The moisture fetch over the gulf will increase along with wind speeds to around 15-25 kt and remain there for about 24 hours maybe a bit longer. This will be enough to bring up a Coastal Flood advisory for values…
As Nicholas continue NNE after making landfall last night, rain will continue through much of the region. The fetch over the gulf will also increase along with wind speeds to around 15-25kt and remain there for about 24 hours maybe…
The moisture flow is back with a vengeance, which for the next several days showers/t-storms will be able to produce heavy rainfall. Activity will be moving at a good pace for the next few days which will help keep rainfall…
We will focus more on the less humid flow as a cold front slowly moves to the SE. This will at the very least be noticeable by most as the relatively dry air will make things feel a bit more…
Any significant weather impacts in the short term for most of the area should be limited to the daytime hours today. As a tropical wave south moves towards the Florida Big Bend area, expect scattered t-storms through today with any…
A frontal boundary will remain nearly stationary across the forecast area, while gradually dissipating. Showers and t-storms will affect the area with the potential for pockets of more heavy rainfall will exist. The Weather Prediction Center continues to outlook most…
The upper level high-pressure centered along the northern Gulf Coast will continue to move south and weaken. An upper level trough digging across the Mississippi Valley and an associated surface cold front will drop southeast into the forecast area. Showers/T-Storms along…
In the wake of yesterday's cold frontal passage, a less humid flow will dominate heading into the weekend. The aforementioned frontal boundary will likely stall near the coast today through Saturday, with any diurnal afternoon convection being immediately along the…
A mid-level disturbance will dip southward over the frontal zone and this will start an initial round of scattered showers and thunderstorms in coastal MS counties through the late morning hours. The frontal zone will shift further southwest into southern…
A surface low associated with Tropical Depression Ida will continue to move NE, dragging a weak cold front into south Mississippi Thursday morning. Northwesterly flow aloft will develop across the area today between the upper level High pressure over Texas…
Trailing feeder bands in the wake of now remnant Ida will continue to drag across the area thorough today. These bands will slowly press southeastward into the Gulf through the morning and late afternoon. Despite southeastward movement of the band,…
With IDA to the NNW moving towards north central Mississippi, expect gradual improvement through today. Widespread rain across the area will continue and gradually decrease to scattered showers later today as Ida tracks slowly to the north. After the center…
The NWS Doppler radar imagery and data from an Air Force Reserve Hurricane Hunter aircraft showed that Ida made landfall around 1655 UTC along the southeastern coast of Louisiana near Port Fourchon with estimated maximum winds of 130 kt and…
The NWS Doppler radar imagery and data from an Air Force Reserve Hurricane Hunter aircraft showed that Ida made landfall around 1655 UTC along the southeastern coast of Louisiana near Port Fourchon with estimated maximum winds of 130 kt and…
Hurricane Ida continues to move through SE Louisiana, moving towards the NW. South Mississippi will continue to see coastal flooding, gusting winds and the threat for tornadic activity as feeder bands move through the area. Winds will get worse late…
Hurricane Ida made landfall at 11:55 am in Port Fourchon, Louisiana’s southernmost port. As this storm continue to move NNW, conditions in south Mississippi will continue to go downhill. Coastal Mississippi will see more flooding as winds from the east…
Ida's rapid strengthening appears to have leveled off within the past hour or so. NOAA and Air Force Reserve Hurricane Hunter aircraft that have been in the storm this morning have reported peak flight-level winds of 146 to 148 kt between…
HURRICANE WATCHES have been issued for coastal Mississippi, with a TROPICAL STORM WATCH inland and to the east. Guidance is relatively tight in terms of Louisiana as the most likely to be impacted. The timing and the intensity of Ida…
Easterly flow will continue to be a primary ingredient for increased rainfall across the area today. A strong tropical wave will move right across the area today and tomorrow bringing pretty adequate moisture to the area to assist in the…
There will be a lot more activity today than the previous several days as high-pressure weakens. Showers/t-storms will develop late morning and early afternoon, a few thunderstorms could produce rain rates of 2-4" per hour and this could cause some…
High-pressure slightly stronger than yesterday, is still centered along to just west of the TX/LA border and remains the biggest influence on the local weather. Its close proximity to the area means low rain potential and HOT TEMPERATURES. From a…
Today and Saturday, a robust high pressure system is expected to build over the region. Southerly to southeasterly surface winds will help to enhance warm air advection and moisture advection into the area. Isolated to scattered showers will be possible…
Main focus in the short term will be on the potential for oppressive heat across the region. Today may actually be the coolest day of the next 3-4 days with highs climbing into the mid-90s across much of the area.…
Today and Thursday, the normal summertime pattern will dominate the area. Southerly surface winds will help to advect warm air and moisture into the area, which will ultimately help with lifting in the environment. As a result, the rainfall will…
