Meteorologist Trey Tonnessen: “Pushing Buttons” Morning Forecast

SUMMARY: The weather forecast for today is a beautiful start to the day, but clouds will increase and there will be a chance of rain later on. Temperatures are comfortable, ranging from the 60s to 80s. Winds will increase from the east Southeast, reaching speeds of 10 to 20 mph in the afternoon. A cold front will move towards the area, causing gusty winds. Next week, cooler temperatures are expected with possible overnight lows in the mid-40s. There will be multiple chances of rainfall over the next seven days. Hurricane Tammy has weakened and is now Post-Tropical Tammy.

Thursday October 26th, 2023: This persistent pattern looks to stay around through the short-
term period as upper-level ridging meanders over the northern
Gulf. Surface winds have remained elevated as the deepening low
pressure over the central US tightens the pressure gradient
between it and the surface high over the southeast US. This has
mostly kept our fog development at bay as the high winds help to
mix out the boundary layer enough. Although, where winds remain
light, can`t rule out some patches of fog here or there, not
nearly as dense and widespread as the beginning of the week.
Mentionable PoPs have been added through the river parishes as
CAMs continue to depict shower development in that area where
low-level convergence in the wind field maxes out. The profile
suggests that these showers will be no more than just showers as
we remain too warm aloft from the ridge to promote more robust
storm development.

As the trough over the southern plains ejects off to the
northeast, it will take the surface low with it and that will help
to relax the pressure gradient, which will in turn lower winds
back down. Although winds will be lighter, they will still remain
elevated enough to keep fog development minimal Friday morning.
The ridge will still be in place over us, so expect much of the
same conditions as today, except winds slightly less than
Thursday.

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.
