While some rain was beneficial, the heaviest storms primarily affected coastal areas. Forecasts indicate a potential area of low pressure developing along the Texas and Louisiana coast, possibly leading to rain in South Mississippi over the next few days. Temperatures will remain warm, with highs in the 90s. As Labor Day weekend approaches, the chance for scattered showers and storms persists, so outdoor plans may need backup arrangements.

FIRST ALERT:Tropics update & weekend forecast (08/02/2025)
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.

FIRST ALERT: Scattered showers and storms possible, NHC marks zone off east coast for development

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.
