7/7 – Rob Knight’s Friday/Weekend Forecast

After overnight and early morning activity over the sound, showers/t-storms continue to flare-up along the viewing area. The activity will continue this afternoon then decrease down to 30% overnight through tomorrow morning.

A weak cold front is expected to migrate south towards the I-20 corridor Saturday night, and possibly into southern Mississippi by Sunday. VERY HIGH moisture values could bring HEAVY RAIN to the area along with the SLIGHT POSSIBILITY for SEVERE T-STORMS.

Today should only see some stronger storms with frequent lightning, torrential downpours capable of producing minor flooding, and wind gusts up to 40 mph. The main threats should be isolated damaging wind gusts and hail. Temperatures will be dependent on where more persistent/numerous showers and associated clouds develop, but overall should be near
to slightly below seasonal averages for highs.
