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.
