3/6 – Rob’s “Wet” Tuesday Morning Forecast

A cold front moving across the region has showers and scattered thunderstorms moving through south Mississippi.

The front will clear the area by mid/late-morning, but it could take a fair part of the day for the trailing precipitation area to get clear of the local area and allow clouds to diminish. Beyond today, high pressure currently over the Rockies will move slowly eastward. By Friday, it will be over the Middle Mississippi River Valley. This will mean mostly sunny skies for Wednesday through Friday. High temperatures today will depend on frontal location, as areas behind the front will need to see some sunshine to get much of a recovery in temperatures. Beyond that cooler and drier than normal can be expected through Friday. Northern portions of the area could see lows drop into the 30s each morning through Friday. Could see a little patchy frost in well protected areas, but do not anticipate freezing temperatures anywhere in the area at this time.

Going into the weekend, the next cold front will approach the region, bringing showers and thunderstorms in the forecast from late Friday night through Sunday morning. We will have about 36 hours of above normal temperatures ahead of the front. This front will move through the area late Saturday night into Sunday. Above normal temperatures Saturday and Sunday, followed by cooler conditions post frontal.
