Current Conditions
Currently, we have showers and thunderstorms on the coast of TX and scattered in LA moving west. Some showers on the MS/LA border. Showers and thunderstorms in South FL that slowly move west. Mostly lingering.
Tonight
Now that the cold front has passed through, parts of the Southern region will feel drier. A relief from the warm, humid air we’ve been experiencing the past few weeks. Still seeing showers and thunderstorms throughout the region, especially in Southern LA and FL. These areas, along with parts of MS and TX are under a marginal risk for excessive rainfall tonight into tomorrow morning.
Scattered showers and thunderstorms will be moving west throughout the rest of today in South FL, LA, and parts of East TX. The precipitation can bring excessive rainfall in these areas. Make sure to stay updated for alerts. The concerns are heavy rain, lightning, and flash flooding. Then, some isolated showers in Southern MS and AL this evening, but not excessive rainfall.
Extended Regional Outlook
The CPC outlook for the temperature has our region near normal, while the precipitation looks above normal for June 10th-16th.
Below is a blend of 3 models from 1 am CDT June 10th to 1 am CDT June 17th. For the Southern region, we don’t see any abnormal anomalies. We do see ridging on the West Coast and a trough in the Northern Plains, but the anomalies won’t affect the region. We could see our typical summer setup with warm temperatures and afternoon scattered showers and thunderstorms from the Gulf’s moisture. Seems the CPC and the extended regional outlook are similar!
Below is a blend of the same 3 models showing us the surface temperatures. We see how the ridge on the West Coast is making the surface temperatures much warmer. Because of the trough in the Northern Plains, our region won’t be affected much at all by the extreme temperatures. The trough will bring southerly flow of moist air from the Gulf, which will maintain our temperatures near normal values.
