.DISCUSSION...
HIGH PRESSURE WILL PREVAIL ACROSS SOUTHERN MISSISSIPPI. THIS IS
GOING TO KEEP THINGS QUIET WITH LIGHT NORTHWEST WINDS. 20 FT WINDS
WILL STILL POSSIBLY PEAK OUT AROUND 7-10 MPH BUT WILL PROBABLY BE
A TAD LIGHTER BUT TRANSPORT WINDS WILL REMAIN ABOVE THE CRITICAL
2.5-3 M/S. THINGS WILL REMAIN QUIET THROUGH FRIDAY WITH THE
POSSIBILITY OF RAIN RETURNING LATE SATURDAY BUT MORE LIKELY LATE
SUNDAY AS THE NEXT COLD FRONT APPROACHES. AS FOR FOG TONIGHT
THINGS LOOK TO REMAIN TO DRY FOR FOG TO DEVELOP BUT GIVEN POSSIBLE
RESIDUAL SMOKE AND VERY LIGHT TO CALM WINDS TONIGHT I CAN NOT
RULE OUT LIGHT FOG OUT. RH VALUES SHOULD REMAIN ABOVE CRITICAL
VALUES AS WELL.
