.MESOSCALE UPDATE...
Issued at 836 AM CST Wed Nov 26 2025
Not much to talk about regarding the forecast this morning. Quiet
weather conditions will persist across our forecast area today as
near term guidance continues to highlight a dry cold front
propagating east towards the Gulf Coast. Pressure gradients will
tighten over our area which will lead to some gustier winds near the
20-25 range around noon. A quick look at GOES 16 visible satellite
shows some mid to high cumulus clouds mainly over portions of
central MS and south MS. Areas north of I-20 will see daytime
temperatures peak in the upper 50s. Meanwhile, areas along and
south of I-20 will see highs in the low/mid 60s. /CR/

.DISCUSSION...

Through mid next week...
Quiet weather persists through the end of the work week with a dry
cold front progged to push across the area today. Pressure gradient
associated with this front could lead to some gustier winds near the
20-25mph range. A surface high will propagate towards the Gulf Coast
region in its wake, resulting in subfreezing low temperatures across
much of the area through the remainder of the week.
Rain chances return this weekend with a shortwave rounding the base
of the longer wave trough. While a few isolated thunderstorms are
possible, severe chances look pretty slim as the trajectories to
recover from a very cold dry airmass are not ideal. Moisture remains
very suppressed to the south. Another surface high will propagate
towards the region in the wake of this cold front and will bring a
return of cold low temperatures. However, this round looks more like
a glancing blow, with freezing temps most likely in the north early
to mid next week./SAS/
