DISCUSSION

Issued at 1250 PM CST Sat Nov 14 2026

It's a sunny and dry day as a surface ridge remains anchored over the Mid MS Valley. As an upper shortwave over the Red River Valley, trailing the broader upper trough over the East Coast, shifts southeastward toward the northern Gulf tomorrow into Monday, a surface low will track through SE Texas into the Gulf. High clouds will increase ahead of this system tonight. This will inhibit stronger radiational cooling from taking place during the overnight, and for this reason, a few Delta counties were trimmed from the Freeze Warning for tonight. Nevertheless, temps are still expected to dip to near or below freezing over roughly the northeast quarter of the forecast area by tomorrow morning, and a Freeze Warning remains in tact for these areas. As this system tracks south of our area, overrunning moisture will bring scattered sprinkles or possibly rain showers into the area later in the day Sunday. However, given the very dry low level airmass, measurable rainfall will be difficult to come by. A few central LA and south MS locations could pick up negligible amounts. The surface ridge will build back in through the day Monday as this system shifts south of our area.

Near freezing temps are possible again Monday and Tuesday mornings over northeast MS, but as we move beyond the growing season and with those areas already having received a freeze this weekend, no additional freeze products are planned. Otherwise, temps will gradually moderate through the remainder of the week. In addition, dry conditions are expected as surface ridging remains posted over the eastern CONUS. A pair of late week shortwaves will pass well north of the area, teasing potential for rain by the weekend, but the probability of these resulting in legitimate rainfall in our area is low at this time. /DL/
