1/3 – Rob’s “Mid-Week” COLD Forecast

Clouds hanging tough over the area this morning has kept overnight temps slightly warmer. Other than a flying flurry or two, most of this is not reaching the ground as there is a deep very dry layer from the surface to about 6k` causing almost all snow to sublimate well before reaching the ground. Any flakes that are capable of making it to the surface will not cause any issues.

Cold air is coming back into the area this morning but since cloud cover has remained, temps will only make their way into the upper 20s for a short duration this morning. This is not going to be the case tonight. We should be quite clear with little to no wind and dry air will allow temps to fall rapidly by this evening. The hard freeze warning will remain as is and the remaining areas of the south Mississippi will be put under a freeze warning for tonight. The next cold front will move into the area by Monday bringing back plenty of showers. Some instability, albeit not much, has prompted the addition of isolated thunderstorms with this activity as the front move through. Temps will have a hard time warming Sunday ahead of the front but should make it back to near 70 by Sunday into Monday just ahead of the front. This front should move through clean making way for the next front that may be introduced by late next week.
