A stormy beginning for this holiday week
COLUMBUS, Mississippi (WCBI) – A large system of rain showers and storms is pushing into Mississippi and across for the rest of the night. There is a severe weather risk involved, so stay aware. The rest of the week will seem much more calm.
MONDAY NIGHT: Areas of heavy rain and strong/severe storm potential develops into Mississippi near & after sunset. Our broad time line remains unchanged, watching mostly from 5p-2a. We expect a broken line of storms to sweep across the region, with potential for a supercell or two as well. Wind shear is quite favorable for storm rotation, but storm energy will be on the lower end of the spectrum. This type of setup is common in late November, and it is one that historically produces severe weather in our region. Damaging winds and a tornado risk will accompany these storms, as well as heavy rain (which we certainly need). Make sure your severe weather action plan is ready to go in case watches & warnings are issued!
TUESDAY: The rest of the showers from overnight will clear away, leaving cloud coverage for out Tuesday. Temperatures will be in the lower 60s. Temperatures overnight will be in the low to middle 40s.
WEDNESDAY: Cooler air behind the front will keep high temperatures for the middle of the week cooler. High temps will be only in the middle 50s. We will expect to have a partly cloudy sky. The overnight low temperatures will be colder, in the middle 30s!
