The Storm Prediction Center has moved the Slight (2 out of 5) risk further east for most of Mississippi as well as the eastern portions of Louisiana and Arkansas. Looking at a few of the severe parameters and the Skew-T’s, it looks like most of the tornadic threat will be closer to central and north Mississippi. However, with the developing squall line into the evening, southwestern Mississippi could also see a few tornadoes possible.
For our neck of the woods, the main concern will be wind. The Skew-T’s show an in-line column of wind which is conducive to straightline winds. Winds 40+ mph will be possible as the line moves in. Rainfall amounts around 0.5″ to 2″ are possible overnight. A few tornadoes could be possible with these storms, so please keep an eye on your phone before going to bed or leaving work.
The cold front will be directly behind this storm, so expect temperatures to be a lot cooler compared to Saturday. Winds will be quite gusty from the north and the clouds will clear out by the morning. Temperatures will reach the low 50s during the day and will likely hit the freezing point overnight into Monday. Wear a windbreaker tomorrow as it’ll be pretty chilly!
