Mississippi Skies: Only a few spots for rain Saturday, cooler forecast still in play – Magnolia State Live

Oppressive heat continues with Saturday being one of the hottest days so far for some of us. Places in Mississippi will have highs up to 103 with heat indexes nearing 115. There’s only a slight chance for an isolated shower, so it’s going to be a sunny day, but one that’s very muggy.

We’re still looking at the possibility of some great weather, at least for the northern region of Mississippi, by Tuesday. We may have highs in the lower 80s with sunny skies for a day or two next week for our northern counties. Unfortunately, the front looks like it will stall out and weaken before bringing cooler weather for the rest of us.
