5/6/21 South Mississippi Forecast: Still nice, but rain returns next week…

Just a quick forecast for this morning as I’m running up against a busy day today. Thankfully, the dry weather is going to stick around for a few days ebfore the area gets back into a rainy pattern again with a stalled front in the area.

So far severe weather looks unlikely, but the potential for localized flash flooding may end up being a concern as we get toward the middle of next week.
