Meteorologist Trey Tonnessen: “Overnight Severe Risk” 9PM Forecast
SUMMARY: On Monday night, central Mississippi is experiencing storms moving eastward, potentially reducing the severe risk and tornado watch in some areas. A line of storms extends across Mississippi into Louisiana with severe thunderstorm warnings in place, as visualized on the weather map. The conditions are windy but calmer during the broadcast. Rain has intensified on the Gulf Coast, leading to widespread downpours. Central Mississippi dealt with hectic weather, including multiple tornado warnings. A tornado watch persists until 1:00 a.m. due to trailing storms from the Gulf heading northeast. Heavy showers and thunderstorms are possible as a warm front moves north and a cold front approaches, expected to clear by mid-morning with temperatures on the Gulf Coast remaining in the lower 70s tonight. The area is under a level three risk for severe weather. Looking towards Thanksgiving, there is a 20-30% chance of rain, less intense than the current conditions.
November 20th, 2023: Monday afternoon and evening saw 24 tornado warnings issued (as of the most recent expiration). Many in the southern United States have been asking “It is late November, now two days before days until thanksgiving, what the heck is happening?”
SUMMARY: Many shrimpers from the coast are heading west this weekend as Louisiana's inshore shrimp season opened on Thursday, while Mississippi waters remain closed. Min Trong, who sells shrimp from his van in Long Beach on weekends, is preparing to open a seafood store. He notes that for the second consecutive year, shrimping conditions have been less than ideal, driving prices down. Factors like excessive freshwater and wind are affecting shrimp availability. Trong anticipates Mississippi's shrimp season to open around mid-June but felt last year's season started too early. Shrimp prices have remained low for the past two years.
Minh Troung and other shrimpers say it'll be a few weeks before conditions are right for shrimping in the Mississippi Sound.
