As expected, Monday brought an “all or nothing” rain event across the state. While some areas remained dry, others ended up with a long, slow rainfall lasting several hours. Although we’re a long way from erasing rainfall deficits, soaking showers were certainly welcome where they traveled.

We’ll have some more rain chances Tuesday, especially in south-central Mississippi and the Gulf Coast regions.

In areas where we did get some decent rainfall Monday, a little extra time commuting may be needed Tuesday as dense fog is possible.

The tropics remain relatively quiet as far as any concerns for us. We do have a couple systems we’re watching, but there’s no threat for us at this time.
