High pressure holding on across the region: Southern MS/AL/LA Weather Forecast – 6/17/22

Plenty of sunshine this afternoon as we continue to bake under a big ridge of high pressure. It’s like Groundhog Day. Only instead of snow and Bill Murray it is hot and humid without Bill Murray.

The ridge will eventually ease back a bit, but generally, it is going to hold through the next 10(ish) days.

I could go on and on about the big ridge, but I’ll let the interns tackle that! They have a look at the zone forecasts with more specific details about what it means for you!
