7/16 – Rob Knight’s Monday Morning Forecast

Forecast is a little more difficult today than previously thought as high-pressure should break down. This will allow lower pressure to move into the area and will shape the forecast through the next few days. Today’s activity will come later in the day which wil lead to HOT temperatures before the rain begins.

For Tuesday, coastal MS appears to be the focal point where a good bit of rainfall could occur. It still looks like the middle of the week should be wet however heading into the end of the work week and next weekend we look to quickly transition into a much hotter pattern.

Wednesday and Thursday should see convection across much of the area. The eastern side of the ridge will become suppressed, but we could still see numerous storms across the entire area. Very efficient rain-makers and the threat for locally heavy rain will continue to be an issue that will need to be monitored.

Friday and through the weekend we will return to a hot and what will likely be an oppressive pattern. Friday through the weekend will bring heat indices possibly ranging from 105-110 degrees.

A HEAT ADVISORY may be warranted…
