7/29 – Trey Tonnessen’s “Big Sweat” Monday Noon Forecast

Meteorologist Trey Tonnessen

Today through tonight: Dangerously hot and humid conditions can be expected for the entire forecast area as we begin the work week. Anticyclonic flow with westerly low level trajectories will support temperatures reaching the mid to upper 90s this afternoon under mostly sunny skies. Convective rainfall will continue to be greatest in eastern MS on the periphery of the stronger ridge influence, but coverage should be scattered at most with activity diminishing after sunset this evening. Strong heating and steep low level lapse rates will support a few strong surface wind gusts while relatively warm mid level temperatures and less than impressive mid level lapse rates should help to limit the overall potential for severe storms.
