SERVICE.

.DISCUSSION...COLD FRONT AND LIGHT SHOWERS CONTINUE TO PUSH THROUGH
CENTRAL MISSISSIPPI AND TOWARDS SOUTHERN AND SOUTHEASTERN MISSISSIPPI.
THIS FRONT SHOULD MOVE THROUGH YOUR AREA AROUND 9PM. LIGHT SHOWERS SHOULD
MOVE IN WITH THE FRONT AND PERSIST FOR A LITTLE WHILE BEHIND THE FRONT
UNTIL MUCH DRIER AIR MOVES IN. WINDS BEHIND THIS FRONT WILL QUICKLY BEGIN
TO VEER AROUND TO THE NORTHWEST AND THEN NORTH NORTHWEST WITH WINDS LIKELY
REMAINING HIGH ENOUGH ALL NIGHT TO KEEP ANY FOG FROM DEVELOPING. DRIER AIR
WILL ALSO MOVE IN HELPING TO KEEP FOG/MIST FROM DEVELOPING. NOW THIS EVENING
JUST AHEAD OF THE FRONT SOME LIGHT FOG MAY DEVELOP AS THE WINDS WILL BE
LIGHT...MOISTURE WILL BE HIGH...AND WHAT IF ANY SMOKE IS STILL OUT THERE BUT
ONCE THE FRONT MOVES IN THIS WILL QUICKLY DISSIPATE. TOMORROW THINGS WILL
BE QUITE DRY WITH CRITICALLY LOW RH VALUES BUT THE 20 FT WINDS WILL REMAIN
JUST BELOW RED FLAG CRITERIA.
