The rain chances we’ve been expecting all week finally arrive Thursday and Thursday night, and chances have actually increased for a few communities, although we’re not expecting any widespread heavy rain.

We also have a chance for some isolated to scattered thunderstorms for most Mississippi communities. These storms could have brief heavy rain and strong wind, but the tornado chance is very low.

We now have Tropical Storm Tammy in the Atlantic Ocean. Right now, we’re expecting the front that’s bringing us some rain chances to eventually turn Tammy to the north, away from the United States.
