The weather forecast for Mississippi this week includes some excellent news and some not-so-great news.

After watching models and information from the Storm Prediction Center for the past several days, everything seems to be in agreement for an update to the severe weather threat: It’s disappearing, at least for Mississippi. The target zone has moved north, leaving only the northwestern corner of the Magnolia State with a risk of severe storms. The risk zone includes the Mississippi suburbs of Memphis, Tunica, and other communities in the corner.

The part of the forecast that isn’t so great is the only day we’re expecting sunshine for the next several days is Monday. Although the severe risk is gone, some of us will have some rain Wednesday. Then, as temperatures drop Thursday, we’ll have a slight chance of scattered showers through the weekend.

We’ll also have another very windy day on Monday. As fire departments across the state battled fires Sunday, the same is quite possible Monday.
