Ryan’s “Sweltering” Wednesday Forecast

It has been a hot and sticky Wednesday so far, with dew points in the 80s in some areas and a heat index near 103 in Gulfport. We had less in the way of showers than we had the day before, but there is still a small chance of some rain through the rest of the evening, but it is very unlikely. We still have a couple hours of sunlight left so be sure to protect yourself if you’re going outside for a long period of time. Conditions don’t really improve over the next few days. The humidity gradually increases along with the temperature maxing out near Friday with temps in the mid 90s on the waterfront. Inland areas may pass 100 without the help of the heat index. It’s around this time that that we see a double weak frontal passage, leading to some drying/clearing as we begin next week. Don’t expect much of a cool down though, we’ll only drop into the upper 80s for a few days before returning to the 90s, and don’t forget about the start of Summer on Monday.
