12/20 – Brantly’s “Soggy Saturday” Friday Night Forecast

Mostly cloudy skies will persist through the evening hours ahead of scattered showers late tonight. Temperatures will be cool, but not nearly as cold as last night. Overnight lows will be in the mid to upper 40s.

On Saturday, the first official day of winter, rain chances will be elevated at around 90 percent as a low pressure system over the Gulf of Mexico meanders near the coast. Overcast skies associated with this rainmaker will keep temperatures cool with highs only in the mid 50s Saturday and Sunday.

Rain will eventually clear out late Sunday evening, with totals of 1-3 inches expected for most areas in South Mississippi through the weekend. Next week, temperatures will gradually get warmer under partly to mostly sunny skies. By Christmas Day, temperatures should be near 70 degrees.
