Helene stays east, new area to monitor in Caribbean: Southern MS/AL/LA Weather Forecast – 9/26/24

A quiet weather pattern continues across the region tonight as drier air wraps into the area. Clouds will gradually increase overnight, with lows dipping into the low 60s. By Friday afternoon, tropical moisture from the remnants of Helene will combine with the low to increase rain chances mainly north of I-20.

All the while, sustained speeds of 10-20 mph and gusts up to 35 mph.

Aside from that, the weather should remain calm across the area. Leaving us plenty of time to monitor a new area in the Caribbean.

The National Hurricane Center shows a “low” chance of development during the next seven days. Looking at model guidance, there is support of “something” happening out there, but so far most of the ensemble members keep anything that may develop down there… down there, and not up here.

But we will continue to keep eyeballs on it!
