7/7 – Rob’s Friday Morning Forecast

With a strong tropical air mass dominating the area, overnight showers and t-storms are hugging the coastline. 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.
