Cloudy, Breezy, & Much Cooler

A large complex of showers and thunderstorms across southern Mississippi yesterday blocked the inflow to the north ahead of the cold front, and as a result, most communities around the county remained dry. Another band of moderate to heavy rain is located across central and southern Mississippi in association with a cold front. Behind the front, temperatures have dropped into the lower 50s this morning across the area. Skies will be mostly cloudy today, and with strong cold air advection occurring in the wake of the cold front, current temperatures will probably be the warmest we see today. Temperatures will drop into the upper 40s late this morning before slowly dropping into the mid 40s by late this afternoon. It will be rather breezy today with wind gusts exceeding 20 mph at times. By this evening, skies should become mostly clear, but the boundary layer will likely not decouple overnight. As a result, temperatures should not plummet, but it will still be a chilly night. Lows tomorrow morning will be near 31.
