FIRST ALERT: Pleasant mornings, hot afternoons expected (09/03/2025)
SUMMARY: South Mississippi will experience pleasant mornings with temperatures in the 60s and 70s, followed by hot afternoons reaching the 90s. Tonight is quiet and comfortable, with light south winds and no significant weather activity. A dip in the jet stream brings cooler, drier air and wind shear, limiting tropical activity in the Gulf. Rain chances are low, with only stray showers possible. Water conditions are calm with northwest to southeast winds at 5-10 knots and seas 1-2 feet. The Atlantic has a high chance of tropical development, but it is expected to stay away from the Gulf, posing more concern for the East Coast.
Chief Meteorlogist Eric Jeansonne explains why relief from the summer heat may come during the earlier hours of the day.
