Mississippi Skies: Front could bring wet weather to Mississippi Thursday
Published 9:17 pm Wednesday, February 21, 2024
Our chance for rain arrives Thursday, but it won’t last nearly as long as the last few systems.
The more north one lives in the Magnolia State, the higher chance of rain. Gulf Coast communities have a slight chance for a shower or two, but some southern Mississippi communities will only have some clouds and gusty winds.
Northern communities could have some heavy rainfall late in the afternoon and evening with a thunderstorm or two possible.
Everyone in the state will have the risk of some gusty winds. We could have a few trees and large limbs come down with the threat of isolated power outages. It could also make driving difficult for larger vehicles and trucks. We could have wind gusts up to 40 miles per hour.
