6/9 – Trey Tonnessen’s “Storms Tomorrow” Sunday Night Forecast

Meteorologist Trey Tonnessen

A digging trough across the southern United States, with a trailing shortwave at the base of it will erode the ridging overhead and assist in pushing a weak surface front southward into our area during the day on Monday. There will be ample moisture across the Mississippi Gulf Coast. With that said, mid-level lapse rates are meager and shear is abysmal at 10-15 knots at most. This means more of a classic afternoon summer storm environment with storms popping up and sitting in place. A storm or two packing strong downdraft winds and small hail cannot be ruled out with this environment. The frontal boundary will wash out with time along the coast providing light northeasterly winds into Tuesday and Wednesday as surface high pressure set up over the Mid Mississippi River Valley. This should assist in pushing some slightly drier air into northern areas during the middle part of the week.
