Things are really calming down across southern Mississippi as high pressure takes over. That means the area will finally get to dry out after – what seems like – months of rainy days. In fact, as of right now, it looks like the area will see about five days in a row of dry weather, followed by a few more days of very-likely-to-remain-dry weather.
That is something we haven’t been able to say since last October. Pretty incredible.
Leaves plenty of time for me to keep tabs on the Tropics. And, well, the Tropics sure are getting an early start this year. There are two areas of interest out in the Tropical Atlantic – one in the Gulf and the other out toward Bermuda.
Thankfully, neither pose any imminent risk to southern Mississippi. And truly, neither pose much of a risk to develop into anything with ‘major’ impacts to anyone.

In The Tropics
The National Hurricane Center is now monitoring two areas of interest. One in the Gulf and the other out toward Bermuda. Again, neither pose any risk to southern Mississippi. These are going to be storms that simply ‘pad the stats’ on the seasonal totals if they ever do develop into anything.
From the NHC:
Bet the one in the Gulf had a name by this time tomorrow.
*has … HAS a name …
