Anyone from Mississippi knows that if one doesn’t like the weather, give it a couple days. That’s certainly the case this week as the entire state shifts to a spring-like pattern of warm temperatures and heavy rain.

Some of us will see rain today, but the real threat of torrential storms and potential flooding comes tomorrow. The Storm Prediction Center is already alerting our region that there could be widespread flash flooding and river flooding. Although there is a chance of rain over the next several days, it looks like some places in our state could squeeze out a dry New Year’s Eve.

The chance for severe weather with this system is low, but we’re keeping watch on a stronger front heading our way early next week.
