Grant to help UVA, Albemarle close achievement gap

It will be another hot day across South Mississippi with highs in the upper 80s to low 90s. We are going to be on the warm to hot side each afternoon, though not necessarily record-breaking hot like Tuesday. We do expect to see slightly higher rain chances today and tomorrow, but most of South Mississippi will not see rain. The lack of rain will be great for our cruisers, but it is terrible for our worsening drought. The burn ban is still in place until further notice due to the exceptionally dry conditions. Morning lows are going to be pleasant in the upper 60s to low 70s. The weekend looks like more of the same dry and warm to hot weather.

It’s mild and a little muggy this morning. We’re going to warm up a good bit today with highs close to 90. While we could use some rain, don’t get your hopes up too high! Only a few hit or miss showers and storms will be possible today. Many of us will stay dry, and it looks like the heaviest rain will remain offshore. We're not going to see much rain over the next several days, which will lead to the drought worsening. Here's the latest forecast.
