It was another nice day in South Mississippi! Isolated showers can’t be ruled out tonight, but many of us will stay rain free. Temperatures will drop into the low to mid 60s by Wednesday morning.
Slightly cooler and drier air will move in throughout the day on Wednesday. We’ll be in the low 80s in the afternoon, and a few showers will be possible. However, not everyone will see rain. Even drier air will arrive by Thursday, making the humidity even lower! Here's the latest forecast.

Today is the first official day of hurricane season, and the low in the Gulf of Mexico is now Tropical Depression Two. It is bringing us breezy conditions, a small craft advisory in the offshore waters, a small craft exercise caution in the Sound and a few scattered showers. It will stay in the northeastern Gulf of Mexico today before starting to move south through the day on Friday, eventually toward the western tip of Cuba this weekend. The first day of June is meteorological summer, and high temperatures will be in the mid to upper 80s again. We expect more hit and miss showers Friday and into the weekend, but it will also be hotter as TD Two pulls away from South Mississippi bringing in some hotter, drier air. 90s will be likely this weekend.
