11/15 – Jeff’s “Gloomy Pattern Continues” Wednesday Afternoon Forecast
SUMMARY: Weather conditions from the Golden Nugget show a dull day with low visibility due to clouds and rain, with light rain and drizzle prevalent in the area. The Mississippi Power Doppler indicates steady rain moving through St Martin towards Diberville and along the Harrison County Coast. This will persist for a few hours with light rain spreading across George and Stone Counties. No sunshine is expected, and conditions will be quite windy, with gusts between 15 to 25 mph. The rain coverage will decrease overnight, but winds will remain strong with a 20% chance of showers. Despite a south-situated low pressure, the heaviest rain remains over the Gulf; however, cloud cover will persist, potentially lifting slightly in the afternoon. The forecast predicts continued gloominess with a slight chance of sunlight on Friday before a cold front arrives, but showers are unlikely due to the timing of the front.
