Foggy this AM, storms Thursday, clearing for the weekend: Southern MS/AL/LA Weather Forecast – 1/31/23

The fog this morning may be pretty dense in some spots, so please make sure you give yourself some extra time out the door this morning. As we move through the day, the clouds will stick around. You may see a few pokes of sun, but it will remain mostly cloudy today.

The clouds will stick around for the next few days, too, with the next good shot for rain arriving on Thursday.

So far, it looks like the potential for severe weather is pretty low. While we can’t rule it out at this point, I am not overly concerned about it. The biggest threat, given the numbers in trhe data, would be some wind gusts up to 60mph in the stronger storms and the potential for a brief tornado.

Then that clears out and we shake out of this pattern and start to talk about a return to sunshine.
