbers high
