12/12 – Payton’s Tuesday Afternoon Forecast

A  cold front is digging through the southeastern United States today, but will not bring any rain to the area.  A continental air mass will knock temps back down about 10 degrees or so for a couple days. Generally speaking, lows will be in the 30s and highs in the 50s. One night of near freezing temperatures is expected Wednesday morning. This is for locations along and north of a Pascagoula to Slidell to Baton Rouge line.

Temperatures will rebound slightly Thursday before yet another cold front moves through Thurs night/Fri morning. A slightly better chance of rain will be possible as moisture flow moves across Mexico to the northern Gulf coast. However, it appears the timing of this moisture will be such that showers don`t develop along the front until it reaches the coast.
