Drizzle and light rain possible today, tonight and into tomorrow morning, then cooler and drier: Southern MS/AL/LA Weather Forecast – 2/16/24

It will be a bit of a grey, damp, chilly day across the area. Temperatures will still climb into the 60s in most spots, but with the lack of sunshine, it may not feel as warm. Plus, with the chance for some drizzle, that may help to also make it feel cooler.

As we move through the day, it does look like most of the rain will remain to the southside of the area.

The HRRR model shows a lot of the shower activity confined to the coast, but I think some light rain and drizzle will be possible across much of the area. Not a lot of rain, by any means, but some.

Then tonight, a weak front glides through with very little consequence.

behind it, things dry out, cool down slightly, and look decent for Sunday.

Then we will have a gradual warming trend through next week before the next shot for storms arrives late next week and toward next weekend.
