Cool and crisp today, rains won’t be back till next week: Southern MS/AL/LA Weather Forecast – 1/26/22

The calmer weather continues today with sunny skies and highs in the 50s. We’ll take it! Sure beats ice storms, tornadoes, or floods.

Looking down the street a bit further, the pattern we’ve been in looks like it is going to flip a bit.

The current pattern (above on the left) leaves the region cooler (but not usually as dry as we are seeing things right now) while the pattern 7 days from now (above on the right) tends to be a bit warmer.

When you look all the way toward about Feb 10th, you can see the overall pattern suggests a big U shape in the middle of the country. This tends to line up with more active weather for the region, too.

So enjoy this calmer weather. Because as we move into February, it looks like things may start to pick back up again.
