.Welcome everyone to your Monday's edition of your Face of the Sky forecast! I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend and got to enjoy it. Saturday as I pointed out in my forecast on Friday was picture perfect as we had temperatures in the mid 70s with beautiful skies and lovely conditions. I had a chance to really take advantage of the day Saturday playing tennis and just being outside. Although cloudy for the most part on Sunday, temperatures were still very warm and in the 70s as well. This also didn't stop me from shooting some hoops all day yesterday. We are certainly in this spring-like pattern and this will continue throughout this week. We are going to have some showers and possibly severe storms pass through later this afternoon but by Wednesday lovely spring-time conditions will make its return with temperatures coming close to 80 degrees by this weekend.
What's Happening Atmospherically
After having high pressure situated throughout the south for the majority of the weekend, a low pressure begin to come into the picture on Sunday hence the overhanging clouds we had on yesterday. Even now surface analysis charts shows this low pressure featuring precipitation in the central Arkansas and Missouri area. This system will start to give us some showers later today starting sometime before noon.
There is a slight risk for strong to severe thunderstorms today containing w
inds of up to 50 to 60 mph and may possibly feature hail from the size of a penny to a quarter size. This is from the make-up of a cold front with broken line of thunderstorms moving east today. Daytime heating will cause an unstable airmass and wind shear will be present enough in providing strong to severe storms. As this deepening low moves over the area it will give us some heavy downpours for the afternoon. I'm expecting a little under an inch of rain for our day today. With some forcing in the front of this cold front, expect gusty and windy conditions this afternoon along with the rain.

Precipitation should last throughout the majority of today's evening and night hours. By the end of it, we could be looking at close to an inch of rain falling. So for Tuesday, most of the line of showers will be push off toward our east and you will experience a very dry and cool airmass in its place. I'm talking about temperatures falling about 13 to 15 degrees from today and ending up around the upper 50s for tomorrow. A good surge of cold air advection will take place on Tuesday and give us this huge drop in temperatures. The way things are going to be set-up is that temperatures will be much cooler in the north while the south will be warmer. So looking at temperatures in the 50s in the northern and central areas of MS like Tupelo, Starkville, and Oxford. Cities such as Hattiesburg, Ocean Springs, Laurel and other southern towns and counties will see temperatures in the 60s and lower 70s. So a bit of a temperature gradient tomorrow due to cold air advection mostly dominant in the north while warm air from the gulf will keep temperatures in the south from being affected too much.
After Tuesday, temperatures should rise back to normal and return us back to our pleasant spring weather.Today
Rain will be the highlight for our afternoon as we have a line of showers moving in from the west and will feature some strong to severe storms. Windy conditions through the afternoon with wind speeds between 10 and 15 mph from the south. Some areas have a chance of receiving hail in some parts. Rain totals could total anywhere from 0.50" to 1" throughout the Jackson area and closer to an 1" the further north you go. Highs today will be in the upper 60s.
Tonight
Tonight
Rain should continue throughout the overnight and end shortly in the early morning of Tuesday. Cloudy and temperatures will start to take a dive as lows drop into the mid 40s in Jackson. Winds should die down just a bit with a west wind at 5 to 10 mph.
Tuesday
Look for a dry and cool airmass on Tuesday as conditions will certainly be felt. Highs tomorrow are only expected to get into the upper 50s and possibly the lower 60s in Jackson as a combination of clouds and cooler airmass takes hold of the region.
