11/5 – Dry Thursday, Showers Possible Friday

Clouds will increase tonight as temperatures settle into the mid and lower 50s with calm winds, and the possibility for patchy fog as we head into the early morning hours on Thursday as well.

By Thursday afternoon, we’ll be looking at a mix of sun and clouds with highs near the upper 70s, followed by a mild night in the low 60s. A few showers and thunderstorms could develop Friday, mainly in the late morning and early afternoon, but breaks of sunshine are expected later in the day. While we’re expecting just general thundestorms, there is a marginal risk for damaging winds or small hail across South Mississippi, along with the possibility of waterspouts for anything that develops over the water. Average rainfall totals will stay below 0.10″, except in heavier thunderstorms.

Aside from another small rain chance, Saturday will be warm and sunny with highs around 80, while Sunday turns a little cooler and more breezy behind a cold front, with highs in the mid-70s and lows plummeting to near 40 by Monday morning.

Even though sunshine returns Monday and Tuesday, temperatures will be downright chilly with highs only in the upper 50s to low 60s, and mornings dipping into the 30s, accompanied by a brisk north wind, which will make it feel even colder.

Safe to say that if you have sensitive outdoor plants, you may want to find a place out of the cold to bring them, and although we shouldn’t drop below freezing, we may see frost advisories or even freeze watches go into effect by Monday.

Warmer weather returns by midweek as highs climb back into the upper 60s with plenty of sunshine.
