A Strong Or Severe Storm Possible Overnight; Cool And Breezy Monday
There’s a small threat for a strong or severe storm Sunday night. Damaging wind gusts, but also a brief tornado appear possible. The main severe threat looks like it will be along a narrow line of showers/storms crossing I-59 in Mississippi. The line is moving east quickly, and pushes through our area between midnight and 4AM. Even if we don’t see any severe storms, the line of showers is producing wind gusts over 40 mph. We could see similar wind speeds as it moves through our area. Most of the rain should be east of our area by sunrise Monday morning. Temperatures drop quickly behind the departing storm system. Temperatures fall into the upper 40s to low 50s early Monday morning.
Monday remains cool and breezy, with high temperatures only in the 50s. Winds remain sustained at 10 to 15 mph throughout the day, with gusts over 20 mph at times. The morning looks mostly cloudy, but clouds gradually clear during the day. The sky looks clear Monday night, leading to a cold night with lows in the low to mid 30s. Tuesday looks cool with a fair amount of sunshine. Expect highs in the upper 50s to low 60s. Clouds increase late in the day, with showers possible by the evening. This in advance of yet another rain-maker for our area. Rain becomes more widespread Tuesday night through Wednesday. Expect highs only in the 50s Wednesday, with rain departing late.
Wednesday night lows fall back into the 30s as the midweek system departs. Thursday and Friday look dry, mainly sunny, and cool. Expect highs in the 50s each day with lows in the 30s. Another round of rain appears possible next weekend. At this time, it appears the bulk of the rain might be Saturday night. Next Monday could start the week of Christmas on a mostly sunny and dry note, with highs near 60°.
