Drying out but staying humid: Southern MS / AL / LA Weather Forecast – 10/7/21

Things will be drying out for the next few days, but don’t expect it to feel like Autumn, saldy. Temperatures will still manage to climb into the mid to upper 80s during the next week and dewpoints will be in the 60s and 70s.

The higher humidity will start this weekend and stick around into next week. This is because a ridge of high pressure will be sliding over the region and give us “return flow” off the Gulf of Mexico.

That means it will still “feel” like late Summer. At least into, through the weekend and into next week.
