Mississippi Skies: Rain chances or fall temps: What fizzles first?

Published 9:23 pm Tuesday, September 12, 2023

The expected cold front has established a strong line and it doesn’t look like there will be much wiggle room.

To the north, people will experience a slight chance for rain, cooler temps, and comfortable humidity levels. To the south of the front, temperatures will be hot, humidity levels will be steamy, and skies will remain mostly dry, except for the Gulf Coast. Humidity level will actually be high enough to spark a few showers and storms in beach communities.

Temperatures will stay similar for several days. If it’s hot, it will stay hot; if it’s comfortable, it will stay comfortable. Rain chances are still low.
