Warmer Weather Ahead, Rain May Help With Fire Weather – Weekend Forecast for South MS/LA/AL 2/25/26

As the fires have raged across much of south Mississippi and Louisiana, it’s indicative of the lack of rain that we’ve received in the past month. That being said, obviously fires are terrible, but they do bring new growth later on, but please continue to support your local firefighters.

For the next few days, we can expect some on and off rain tomorrow and Friday before we dry back up. Temperatures will average in the 70s for the next several days with it reaching near 80 by Sunday. Otherwise, beautiful weather!
