SUMMARY: Good evening, South Mississippi. Meteorologist Hither Grim reports typical summer weather this weekend: hot, humid, with scattered showers and storms. Some spots, like Gulfport and north of I-10, saw 2-3 inches of rain, providing temporary relief. Overnight rain chances remain low, with Sunday morning mostly dry—good for outdoor activities or church. A weak boundary along the coast and a low-pressure area will maintain daily, hit-or-miss showers and storms through midweek. Temperatures will be in the upper 80s to low 90s, near average. No Gulf Coast tropical threats now, but two Atlantic systems are being monitored, with more activity expected later in August and September.

SUMMARY: A cold front has passed offshore South Mississippi and is now stalling, creating elevated chances for scattered showers and storms through Monday, mainly in the afternoons and evenings. Temperatures remain warm, with heat index values possibly reaching triple digits. Rainfall could be heavy in spots, especially east of the region, with some areas potentially receiving 3 to 5 inches. The stalled front may also spawn a low-pressure system, increasing thunderstorm activity. The National Hurricane Center notes a low chance of development off the North Carolina coast, posing no threat to South Mississippi. Tropical activity is expected to increase in the coming months.

Meteorologist Aaron Colby has the latest on Saturday’s potential for scattered showers and storms, and the chance for development off the east coast.
