.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 440 AM CDT Sun May 18 2025
Today through Tuesday Morning...
Current radar scans from this morning show a line of strong to
severe thunderstorms propagating east across the Hwy 82 corridor.
The chance for marginally severe thunderstorms will continue later
this afternoon through late Monday evening as global guidance
continues to show the frontal boundary stalling just to the north of
our CWA with damaging winds and quarter size hail being the main
hazards mainly north of I-20. HREF is beginning to show low
probabilities (around 20-30%) for patchy fog development early this
morning, particularly for portions of southeast MS. Quiet weather
conditions will occur across the area early Tuesday morning as
future global guidance continues to show the ridge axis beginning to
slowly push east away from our forecast area giving us a small
little break from the rain.
Tuesday Afternoon through the Weekend...
The forecast for the extended period remains on track with no
significant changes A significant 1004mb low pressure system
hovering over the Central Plains will push east towards the Ohio
River Valley region Tuesday afternoon/evening. The associated cold
front over southern Texas will track east towards the southeast
region late Tuesday evening. This combined with southerly moisture
flow from the Gulf, a mid-level jet moving into the area along with
an unstable airmass in place will help increase bulk shear. This
will allow for organized convection across our entire CWA. SPC has
continued to highlight a 30% severe weather potential for Tuesday
with higher confidence for northern portions of our CWA. There is
still alot of uncertainty in regards to both the hazards and timing
as this system is still several days away. We will keep you updated
on any changes as we get closer.
Storm chances will continue heading into Wednesday morning as the
cold pushes southeast across our forecast area. Rain chances will
start to diminish across the region looking ahead into Wednesday
afternoon/evening with quiet conditions prevailing across our CWA by
Thursday as the cold front tracks southeast out of our forecast area
towards the Gulf Coast giving us a nice little break from the rain.
Weather conditions will remain quiet heading into Friday with mostly
to partly sunny skies through Saturday as a 1020mb sfc high pressure
system builds over the southeast CONUS. Scattered showers/storms
will make a return to the area by Sunday afternoon with daytime
temperatures forecasted in the mid to upper 80s areawide. A couple
of areas along and south of Hwy 84 could see highs in the low
90s. /CR/
