.LONG TERM...
(Wednesday through Sunday night)
Issued at 1214 PM CST Mon Feb 2 2026

Tuesday night through Wednesday night, a weak cold front will
move through the area, enhancing rain chances. In general, looking
at the models, these storms could be strong, but are not expected
to be severe at this time. The main threats as the storms move
through will be lightning and gusty subsevere winds (40-55mph).
Some localized flash flooding could also be possible in urban
areas as the system moves through, but we are not expecting
widespread flooding concerns given the progressive nature of the
system.

This cold front will lower temperatures temporarily from cold air
advection, but it will not be as severe a drop as the most recent
cold snap. Generally, Thursday morning, lows will be near
freezing for areas along and north of I-10/12. Friday morning,
lows will be above freezing for all locations across the area. It
may touch freezing for an hour or two in coastal MS (mainly
Jackson County), but it would be very short-lived freeze
conditions. So, likely there will be no need for any cold
headlines or products.

Thursday through the weekend, high pressure builds over the area
and dominates the upper level pattern. Highs will be in the upper
60s and low 70s through the weekend with lows in the mid 40s.
Looking at the models, conditions will also be dry all weekend.
So, overall looking at a very pleasant weekend with conditions
near normal or just above normal for this time of year. MSW

(18Z TAFS)

VFR conditions prevail at all area airports and will persist
through the forecast period. MSW

.MARINE...
Issued at 1214 PM CST Mon Feb 2 2026

High pressure has settled over the region and winds have relaxed. As
high pressure starts to push east of the area later today we will
begin to see light return flow. By tonight low pressure will begin
to move across the southern Plains and into the TN Valley Tuesday
afternoon. At the same time the sfc high will be centered over FL
leading to moderate to strong onshore flow with the possibility of
needing SCS or low end SCY headlines. The cold front will then slide
across the area Wednesday bringing winds back out of the northwest
and gusty and SCY headlines are likely by Wednesday
afternoon/evening.
