Nice weather through weekend, cloudy for Eclipse Day then stormy by midweek: Southern MS/AL/LA Weather Forecast

No major weather-related concerns through the rest of the week nor through the weekend. Mother Nature is going to cooperate with any outdoor plans and make your day-to-day rather pleasant.

Highs during the next few days will be in the 70s and 80s.

Then things start to cloud up on Sunday night and through most of the next week with chances for rain and storms here and there. In fact, it looks like the clouds will show up just in time for the Eclipse. A total bummer for those that didn’t get to take advantage of the last one.

So far the forecast for Monday is mostly cloudy skies with a 20 percent chance for showers. Not great conditions for viewing the sun.

There will be a shot for a few storms mixed in on Monday and Tuesday, but the real risk for more impactful storms arrives on Wednesday and into Thursday.

CIPS Analogs severe weather potential for next Wednesday

The CIPS Analogs have an orange 15% risk over the top of us for midweek next week. And, unlike last week, I think this has some legs. The system that is set to kick through looks to have some potency, and the question will be how far south does the potent weather develop.

Once the storms kick through, we set the stage for what looks like another nice weekend.
