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.

Meteorologist Taylor Graham gives what to expect from the Tropics and upcoming weather this weekend.

SUMMARY: In October 2017, a new world record lightning bolt was detected, flashing across more than 500 miles. A study published in the American Meteorological Society Journal revealed satellite data showing a single lightning strike traveling from Texas through Oklahoma and Arkansas into Missouri. This surpassed the previous record of a lightning bolt stretching over South Mississippi in April 2020. The 2017 lightning event was part of a complex of storms stretching from Texas to South Mississippi, with satellite data indicating the bolt traveled 477 miles, setting a new record for the longest lightning flash ever observed.

The previous record was held by a bolt that flashed across the Gulf Coast and South Mississippi.
