Synopsis for pascagoula to atchafalaya river out 60 nm..
high pressure will continue to build into the area today and tomorrow with light northerly winds expected. A reinforcing cold front will sweep through the waters Tuesday night, and this will push northerly winds up into exercise caution range of 15 to 20 knots from late Tuesday night through Thursday morning. Winds will then relax back to around 10 to 15 knots and shift to the east and then southeast Thursday afternoon as high pressure passes to the north. By Friday, the high will be east of the waters and a moderate onshore flow of 10 to 15 knots is expected.

DISCUSSION
Issued at 414 AM CST Mon Dec 4 2023

Today and Tonight:

An upper-level shortwave trough is silently sliding over the region early this morning. PWAT values are generally less than 0.5 inches across the area, even in advance of a reinforcing cold front pushing through at the surface today. Forecast soundings show a dry subsident layer in the wake of the frontal passage which will lead to a quick mix out of dry and breezy conditions by mid-morning.
Thankfully with recent rainfall, the fire danger is not high - especially in southern MS/LA where RH will be in the 30-35 percent this afternoon. Have therefore decided not to highlight any fire danger in the Hazardous Weather Outlook graphics for today. With clear skies tonight and high pressure moving in behind the cold front to bring calmer winds, parts of the area have a good chance to see temps fall to near freezing Tuesday morning with frost.
/NF/

Tuesday through next Monday...

By Tuesday, an upper trough is progged to exit the Lower Mississippi Valley and have brought a cold front through the ArkLaMiss region.
Drier air is expected to infiltrate the region from northerly flow, bringing more comfortable conditions Tuesday night into Wednesday.
Overnight lows on Tuesday will range near freezing in the north to the upper 30s to near 40 in the south, with some areas of frost expected along and north of I-20. By Wednesday, highs will be cooler, ranging in the lower to upper 50s across the areas. Freezing to below freezing temperatures are expected for northeast Mississippi on Wednesday night into the morning, with widespread frost expected across the entire ArkLaMiss region. Surface ridging is progged to take place Thursday and Friday, allowing for increased temperatures across the area, with highs climbing into the upper 60s to lower 70s on Friday and Saturday.

A pattern change is expected to take place on Friday as an upper trough swings across the central CONUS into the ArkLaMiss region, bringing the potential for showers and thunderstorms sometime Friday evening into Saturday. Global guidance is hinting at decent instability and shear for December, which could bring some strong to severe storms Saturday into Sunday. A Slight and Marginal risk has been advertised for severe storms in the west. This system is several days out and remains uncertain in severe potential and timing. We will continue to monitor this system as is gets closer.

These stronger winds should mix down through the day and increase gusts across the forecast area. Light to calm winds are expected after 00Z Tuesday. VFR conditions are expected to prevail at the TAF sites through the period. /NF/
