I’m listening to a 20 year old dance song writing this for title context.
I’m providing a little update about the rain for the next couple of days. So far, it’s looking pretty hit or miss. The cold front is coming, but with such a strong ridge over us, it’s going to be pretty hard to squeeze out some rain chances.
Monday
Looking at the surface analysis first, we can see there’s a slim window for rain possible diagonally across southern Mississippi and Louisiana. Most of this rain will hit closer to sunset and into the night due to the very high temperatures and lower dewpoints. While this front is organized, most of these storms will be isolated or scattered which means that it’ll be up to chance (no pun intended) as to who will receive the rain if at all. Temperatures will reach well above 100 tomorrow and heat indices will reach the 110s.
Tuesday
The surface analysis shows the stationary front moving towards the coastline by Tuesday night. This will give us one final chance of rain for the week. Dewpoints look to spike into the low to mid 70s. While the factors like instability and lower LCLs look good, we will have to see if anything can pop off by the time the front passes through. The window looks fairly slim, but it could be possible. The good news, at least for a day or so, temperatures will fall into the low and mid 90s with the passage of the front, so there is a tiny bit of relief!
