Mississippi Skies: Rain chances increase for some, dry weather for others across Magnolia State

Published 8:44 pm Tuesday, October 10, 2023

We now have a better idea where that Gulf low is heading Wednesday and Wednesday night. Unfortunately, it’s going more towards our east.

We still have some decent rain chances for southern Mississippi, especially towards the beaches, but upstate Mississippi isn’t going to get much rain at all this time around.

Places in Mississippi that do get precipitation Wednesday and Wednesday night could have heavy rain at times. We’ll also have some wind gusts up to 30 miles per hour.
