Meteorologist Trey Tonnessen: “Overnight 411” Forecast

SUMMARY: The weather this evening is very comfortable, not feeling like November at all. The Gulf and the cities of Gulfport and Biloxi are calm. There will be a few upper level clouds and temperatures staying in the mid-50s for overnight lows. The wind will come from the South Southwest at 5 mph. There is no precipitation or storms, but there are some upper level clouds and moisture advection, which will suppress fog formation. However, dense fog is likely to form along the coast. Overall, the weather will remain mild and humid with upcoming showers and storms later in the week.

Monday November 6th, 2023: Less efficient radiational cooling will mean that the set-up for radiation fog will need some help from moisture advection in order to produce fog tonight. Winds won’t be strong enough to efficiently advect moisture, which means patchy fog is more likely than dense fog for our viewing area, besides the coast. Regionally speaking, the highest probability of fog appears to be parts of the Mississippi Coast. Onshore flow on Tuesday and Wednesday should continue to bring dew point temperatures higher and subsequently; highs will be warmer in the middle of the week. The primary hazard in the short term remains dense fog potential on Wednesday and Thursday mornings. A combination of radiative and advective fog set-ups will make dense fog development more likely beginning Tuesday night with highest potential covering southwest and coastal Mississippi and continuing into the northern Florida counties both days. 

I am also focused on the arrival of a frontal system, which currently appears to be timed between Thursday and Friday. This front will provide multiple chances for rainfall over the next seven days, but the day when storms seem likely is Friday. More specific timing will become clearer in your WXXV News 25 Meteorologist’s on-air forecasts over the next few days. Be sure to download our WXXV Weather App for the most up to date and area specific breaking weather information straight from the weather center here at the station.

As always: A cloudy day is no match for a sunny disposition. Be nice to each other.

SUMMARY: In October 2017, a new world record lightning bolt was detected, flashing across more than 500 miles. A study published in the American Meteorological Society Journal revealed satellite data showing a single lightning strike traveling from Texas through Oklahoma and Arkansas into Missouri. This surpassed the previous record of a lightning bolt stretching over South Mississippi in April 2020. The 2017 lightning event was part of a complex of storms stretching from Texas to South Mississippi, with satellite data indicating the bolt traveled 477 miles, setting a new record for the longest lightning flash ever observed.

The previous record was held by a bolt that flashed across the Gulf Coast and South Mississippi.

SUMMARY: The Attorney General’s office has concluded its investigation into a 2024 officer-involved shooting at the William Bell Apartments in Gulfport. Police responded to reports of screams inside an apartment and found Kendrall Tate actively stabbing another man. The Gulfport police officer involved shot Tate, who later died from his injuries. The AG’s investigation determined the use of force was justified. This finding comes alongside reviews of two other officer-involved shootings in Corinth and Meridian, which were also examined by Attorney General Lynn Fitch’s office.
