Widespread showers start later Wednesday

Tonight, will be partly cloudy and humid with lows in the mid to upper 60s. Rain chances will be low overnight, but closer to daybreak, we will see some scattered showers, some could be heavy at times. Don’t forget your rain gear as you head out the door in the morning; you will likely need it by the afternoon.

A cold front will bring higher rain chances starting Wednesday afternoon and evening. The heavy rain and possible thunderstorms will last through the overnight night hours and into and through the day Thursday. There is a marginal (1 out of 5) risk for strong storms and heavy rain on Wednesday and Thursday. A sliver of the area, including Pearl River County is in the slight (2 out 5) risk area. Stay weather aware.

There could be a few lingering showers on Friday. The cold air will move into South Mississippi through the day on Friday. It will be colder and drier over the weekend.
