7/5 – Payton’s Wednesday Night Forecast

We’re getting into the typical summertime pattern here in South Mississippi where it will be hot, humid & stormy during the afternoon. The area of high pressure that has been centered over the Gulf Coast the past few days will start to makes its way out of the area, and rain chance will start to go up toward the weekend. The best rain chances will be during the late morning and afternoon hours. We can’t rule out a few thunderstorms overnight, but most of the area will likely stay dry during the overnight hours. Temperatures will continue to climb into the lower 90s all week, but it will feel closer to 100 degrees, so take it easy if you have to be outside during the day.

The area of low pressure off the west coast of Africa continues to move slowly off to the west. It does have medium chance of becoming a tropical depression within the next few days. It does not appear this will be a threat to South Mississippi at this time. Have a great evening!
