Mississippi Weather 3/10 Morning - Flood Warning

Good morning. Mississippi. I'm Michael Mosby. Step outside right now and you'll feel that thick Gulf air wrapping around you like a warm blanket. We're sitting at 68 degrees after a mild night.

Down on the coast. Gulfport hits 76, up north around Tupelo. Here comes 82. Winds gust to 20 miles an hour this afternoon, so hold onto your hat if you're outside. As the sun sets. Tonight stays muggy — lows in the mid to upper 60s under mostly cloudy skies. Now here's where things get interesting. Wednesday afternoon, a strong cold front barrels in from Texas bringing scattered showers and thunderstorms. But Wednesday night is the real concern, some of those storms could turn severe with damaging winds, large hail. And tornadoes all possible. Heavy rain too — expect 1 to 2 inches, maybe more in spots. Highs reach the low 80s before the front arrives. Thursday brings a dramatic flip, rain clears out by morning, skies turn sunny, but temperatures crash. Highs only reach the low 60s with gusty north winds making it feel even cooler. That's a 38 degrees-degree drop from Wednesday. The rest of the week looks much better. Friday starts chilly in the low 40s but rebounds to the low 70s under sunny skies. The weekend warms nicely — upper 70s Saturday, low 80s Sunday — before another system arrives Sunday night with more showers and storms. Keep an eye on the sky Wednesday night. We'll have updates as that severe weather threat gets closer. Looking ahead. See you this afternoon.

Mississippi Weather 3/9 Morning - Dense Fog Advisory
