The strong ridge of high pressure that continues to hang out in south Mississippi – because who wouldn’t want to? – will finally get the nudge to move along by Friday. This will allow a leftover front to swing through the area with some showers and storms.
The timing for the front is a bit uncertain at this point, though. For now, I’m going to stick with a Saturday arrival. There is some indication that it may hold off until as late as Tuesday of next week.
Regardless of timing, when it shows up, it will shove the current ridge out and allow a more subtropical air mass to build into the area. That means a bump in daily chances for rain as well as a boost to our humidity.

Just looked at the latest model run on Tidbits and it is showing the front moving through on Saturday. I guess, as ‘you’ would say, we’ll see. Thank you, again, for the daily updates. Hope you’re doing OK.
