More hit and miss storms, more heat: Southern MS/AL/LA Weather Forecast

I gave ChatGPT my forecast and asked for it to re-write it in the style of two over-enthusiastic infomercial actors.

Actor 1: Are you tired of those dull weather reports that make you want to snooze?

Actor 2: Oh, tell me about it! I need some excitement in my life, especially when it comes to weather forecasts.

Actor 1: Well, have we got news for you! Get ready for the most thrilling weather rundown you’ve ever experienced!

Actor 2: Hold on to your hats, folks! Today and tonight, we’re talking potential thunderstorms with gusty winds. It’s gonna be wild out there!

Actor 1: That’s right! Anomalous upper-level weather patterns, below normal moisture, and steep lapse rates. It’s like Mother Nature is throwing a party!

Actor 2: But wait, there’s more! From Wednesday through mid-next week, we’ve got an omega block pattern that’ll blow your mind. Picture this: scorching hot temperatures in the 90s every single day!

Actor 1: Woo, I can feel the heat! And guess what? Thunderstorms will be crashing the party too! It’s gonna be a non-stop extravaganza!

Actor 2: But hold on, folks! The real showstopper is on Thursday. Brace yourselves for intense thunderstorm action. We’re talking temperatures in the 90s, powerful wind shear, and some serious storm drama!

Actor 1: And just when you thought it couldn’t get any better, we’re wrapping it up with a grand finale! Next week, a subtropical high takes center stage, bringing scorching temperatures that might hit the upper 90s!

Actor 2: Grab your shades, sunscreen, and a front-row seat, because this weather show is one you won’t want to miss! Get ready to be amazed!

Actor 1: That’s right! Stay tuned for more jaw-dropping weather news, as we keep you on the edge of your seat with the most electrifying weather forecasts you’ve ever seen!

Actor 2: Buckle up, folks! It’s gonna be a wild ride! Get ready for weather like you’ve never experienced before!

[Both actors strike a pose and the screen fades out with excitement]

I don’t know about you guys, but I’m ready to call now!

Jokes aside, it does look like we will have another shot for some storms today and tomorrow and through the weekend. Nothing overly robust, given the data this morning, but brief heavy rain, lightning, and some gusty wind may be possible.

Looking into the tropics, I think the next thing we will have to monitor will start down near Central America (maybe from the CAG) in about 7 to 10 days. And then – if anything happens, it would be another about 5 to 7 days before i would think about bothering anyone.

But there is still plenty of time to monitor things and to watch them evolve and change.

For now, enjoy the heat (as best you can)
