4/14/24 Weekly Outlook – A Warm and Gusty Week Leading to Rain This Weekend

Tonight, we’ll see the winds shift to the south bringing an influx of moisture from the Gulf which will bring some possible dense fog to areas in the heart of the Pinebelt, so please be careful driving tonight and tomorrow morning. We’ll see the humidity start to increase with the wind shift over the next few days as a gradient forms over the Deep South to bring in some gusty winds.

Around the middle of the week, a multi-faceted low pressure system will begin to move east from the Rockies to the Great Lakes. With this, a few rain chances will be possible through the week. Tuesday night into Wednesday areas in northern Mississippi will see a chance of thunderstorms with a few strong isolated storms. By Thursday, the two fronts will occlude and dip far south enough that central Louisiana and southern Mississippi may see a chance of rain.

Friday we’ll see a slight break in the weather before the main part of the cold front moves in.

By Saturday, the cold front will have elongated across most of the southern to southwestern US. This means that we’ll have a long but thinner line of rain and thunderstorms over the weekend. Depending on whether or not this front stalls will determine whether we have a higher chance of severe weather or heavy rainfall, but for now, this system looks to move out by Monday.
