217 PM CDT Sat Mar 15 2025 ...New DISCUSSION... .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/ ![]() ![]() Click here for UKAWC Point Agricultural, Lawn & Garden Forecast/Outlook in case of corrupt tables.
