South Mississippi Forecast 8/5/21

Thigns are looking drier and warmer over the next few days. In fact, temperatures by next week will be back into the mid 90s with heat index values around 105.

In the meantime, though, temperatures won’t be quite as warm. Highs around 90 today and in the low 90s for tomorrow. It really starts to ramp up this weekend and into next week.

The chance for a cooling shower will be on the lower-end of the scale for the next five days, too. So for those of you who were sick of the wet weather all through June and most of July, the good news is that things have dried off quite well.

The bad new is that it is still summer, so it is going to be rather warm.

Graphical Forecast



Tropics

There are two areas to watch in the Tropics this morning. The National Hurricane Center has highlighted one area in the open Atlantic and another wave coming off the African Coast.

So far, neither of these pose any real risk to the Gulf Coast. As of now. There is some indication that the “Yellow” area may ‘fly under the radar’ so to speak and get closer to Florida, but for the most part we are talking about Fish Storms at the present time.
