MESOSCALE UPDATE

Issued at 836 AM CST Wed Nov 26 2025

Not much to talk about regarding the forecast this morning. Quiet weather conditions will persist across our forecast area today as near term guidance continues to highlight a dry cold front propagating east towards the Gulf Coast. Pressure gradients will tighten over our area which will lead to some gustier winds near the 20-25 range around noon. A quick look at GOES 16 visible satellite shows some mid to high cumulus clouds mainly over portions of central MS and south MS. Areas north of I-20 will see daytime temperatures peak in the upper 50s. Meanwhile, areas along and south of I-20 will see highs in the low/mid 60s. /CR/

DISCUSSION

Issued at 1229 AM CST Wed Nov 26 2025

Through mid next week...

Quiet weather persists through the end of the work week with a dry cold front progged to push across the area today. Pressure gradient associated with this front could lead to some gustier winds near the 20-25mph range. A surface high will propagate towards the Gulf Coast region in its wake, resulting in subfreezing low temperatures across much of the area through the remainder of the week.

Rain chances return this weekend with a shortwave rounding the base of the longer wave trough. While a few isolated thunderstorms are possible, severe chances look pretty slim as the trajectories to recover from a very cold dry airmass are not ideal. Moisture remains very suppressed to the south. Another surface high will propagate towards the region in the wake of this cold front and will bring a return of cold low temperatures. However, this round looks more like a glancing blow, with freezing temps most likely in the north early to mid next week./SAS/
