03/29 Ryan’s “Not So Severe” Thursday Evening Forecast

Our “slight” severe threat for this afternoon didn’t quite verify, but we did see some pockets of very heavy rain and gusting winds. Skies have already begun clearing on the Western edge of the viewing area, while rain is still falling on the East. Winds are already reporting as calm, but will shift to the North as we head through the next few hours which will help speed up our drying/cooling. Tonight will fall into the upper 50s while skies continue to clear, and tomorrow will cool slightly into the mid 70s, but will be significantly drier. It will continue cooling into Easter weekend, but not any further than around 72 degrees for Saturday, rising back to 76 by Easter. The clouds will begin gathering again by next week, and return flow will begin pumping moisture back into South MS. A weaker front will push through by the middle of the week, bringing a few showers and slightly cooler weather as we approach next weekend.
