A BROAD BAROCLINIC LEAF CONTINUES TO EFFECT THE REGION, PRODUCING
A BROAD FIELD SHALLOW OF PRECIPITATION OVER ALL SITES. THIS FIELD
OF PRECIPITATION SHOULD WORK ITS WAY THROUGH THE REGION IN A
SOUTHEASTERLY MOTION CLEARING OUT BY EARLY TOMORROW MORNING. LOWS
TONIGHT WILL RANGE FROM 48 AROUND HATTIESBURG, TO NEAR FREEZING
ALONG THE HIGHWAY 82 CORRIDOR.
WEDNESDAY & THURSDAY...
AS THE FRONT ASSOCIATED WITH THE AFOREMENTIONED BAROCLINIC LEAF
CLEARS THE AREA, TEMPERATURES WILL FALL ONCE AGAIN OVER THE NEXT
COUPLE OF DAYS. HIGHS WILL HOVER IN THE MID 40S IN ALL BUT THE
FURTHEST SOUTHERN REACHES OF THE CWA, WHERE TEMPS WILL HOLD IN THE
MID 50S. NO REAL SIGNIFICANT WEATHER IS EXPECTED BEYOND ANOTHER
BOUT OF COLD LOWS, WITH WEDNESDAY NIGHT BEING OUR COLDEST AS
TEMPERATURES TUMBLE INTO THE MID TO HIGH 20S. A SLIGHT REBOUND IS
EXPECTED THURSDAY NIGHT, WITH THE WESTERN HALF OF THE CWA ABOVE
FREEZING, AND THE EASTERN HALF JUST BELOW.
FRIDAY ONWARDS...
HIGHS REBOUND INTO THE UPPER 60S, AND LOWER 70S; TEMPERATURES
WARMING THE FURTHER SOUTH ONE GOES WITHIN OUR FORECAST ZONES. LOWS
LOOK TO FINALLY CLIMB OUT OF THE 30S SATURDAY NIGHT AND STAY THAT
WAY FOR THE FORESEEABLE FUTURE. NO RAIN/THUNDER/FOG OR ANY OTHER
WEATHER PHENOMENA IS EXPECTED FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE PERIOD, SO
IT LOOKS LIKE IT WILL BE A GREAT WEEKEND TO GET OUT SIDE AND GO
FOR A HIKE./OAJ/
