Finally, something to talk about other than the heat! For at least the next few days in SE Mississippi and SW Alabama, the temperatures should stay out of the 90s. This is no doubt a relief after the intense heat.
The highs today are likely to stay in the low 80s due to the abundant clouds and precipitation.
The rain chances are high today throughout the region. This will bring much needed rainfall to the region as well as bring down the temperatures. The chance for rain will persist throughout the rest of the week and through the weekend.
On Monday, a ridge of upper level high pressure is expected to move into the area. This ridging will result in hot temperatures that could reach the mid to upper 90s on the hottest days.
These high temperatures are expected to persist into at least Wednesday. Additionally, the rain chances are low, so there is not much hope for relief during these days.
