When it comes to summertime in Mississippi, there are several things that bring back childhood memories for many people: watermelons, splashing in a creek, and the classic Bobbie Gentry song ‘Ode to Billie Joe” being played on the third of June.

Other than a few scattered showers and thunderstorms the past couple of days, it’s certainly dry enough for a ‘sleepy, dusty Delta day.’” That pattern continues with sunny skies across the state with the best chance of rain, albeit still a very slight chance, in the southern half.

Temperatures continue to climb across the state, too. Just about every community will hit at least 90 degrees today, some of the first time this year.
