Mississippi Skies: Where will the strongest storms be today?

Published 1:30 am Thursday, May 18, 2023

We’re looking at some more storms today similar to earlier in the week, but storms shouldn’t be as widespread or as strong as the past two days. The best chance for storms today will be in central and southern Mississippi between the U. S. Highway 98 and I-20 corridors. Any part of the state could have a shower or storm this afternoon, but northern and Gulf Coast areas should only have some isolated weather events.

Right now, we’re looking at the possibility of Sunday being a really great weather day. We’ll keep an eye out to see if that holds.
