One shot for rain and storms tomorrow, another shot next week: Southern MS/AL/LA Weather Forecast – 12/29/22

As anticipated, the SPC added a Marginal Risk close tot eh water for tomorrow, everywhere else is looking at mainly just regular storms with some gusty wind and lightning. The concern in the Marginal Risk area close to the Gulf is simply for stronger wind. The tornado threat for tomorrow is very low.

Then, as we move through the weekend and into next week, we face another potential for severe weather on Monday/Tuesday. The SPC has trimmed the Slight Risk back to the northwest for Monday, but the CIPS Analogs shows the threat continuing into Tuesday.

This will be worth monitoring through the weekend, but so far your New Year’s Eve plans look mainly dry and cool.
