Meteorologist Trey Tonnessen: “Rinse and Repeat” 10PM Forecast
SUMMARY: The Weather Authority reassures viewers that after last night’s storms, the weather has calmed, with no severe storms expected in the upcoming days. The Mississippi Gulf Coast experienced a few warnings, but the area avoided significant storm damage. Current satellite and radar imagery show clear conditions with clouds moving south due to northeasterly winds. Temperatures in the region are cooler, with Ocean Springs and Buuy in the upper 50s and Gulfport at 60 degrees. Cooler weather is forecasted, especially after another cold front next week. Tonight, temperatures will drop to the upper 40s to lower 50s. Clouds may return tomorrow evening, bringing the chance of light rain for Thanksgiving, following some sunshine earlier in the day.
Tuesday November 21st, 2023: The cold front has finally made it though the area with breezy
northwest winds in its wake. At the surface, a large area of high
pressure is centered over Texas with a weak upper ridge to our
west. To the east, the upper trough from the cold front is
lingering over the southeastern states. The next low pressure
system is also taking place over W. Mexico. The low already has a
stream of moisture moving over the area with south-southwest flow
aloft. This moisture will keep the upper level clouds over the
area for the next few days. The upper low will then lift
northeast towards the region and generally weaken/open up by the
time it gets here Friday morning. With how messy the upper and
surface features are with this, looks like we`ll just get some
light to moderate rain showers Thursday night into Friday morning,
in the southern part of the area.

New world record: lightning bolt flashes across sky for over 500 miles
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.
