Keep the Foghorn Blowing Tomorrow Morning, then Have an Umbrella for Monday – Weekend Outlook for MS/AL/LA 3/2/24

Dense Fog Advisory for south MS/AL/LA

Following last night’s dense fog after the cold front passed through, we’ll see another chance for some fog overnight into the morning, however we’ll be a bit on the warmer side tonight with temperatures in the upper 50s to low 60s. That’s a pretty good indicator for how much warmer we’ll get over the next couple of days with highs jumping back into the 70s after our couple of more wintry feeling days. The fog should last until around 9am and lift with mixed clouds and sun to happen during the daytime.

One more round of patchy fog will hang around as the winds shift to the southwest overnight on Sunday. Come the start of the week, we’ll be back in another humid pattern with some rain possible during the day. The subtropical jet at the surface will help pull some Gulf moisture to most of south Louisiana and Mississippi with south winds at the surface and a trough in the upper levels pushing the storms to the east. Most of the severe weather will occur around southwest to northwest Louisiana and parts of southwestern Mississippi with some hail and strong winds possible during the afternoon. Some showers will be possible further east into the Pinebelt and around the coastline as well.

Dense fog is possible through most of southern LA/AL/MS overnight into the morning on Sunday. Expect temperatures to climb into the 70s for the next couple of days as the subtropical jet sets up. We’ll see partly sunny skies on Sunday and increasing clouds overnight into Monday as the rain moves in.
