What a day we had for weather in South Mississippi today! In yesterday's forecast I called for partly cloudy skies and a 30% chance of rain, but we ended up with a bit more than that. Always one to admit…

Ryan's "Heat Advisory Wednesday" Forecast

This afternoon's heat advisory expired at 7 pm, but "feels like" conditions remained near 100 degrees well into the night for Gulfport and Biloxi. I'm expecting gradually clearing skies this evening which will help us barely dip into the uppers…

There was a rainbow or two around the Gulf Coast today due to the large amount of very isolated showers and t-storms and the abundance of blue sky and sunshine we had. The rain will continue into the evening and…

Our rainy/stormy afternoon has lead to a cooler Thursday night, low expected to drop as low as 76. We will top out near 90 tomorrow, but expecting to stay in the upper 80s along the waterfront. Overcast skies and rain-cooled…

Ryan's "Humid/Hot Hump Day" Evening Forecast
