Marine Weather and Tide Forecast for Bassfield, MS

DISCUSSION
Issued at 227 AM CDT Wed Mar 18 2026

Today through Wednesday...

Chilly conditions will occur across our forecast area this morning as early morning guidance continues to show a mid/upper level disturbance passing to our north. This will also result in increasing cloud cover mainly over central and northern portions of our CWA as a quick look at GOES 16 visible satellite shows mid to high clouds building from the north. Lows this morning will range from the lower 30s across the eastern half of the forecast area.
Elsewhere, morning lows will range in the upper 30s/lower 40s. A light frost/freeze cannot be ruled out across portions of east and southeast MS this morning.

Quiet conditIons will prevail across our forecast area this afternoon thanks to the sfc high settling over the southeast CONUS.
Daytime highs will peak into the mid/upper 60s areawide. Similar conditions will over occur tonight with overnight lows dipping into the mid to upper 40s. /CR/

Not much to talk about in the long term period. The weather will remain quiet and dry through the rest of this week into the weekend with with temperatures eventually climbing back to above normal reading and into the 80s. Weather conditions will remain quiet through next week Wednesday. /CR/
