Repeated showers and thunderstorms expected through Memorial Day — Wlbt Weather

Wlbt Weather shows a wet and unsettled pattern setting up across South Mississippi and the Gulf Coast heading into the holiday weekend. Rain chances begin increasing tonight, with scattered showers and thunderstorms becoming more widespread overnight.

Locally heavy rainfall will be possible at times overnight, while lows stay in the mid 70s. Friday brings another round of showers and thunderstorms, especially during the morning and afternoon hours, with highs climbing into the lower 80s.

South Mississippi Weekend Forecast

The pattern continues through Saturday and Sunday, when scattered to numerous showers and storms are expected each day. Highs are expected to remain in the low to mid 80s, and overnight lows should stay in the mid 70s.

Outdoor plans may need flexibility because storms could develop at almost any point, especially during the afternoon and evening hours. Heavy downpours, lightning, and brief gusty winds will remain possible in stronger storms, although widespread severe weather is not expected at this time.

Memorial Day Rain Chances

Memorial Day is also looking soggy at times, with more off-and-on showers and thunderstorms expected throughout the day. Daily rain and storm chances then continue into the middle of next week, keeping the same unsettled pattern in place after the holiday.

Repeated rainfall could also bring localized ponding on roads and poor drainage in areas that see the heaviest downpours. For anyone planning to be outside across South Mississippi or the Gulf Coast, the practical step is to keep plans loose and watch for brief windows between showers rather than count on a dry stretch.
