Mississippi Skies: Tammy is now a hurricane; warm weather across the Magnolia State Saturday

Published 10:42 pm Friday, October 20, 2023

Get ready for a warm day across the state Saturday. We’ll all reach into the 80s. It will also be breezy across most of the state with stronger winds in the northern region.

If you’re hoping for rain, it’s time to start washing those cars, fasting, scheduling the rain dances, and cleaning up the yards. We’re just not seeing anything in the models for showers or storms anytime soon.

Tammy strengthened into a hurricane. Although it’s still moving west in the Atlantic Ocean, models show the storm turning northward away from the U. S. coastline.
