Status Quo Resumes...
* Yesterday was an active weather day across Mississippi and Alabama, with severe thunderstorms producing loads of lightning, gusty winds, and some small hail. The weather caused several accidents, including one along Interstate 20 that really slowed things down yesterday evening.* RAINFALL: Radar estimates that some places saw in excess of three inches of rain last night - the heaviest amounts came in Jones and Wayne Counties...Meridian's Regional Airport measured only 0.02" of rain yesterday. This is very typical for this time of year, the distribution of rainfall is often very uneven.
* STATUS QUO: The weak front is draped across the Deep South, and thunderstorms have developed across south-central Mississippi. Our thinking is that more storms will develop through the afternoon, but we will not see nearly as many storms as yesterday. We'll be watching the radar closely...The status quo of hot and humid with scattered storms will last through the remainder of the week.
* TROPICS: Watching the cluster of storms in the northern Gulf. It looked primed to develop yesterday, but has since fallen apart. Another area off the Carolina coast shows some potential for development. The season is a long way from over.
