Mississippi Skies: More storms Saturday; potentially rough Sunday

Published 11:12 pm Friday, June 16, 2023

Although many of us could have some more storms Saturday, it’s looking like Saturday could be a much better weather day than Sunday. Models and forecasts are showing Sunday could be similar to the setup that brought widespread damage across the state Friday morning.

It might be a good idea for people planning to travel much of a distance Sunday for Father’s Day or other events to consider moving those plans up a day. Although storms are still possible across the state Saturday, forecasts and weather models aren’t showing them to be nearly as strong or widespread as they were Friday or could be Sunday.

We may finally break this pattern of frequent severe weather by next week even though storms are possible for the next several days. Hang in there!
