.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 216 PM CDT Sat Mar 15 2025

Tonight: Tornado outbreak is currently in progress for the eastern 
half of our CWA. Strong to violent long-track tornadoes will remain 
possible through the afternoon. Large hail and damaging winds will 
also be possible.

Mid afternoon satellite imagery/RAP analysis showed the circulation 
around a potent shortwave/trough over the southern Plains. Mid 
afternoon surface analysis had a cold front dropping south across 
our delta region and northeast Louisiana parishes. As the shortwave 
trough continues shifting east the remainder of this afternoon and 
evening, the cold front will shift east as well and bring an end to 
the severe weather outbreak. Although the potential for severe 
weather will end in east Mississippi early this evening, there will 
be a low chance of light showers across the northern half of our CWA 
until well after midnight as the axis of the shortwave trough swings 
across our CWA. In the wake of the cold front and shortwave axis, 
temperatures will bottom out much cooler than recent morning but 
still a few degrees above normal in the upper 40s to lower 50s.
/22/

Through next Sunday: A ridging pattern will establish itself over
the region, bringing with it a welcome calm benign weather regime
for the work week. A weak cold front is expected to make its way 
through the area Wednesday night, which will drop our high 
temperatures from a balmy 75F to low-mid 60s to finish out the 
work week. Low temperatures will also take a nosedive from the mid
50s Wednesday morning, to low-mid 30s Thursday and Friday 
morning. At this time we are projected lows for the late week to 
stay just above freezing however continual monitoring will be 
needed for any minor adjustment that could drop our temperatures 
another few degrees, which will put some sites (particularly 
eastern ones) just below freezing. In conjunction with the 
aforementioned front traversing the CWA, there is a chance for 
some light scattered showers Wednesday night through Thursday 
morning for zones east of I-20. Projected totals remains less than
half an inch for the entire period so impacts from this event 
should remain minimal. Starting Friday afternoon, expect 
temperatures and general conditions to rebound back to seasonal 
norms./OAJ/
