Marine Weather and Tide Forecast for Diamondhead, MS

LONG TERM
(Tuesday through Saturday night)
Issued at 325 PM CDT Sun Apr 20 2025

Tuesday will continue to see scattered rain and storm chances throughout the day, with PoPs peaking in the afternoon hours around ~60-70% especially for the northern half of the CWA A couple disturbances from Texas will move through our area throughout the long term period, or at least through Thursday, before we quiet down some into the weekend.

Late Tuesday evening an MCS looks to fire back in western Texas that will move this way. Both the globals do show this MCS making it into at least a portion of our CWA during the day on Wednesday.
Additionally, any residual outflow boundaries or sea/lake breeze boundaries will serve as some lift for showers and thunderstorms to fire at random across the area. Overall, following a very dry couple weeks for us we do look like we are heading back into a more active pattern.
