SUMMARY: Scattered showers and storms continued across South Mississippi over Father’s Day weekend and are expected to persist into Monday and Tuesday. A waterspout came ashore near Gulfport and Long Beach, quickly dissipating. While rain chances taper off overnight, daytime heating will fuel more storms early this week, with possible localized flooding due to saturated ground. A pattern shift later in the week will reduce storm coverage but increase temperatures. Highs will reach the low 90s on the coast and mid-90s inland by the weekend. Despite the heat, the tropics remain quiet with no development expected over the next seven days.

SUMMARY: Good morning South Mississippi, and happy Father’s Day! It’s a nice start with mostly clear skies and temperatures in the 70s and 80s. Expect increasing cloud cover and scattered showers and storms developing by the afternoon, especially around 2 to 3 PM. Some storms may produce frequent lightning, small hail, and gusty winds up to 40-50 mph, but no severe weather is expected. Rain chances continue through midweek, easing by Thursday or Friday as a high-pressure ridge strengthens, bringing lower rain chances and hotter temperatures. No tropical activity is expected in the Gulf or Atlantic over the next seven days.
