Mississippi Skies: Fire danger expands as we search for next rain chances

Published 10:12 pm Saturday, September 16, 2023

The Dog Days of Summer just won’t let go of control over the Magnolia State. The northern half of the state has dropped to much more comfortable temperatures, especially at night, while the southern half is still reaching into the 90s.

Rain chances are almost zero for the next week. With sunny skies and breezy conditions, there’s not much hope of breaking the drought anytime soon. In fact, the fire danger for Mississippi has expanded with conditions becoming dangerous for some locations.

Right now, it’s looking like Sunday’s weather will repeat most of the week.
