6/17 – Trey Tonnessen’s “Rain Continues” Monday Night Forecast

Meteorologist Trey Tonnessen

PTC One is forecast to become gradually better organized through the short term. As this happens, the pressure gradient will tighten across the local area, resulting in a strengthening wind field across the local area. Currently the wind and gust forecasts are still just below wind advisory criteria, but the next shift or two will need to continue taking a closer look. IF a wind advisory becomes necessary, it is most likely for areas south of the tidal lakes in southeast Louisiana. Strong east-southeasterly flow across the northern Gulf waters will cause tides to rise above normal by tomorrow morning and minor coastal flooding is likely during high tide. Water levels will be highest during high tide on Wednesday, and could result in a some low lying roads becoming impassable, mainly in the more vulnerable areas on the west/southwest side of Bay St. Louis.
