Severe Weather Yesterday, More Storms Today

We actually had a pretty active day across the area yesterday, and we actually had a few reports of severe weather here in Mississippi. There was one report of penny size hail in Jasper county, trees down in Warren county, limbs down in Forrest county, trees down in Leake county, and numerous reports elsewhere across the country. Today could be another pretty active day mainly along and southeast of a line roughly from about Vicksburg to Corinth. Most of that activity will probably occur later this afternoon as we get some of that daytime heating, and then it should begin to die down after sunset. Some of the storms that build today could be quite strong once again with hail and gusty winds. Tomorrow looks to be pretty active also all across the state with a pretty good chance of some afternoon showers and storms once again. It looks like, right now, that Thursday could be a little less active, and Friday may be dry altogether. Another cold front will begin to approach the area this weekend and bump our rain chances up pretty good once again to make for what looks like a pretty wet weekend as that front just hangs up across the area and leaves us with a really uncomfortable, muggy atmosphere through much of next week.

As far as temps go, we will be a little bit cooler today than what we have been in a long time. Expect highs to get up to around 86 today and the low to get down to around 68, but with dewpoints still in the upper 60's to lower 70's, it will still feel very hot. Places that get some rainfall and cloud cover could be even lower than this, so that's one good side of the active weather.
