KEY MESSAGES
UPDATED AT 549 PM CST FRI NOV 21 2025
- FOG POTENTIAL RETURNS SATURDAY MORNING.
- ANOTHER WEAK COLD FRONT WILL BRING ADDITIONAL CHANCES FOR RAIN
MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON.
- BEHIND THE WEAK COLD FRONT, BEGINNING WEDNESDAY, TEMPERATURES
BEGIN DROPPING TO MORE SEASONABLE LEVELS WITH NIGHTTIME LOWS IN
THE 40S.
SHORT TERM
(THIS AFTERNOON THROUGH SATURDAY)
ISSUED AT 1022 AM CST FRI NOV 21 2025
AS THE IMPULSE THAT CAUSED THE RAIN THIS MORNING MOVES EAST WE MAY
SEE A FEW REMNANT SHOWERS THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING. HIGH
TEMPERATURES TODAY AND TOMORROW WILL CONTINUE TO BE UNSEASONABLY
WARM, AROUND 80 GIVE OR TAKE, AS WILL THE OVERNIGHT LOW TONIGHT.
WITH THE DEPARTURE OF THE IMPULSE WE WILL SEE A SHORT PERIOD OF
ALMOST ZONAL FLOW WITH RELATIVELY HIGH PRESSURE IN THE AREA. WINDS
WILL CONTINUE TO BE GENERALLY LIGHT AND OUT OF THE SOUTH. THE MAIN
CONCERN OVERNIGHT TONIGHT WILL BE BUILD DOWN OF A LOW STRATUS DECK
AND THE POSSIBILITY OF DENSE FOG AGAIN THROUGH THE MID-MORNING
HOURS. HIGH RH AND CALM AIR, PLUS THE MOISTURE FROM THE RAIN WE
GOT TODAY, WILL SUPPORT THE FOGGY CONDITIONS.
LONG TERM
(SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY)
ISSUED AT 1022 AM CST FRI NOV 21 2025
EXPECT SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY TO BE STATUS QUO, WITH BENIGN
WEATHER AND TEMPS WELL ABOVE NORMAL. THE NEXT FEATURE OF INTEREST
IS A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM MOVING INTO THE DESERT SOUTHWEST AND
THEN NORTHEASTWARD. BY THE TIME IT IMPACTS US IT WILL BE IN THE
FORM OF A WEAK FRONT BRINGING MORE NEEDED RAIN MONDAY NIGHT
THROUGH LATE WEDNESDAY. RAIN TOTALS ASSOCIATED WITH THE FRONT WILL
BE MINIMAL ALONG THE COAST AND UP TO AN INCH IN THE SOUTHWEST
MISSISSIPPI COUNTIES. BEHIND THE FRONT ON WEDNESDAY NIGHT, EXPECT
A NICE COOLDOWN WITH TEMPERATURES BECOMING MUCH MORE SEASONABLE,
LIKE OVERNIGHT LOWS IN THE 40S. THE CAVEAT HERE IS THAT OVER THE
PAST FEW WEEKS WE HAVE SEEN THE MODELS ADVERTISING "SOMETHING"
STRONG OCCURRING A WEEK OUT AND BY THE TIME THAT "SOMETHING"
ARRIVES IT HAS DIMINISHED OR DISAPPEARED. SO, STAY TUNED.
