Marine Weather and Tide Forecast for Henderson Point, MS

LONG TERM
(Thursday night through Tuesday)
Issued at 254 AM CDT Wed Apr 30 2025

A front will move into central TX and stall Thu while another front moves in from the north and stalls near the LA/AR line Fri. The storms that develop along this front will cold pool out and continue to refire southward into the area by late Fri and Fri night. Some of these could be strong as well. Diurnal instability will keep rain chances high going through the weekend. There is evidence that the stalled front over northern LA/central MS will filter into the area by Sun or Mon. This would help keep precip numbers higher than normal but will eventually begin to weaken its thermal boundary into mid next week.
