Currently, the Atlantic, Caribbean, and Gulf are clear, with only some Pacific activity near Central America. South Mississippi will see mostly sunny skies with highs near 87°F but feeling like the low to mid-90s due to moderate humidity.

SUMMARY: Good morning, South Mississippi! A cold front approaching from the west will pass through later today, bringing a 40% chance of showers mainly from mid-afternoon to early evening. Currently, skies are clear and sunny with only distant clouds and isolated showers. There is a low-level risk of strong storms due to heating, though the front is not very strong. Tonight will be cooler and less humid, temperatures dropping into the mid-60s, closer to normal for this time of year. The front clears overnight, clearing skies and light northerly breezes lead to a sunny, dry weekend. Rain and humidity return mid-next week.

SUMMARY: South Mississippi is experiencing continuous thunderstorms with heavy rainfall and frequent lightning, especially around Harrison County. A strong storm triggered a special weather statement but is not classified as severe. Multiple showers and thunderstorm lines are moving through the area, causing occasional power outages and raising concerns about localized flooding. Weather models differ on timing, but scattered storms are expected to continue into Thursday, with a 50-60% chance of rain and a slight flash flooding risk (level two). A cool front will arrive by Saturday, bringing less humidity and cooler temperatures for the weekend before warming again next week.
